What is Skedda?
Desk booking growing an org-level control layer for multi-site workplace teams.
Skedda's recent releases split cleanly in two: rule granularity in the booking engine (day-specific approvals, hour-precision booking windows, per-day priority access) and physical-space operations (tablet room terminals, bookable add-ons, issue reporting, visitor CSV import and richer visit exports). The Organization Hub, added in late July, aggregates utilization, bookings, and check-in rates across every venue in one view. Visitor management and reporting are both getting export-grade detail rather than headline features.
What is ownCloud?
After years on the 10.x maintenance line, ownCloud Classic is finally cutting 11.0.0 candidates
Two tracks run side by side. The 10.16.x line continues as maintenance, with 10.16.4 published as a security release and upgrade strongly recommended for all installations. In parallel, ownCloud Server 11.0.0 has reached its third release candidate, with rc2 and rc3 consisting of version-string bumps and no code change.

Skedda
6.3COLLAB
Desk booking growing an org-level control layer for multi-site workplace teams.
◆ Current state
Skedda's recent releases split cleanly in two: rule granularity in the booking engine (day-specific approvals, hour-precision booking windows, per-day priority access) and physical-space operations (tablet room terminals, bookable add-ons, issue reporting, visitor CSV import and richer visit exports). The Organization Hub, added in late July, aggregates utilization, bookings, and check-in rates across every venue in one view. Visitor management and reporting are both getting export-grade detail rather than headline features.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving up from a single-venue booking tool toward the operations layer for a portfolio of offices — cross-venue analytics, per-team priority rules, and terminals that work without an account all point at customers managing many sites and mostly non-logged-in occupants. Each new data-producing feature (visits, add-ons, issues, check-ins) has been followed by the reporting surface to read it back, which is how the Organization Hub got something worth aggregating.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Organization Hub to widen past utilization into the visitor, add-on, and issue data Skedda now collects, and for its setup to move from an account-manager request into self-serve configuration.
ownCloud
5.0COLLAB
After years on the 10.x maintenance line, ownCloud Classic is finally cutting 11.0.0 candidates
◆ Current state
Two tracks run side by side. The 10.16.x line continues as maintenance, with 10.16.4 published as a security release and upgrade strongly recommended for all installations. In parallel, ownCloud Server 11.0.0 has reached its third release candidate, with rc2 and rc3 consisting of version-string bumps and no code change.
◆ Where it's heading
The interesting movement is the 11.0.0 candidate train — the first major-version step for Classic after a long run of 10.x point releases. The release notes attached to the candidates say nothing about capability, so what 11.0.0 actually changes for administrators is not yet visible here; the tags only show it converging.
◆ Prediction
A general 11.0.0 release is the obvious next step once the candidate train stops iterating, with the 10.16.x line likely continuing to receive security backports alongside it.
