Eventzilla vs Nextcloud Talk: at a glance
What is Eventzilla?
Eventzilla's feed wakes up after 18 months with two event-marketing blog posts.
Eventzilla's feed was silent from March 2025, when five new event landing-page themes shipped, until October 1, 2026, when two marketing posts appeared: one on building registration pages that convert and one on overhyped event marketing tactics. The rest of the feed is evergreen event-planning content from 2024.
What is Nextcloud Talk?
Nextcloud Talk v23.0.14 fixes Firefox video and keeps v25 waiting at RC3.
Nextcloud Talk keeps patching its supported branches. On November 5 four branches shipped together with share-permission fixes and password protection for instant meetings; on November 12 v23.0.14 added an option for external call services to set the participant list and fixed a Firefox simulcast race and read-marker checks. The v25 line has not moved past RC3 since September 10.

Eventzilla
0.0MEETINGS
Eventzilla's feed wakes up after 18 months with two event-marketing blog posts.
◆ Current state
Eventzilla's feed was silent from March 2025, when five new event landing-page themes shipped, until October 1, 2026, when two marketing posts appeared: one on building registration pages that convert and one on overhyped event marketing tactics. The rest of the feed is evergreen event-planning content from 2024.
◆ Where it's heading
The blog has resumed, but with advice content rather than product news. The registration-page post sits close to the product's own registration pages, which may be where future product updates land.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from the feed; more marketing posts are likelier than a product release.
Nextcloud Talk
5.0MEETINGS
Nextcloud Talk v23.0.14 fixes Firefox video and keeps v25 waiting at RC3.
◆ Current state
Nextcloud Talk keeps patching its supported branches. On November 5 four branches shipped together with share-permission fixes and password protection for instant meetings; on November 12 v23.0.14 added an option for external call services to set the participant list and fixed a Firefox simulcast race and read-marker checks. The v25 line has not moved past RC3 since September 10.
◆ Where it's heading
Effort is going into security fixes across every supported branch rather than into shipping v25. The two-month gap since RC3 is the main open question in this feed.
◆ Prediction
Expect further backported fixes across v20 to v23; whether v25.0.0 ships soon is unclear from the entries.
