Comment (by anarcat):

 I still have to read those minutes, but I can vouch for Nextcloud. It's a
 huge piece of junk written in PHP, with all the warts you might expect,
 but it does its job, and it does it well. It integrates well with multiple
 tools on all platforms thanks to its good WebDAV support and could
 probably bridge without our LDAP server without problems. Plus the extra
 features (like contacts and todo lists) might be useful for some people,
 especially HR/management types.

 It's not really packaged in debian anymore, because of
 [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=816376 upstream asked
 for the packages to be removed] (it was owncloud, but that was before the
 nextcloud fork) so there's no out of the box deployment and upgrade
 strategy. I worked with the riseup folks on running nextcloud in
 containers and that's a promising approach because they maintain their own
 docker image, but that's a new stack to learn as well which we might not
 want to get into. It's just the way I would do it. :)
