Excerpts from Fabian Rodriguez's message of 2012-12-13 13:52:23 +0000: > Try Jistsi sometime (https://jitsi.org/index.php/Main/Download). Try > (free / dirt-cheap) VoIP using SIP/AIX providers that use GNU/Linux too > sometime (here: voip.ms or unlimitel.ca). Also try OwnCloud (or just a > webdav share!). i remember while ago testing Jitsi's VoIP and video together with one of OwnCloud contributors... both over SIP and XMPP... i still couldn't honestly recommend using it for someone who just want this damn thing to work...
can you point me to How-To explaining how to mimic Dropbox behaviour with OwnCloud? just found this article: http://darcynorman.net/2012/05/23/on-reclaiming-dropbox-with-owncloud/ which ends with: "Update: after a couple days of trying out ownCloud with the desktop syncing, it’s just not reliable enough to use yet. syncs may fail. the client app may silently crash. I lost some files somehow. It’s getting close, but not quite ready for production use yet. Back to Dropbox for now…" and I still hold my point: **In not Ubuntu milions of people using it nowadays would never move away from MacOS and Windows** !!! which doesn't justify their latest decisions but at the same time I don't like to loose bigger context just because of recent failures... i hope we can get back on coding and polishing all the rough ages of libre software and really try to avoid friendly fires ;) ☮
