Also since it had been a while since my last KDE donation I stepped up. http://www.kde.org/community/donations/previousdonations.php
26th 09:22 € 15.0 Putting my money where my mouth is. Keep on rocking KDE! I challenge any other OwnCloud/KDE users that are on this mailing-list to step up and show the OwnCloud developers what kind of support they can expect to receive if they remain a KDE project. ;) Regards, Cody Rose Datacenter NOC & Sys Admin > > I think it's a horribly excluding attitude by the otherwise appreciated > > sys-admins.
