[Igor Pucarevic]

Hello everyone,
My name is Igor Pucarevic, and I'm a systems and networks 
administrator, with a lit-o-bit of programming knowledge.
Since all kind of clouds came to life, I was amazed with their 
possibilities, but at the same time I was worried about so many things, 
like security and integrity, accessibility and  redundancy, and so on...
One of things I like the most is to try new programs and features, 
especially open source, as that's where the good things come from ; )
I must admit that the idea of an own personal cloud, made me 
reconsider the use of a raspberry Pi, which I got to learn more about 
programming and electronics.
Now there's a full grown apache sever running my ownCloud stack on 
this little peace of electronics, and with a lit-o-bit of hackin', this 
little cloud can operate on any location, with a plug'n'play-like features.
 I'm really amazed with the possibilities of the ownCloud and I 
have wonderful plans for the future of this project!
I would also like to know if there are enough people in the 
vicinity of Düsseldorf or Köln, or anywhere NRW, Germany, willing to 
organize a meetup in a near future?

Best regards and good wishes,
Igor Pucarevic

[Events] Introduction

[owncloud]

Greeting, list!



My name is John Thieling, and I’m a long-time Owncloud user. Over the last
two years or so, I’ve gotten many of my colleagues and friends to abandon
commercial cloud services and switch to the awesomeness that is Owncloud.



Owncloud makes it incredibly easy to evangelize…the software is very well
written, and the setup is simple enough for anyone who had the wherewithal
to set up their own server in the first place. For those who are less
technically inclined, I’ve found it very easy to install and configure the
software for them, as well as train them on how to make it work for them.



I am very much looking forward to what versions 8.0 and 8.1 have in store
for us. The post I read on how contributors were refactoring the code based
on the results of profiling with Blackfire was particularly exciting.



I don’t know that I have the time to spin up an Owncloud event in my area,
but if anyone in the Greater Chicagoland are does and is in need of help,
I’d be happy to assist in whatever capacity is needed.



Thanks for Owncloud!







Regards,





John
