Re: installing owncloud for collaboration

[Sriram Ramkrishna <sri ramkrishna me>]

I am willing to help out here.  I need to refresh my sysadmin work anyways.

More work I do, the more I can help.

As I said, marketing needs a collaboration.  We have been using google docs, but it is not free software.  There is also the added benefit that we are working on owncloud feature this cycle so this will also help us test against our own owncloud instance.  We currently have one bug for gnome-online-accounts.  I plan on one for nautilus as well.

Hi,

do you know what the requirements are for such installation? There are
a lot of things pending in the sysadmin's agenda and we're going to
migrate several services to the newest machines so we can finally
shutdown the old machines. That said we don't have a lot of free
resources but we can try to find a deal if the service is really
needed by the community.

Owen, Olav, what do you think?

cheers,

Andrea
