Heya all,
It took a little longer than expected, but mirall [1] is now really part of openSUSE 12.1 (through the updates [2]). Awesomeness!
Frank has just announced the startup of ownCloud Inc. [3], which will support ownCloud development, help market it and of course provide services and support for companies who need it. This makes ownCloud an even more promising solution for providing Free cloud storage!
More awesomeness. I think we should give this some attention!!!
So Klaas and myself wrote an article [4] which can now be released. It can still benefit from some updates and improvements but I have already scheduled it for Tuesday next week so you'll have to hurry :D
I myself will be flying at 10KM over the Atlantic ocean by the time the article is to be released (on my way to Europe) so I won't be able to apply any review fixes you find. I hope somone else on the news team will be able to do that. Of course, if the article has to be delayed etc - again, someone on the news team will have to take care of that :D
It might make sense to notify the press of this in advance. We could give them the preview link [4] on Monday morning, telling them that: - mirall [1] is now really part of openSUSE [2], one-click-install gets it for users in a quick and easy way - with the start of ownCloud Inc. [3] we're confident ownCloud will be a great long-term solution and you can count on us continuing to integrate it in openSUSE!
But somebody else will have to send that mail to journalists @ os and let it through, I basically will have no internet from now until I arrive in Europe on December 21.
Cheers and much love,
(and see you all soon again)
Jos

After a quick proofreading session, the article looks quite good, very well done. BTW, I tried to have a look at our news schedule @ietherpad.
