Hi all, Today we announced the creation of the ownCloud Foundation which will guarantee the viability and availability of free ownCloud now and in the future. We have made a commitment to open development in a blog recently and want to extend that further to ensure that the community is providing the direction, planning and atmosphere that is best for the project. The ownCloud community has matured a lot over the last few years and is certainly to play a bigger part in its own destiny.
We have added lots of info at foundation.owncloud.org (including preliminary bylaws, elections, etc) but wanted to provide a few highlights. Membership is free and open to everyone. We have proposed four working groups to focus on in the beginning: - Technical - Security - Evangelism - ownCloud Contributor Conference For those of you who are already very involved with ownCloud, nothing changes in how you contribute, and we are very thankful for your continued support. If you want to join the Foundation public mailing list or sign up for emails that share Foundation announcements, you can do so on the new foundation.owncloud.org site. This is an exciting step toward making sure the ownCloud community remains in the open and is governed by all of you. Best, Markus -- Markus Rex ([email protected]) Chief Executive Officer 10 Foster Road ownCloud Inc.
