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
