Hi guys, Thanks for the feedback.
Here is the proposal : https://www.eclipsecon.org/france2014/session/syncany-secure-open-source-file-sync-tool-concepts-architecture-and-work-progress And you can retweet this to attract interest, and hopefully have the talk selected :) https://twitter.com/eclipsecon/status/455738635401187328 Mathieu 2014-04-12 16:55 GMT+02:00 Thibaud Antignac <[email protected]>: > Hello, > > This is my first message to the list.
