It makes it easier for people to follow what is going on, we can't all follow all mailing lists and git logs and forums and so on. To start this up I went through information sources like the development mailing list, blogs, news and more and compiled an article about the whole month of April. If you all like it, I can start doing this weekly.<br><br>Now I can't follow everything either, of course, so it would be helpful if you, dear readers, could send what YOU know is going on to me! That would ensure I don't miss any cool things. Mail me or ping me over G+, twitter or somewhere else! Any suggestion is welcome.<br><br><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6zb46hU1SDs/U3PJZM54ooI/AAAAAAAAOow/8q_jOQY_VnI/s1600/mockups.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6zb46hU1SDs/U3PJZM54ooI/AAAAAAAAOow/8q_jOQY_VnI/s1600/mockups.png" height="400" width="386"></a></td></tr><tr><td>UI mockups of new features</td></tr></tbody></table><br><h2>Development</h2>So, let's start with what happened in ownCloud development in April, separated by core, cloud and clients. Note that what is below is not guaranteed to end up in a release! We might re-design things, defer to a later release to give it more testing or change the feature otherwise...<br><br><h3>ownCloud core</h3><br><ul><li>Work is happening to refine the oC 7 public API.</li><li>Lots of work on LDAP improvements (much of that landed in 6.0.3, see <a href="https://blog.schiwon.me/ldap-owncloud-603-improved-performance-and-more">this blog</a>)</li><li>Some work is done for improving support for high dpi screens! See <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/8058">PR 1</a> and <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/8065">PR 2</a> for details.</li><li>Progress on a tool for <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/6457">conversion of data between various databases</a></li><li>Some neat 'ajaxification' in the core, making way for:</li><ul><li><a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/7167">infinite scrolling for files app</a> got merged!</li><li><a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/8041">file sorting (by clicking column headers)</a> is under development, needs review and help...</li></ul><li>The new user management from <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/7151">this pull request</a> is almost ready to be merged!</li><li>There is a project going on to make the normal ownCloud UI <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/8159">more usable on mobile devices</a>. Help is of course very welcome as this is a lot of work!</li></ul><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tHuHOwSQfLw/U3PJYfMZ5_I/AAAAAAAAOoo/a87jQF-oSaA/s1600/mockup.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tHuHOwSQfLw/U3PJYfMZ5_I/AAAAAAAAOoo/a87jQF-oSaA/s1600/mockup.jpg" height="320" width="229"></a></td></tr><tr><td>Good old fashioned paper mockup</td></tr></tbody></table><h3>ownCloud apps</h3><br><ul><li><a href="http://github.com/owncloud/apps/pull/1769">work is going on</a> to improve the view on what happened on your ownCloud in the activity app</li><li>Infinite scrolling & neater layout for pictures app are coming.</li><li>A much improved music app is coming, and a variety of features is under development, like <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/music/pull/233">new playlist functionality</a>.</li></ul><br><br><h3>ownCloud clients</h3><br><ul><li>The iOS saw work on multiple-downloads support. Not finished yet but a future version should include this. There was also work on the 'favorite files' feature.</li><li>The Android client got the <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/android/pull/149">InstantUpload video branch</a> finally merged. This means that once released, the client can upload video instantly, either always or only when on wifi. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/zerginator">zerginator</a> for doing the hard work!</li><li>The first beta for the 1.6 release of the desktop client came out and a bunch of bugs got fixed based on the feedback that came in. If you have not tried the new release, help us test it so we can make it even better. Read more about this upcoming release in <a href="https://daniel.molkentin.net/2014/04/09/owncloud-client-1-6-the-tour/">this blog by Danimo</a>.</li></ul><br><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><h2>Devel mailing list discussions</h2>The entire month saw lots of bugfixes fly by on the devel mailing list. The news app, for example, now deals better with a host of websites, but also got reworked to be finally independent from the app framework. Meanwhile, there's a <a href="https://github.com/Apophenia/news-ff-feeds">firefox plugin being developed for the News app</a>, courtesy of our <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/wiki/Outreach-Program-for-Women">Outreach Program for Women participation</a>.<br><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kl6ztryJ494/U3PJX3IIaWI/AAAAAAAAOos/kab83HpDswg/s1600/bug+reports.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kl6ztryJ494/U3PJX3IIaWI/AAAAAAAAOos/kab83HpDswg/s1600/bug+reports.png" height="400" width="316"></a></td></tr><tr><td>Visual bugreports with screenshots.</td></tr></tbody></table><br><h3>Listing apps</h3>Jan-Christoph announced that he had put together a page listing the central ownCloud apps as well as mobile and desktop clients. There is also a section 'external apps to integrate with'. With this overview he hopes to encourage collaboration over fragmentation. <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/core/wiki/Apps">See the page here</a>.<br><br>Vincent Petry brought a <a href="https://github.com/PVince81/pyocclient">python client library</a> to the ownCloud list, spawning a discussion about the need for perhaps a JavaScript library as well.<br><br><h2>In other news</h2>The bugfix release <a href="https://owncloud.com/blog/owncloud-6-0-3-released">ownCloud 6.0.3</a> brought new bugfixes and <a href="http://www.arthur-schiwon.de/ldap-owncloud-603-improved-performance-and-more">improved LDAP performance</a>.<br><br>The wider FOSS world saw Canonical retire Ubuntu One, to which we replied offering Ubuntu users to come and <a href="https://owncloud.com/blog/canonical-ubuntu-one-users-come-check-owncloud">try out ownCloud</a>. As Frank wrote when Box announced they'd open source some of the tools they use in-house for system administration and engineering:<br><blockquote>"Depending on a vendor is always risky: the vendor can go bankrupt, be bought or raise prices. In the world of web services it also often happens that vendors decide to discontinue functionality they deem not crucial enough. It could just be something you depend on!"</blockquote>ownCloud can be run on your own servers, not requiring you to move your data to an untrusted, third-party server farm." See <a href="https://owncloud.com/blog/value-proposition-open-source">his blog post</a>.<br><br><h2>Conclusion</h2>I hope you liked the ownCloud news of April! Obviously, the weekly ones should be shorter than this one. Let me know in the comments what you think about doing this every week. If you all think it is a good idea, I'll move this to the ownCloud blog. </div></div>]]></description>

<title>Report: openSUSE conference 2014, Dubrovnik.</title>

<description><![CDATA[<center><a href="http://owncloud.comuv.com/Upload/images/csc0177.jpg"><img src="http://owncloud.comuv.com/Upload/images/csc0177.jpg" width="80%" height="80%"></a></center><br>One more fan-freakin-tastik openSUSE conference is over. Thank you <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubrovnik" target="1">Dubrovnik</a> and local organizers for such fantabulous conference. Your city is beautiful. Too bad that the weather wasn't sunny all the time (don't forget that Dubrovnik is touristic city). The old city was dope. I mean it's very cool to stay inside the walls, go to school there. Of course restaurants, bars etc are expensive there, but still it's so cool!!!<br><br>Personally don't understand why everyone in the community linked <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubrovnik#In_popular_culture" target="1">Dubrovnik with Game of thrones series</a>. It's a Hollywood product. Maybe I'm the only one that don't watch it. On the other hand, I saw the cruelty of civil war during 91-94 and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Dubrovnik" target="1">siege of Dubrovnik</a> that lasted for 7 months. Of course a theme couldn't use that, since it's politics (although Game of Thrones has copyrights and it's better not to use it either). <br><br><center><a href="http://owncloud.comuv.com/Upload/images/dsc0200.jpg"><img src="http://owncloud.comuv.com/Upload/images/dsc0200.jpg" width="80%" height="80%"></a><br>Greeks, Brazilians, Germans and Czechs.</center><a name="more"></a><br>People there were kind and happy to help us. During the last 2 days of the conference, there was a religious youth festival and the city was too crowded. Good for us to mingle but the transportation to and from the venue was kind of difficult for everyone.<br><br>Now let's talk about the conference. I was volunteer. My duty was to keep social media updated. I didn't have time to attend to many presentations I had to watch if streaming was on, sound was OK and inform the video team if there was a problem.<br>This year, there wasn't an organized press room, so I could do this job from anywhere. So I took my netbook and sometimes I was in the presentations room, sometimes I was sitting at the GNOME Booth. <br><br>I also managed to bring swag and organize the GNOME booth. Thank you <a href="https://plus.google.com/+KostasLivieratos/posts" target="1">Kostas Livieratos</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/109771781417097774518/posts" target="1">Anna Angelogianni</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/100698378976152085216/posts" target="1">Apostolis Ntokos</a> and <a href="https://plus.google.com/101572283611606913445/posts" target="1">Tobias Mueller</a> that helped to have a great GNOME presence at openSUSE conference.<br><br>Regarding presentations, thank <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_AMhvchzBaexmeFXo2zfjQTV0XxaMliS" target="1">openSUSEtv</a>, I saw them when I got back home. Here some highlights:<br><br>1. Since I'm not tech person, I like almost all Jos' presentations. My fav was the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KufI7O3apZI" target="1">tips about the booths and presence</a>. It was something that I studied and presented at openSUSE conference 2012. If we combine the presentation <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm5JUW6byq0" target="1">Social Skills for Geeks</a>, we will have a better result to our community. Also another cool presentation was his tips to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6-9wou7Vog" target="1">build a community in 10 steps</a>. Since I'm passionate <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UztJ5OEvEvw" target="1">about ownCloud</a>, it was good opportunity for me to watch what the new community manager has to say about it.<br><br>2. Of course <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qQnlogmato" target="1">Tobias' presentation about GNOME</a> was something that I watched (since I didn't make it to see him live). I presented many things that he told us here in Greece. I used the new version 3.12 and I'm very excited about it. Richard Brown told us that new version is in Tumbleweed repos and on a stable repository so users can use it.<br><br>3. A must see presentation is <a href="http://youtu.be/G-r_ML-MnMo" target="1">Design and Branding - The Way Forward by Ken Wimer</a>. Branding and new design is what makes the difference to every product (not only software). Typography, fonts, slides and how to present is what matters.<br><br>4. As part of the <a href="https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program" target="1">Travel Support committee</a>, I presented a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQD7dc01nIc" target="1">part about the program</a>, but Ancor's presentation about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDA4ccqp570" target="1">how to use the TSP application to request for reimbursement</a>, is the presentation we should use for future questions how to use the <a href="https://connect.opensuse.org/travel-support" target="1">TSP tool</a>.<br><br>Personal highlights is that I met with Tobias Mueller. We used to mail each other about GNOME. Now I met him AFK. <br><br>Also another highlight was that I met Michal Meeks. He had a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOa8sMQPG14" target="1">keynote presentation about The Document Foundation and LibreOffice</a>.<br><br><center><a href="http://owncloud.comuv.com/Upload/images/meeks.jpg"><img src="http://owncloud.comuv.com/Upload/images/meeks.jpg" width="80%" height="80%"></a><br><br>Anna, Apostolis, Wookey, Me, Francoise, Michael, Kostas</center><br>For more pictures you can check <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/113385548251515365143/113385548251515365143/photos" target="1">Google Plus Greece</a> and <a href="https://plus.google.com/events/c8v2n62kf4dqqt2odqb1aub88fg" target="1">Google Plus event page</a>.<br><br>I hope I covered everything. Now the future. Next openSUSE conference will take place in The Hague. Thank to Hans de Raad. I'll see you next year!!!<br><br>I would like to thank openSUSE that sponsored part of my expenses for this conference.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Last week saw several events in Berlin’s <a href="http://www.station-berlin.de/" target="_blank">Station</a> event location that also featured ownCloud in one way or the other. The first, <a href="http://re-publica.de/" target="_blank">re:publica</a>, is probably mostly known by bloggers and internet activists. Titled <em>Into the wild</em>, an obvious tongue in cheek about the unsafe and well-surveilled place the internet has become, it was a great place to talk about ownCloud. <a href="http://blog.karlitschek.de/" target="_blank">Frank</a> took that opportunity and was received by a packed room, to which he delivered a <a href="https://www.voicerepublic.com/venues/197/talks/171">talk about ownCloud</a>, despite <a href="http://www.dw.de/republica-2014-digital-natives-summit-to-tackle-surveillance-and-online-freedoms/a-17613110">The Hoff</a> performing on Stage 1 at the same time.</p>
<p></p><div><a href="https://daniel.molkentin.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/05/1_small.jpg"><img src="https://daniel.molkentin.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/05/1_small-150x150.jpg" alt="Jos and Arthur at a freshly set up booth." width="150" height="150"></a><p>Jos and Arthur at a freshly set up booth.</p></div>The last day of re:publica coincided with the first day of <a href="http://www.linuxtag.org/2014/">LinuxTag 2014</a>, which moved from Fairgrounds to Station Berlin. This brought a lot of new people to visit our booth, which ownCloud shared with openSUSE and KDE, courtesy of our new Community Manager <a href="http://blog.jospoortvliet.com/">Jos</a>.
<p>On Thursday, <strong>Frank and I also got invited and interviewed about ownCloud</strong> by the <em>Sondersendung</em> Podcast. If you can understand German, you can listen to our <a href="http://das-sendezentrum.de/sondersendung/sz010-open-source-fuer-alle#t=42:16" target="_blank">15 minute interview</a> .</p>
<p></p><div><a href="https://daniel.molkentin.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/05/2_small.jpg"><img src="https://daniel.molkentin.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/05/2_small-150x150.jpg" alt="ownCloud is a proud sponsor of LinuxTag 2014." width="150" height="150"></a><p>ownCloud is a proud sponsor of LinuxTag 2014.</p></div>At the presentation area of our booth, <strong>Arthur and Georg gave workshops on writing your first ownCloud app</strong>, while I was covering the <strong>details of the synchronization process</strong> in depth. Every day of LinuxTag, quite some people took the chance to listen and ask questions.
<p>Others just walked up to our demo point for a quick demonstration of ownClouds capabilities and concepts. Some inquired about the improvements from earlier versions they have used, and most were impressed by the progress that ownCloud 6 and ownCloud Client 1.6 represent. Since LinuxTag joined forces with <a href="http://de.droidcon.com/2014/" target="_blank">droidcon</a>, we also had lots of <strong>questions on our mobile integration</strong> for Android (and iOS, :), for both ownCloud app and calendar/addressbook sync.</p>
<p>In total, LinuxTag has been a really great show this year, which was mostly owed to the co-location with other events and the more central location. We’re looking forward to LinuxTag 2015!</p>
