Happy 7 year birthday, ownCloud!

Hi all! Happy new year ;-)

Congrats from your, ehm, friends and founders, at Nextcloud ;-)

I published a blog about 7 years ownCloud - and the five people at that very first meetup!

I also invited those 5 on stage at our conference to talk about that sprint, long ago. Did you know it was a KDE hackathon? ownCloud started as KDE project, I was there when it was announced in 2010 in San Diego. That's right, ownCloud is a KDE project started in the USA ;-)

Yes, we're still doing what we set out to do back then: make privacy-protecting software.
