Sample Page

jos — Sun, 13 Dec 2015 11:40:48 +0000

This is an example page. It's different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:

Hi there! I'm a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin' caught in the rain.)

...or something like this:

The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

Community Code of Conduct

jos — Tue, 18 Feb 2014 16:03:34 +0000

Preamble:

In the ownCloud community, participants from all over the world come together to create Free Software for a free internet. This is made possible by the support, hard work and enthusiasm of thousands of people, including those who create and use ownCloud software.

This document offers some guidance to ensure ownCloud participants can cooperate effectively in a positive and inspiring atmosphere, and to explain how together we can strengthen and support each other.

This Code of Conduct is shared by all contributors and users who engage with the ownCloud team and its community services.

Overview

This Code of Conduct presents a summary of the shared values and “common sense” thinking in our community. The basic social ingredients that hold our project together include:

Be considerate
Be respectful
Be collaborative
Be pragmatic
Support others in the community
Get support from others in the community

Our community is made up of several groups of individuals and organizations which can roughly be divided into two groups:

Contributors, or those who add value to the project through improving ownCloud software and its services
Users, or those who add value to the project through their support as consumers of ownCloud software

This Code of Conduct reflects the agreed standards of behavior for members of the ownCloud community, in any forum, mailing list, wiki, web site, IRC channel, public meeting or private correspondence within the context of the ownCloud team and its services. The community acts according to the standards written down in this Code of Conduct and will defend these standards for the benefit of the community. Leaders of any group, such as moderators of mailing lists, IRC channels, forums, etc., will exercise the right to suspend access to any person who persistently breaks our shared Code of Conduct.

Be considerate

Your actions and work will affect and be used by other people and you in turn will depend on the work and actions of others. Any decision you take will affect other community members, and we expect you to take those consequences into account when making decisions.

As a contributor, ensure that you give full credit for the work of others and bear in mind how your changes affect others. It is also expected that you try to follow the development schedule and guidelines.

As a user, remember that contributors work hard on their part of ownCloud and take great pride in it. If you are frustrated your problems are more likely to be resolved if you can give accurate and well-mannered information to all concerned.

Be respectful

In order for the ownCloud community to stay healthy its members must feel comfortable and accepted. Treating one another with respect is absolutely necessary for this. In a disagreement, in the first instance assume that people mean well.

We do not tolerate personal attacks, racism, sexism or any other form of discrimination. Disagreement is inevitable, from time to time, but respect for the views of others will go a long way to winning respect for your own view. Respecting other people, their work, their contributions and assuming well-meaning motivation will make community members feel comfortable and safe and will result in motivation and productivity.

We expect members of our community to be respectful when dealing with other contributors, users and communities. Remember that ownCloud is an international project and that you may be unaware of important aspects of other cultures.

Be collaborative

The Free Software Movement depends on collaboration: it helps limit duplication of effort while improving the quality of the software produced. In order to avoid misunderstanding, try to be clear and concise when requesting help or giving it. Remember it is easy to misunderstand emails (especially when they are not written in your mother tongue). Ask for clarifications if unsure how something is meant; remember the first rule - assume in the first instance that people mean well.

As a contributor, you should aim to collaborate with other community members, as well as with other communities that are interested in or depend on the work you do. Your work should be transparent and be fed back into the community when available, not just when ownCloud releases. If you wish to work on something new in existing projects, keep those projects informed of your ideas and progress.

It may not always be possible to reach consensus on the implementation of an idea, so don't feel obliged to achieve this before you begin. However, always ensure that you keep the outside world informed of your work, and publish it in a way that allows outsiders to test, discuss and contribute to your efforts.

Contributors on every project come and go. When you leave or disengage from the project, in whole or in part, you should do so with pride about what you have achieved and by acting responsibly towards others who come after you to continue the project.

As a user, your feedback is important, as is its form. Poorly thought out comments can cause pain and the demotivation of other community members, but considerate discussion of problems can bring positive results. An encouraging word works wonders.

Be pragmatic

ownCloud is a pragmatic community. We value tangible results over having the last word in a discussion. We defend our core values like freedom and respectful collaboration, but we don't let arguments about minor issues get in the way of achieving more important results. We are open to suggestions and welcome solutions regardless of their origin. When in doubt support a solution which helps getting things done over one which has theoretical merits, but isn't being worked on. Use the tools and methods which help getting the job done. Let decisions be taken by those who do the work.

Support others in the community

Our community is made strong by mutual respect, collaboration and pragmatic, responsible behavior. Sometimes there are situations where this has to be defended and other community members need help.

If you witness others being attacked, think first about how you can offer them personal support. If you feel that the situation is beyond your ability to help individually, go privately to the victim and ask if some form of official intervention is needed. Similarly you should support anyone who appears to be in danger of burning out, either through work-related stress or personal problems.

When problems do arise, consider respectfully reminding those involved of our shared Code of Conduct as a first action. Leaders are defined by their actions, and can help set a good example by working to resolve issues in the spirit of this Code of Conduct before they escalate.

Get support from others in the community

Disagreements, both political and technical, happen all the time. Our community is no exception to the rule. The goal is not to avoid disagreements or differing views but to resolve them constructively. You should turn to the community to seek advice and to resolve disagreements and where possible consult the team most directly involved.

Think deeply before turning a disagreement into a public dispute. If necessary request mediation, trying to resolve differences in a less highly-emotional medium. If you do feel that you or your work is being attacked, take your time to breathe through before writing heated replies. Consider a 24 hour moratorium if emotional language is being used - a cooling off period is sometimes all that is needed. If you really want to go a different way, then we encourage you to publish your ideas and your work, so that it can be tried and tested.

Fresh from the conference: Nextcloud Android client 3.8 with U2F, TLS 1.3, Remote Wipe and more

jos — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 07:51:20 +0000

We have made version 3.8 of our Android client available today, bringing a slew of security features with many bugfixes and smaller improvements to our users. If your phone hasn't updated yet, give it a kick and grab the new version today!

U2F device support integrated by COTECH

As said, this release brings many security-related features. First, U2F support was integrated thanks to the work of COTECH. The result is a usable login flow: At the bottom, a dialog indicates that user interaction is needed during U2F login. Users get assistant with helpful animations if they are not familiar with the concepts of security keys on mobile devices.

The most common security keys are compatible with our implementation. Users can use them via USB or NFC. Just a simple touch with the key on the back of the device and the user is logged in. But USB usage is similarly easy: Plug in the key and press its button to indicate user presence. Learn more in the blog by COTECH.

Updated TLS support and added Remote Wipe

Second, some internal libraries were updated to allow for TLS 1.3 connections, helping sysadmins who have tight security policies on their Nextcloud server.

And last but not least, support for one of the major features of Nextcloud 17 was brought to the Android client with the integration of Remote Wipe support!

With Remote Wipe, users can delete all the data of their devices from the Nextcloud web UI, useful in case of lost of theft of a device. Sysadmins can instruct all devices to wipe their data in case an employee leaves the company, for example.

Remote wipe as a user, per device

Remote wipe as admin, per user

Nextcloud Conference: Nextcloud iOS client release introduces new share view, dark mode, better performance

jos — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 07:51:36 +0000

The last time we blogged about the Nextcloud iOS client was a release back in October 2018! That's a long time ago, and you're forgiven for thinking not much has been happening. iOS users know better, though: no less than 12 releases were made, introducing an offline file view, voice memo recording, a brand new Media view and much more. The Nextcloud Conference in Berlin was the occasion for the latest release, bringing many more improvements to users.

New Nextcloud developer program: work with us!

jos — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 07:52:29 +0000

Nextcloud was always designed as a software platform and not a monolithic application. This is why we have the apps concept, many of the APIs and why we push open standards. In the past, many developers and companies used these capabilities. Today, we are launching the new Nextcloud developer program to bring these capabilities to the Next-level!

Here's all the news from the Nextcloud Conference:

Join the program

We are looking for individual developers and companies to work with us in building new apps. There are several things you can do:

Develop a complete new server side application on top of Nextcloud leveraging the Nextcloud framework for authentication, storage, distribution and many other things.
Examples would be the recently released OneDrive external storage, the new Maps app or the SecSign ID authentication app.
Write a plugin that extends or changes the behavior of Nextcloud.
Examples include the HSTS app which adds a HSTS header to HTTPS responses or the OCR app which adds a OCR option in the Files app.
Integrate other software, services and projects with Nextcloud. For example, look at Moodle, RocketChat or Zimbra.
Write new desktop or mobile apps that interact with a Nextcloud server.
For example KDE and GNOME integration or the Deck Android app.

Nextcloud is a very popular software platform

So why is Nextcloud a great foundation for your app and why does it make sense to integrate with Nextcloud? Nowadays we estimate the number of active servers to be between 250.000 and 300.000 with tens of millions of users. That makes Nextcloud with quite some margin the most deployed on-premises file sync & collaboration platform! In other words, building a Nextcloud app means having a huge audience who can install your app with a single click! Why is Nextcloud so immensely popular? It provides what people need! Nextcloud's mission is to be the decentralized central hub that allows you to stay in control of all your data, communication and collaboration needs securely, protecting user's privacy. That is the reason why home users, companies, universities and the German and French governments and many other organizations from the EU trust Nextcloud to handle their data and meta data. Nextcloud started like an open source alternative to Dropbox. More like a tool to store, sync and share files. Nowadays things have changed and we are competing with services like Google GSuite and Office 365, covering a lot more than normal file syncing. As a full alternative to the propriety and centralized services from Microsoft, Google, Dropbox, Apple and others, with Nextcloud you can do collaborative office document editing, use a calendar, contacts, do group-chats, video and audio calls, emails, notes, RSS feeds, project management drawings, manage passwords and a lot more. All of that 100% Open Source and self-hosted of course. Nextcloud is also very scalable. It runs on tiny systems like Raspberry Pie up to a group of server clusters distributed over several hosting centers and continents with millions of users.

Why join the program: 8 more reasons

Nextcloud is and will remain 100% free and open source software. This creates a fair playing-field for everyone and makes sure that we all benefit from each others work. We are all equal and follow the same AGPL rules.
Open Source guarantees that you can always run Nextcloud and your application in all scenarios without the need to buy a license or have a vendor lock-in.
There is no Contributor License Agreement or other legal work or contracts needed. No one has to transfer ownership of the code to another entity. Everyone keeps the ownership over their own work.
Nextcloud has good developer documentation. All other apps are open source and can be used as blue prints. Developing a Nextcloud app is easy!
Nextcloud has millions of users. Your work is immediately available to a huge install base.
Nextcloud has an AppStore where you can easily make your work available to all Nextcloud users. So a lot of users will test and use your app.
The Nextcloud community is very welcoming and friendly. So if you ever need any help or support then someone will want to help you and answer your questions.
There are several events like the yearly Nextcloud Conference where you can get in contact with the developers, attend talks and workshops to get on hand training.

We at Nextcloud are looking forward to work with other projects and companies to integrate their software and promote the integration together. If you have build an app or want to build one and would like to get a blog published, or even see if there is a way to work with Nextcloud GmbH to monetize your work, shoot us an email! All the information and the useful links are listed on the new developer portal page. If you have any questions about these new opportunities for developers to build on top of Nextcloud you can always contact us. Let’s make a difference and help users take back control over their data and communication!

Nextcloud Flow makes it easy to automate actions and workflows

jos — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 07:52:50 +0000

We are happy to announce that Nextcloud 18 will introduce Flow. This app will make it easy for users to automate some common tasks through an easy, graphical user interface. Integration with the wide variety of apps in the Nextcloud ecosystem will be an important priority for this project. A first tech preview is available as part of the daily builds of Nextcloud 18.

Here's all the news from the Nextcloud Conference:

What can Flow do

Nextcloud Flow is designed to help you automate tasks. For example, when a file is added to a specific folder, a shared link to the file could be created and send through Nextcloud Talk into a specified chat room. Or, when a new element (like a file, a chat or a Deck board) is added to a certain project, you get a notification.

Here is a mockup (based on current state) of what NC Flow should look like by release time:

One thing Flow can do is can help the workflow of teams collaborating on documents. Think of the approval and review processes, as in this example:

An partner sends a customer order form by mail to a special inbox. The attachments get uploaded to Nextcloud and, because they end in a special folder, are given a specific tag. This tag results in the file getting added as a task card in a Deck board for Team X to process. The chat from Team X notifies them of the arrival of the new task. A team member reviews the form and when done, moves the card to done which automatically adds a 'reviewed' tag. This tag results a notification for the manager. Once they adds the 'approved' tag, the files are turned into a PDF, then shared via a public link, which in turn is added to a mail that gets send to the partner.

As you see, Flow can go beyond files, tying together the various capabilities of Nextcloud. Through an easy API, Nextcloud applications like Calendar, Mail, Talk and Deck will be able to provide actions and triggers for users to use. This means that more and more apps will be able to offer integration, so users can configure Nextcloud to respond to a wider range of events with an ever growing amount of actions.

Get Flow

Flow will be a part of Nextcloud 18. We have just started working on this release, but Flow has been under development for while already. A first tech preview is available as part of our development version, downloadable as a daily build. Input from users is very welcome, as there is a wide range of capabilities that could be added and the team is looking for use cases to prioritize. App developers can also get started supporting Flow in their apps! Documentation for Flow will soon be available on our Developer site.

At the Nextcloud Conference this weekend, a workshop will demonstrate how developers can add new capabilities from their apps to Flow.

Nextcloud announces virtual data room solution for ultimate protection of data during sensitive negotiations

jos — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 07:53:05 +0000

Tens of millions use Nextcloud to protect their data, at home or in their business. That is why Nextcloud takes security so serious, developing many unique security-related features and offering a USD 10.000 security bug bounty to security researchers. In some situations data has to be protected from leaking, even by the people who gain access to it. For this scenario, Nextcloud introduces its virtual data room (VDR) solution.

Virtual data rooms

Say you want to give a third party the chance to review and perhaps even edit a number of documents but prevent data leakage as much as possible. This is useful if you're working on due dilligence for an investment, need to decide on a loan or other sensitive business transactions.

A Nextcloud virtual data room enables you to:

create guest accounts for the third party team and share files to those.
enforce the setup of a second factor for secure authentication when the guests create their account.
use File Access Control to ensure no files can be downloaded by the guests.
configure Secure View ensure the users can still read and (when shared with editing rights) modify documents, while the documents are watermarked when on screen.
Keep email content and attachments 100% confidential by using the Secure Inbox feature in the Outlook Add-in to share to the guest accounts. The email body and attachments are shared securily through Nextcloud, without risk of leakage even to the mail server. The recipient only receives an email telling them a new message was send. They can then log in securely on their guest account and view it.
If you allowed downloading files so the guests can use Nextcloud mobile and desktop clients, you can use Remote Wipe to clean their devices once the project ends.
Make sure that discussions about documents, plans and other information can take place through the integrated Nextcloud Talk so no third party can gain access to the communication, either through listening in on the calls or accessing the chat logs.

A 100% self-hosted Nextcloud solution

These capabilities and more are part of our virtual data room solution designed for use by organizations when they need a space where an often cross-organizational team can collaborate, firewalled off from either or both of their organizations.

It enables secure due diligence during a take-over or venture capital transactions. Multiple virtual data rooms can be set up in paralel, or sequentially, enabling financial institutions to ensure data does not cross between offices, countries or teams.

Where other virtual data room solutions still require data to be stored at a third party and route authentication and real-time communication through their data centers, a self-hosted Nextcloud virtual data room offers 100% control and thus near perfect protection from data leaks.

Forget about SAAS and outsourcing: an on-premises Nextcloud VDR offers the ease of use that speeds up deal making while strict control over access and fine grained auditing ensure sensitive data remains secure.

Nextcloud VDR Capabilities

Nextcloud develops the industry-leading on-premises content collaboration solution, bringing together efficient real-time communication, document editing and easy sharing together in a coherent platform.

Features include:

Activity tracking and audit log, real-time reporting
Built in secure communication with comments and audio/video chat
Secure email box (prevent leaking of email content and attachments with Outlook integration)
Advanced search within the whole VDR
Extensive file compatibility
Unlimited data and accounts
Easy, familiar interface
Document versioning
Extensive security capabilites, including:
Multi-layer, military-grade encryption
Advanced digital rights management
multi-factor authentication
Video Verification to enforce identity proof
Extensive file access control mechanisms
Watermarking of files
Remote wipe
Industry-leading ransomware protection

Nextcloud is used in extremely security-sensitive environments every day in the financial, healthcare and government sectors. Nextcloud VDR provides an even more hardened, secure, complete and easy to control environment for efficient collaboration on the most sensitive data.

You can read more about how Nextcloud can help you with a virtual data room on our website.

Feature highlights

A virtual data room is a setup customized to each use case and customer. To highlight a few of the capabilities and features useful in virtual data room scenarios, we created a series of screenshots below.

Secure Mailbox

This example sends the link and password to the recipient by email. The user can take out the password and send it through another channel. Alternatively, when a guest account is set up for the recipient, the Outlook add-in will detect this and instead share the message to the guest account and include an internal link in the email. The recipient will have to log into their guest account to access the email.
