Just recovery from our weekend-long ownCloud development meeting — and what a meeting it was.

Held here in the Stuttgart ownCloud offices, myself and 18 ownCloud contributors from across Europe borrowing down on the next version of ownCloud (coming next month) — coding, brainstorming new features and functions and having fun.

We worked on a lot of different features:

• General stabilization of the ownCloud 4 code base.
• Work on a solution that solves the big file upload problem once and for all.
• Huge database optimizations for better performance.
• Improved KDE integration
• Implementation of an LDAP groups backend and big improvements in the LDAP user integration.
• Implementation of a lucene search engine for files. We now have proper searching. 🙂
• UX optimisation all over the place
• Lot´s of small design improvements
• Improvement on ownCloud.org
• Work on Debian Packaging
• OpenID support
• Drag and Drop uploading
• Implementation of a “Find my Android phone” location based feature.
• Working on versioning and encryption support
• Lots of bugfixes at the Desktop Syncing client
• Porting of the Desktop Syncing Client to Mac OS X. Release soon.
• UX improvements at the Desktop Syncing Client.
• Work started on an ownCloud mail client.
• Lots of bugs fixed

I want to thank everybody for their creativity, energy and the fun.

Looking forward to the next meeting later this year already!
