Let's party!

Yesterday, we released ownCloud 7. You might have read that somewhere on the internet - it was widely announced and broadly picked up. If you do not have ownCloud yet, you really should try it now, and if you are one of the people happily using ownCloud for a while, update soon! In my opinion, ownCloud 7 is a real step ahead.
