GNOME meets ownCloud
Now that we are in the middle of the various freezes in preparation for GNOME 3.8, it is a good time to talk about some of the things that happened over the last six months. One such thing is the integration of ownCloud in GNOME. Go to the Online Accounts panel in Settings (hit the super key or the Activities button and type “online”) to enable your ownCloud account, and you will be able to access your calendars, contacts and files from GNOME.
Calendars and contacts can be accessed via CalDAV and CardDAV from their respective tabs in Evolution. Files in your ownCloud storage show up as volumes via WebDAV in Nautilus and GtkFileChooser.
Many thanks to Milan Crha for making the necessary changes to hook up Evolution with ownCloud in time for 3.8.0.
Is it just for personal servers or does Gnome provide some ownCloud space?

GNOME might offer a ownCloud instance to certain teams. eg., I know that the Marketing Team would like to use it. However I won’t expect it to offer a public service to everybody out there on the Internet, mostly because of limited resources.

This one is one of the new features I was more excited about (I have a owncloud account myself; with this work its going to be much more easy access to all the services)
Thanks a lot for this work

Congratulations on this fantastic feature. I’ve been waiting for it since gnome-online-accounts came to life. Free software meets free software eventually!

Inorite? I actually considered working on this for my OPW internship, until I realized I didn’t know squat about making GNOME apps in Javascript and there wasn’t a good way for anyone to learn and I really should be documenting that instead.
This is still incredibly cool though.
