I have always been interested in computers, and would find myself hanging out with the Computer Science students instead of the Aviation Management or Business Management students I was a part of. At home and at work I have been largely self-teaching myself using computers starting with Excel and Access with VBA through ASP and SQL at work. Thankfully my current employer values education, and so I have been taking classes and not only learning the technology, but un-learning what I have been doing wrong over the years. At home, though, I have been teaching myself Linux, system administration, networking and the overall method of migrating our system from Windows to Linux. I am involved in the Danbury Area Computer Society (DACS.org) I have the opportunity to take what I've learned the hard way and hopefully help others.. I have been enjoying Open Source for a while now, and I am hoping to get a better understanding of the entire model and application.

Thanks for posting my story! Or rather, one phase of my story/life :)

You mention downloading the ownCloud client for file synchronization. Does that mean that Sandstorm sits on top of ownCloud, or just that the client is compatible or do you run ownCloud in addition to Sandstorm?

Either way, it looks like an interesting project I'll have to check out soon!
