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.

Awesome list of hidden features!

Aren't these features included in the documentation?

I love the idea of ownCloud... just haven't gotten around to setting up a server so I can play with it and become familiar (yet)!

I know Dropbox and Box can do it currently, but is there a means for ownCloud to open files in like MS Office Online but have them save in ownCloud? Good thing is that MS Office Online can open open document files as well as Microsoft's formats.

That is, until LibreOffice or OpenOffice can provide a web-based version that could be included.
