Web-based file hosting, synchronization, and collaborative editing 
services have made sharing files easier than ever. While these features 
aren't new, the web 2.0 cloud context they are being offered through has 
brought them to the reach of the average user with low barriers to use. 
These freemium services often come at a hidden price of control, 
privacy, and usually security.  This presentation will give an overview 
of what ownCloud is, why one might use it, what technologies it employs, 
the services & features it offers, how to set it up, and discuss the use 
case the presenter has deployed.

Jesse Bufton is an independent web designer/developer and sometimes 
graphic designer. Jesse began his journey to *nix operating systems in 
2000. In his most zen of moments, Jesse forages wild plants, hunts 
mushrooms, and ferments both food and beverage with friends--all 
accounted for on the blog Fermentemptations.com
