Today, we look at alternative \u201ccloud\u201d services that are Open Source and can be installed on your own server. While there are no doubt many of these available, one that has gained significant attention recently is <a href=\"http:\/\/owncloud.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OwnCloud<\/a>. OwnCloud is developed totally in the open (you can even clone and run directly from their <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/owncloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Github repositories<\/a> if you so desire, though this is obviously not recommended for running on a production system), in contrast to the \u201cpseudo-open\u201d development <a href=\"http:\/\/source.android.com\/faqs.html#why-are-parts-of-android-developed-in-private\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carried out on AOSP by Google<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re flattered for sure because this shows just how easy it is to turn ownCloud into a flexible platform to do what needs to get done.<\/p>\n<p>In just a few simple steps, ownCloud helps you replace proprietary, or expensive, or non-flexible tools. In fact, we just recently did a <a href=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/blog\/latest-webinar-learn-how-to-easy-extend-owncloud-with-me\">webinar<\/a> on building ownCloud apps, take a listen to the <a href=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/webinars\">replay<\/a> and see how you can build your own ownCloud apps.<!--:--><!--:de--><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REALLY delayed in pointing this out, so my apologies, but how cool is this?
