That includes the likes of Slashdot, reddit and many others you can think of, especially those in your local language&#8211; they should have a post about the ownCloud release and you can make that happen!<\/p>\n<p>Here is a nice text you can use, or translate, in order to submit the ownCloud Server 8.1 announcement to sites:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This release marks significant under the hood improvements, increasing scalability and performance of syncing and file operations while making ownCloud a better platform for developers to build upon. Security enhancements, integrated documentation links and more control in the admin panel over external storage, LDAP and encryption make ownCloud more secure and easier to use.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The link to our announcement blog will be: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/blog\/owncloud-8-1-raising-the-bar-on-security-and-performance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/owncloud.com\/blog\/owncloud-8-1-raising-the-bar-on-security-and-performance<\/a><br \/>\nThe link starts working on Tuesday the 7th, when we publish the release. Another important link, also not yet working, will be <a href=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/eight-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/owncloud.com\/eight-one<\/a> which is where you can find an overview of all the improvements in ownCloud 8.1!<\/p>\n<p>We have also created nice banners you can put up on your blog or website to promote the upcoming release!
