In this edition, we conducted an email-based interview with Frank Karlitschek, the lead developer of ownCloud, a server software project that provides universal access to your files via the Web, your computer, or your mobile devices — wherever you are.

It is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3, or at your option, any later version.
