Next week, ownCloud Server 9.0 is coming! This release delivers a lot of improvements and new features to users and we want the whole world to know how they can give their data a safe home.

With more users comes more attention and development to ownCloud so it isn’t hard to argue that everybody, current and potential users, benefit. Great motivation to help spread the word, right?

Social media

Re-tweeting and sharing the messages we put out on our Facebook, diaspora, Twitter and Google Plus accounts is a great help! And if you’re not yet following those pages, this is a good time to start. Join us in the discussion about ownCloud 8 with hashtag #owncloud on twitter, Google+, Diaspora and Facebook!

More importantly, we have to make sure ownCloud is visible on IT news sites. What is your favorite site? Make sure they cover ownCloud Server 9.0! On the release day, March 9, you can share the news by linking to the release blog.

Of course, in preparation of the release, you should plan on joining (or organizing) a release party to meet fellow ownClouders in real life and discuss all this awesomeness!
