We have decided to replace [ownCloud](http://owncloud.com) with
[Nextcloud](http://nextcloud.com). The migration from ownCloud 10  to Nextcloud
has gone very smoothly and after a few weeks of testing, this is going to be
our new, real cloud services. Nextcloud offers us much more stability in the
future and already mature services and applications. Every Luon user can access
it using the login credential to used access his/her/their email.

As a result of the switch, the DAViCal CalDAV/CardDAV services will be shutdown
in the following two weeks as these services are present within Nextcloud, work
just as well and also offer a web view.

Nextcloud has the following cloud services:

* File storage
* Image gallery view on files, convenient for sharing
* Contacts
* Calendars
* Notes

All of these services offer sharing items (calendars, contacts, appointments,
files, folders, etc.) within Nextcloud, but also with external users via public
or private links (with a shared key).
