[kwlug-disc] Nextcloud, ownCloud, ...etc

[Jeff Smith]

OK, a couple of you guys mentioned changing the update frequency.  I 
thought I did that, but to test I just did it again, setting it to once 
per day.  We'll know in a few days if the calendar updates.

Thanks for all the tips, I'm working my way through implementing them.
