Hi,

I am currently working on setting up OwnCloud for TU Graz. First  
install will only be for employees (~ 3.500 users), eventually we will  
scale it up an offer it for students to. I hopefully will get this  
running during march so maybe I can report something concering  
scalability.

Regards,
