 We have a lot o photos and binary files inside our documents git repository, so this is an effort for bringing them out of control-versioning and into our owncloud service. We can do that with git hooks, so that we make sure that the owncloud and the git repo stay synced.
+==== Testing hooks branch ====
+We don't want to make important changes to master (because that is usually a bad idea), so we have created a branch for testing this new feature. If you want to test this yourself, or want to contribute, do so on the special branch.
+Inside the arcoslab-doc repo run:
+  git checkout hooks-testing
+  git pull
+** DO NOT ** merge this special branch to master, unless you know the dark magic of git very well. This can be very dangerous and break the workflow of many ARCOS-Lab members. You have been awared!
+==== Syncing the repository with owncloud ====
+As said before we realy want to take out the pictures from the repository, because in general it is a bad idea to manage binary files with git. So what we are doing is moving the pictures directory out of the repository and upload them to our internal owncloud service.
+In order to achieve that we need a methos for syncing the repo and owncloud, so that whenever you execute a //git pull// you can also download the pictures from the owncloud. And also, that whenever you execute a //git push// any new photos are uploaded to the owncloud. It should also be possible and easy for anyone to sync their owncloud without having to execute git commands.
+We are going to achieve this with git hooks. This are scripts that are executed when the user executes some special git commands. In out case we will use the pre-push and post-merge hooks. The first one is used to upload changes to owncloud, and the second one to download.
+We are taking the pictures directory out of the repo, so we need a method to determine when there has been an update in this external directory, so that we can
+Install the owncloud client
+  sudo apt install owncloud-client
+Also configure arcoslab-doc to use our custom hooks
+  cd <arcoslab-doc repo>
+  git config core.hooksPath .githooks
+  git pull
+==== Font configuration for error in the logos ====
+When we open a logo from the repository in Inkscape and press doble click in the letters, there's gonna be an error in the font (Ubuntu Font).
+For a solution, install the next package:
+  sudo apt-get install ttf-ubuntu-font-family
+The error had to disappear with that package.
