Summary
Port rendering routines to OpenGL ES 2.0.
Release Note
Ubuntu 11.10 now provides Lightspark for the armel architecture, with full optimisations to improve the free flash experience.
Rationale
Flash on ARM is messy, complicated, and involves long contracts nobody wants to read. Further, there isn't a handy package in the partner archive to leverage for those using multiverse (or partner itself). Provision of a free solution helps the base experience, leaving the negotiations to silicon vendors, ODMs, IHVs, OSVs, and similar parties, rather than being a development blocker.
User stories
ARM users with proprietary video drivers that provide accelerated GLES but not GL can watch streaming video sites which still use Flash instead of HTML5 based solutions.
Assumptions
Design
Implementation
Working with upstream, incrementally port to modern GL and then GLES 2.0. Optionally improve performance for NEON capable processors.
UI Changes
Code Changes
Migration
Test/Demo Plan
It's important that we are able to test new features, and demonstrate them to users. Use this section to describe a short plan that anybody can follow that demonstrates the feature is working. This can then be used during testing, and to show off after release. Please add an entry to http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Coverage/NewFeatures for tracking test coverage.
This need not be added or completed until the specification is nearing beta.
Unresolved issues
This should highlight any issues that should be addressed in further specifications, and not problems with the specification itself; since any specification with problems cannot be approved.
BoF agenda and discussion
Use this section to take notes during the BoF; if you keep it in the approved spec, use it for summarising what was discussed and note any options that were rejected.
