We will be a regular Ubuntu team with meetings, with a mailing list, with bugs (oh yes, ...), an opinion how to do things and thrilling ideas how to let the Ubuntu Desktop evolve.

 * We'll collect visions and ideas on ["DesktopTeam/Visions"]
 * Our short-term todo list: ["DesktopTeam/TODO"]

== Goals ==

Our list of goals include:
 * we will triage and fix bugs on both http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com and http://launchpad.net/malone/
 * we will list new shiny desktop stuff we should have (no promise we'll get any of them in for Breezy)
 * stress-test our favourite desktop environment
 * discuss and fix issues and bring some good hackers in, knowing how different parts of the desktop work and able to reply to some specific questions
 * create a technical place/list with people having good knowledge about specific desktop parts

== First meeting ==

We will meet on Wednesday, September, 28th in #ubuntu-desktop until the others throw us out.

Please note: this team will start cracking on Wednesday, 28th, but we'll move on from there; for Dapper Drake we'll have a lot of fun and a lot of time to make the most awesome things happen.
