== Potential Needs ==
''(This list is taken from the collaborative pad from UDS-R IT-Manager Session)''

'''You are very welcome to add your needs to the list.'''



 * Puppet/cfengine/etc used to control servers and clients (desktops)
  * No common rules shared between companies. Can we change that?

 * Landscape: Who uses it for what?
  * Staged roll-outs (canary rollout)
  * Managing Updates
  * Internal landscape
  * Anything else we need to know?
  * Useful API Examples

 * Secure printing

 * Mass Deployment
  * Using MAAS and JUJU
  * Preseeding the alternative CD
  * Preseed dpgk-packages for silent install (in a script or with the alternative CD)
   * Citrix: sudo sh -c "echo icaclient icaclient/accepteula select true | debconf-set-selections"
             sudo sh -c "echo ctxusb ctxusb/accepteula select true | debconf-set-selections"
   * Java (deprecated) 
   * ttf-mscorefonts-installer: sudo sh -c "echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true | debconf-set-selections"
   * Adobe not as default viewer (see http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Google-warns-of-using-Adobe-Reader-particularly-on-Linux-1668153.html)
    
    → We should have something like charms in JuJu to define/run common tasks
    
 * Active Directory Integration
  * VAS/QAS/DAS?
  * SSSD
  * Samba 4.0?
  * Likewise Open
  * Beyondtrust
  * Centrify
  * NSS-LDAP / Kerberos

 * User Desktop preparation
  * Preinstall printers
  * Modify user desktop (starters, background, login)
  * GNOME / Unity Lockdown
    
 * Private Packaging
  * Setup a own archive
  * Package existing (binary) software
    → Verified 'Ubuntu in the Enterprise' team members should get a Private PPA on request

 * Exchange Calendar integration with default mail client (Thunderbird)
    http://www.1st-setup.nl/wordpress/?page_id=133

 * Root logging
  * Logging all activity on the machine _after_ the user becomes root

 * Is OpenJDK OK for the enterprise?
  * There are some applications, hardware solutions that require Oracles JDK

 * Managed/Business Ubuntu community. The needs are:
  * people commitment
  * mailing list (perhaps on https://lists.ubuntu.com/)
  * A Launchpad Team: This would give us a ppa and a mailinglist 
   * How open should the team be? Would new members have to apply? I'd say open group
  * wiki pages. There are some pages that started the effort but seemed to have been abandoned:
   * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Enterprise
   * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CorporateUbuntu
  * forum topic?
  * submissions of howtos for particular topic (there's a lot of topics)
  * submissions of ready-made tools

 * Enterprise Networking → https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnterprisePlugNPlay
