Proposed Specs
smoother boot splash via grub2 and a boot framebuffer (ColinWatson, ScottJamesRemnant)
Package Culling - find and aggressively deal with packages whose merges have been lagging for several releases
Refactor update-notifier - make update-notifier a more modular design (probably with vala), it has out-grown to be a update-notifier since some time (MichaelVogt)
Remove Demoted Packages on Upgrade - We need to explore the removal of demoted packages on upgrade (all, only auto-installed ones, only default installed ones, only unused... how to detect).
D-Bus Refactor of release-upgrader - discuss refactoring the release-upgrader backend as a dbus service to improve reliability/responsiveness (MichaelVogt)
btrfs Support (seconded by OEM)
CD build speed - CD build speed has been creeping back up of late; attack it again
Discuss testing (seconded by OEM)
10.04 Review - hold this early to aid breakout topics, maybe in the first roundtable
Spring Clean - right after an LTS release is a good time for an aggressive cleanup of things we don't need or that should be extensively refactored
Automated transition testing framework (build, run upstream unit test, 2to3, report on ftbfs and test failures, against any/every python version) (BarryWarsaw)
Eliminate symlinks for python-[central (BarryWarsaw). This is a duplicate of foundations-lucid-robust-python-packaging.
Python 2.7 (BarryWarsaw) That should be tested before UDS as a basis for a decision.
Freezing (e.g. cx_freeze) critical dist upgrade tools? (BarryWarsaw)
Compile for i686 as the default on i386 - instead of i486
Toolchain decisions for Maverick. May be followed up with architecture specific sessions. (MatthiasKlose)
Use Energy Star compliance power settings by default (proposed by OEM)
Use xz compression by default for binary packages (proposed by community member)
Use Swap Files Instead of Swap Partitions (carried over from Karmic)
Better archive crawler (carried over from Lucid)
Finish Upstart (seconded by OEM indirectly for their interest in continued boot performance improvements)
Improved Platform-Internationalization Collaboration (seconded by OEM)
Enable Hybrid suspend/hibernate by Default (proposed by OEM)
