## oggconvert 0.2.0-0ubuntu1 was ACCEPTED
## Description: oggconvert - Convert media files to free formats
## OggConvert modules * oggconvert.desktop now adheres to freedesktop specification 		== Oggconvert ==

Oggconvert is an easy to use media convertor to move media into a free format (i.e. from mp3 to Ogg Vorbis). Some highlights include drag and drop conversion while preserving meta-data. Since it uses Gstreamer, it can convert most any file that is playable and supports the
Schroedinger encoder for encoding to the Dirac video format (note that this encoder is currently experimental).

== Xfce 4 Goodies ==

The "Goodies for Xfce" project includes additional software and artwork that are related to the Xfce desktop, but not part of the official release. Some related Xfce 4 plugins are: battery levels monitor, clipboard history, disk performance display, network load monitor, wireless monitor and a weather monitor.

== Xfce4 Volume Status Icon ==

The xfce4-volstatus-icon package installs a program that displays an icon in the systray, which allows you to easily (and safely) unmount/eject your removable volumes (flash drives, CDs, DVDs, portable media playes) under Xfce.

Introduction

The Xubuntu developers are moving very quickly to bring you the absolute latest and greatest software the Ubuntu and Xfce community have to offer. Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 3 is the second of several alpha releases for Xubuntu 7.10. With this Tribe comes a whole host of excellent new features. The feature list for 7.10 has been steadily growing since Gutsy opened a month ago. Many exciting new packages have been uploaded to Xubuntu, and developers continue to work to add even more features that will appear later in the release cycle.

Note: This is still alpha (not a stable) release! Alpha releases of Gutsy are not encouraged for anyone who needs a stable system or who is not comfortable running into a broken system. Alpha releases of Gutsy ARE recommended for Xubuntu developers and anyone interested in helping to test, report, and fix bugs.
