Topics for discussion

These are items that probably need discussion at UDS. They could be converted to specifications:

• Scalable application icons in UNR
• Sounds in UNR
• Logout dialog consistency in UNR (power button, "Quit..." icon, GPM right click, ...)
• Default app and widget selection for 9.10
• Favourites for 9.10 (including sites like Google, Youtube, Ebay, Amazon)
• Desktop loading experience (post-login while panel etc are loading)
• State of DRI2 and hence compositing + UNR-launcher
• Serial consoles out of the box
• Usage of mini-USB port in Ubuntu netbooks (file sharing, networking, battery charging, console...)
• Flash friendly filesystems or alternate filesystems for mobile and embedded devices ("older" jffs2, yaffs2, or "newer" btrfs, ubifs, nilfs)
• Stripping of unused files from installed packages (e.g. man pages, info files, or even changelogs in some cases) to save space
• Android
• Fate of the MID image

• Touchscreen and DeviceKit
