== Summary ==

There should be an install option for the Mobile images (both MID and UMPC) that allows user-customisation post-install to better support OEM rollouts and similar use cases.

== Release Note ==

Ubuntu MID and Ubuntu Mobile now supports oem-setup for post-install customisation in multiple install environments.

== Rationale ==

With growing interest in Ubuntu MID and Ubuntu UMPC for form-factor specific devices, it is likely to improve adoption by OEMs or hardware customisation firms if there is an available post-install wizard for user customisation.

== Use Cases ==

 * Alice buys a MID with Ubuntu preinstalled, and uses a setup wizard to set language, timezone, location, username, and other personalisations at first boot.
 * Bob works at an IHV and wants to mass-install a run of 10,000 UMPCs for distribution to end users without expecting security issues from common usernames and passwords.
 * Chris runs an import/export/reseller business, and wants to provide customers with Ubuntu preinstall images suitable for redistribution.

== Assumptions ==

== Design ==

oem-config shall be provided in the distributed images, to enable preinstallation with limited configuration.

== Implementation ==

Except as discovered during testing, oem-config is not expected to be modified.

=== UI Changes ===

Where UI elements are unsuitable for low-resolution displays, adjustments to the interface shall be considered to ensure appropriate fit.

=== Code Changes ===

For an initial effort, no significant code changes are expected, other than as required to support the UI changes detailed above.

=== Migration ===

This will be an entirely new feature, and no migration is expected.

== Test/Demo Plan ==

A test case for MID oem-config install will be prepared for image testing, closely mirroring that for other oem-config installs.

== Unresolved issues ==

No effort has been taken to determine if the set of questions appropriate for MID users matches that appropriate for desktop users.

Ther are no special-case data collection efforts for MID-specific applications.

== BoF agenda and discussion ==

 * People want to be able to set up on their device on first boot -- this interests people like OEM.

 * oem-config exists, and does a lot of it. What do we want in terms of UI for it?

 * Questions were too technical or missing?
  * Questions need to be customized

 * Keyboard layout
 * Where are you? / * Timezone
 * Username / Password

 * needs theming
 * questions asked (sometimes too many or sometimes not enough)
 * frontend?

 * Some questions need to be deferred
  * location/timezone based on IP address when you connect for the first time

 * oem-config runs as user 999 in a custom Xorg session; we could extend this session to be a full GNOME session with NM, GPM etc. and use these in an oem-config-gnome to smooth the installation and skip more questions

 * It is pre-seedable

 * Now that we are using debian-cd, it should "just work"

Add additional hooks? For example, setting E-mail to Gmail

 * OEM uses oem-config-gtk
  * asks these questions
   * Location
   * Language
   * Keyboard layout (preselected based on language and timezone information)
   * Name / username / password
   * autologin
  * doesn't run UNR -- why?
  * runs fullscreen

 * oem-config-hildon for the MID image; perhaps very close to oem-gtk for now and optimized for small screens (timezone map for instance)
