MartinPitt conducts a review of the most popular ideas on [[http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com||brainstorm]] for the December 2012 [[TechnicalBoard/BrainstormReview|brainstorm review]] cycle.

There are quite a number of software center related issues, but as this is currently being redesigned anyway (dash integration) I skipped those.

=== No Ubuntu version in the splash screen, for telling apart images/burned CDs ===

 * http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/30269/

 * Status: No further action

=== No way to control music while screen is locked ===
