Mobile

Provide an easy-to-use xrandr interface for MID

Discuss the launcher used for Jaunty on Ubuntu MID

• Very good discussion, talked about concentrating on mid devices, and leaving issues with netbooks to the desktop.

Applications used in Ubuntu MID

• Relatively incomplete: continuations planned for Mobile Roundtable all week, with further review during the development cycle.

Packaging of Hildon in Jaunty

• Dropped

Display Manager for MID

• New gdm looks interesting, but has increasing overhead. Other solutions spotty.
• May be better to concentrate on making startx work properly rather than using a DM

Intel Private MID Meeting

Define what goes into the ship seed on the mobile images

• The ship seed discussion, settled on about 6 items to be added to the ship seed for mobile.

Moblin Overview and Compliance

Weighting the benefits of lpia versus i386

• Expecting greater divergence in future between performance-optimised and power-optimised x86 decendents. lpia remains useful for experimentation, and as example for later divergence.
• Real divergence requires porting autotools, etc.

Application switcher for MID

• Plenty of clever brainstorming coming up during the application switcher session
• We need application singletons for *all* applications; this can be done in the launcher.
• Plans to show running apps and switch to them: new Hildon home plugin + new Kourou!

Mobile Roundtable

Create ISO images for Ubuntu Mobile and Ubuntu MID

• We are continuing to make USB images and adding a question on Brainstorm to understand if anyone really needs CD iso's for MID UMPC
• Discussing building ISO images for Ubuntu MID and UMPC has been deferred due a lack of data -- a brainstorm idea to vote on coming shortly!

Discuss the mobile seed, and related topics

• Drop mobile-dev : no longer needed
• Move seeds to ubuntu-mobile-dev bzr control
• rename "mobile" seed to something else: likely netbook or similar

Discussion of UNR issues for Jaunty

• UNR (Ubuntu Netbook Remix) based on Clutter 0.6,
  • - Intrepid has 0.8. Its not based on the newest stuff
• UNR needs a new name. (maybe)
• OEM Has UNR image, Mobile has UMPC that contains most of the UNR packages, but a bit out of date.
• Might not be able to avoid netbook name due to existing brand establishing
• UNR is using moblin-image-creator, but that change is for another day
• The translations for UNR are hosted in Launchpad, but not currently in langpacks
• UNR has ~43 modified packages, to make apps run at 1024x600, change strings to be smaller, and to make buttons larger and easier to use.
• UNR seed uses additional packages such as desktop-switcher, and diverges from the desktop seed.
• The goal of the UNR seed is to be usable on netbooks on screen, and makes sense on netbooks (i.e. no gimp) + simplicity
• Should GNOME customizations be kept in UMPC?
• UMPC images, current virtual keyboard is cellwriter, but disabled because it was buggy in intrepid.
• UNR launcher needs more work to be finger friendly
• Clutter actually needs 3D, which VMware doesn't support, nor does KVM

Find the right set of images to build for the ARM architecture

• ARM images - netboot/live images/alternative images
• ARM boot - uboot/redboot/others??

• ARM USB boot >>>Kernal-less-img

• ARM netboot - quick installer
• ARM - Netboot/Alternate images small UI, Live Images a larger UI
• ARM Live images - ubuntu desktop, porting packages
• ARM - ubuntu-mid, ubuntu server, UNR, zubuntu
• ARM build - ubuntu,kubuntu, xubuntu, server, mid, umpc =9 cds
• ARM - Mid moves to future?? Support = commited testers is an issue

Roundtable review of available hardware and device support

• Mobile devices - ARM N770, N800, N810, Sharp Zaurus 3200, Beagleboard, NSLU2, Atom Toshiba N80, Compal Jax10, Sharp D4. Other: Samsung Q1 Ultra

Mobile Roundtable

Have a selection menu in the mobile images, similar to the CD bootmenu

• In the bootmenu session it was discovered that the jaunty images already have all we need.

Ubuntu Mobile Setup Wizard
