Proceedings go here, here's an example from last UDS: [[UDSProceedings/N/ApplicationDevelopers]] == Desktop == You can see a full list of all the blueprints here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric?searchtext=desktop-o * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-gtk3-gnome3|Gnome3/GTK3]] - Plan how to integrate GNOME 3 and port our GTK2/pygtk2 apps to it. * Unity-2d/Qt by default - Unity-2d as default 2d experience. * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-lightdm|LightDM]] - default login/user switching by LightDM. Ubuntu themed greeter as well. * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-deja-dup-default|Deja Dup]] - Simple backup by default * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-cd-localization|ISO Localization]] - Tools and a workflow to provide truly localized CD images. This goes beyond merely installing the right translations, we also want to localize e. g. default bookmarks, or provide a custom background image. * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-gwibber-gtk3|Gwibber UI]] - Gwibber UI port to speed up UI and more modern look and feel * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-cdspace|CD Space]] - Ongoing battle with CD space * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-default-email-client|Thunderbird as default]] - Provisional switch to Thunderbird as default email client * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-software-center-ui|Software Center UI]] - Focus areas for this cycle are a general visual "makeover" (new icons, etc.), enhanced integration with Unity, targeted performance improvements, better touch-friendliness, increased stability and usability improvements. * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-mozilla-rapid-release-maintenance|Mozilla release cycle adaptations]] - how we adapt to the new rapid release process for Mozilla packages. ---- /!\ '''Edit conflict - other version:''' ---- You can see a full list of all the blueprints here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric?searchtext=desktop-o * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-gtk3-gnome3|Gnome3/GTK3]] - Plan how to integrate GNOME 3 and port our GTK2/pygtk2 apps to it. * Unity-2d/Qt by default - Unity-2d as default 2d experience. * [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-lightdm|LightDM]] - default login/user switching by LightDM.

With a target of removing ia32-libs from the archive for oneiric, [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-multiarch-next-steps|enabling multiarch by default]] is also being considered. * Software Center: we will [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-application-sandboxing|investigate options for better sandboxing of untrusted applications]], so that we can make more third-party software available with confidence; and we will also refine the [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-ratings-and-reviews-in-software-center|Ratings and Reviews]] in Software Center, perhaps enabling [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-weblive-integration|web-based test-driving of applications]]. * Upgrades between releases will be improved, with [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-update-manager-release-announcements|localization of release announcements]] and [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-pam-restarts|fewer debconf prompts on upgrades]]. * Image building: live CDs will switch to using [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-live-build|live-build]] for building, and work will be done to [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-image-build-documentation|document our image builds]] for the benefit of third parties wishing to make custom images. We have also discussed whether [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-great-cd-debate|CDs are still the right medium to continue targeting by default]]. * Boot: we will continue to improve the story for upstart in Ubuntu leading up to the next LTS, with work on [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-upstart-for-admins|improving the usability of upstart for admins]] and [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-upstart-convert-main-initd-to-jobs|converting more sysvinit scripts to upstart jobs]]. * Installation: we plan to improve the installation story for Windows users, making [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-wubi|Wubi suitable as a default download offering on ubuntu.com]]; improve our [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-automated-ubiquity-testing|automated testing of the installer]] to find and fix bugs earlier; and provide an [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-ubiquity-advanced-partitioner|improved advanced partitioner]] in the desktop installer with support for [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-ubiquity-lvm-luks|LVM and encrypted partitions]], along with [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-ubiquity|other improvements]]. * [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-ipv6-healthcheck|IPv6]]: with the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space, it's more important than ever that IPv6 support works well on Ubuntu. We will improve coverage of IPv6 support in the installer and in supported server packages, and enhance our ability to regression-test IPv6 support when making changes to key packages such as eglibc. * Our focus on quality continues, with efforts to [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-better-apport-package-bugs|improve the information in package installation bug reports]] which will allow for better automated triaging of those reports, and to make [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-software-raid|software RAID more reliable]]. * Java is a key topic this cycle, with [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-java|evaluation of openjdk-7 for main]] and [[UbuntuSpec:foundations-o-java-on-arm|investigation of available options for Java on ARM]]. == Security == Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UDSProceedings/Oneiric == Hardware == == Other ==
