Summary

.Mac Look at possibility of starting a .Mac-like service for use across multiple Ubuntu computers (using Launchpad??)

Rationale

Use cases

Scope

• Is it chargeable? Just enough for server costs or for Ubuntu funds?
• Ubuntu Users or the whole world?
• Would it be available as a package for others or not?
• What Features - Webspace? Email/Calendaring? Photos? Music?

Design

• Could use Hula (when at 1.0) for mail and calendaring
• iFolder for file sharing - not sure if it could used on a large scale
• Obviously powered by Ubuntu Software
• A wizard could be added to Evolution for such a service like with Mail.app and .Mac

Implementation

Code

Data preservation and migration

Outstanding issues
