Introduction

This Team works on making the Ubuntu Media Center dream come true.

For a good definition of the Media Center, have a look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_center Wikipedia].

The main tasks of this Team are:

• federate all Ubuntu forces interested in the subject and create a Development Community,
• sum up the state of the (media center) art,

• specify the functions and look & feel of the Ubuntu Media Center,

• create the needed ressources and content (graphical and textual) and plugins,
• package and maintain everything needed for an Ubuntu Media Center,
• create a specific distribution for UMC installation,
• maintain and improve the results,
• work closely with upstreams (Elisa, Debian, LIRC, ...).

The Ubuntu Media Center will be both suited for desktop usage, but also for dedicated appliance.
