The purpose of Ubuntu Studio:

1.

Provide a desktop base suitable for multimedia production work

2.

Provide system performance needed for multimedia applications

3.

Include relevant and up to date applications that cover all multimedia workflows

4.

Provide documentation for users that covers every aspect of linux multimedia

5.

Provide various tools (application/documentation) to make system management easy for non-hackers

6.

Report/adress bugs/issues/ideas upstream to Ubuntu -> Debian -> Software Developers to improve applications and packages

Ubuntu Studio Developer Tasks

  • Create Blueprints for each new release, which contain work items that can be assigned to a developer.

  • Testing and bug management

  • Maintain documentation

  • Update the web site.
  • Keep the list of default Ubuntu Studio applications up to date, and relevant - Seed Management

  • Design application categories and documentation to follow a workflow based format, so that users who want to do a specific task are easily led to relevant applications.

  • Test and tweak the system to find out how performance can be improved for various workflows.
  • Look at revamping ubuntustudio-controls to let the user more easily manage the system, without having to edit files manually, or using the terminal to pass commands (realtime privilege, adjusting rtirq - restarting, etc..)
  • Investigate the possibility of creating an application that helps the user more easily find tools for workflow specific tasks. Possibly a custom panel.

Information Channels

These are all the channels and methods used for communication within the Ubuntu Studio development community.

IRC at irc.freenode.net
