Blueprints Draft for 13.04

Q-Documentation

• User documentation
  • Migrating from other OS's (Windows, Mac)
  • Hardware Support (possible hardware matrix for audio devices)
  • System configuration (drivers, codecs, monitor calibration)
  • Workflows
    • Audio
    • Graphics
    • Video
    • Photography
    • Publishing
• Developer Documentation
• Add links to Ubuntu Studio social channels somewhere (at the website and the wiki) (known channels are Ubuntu Studio at g+ and facebook)
• testing documentation - create docs that walk new people into

helping with testing

• hardware testing/documentation - we should prioritize which hardware

we want to support, test it, fix it (if required and possible), and document all. do we support firewire? usb?

• tutorial videos - identify a select few and make them and host on youtube
• tutorials/walkthroughs - can be videos, libre office, html formats.

ship on image. for important, core items.

• help/faq shipped on image - can be text file or html or whatever
• mission statement - create one that define and documents target

audience, use cases, hardware supported

• public relations - list of places to make announcements, hashtags to

use, standard announcement verbiage, and links to various resources like banners/other graphics

• user docs - in the wiki or the website, we should pick one and do it
• dev docs - reconcile "contribute to development" and kaj's pages

Q-Workflows

Audio

• Possibly add LMMS to seeds
• Possibly replace XFCE mixer with qasmixer (or just adding it to the mix)
• Decide whether to add volti (volume control in systray for alsa)
• default jack settings - set reasonable, yet sane, default jack settings
• audio plugins - we ship a large amount, can this be cleaned up
• audio plugins - can we create a list of popular ones with example settings

Video

• Add a screencast application

Q-Testing (used to be "performance")

• Finish audio-testing script (ailo)

Q-LiveDVD

• Fix upgrade so that photography and publishing metas are included (LP #1066401)
• SRU the above to 12.10
• ubiquity plugin - allows users to choose which packages to install

during installation

Q-Artwork

• Ask for user contributed artwork on the website (wallpaper at the very least)

Q-SoftwareDevelopment

• Startup System Check Script - Idea: set audio device for jack at first login (will require persistent card selection, based on name - how does Pulseaudio do it?)
• Startup System Check Script - "first start" notifications - can point out help/faq doc, tutorials,

walkthrough, etc locations or important settings

• Ubuntu Studio Controls - Option to keep it in the systray with a dropdown menu
• Ubuntu Studio Controls - Administer user realtime privilege (not only currently logged in user)
• Ubuntu Studio Controls - Killall jack button, killall pulseaudio button

• Ubuntu Studio Controls - Make settings for graphics and videos (as done here)

• workflow manager - (for installing/removing work flows)
• workflow assistant - (for starting applications within a work flow)

Q-Misc

• Decide how to handle ubuntustudio-bugs team and mail list
• Add audio group as a default group for newly created users (not only the first user)
• Change GRUB config to label our partition a Ubuntu Studio with the kernel type (generic or lowlatency)
• lowlatency kernel - finish coordination with UKT and start maintaining it (underway)
• start having meetings
• "support" sub-menu TODO: VERIFY THIS ISN'T DONE ALREADY OR FLESH IT OUT MORE
• backports team - start backporting to precise
• multihead - improve the persistance or document how to fix it
