[Umc-dev] Discussion agenda for UDS-Intrepid around the integration of Elisa media center

[Denis Gautherot]

> Hi,

Hello all !

> We would like to discuss the integration of a default media center solution
> in the Ubuntu desktop at the Ubuntu Developer Summit for the Intrepid Ibex.
>
This is a very good idea !

> The goal is to give Ubuntu users an out of the box, easy to use,
> well integrated and appealing multimedia application allowing them to enjoy
> their multimedia content.
>
> Competing desktops such as Mac OS/X provide their users with an
> immediate solution
> to browse their content and retrieve content from the Internet in a very
> visual,
> intuitive and beautiful user interface. This is a fundamental part of
> the end user
> experience and makes a big difference in the overall feeling of the desktop.
>
> Major key elements towards success are:
> - giving users a both usable and very attractive user interface
> - perfect integration with the user's desktop (cross-application
> interoperability,
>   visual integration, etc.)
> - it should work out of the box
>
> Members of the Elisa media center team and of the Ubuntu media center team
> are
> willing to attend the Ubuntu developer summit for the Intrepid Ibex in order
> to
> gather around a specification. The basic idea is to take the Elisa media
> center
> and make the necessary adaptation to fit all the use cases that will
> be discussed.
> Elisa has already an interesting UI and comes with an extensible framework
> that would ease the task by an order of magnitude.

Yes it's a good idea !

But for my part, well...
- Actually my job doesn't let me sufficient time to do other stuff, it's a pain
...
- My spoken English is very bad... ;(
- When is it ?
- And I don't have the money to get there at the moment.

I will wait for a summary of this summit !

In the meantime, maybe we can make a list of important items to discuss about,
ordered by themes, importance ...


> A specification has been created [1] and is in a drafting state at the
> moment. Anyone
> is welcome to participate.
>
I will have a look at it.


> An important and very practical point is that we would like to know who is
> interested in discussing it at UDS-Intrepid and on what days so that we can
> book
> plane tickets and so on.
>

Euh, well, as said above ... it will be without me !

>
> Have a nice day,
>
Have a nice evening,

Denis.
