Ubuntu as project in Google Summer of Code 2010

[Danny Piccirillo]

Alright, let's get all the CC'd lists on the same thread. I have a
number of bugs i think might be worthy for Google's SoC--

Experimenting with intuitive scrollbars:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/253546
Conference (multi-party) calls in Empathy:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/493383
Metacontacts in Empathy using People or Soylent:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/256478
Call recording on Empathy:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/414971
Merge istanbul into gnome-screenshot or include it in gnome-utils
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gnome-utils/+bug/404778
Support for VaAPI in Gstreamer:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/531692
Support for VDPAU in Gstreamer:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/531693
OTR Encryption for Empathy:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/296867


I'm curious to see which of these people see as high-priority or not

Cheers,
