Hello folks, I just would like to give a few words about points 2, 3, 4, and possibly 6. 2. Discuss and spec out improvements to notifications.<ul><li>For the notifications, i had a look at both daemons, and i personally think notify-osd to be very promising. I'm sorry for not being able to attend UDS physically before thursday morning, but I'll try to get in touch with Mirco Muëller (help might be needed from people who know what he looks like :p) in order to see what will be done in notify-osd during the karmic cycle (esp, will the brigthness-lag and fullscreen bugs be fixed).</li> <li>I hope to get my sound notifications daemon running soon. I also spotted some stuff that could be changed/fixed in thunar-volman (mostly remove the action buttons from the "media not ready to unmount yet" notification bubble, and possibly add notifications for when a device is done mounting)</li> <li>We also have to make sure our icon theme includes notification-* icons.</li></ul>3. Identify and possibly fix the login delay issue | 4. Examine memory usage of default Xubuntu desktop<ul><li>A quick googling brought me to some people whining about the slowness of xfce4-settings-helper, we'll have to check this out.</li> <li>Also related to 4. (ram usage) : we have update-notifier + jockey running on startup, these also take time to launch, and they're very RAM hungry compared to the rest of the desktop. We might want to find a way to load them later, or not on all boots ? Also, tracker is launched by default, afaik. Is it needed by all users ?</li> </ul> 6. Documentation, Artwork. <ul><li>I've got a few ideas for an usplash (not sure we'll have Plymouth by time). I actually love the openSuse ones, they're original, i'll try to get an usplash theme mockup asap.</li> <li>Pasi and me will apparently try to work on improving XFCE's own doc during the next months. Integrating the XFCE doc could be a good goal for improving our own one, aswell as the xubuntu-docs. Having them on the website with a sexy CSS would also help.</li> <li>About the website, what could we add to it in order to make it more useful ? A sort of <a href="http://planet.xubuntu.org">planet.xubuntu.org</a> ? More support options from the start page ? What are we going to do for the lack of mirrors, too ?</li> </ul>Voilà, that's all for now. Im really looking forward to see all those of you who are at Barcelona ! -- Steve Dodier OpenPGP : 1B6B1670 IRC : SiDi on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a> Jabber : <a href="mailto:sidi@im.apinc.org">sidi@im.apinc.org</a> <a href="mailto:steve.dodier@gmail.com">steve.dodier@gmail.com</a> <a href="https://launchpad.net/~sidi">https://launchpad.net/~sidi</a>
