Download times are an argument for keeping as small as possible;
the smaller our ISOs are, the less time they take to download. Of
course, if something is considered essential, then it can be
added, but the starting point should be to not include anything
that isn't essential.<br>

<div>In my opinion it's only desirable to stay somewhat
below 2 GB (with a margin of 100 - 200 MB). So that all
2 GB USB thumb drives are fit for Xubuntu, with a few
MB's to spare for persistent space for documents and
such.<br>
<br>
</div>
As far as I'm concerned, there's no need to strive for
"below or as close as possible to 1 GB" as well.<br>
<br>
</div>
With only "somewhat below 2 GB" as requirement, the Xubuntu
developers will get more freedom to add bigger packages if
they wish. Which might benefit the market share of Xubuntu
in the long run.<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm not a dev, just a translator for Xfce (upstream) and for
(X)ubuntu, so I'm eager to get some technical feedback on this
view from the devs. :-)<br>

<br>
in the last community meeting we had some discussion about
the target<br>
size for our ISO. Since many of the team weren't attending,
we wanted to<br>
bring the discussion in the mailing list.<br>
<br>
<br>
PLEASE NOTE that this is not a idea/proposal thread for
ideas on filling<br>
the ISO with $software. People who send software suggestions
to this<br>
thread have the risk of being added to the manual moderation
list. Thank<br>
you.<br>
<br>
<br>
After we couldn't fit into a CD any more, our target has
been 1GB. The<br>
argument for that target size was that it was the next usual
hardware<br>
limit (eg. there aren't many 900MB USB sticks).<br>
<br>
This discussion is current since we are talking about
potentially<br>
including LibreOffice; if that happens, we will definitely
go over 1GB<br>
and there isn't anything we can drop to get back below.<br>
<br>
My suggestion on the meeting was that if we go over 1GB, our
new target<br>
should be "below or as close to 1GB as possible, but 2GB at
maximum".<br>
<br>
What do you others think?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
