Hi All, We are on a tight timescale to get the second desktop architects meeting off the ground. I have included the current agenda below. Although we have invited a significant number of people already, if you know of people who might be interested in attending and who would be relevant for any of the identified topics, please drop Marc Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or myself an e-mail.
See also http://groups.osdl.org/workgroups/dtl/desktop_architects/dam2/ Proposed Agenda topics for the May Desktop Architects Meeting: - Summary reports and outputs from recent desktop technical events & activities - Wireless Summit - Power Management Summit - Printing Summit - Portland Project - Libre Graphics - LSB Desktop - OSDL Open Driver site - Distro Updates - Sound & Multimedia - ISV & Developer support discussion topics: - Portland Road Map - OSDL Developer portal - Tools to help enforce ABI stability - Packaging tools: additional features, standard of use * Linux Desktop & Standards: There are several important standardization efforts underway for the Linux Desktop : LSB Desktop, FreeDesktop/Portland and OpenDocument Format (ODF). In which areas are we missing good standards? Are existing calendaring standards up to their job? * Open Source Drivers: At the last DAM meeting, Printing and Wireless were defined as high priority projects for the desktop, which other specific driver areas are in need of more attention? * Sound & Multimedia: Multimedia is still perceived as an area where the Linux Desktop is weak: What is the current status of multimedia support in Linux distributions? What infrastructure can application developers rely on, and what is still missing? Codecs & patents: OSS and legal aspects etc. * Manageability / remote desktop management: Lowering TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is an important driver for Linux client /desktop adoption. Maintenance costs form a significant part of TCO and are closely coupled to the availability of high quality management solutions for Linux clients. What solutions exist today and what are the challenges that todays generation of management tools face?
