Hi everyone, Good to see the sudden spike in mailing list activity. I definitely need time to follow the threads.
For those unaware, we have had 3 IRC meetings to discuss the goals and applications of Lubuntu. The logs are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/IRC%20Meetings. The objective of the meeting was to narrow down the list of applications, and also to decide the goals of Lubuntu I urge patience to go through the logs to understand what has transpired so far. I believe the goals of Lubuntu that was decided during that meeting is that Lubuntu will be a lightweight distro with appropriate functionality and usability. (Yes, I know that functionality and usability have subjective meaning). The list of applications at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications are just a list of applications we will choose for inclusion. Generally, only one will be included from each application category. At the meeting, members have decided to include Firefox, OpenOffice.org, VLC I am not sure if there will be changes following the discussion on the mailing list. Perhaps this can be discussed in the next IRC meeting? > >From: Ed Hewitt <edwardahew...@googlemail.com> >To: lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net >Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 12:13:47 PM >Subject: Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu could end up like Xubuntu (Heavy & Slow) > >>I would say LXDE is lighter than Xfce, the LXDE developers seem to think so. >>I think 64mb Minimum is enough. > > >2009/6/30 Andrew Woodhead <andrew.woodhead...@googlemail.com> > >http://wiki.xfce.org/minimum_requirements >> >>May help to guide >> >>I'd say 300Mhz CPU + 192Mb RAM >> >> >> >> >>On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 3:50 PM, jon york <jr_...@hotmail.com> wrote: >> >>>>>Good point ed, >>> >>>we are forgetting our requirements, and getting head of ourselves. >>> >>>so now that we are mostly agreed on being small and lightweight, what will >>>be the minimum and recommended specs? >>> >>>Jon York >>> >>> >>> >>>________________________________ Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:07:11 +0100 >>>From: edwardahew...@googlemail.com >>>To: lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net >>>>>> >>>Subject: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu could end up like Xubuntu (Heavy & Slow) >>> >>>I believe its a bad idea having different versions of Lubuntu, having >>>different meta packages of Lubuntu is not what lubutnu needs.
