[Lubuntu-desktop] New idea list for LXDE Google Summer of code 2010
Hi all, Since most of the previously proposed items are not suitable for Google SoC because they are not challenging enough, I rewrite the whole page and to list some real projects which can be done for the whole summer. Some of previously proposed items are too easy and some can even be done within one week. Then students will get nothing to do later. Google summer of code need something of larger scale and they should be projects which spend your whole summer. So here is the new idea list. For students who want to join LXDE GSoC, please read the page and send your application now. If what you want to do is not on the page, mail your idea to our mailing list and we'll review your idea immediately. This is the new list: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Google_Summer_of_Code_2010 Happy coding! ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Screencasts
A link on the desktop should be enough. Please don't include this in the distro. The space should be left for language supports IMO. So people can get a fully translated desktop after installation. This is very important. If some language supports are not installed, the user will get English user interface after installation. However, those who need the language support most are the one who don't understand English. If they don't understand English, how can they know how to get network configured, get online, and install the remaining language support via the tools with English UI? Since we have much space, I'd suggest include all language support given they are not too big. Of course, we don't need language files of gnome. So some dependencies might need to be changed.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Screencasts
Hi, very nice videos. I was thinking about the inclusion of videos in the distro. However, this contradicts with the goal of keeping the distro small. Would it be an alternative to offer a separate (optional) package with support videos for download through the repository as well as via the site? What do you think? - Mario On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 4:32 AM, Julien Lavergne wrote: > Le mardi 30 mars 2010 à 20:40 +0200, Leszek Lesner a écrit : >> >> Here a few new screencasts of Lubuntu showing some of the default apps in >> Lubuntu. >> I intended to keep this screencasts short for the sake of beginners and >> switchers. >> All the screencasts were created with free software and edited with OpenShot >> video editor. >> >> http://blip.tv/rss/bookmarks/206798 (RSS Feed, needs a feedreader) >> The Videos in the RSS Feed should also be downloadable with Aqualung.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] ubiquity
Alternate and standard version are build differently. Alternate use .deb, standard use squash. The better option seems to add the mini.iso functionalities into the normal .iso. But I have currently not the time to do it.

I intended to keep this screencasts short for the sake of beginners and switchers. All the screencasts were created with free software and edited with OpenShot video editor. http://blip.tv/rss/bookmarks/206798 (RSS Feed, needs a feedreader) The Videos in the RSS Feed should also be downloadable with Aqualung.
