Re: Thoughts about Unity and some ideas for improvement
It'd be interesting to know how left-handed people feel about Unity. It's very dominated by super-num, super-w, super-s, super-a, super-t, etc. This is very nice for right-handed people, since you'd usually use the right hand for the mouse. But left-handed people would probably prefer to use the left hand for the mouse, forcing them to move between the mouse and keyboard fairly often. This is another good reason to use the alt-key in super-w and super-s, etc, since that would reduce the necessity of using the mouse so you don't have to move your hands as often.

Re: [Oneiric-Topic] Simplifying system sleep functions
Le mercredi 20 avril 2011 à 17:38 +1000, Christopher James Halse Rogers a écrit : I think that reliability will be the determining factor in whether this is usable or not. This behaviour would be a win if I don't have to worry that hibernate's not going to work - or that my laptop's going to wake up in my backpack and then not shut down properly. I totally agree with Christopher. The recent discussion on ubuntu-devel showed that hibernate was broken on a quite huge extend of hardwares/drivers, especially blob driver where we have no control over at all (IIRC, nvidia doesn't work when resuming from hibernate. At least, all my hardware with that card never had for me). Didier -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

I don't know any left handed person that also uses left hand for using the mouse. Perhaps my sample data is rare but that's what I observed.

Featured Apps for Natty
Has there been any discussion on which featured apps will be showcased in the Software Center for 11.04? If not, is it too late in the release cycle to update the list of applications before the release date? I would of course like to suggest OpenShot http://www.openshot.org/ be added to the featured applications, but I'm sure there are many other great applications that could and should be featured as well. Thanks! -Jonathan -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

We had a very brief internal discussion about it and decided to tweak the list a little bit, but did not change much. I don't do video editing, but I would welcome suggestions, though we are pretty late for natty unfortunately.

Re: Proposing to add Rodrigo Moya to ~ubuntu-desktop

In my experience he has picked up all the necessary packaging skills, is familiar with our processes, freezes, revision control handling, and our goals. In the last couple of months I did not have anything major to complain about his commits/uploads. I propose to add him to the ~ubuntu-desktop team, so that he can commit to our branches and upload GNOMEish packages directly. He has already been a PPU for a while: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RodrigoMoya/PerPackageUploadApplication As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Developers we need two more supporters for this. Opinions? Thanks, Martin +1 from me. I've sponsored a number of his packages and have found his work to be of high quality. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
