Blueprint changed by Stephen Michael Kellat: Whiteboard changed: Issues for discussion: 1. The future of GTK in a world where Qt is taking over - a. Ubuntu is shifting to QML/QT5 to support their shift away from the desktop to covering more platforms - b. Unit193 raised the point that Lubuntu is considering a [possible shift to Qt](http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/04/26/%23xubuntu-devel.html#t00:15) - c. Kubuntu is based in Qt - d. Trend-wise what will this mean for us standing apart in terms of graphics toolkit? + a. Ubuntu is shifting to QML/QT5 to support their shift away from the desktop to covering more platforms + b.

Documentation was added to xubuntu-docs during the R-cycle to cover use of it - b. Does inclusion fit within the goals of the Strategy Document? + a.

Get more people upload rights (team delegation, sponsored uploads, MOTU...) - a. The number of people with upload rights is at a dangerously low number - b. To improve our resilience, what steps can we take to keep burdens of packaging and uploading from falling on so few shoulders? - c. Where do we want to go as a community that creates a software product in terms of our own development and growth? Do we want more newly-minted MOTU members by the cycle's end? Do we want more interaction with the Sponsors team by a wider cross-section of our community? + a. The number of people with upload rights is at a dangerously low number + b.

How might this be adapter for Xubuntu + a. Ubuntu has this + b. How might this be adapted for Xubuntu 5. Lubuntu has "Lubuntu" and "Lubuntu Core". Do we need/want to have "Xubuntu" and "Xubuntu Core"? - a. Are we providing on the CD the core of what the users want? - b. Do we have a way of determining if there are things users are not keeping in new installs? - c. How can we assess on an on-going basis the packages we include on installation media? + a.

What other areas should be included within our offline documentation?
