Default applications on Lubuntu 10.04 – Summarize of the UDS Session

lubuntu
a quick summarize of the session we had in UDS about the workflow for choosing default applications, and with a current proposal.

lubuntu Lucid preparations

lubuntu
The real first release of lubuntu should be for Lucid (10.04), in six months. To prepare it, I began to write 3 specifications [1] about the future Lubuntu, to hold discussion about some aspects of it. I hope to be at the Ubuntu UDS [2] to work on them. Feel free to contribute to them (with constructive arguments, not troll please :)) Nothing is decided, and help in various aspects to make Lubuntu 10.04 rocking, will be very appreciate :) [1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-lucid-artwork https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-lucid-default-applications https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-lucid-packaging-policy [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS
