There was talk some years ago of having an Ubuntu wide Mumble server,
but I don't think anyone ever set one up. It's pretty straightforward
to setup a mumble server. I have one for the Ubuntu Podcast which we
use when we record, but it's not setup for many users.

The Hacker Public Radio Mumble server is very friendly, and has some
cross-over in terms of philosophy. So if we were all going to meet up
somewhere that might be a good place.
host: ch1.teamspeak.cc
port: 64747

Personally I hang out on the Jupiter Broadcasting one sometimes,
especially when they're recording shows, but also in the evenings when
things are quiet.
host: new.mumble.jupitercolony.com
port: 64734

Cheers,

GNOME shell is quite a lot more extensible than I think a lot of people
give it credit for. It would be possible for applications to ship their
own extensions, and provide UI to enable or disable an icon for their
needs on the panel if they so chose.

It is disappointing that the GNOME folks decided to exclude a UI to work
with extensions from base GNOME, but that doesn't prevent applications
from including settings to show themselves in the shell somewhere via
an extension.
