When I asked Pat last time he said we need it for OLS.. which is usually a placeholder for essential items for shipping a real phone, rather than just ship a distro/platform. I think it needs to be a cross effort of security, foundations and OLS again and should be squeezed into the same effort that will deal with general payments and we should have code etc. at alpha/demo state by 13.10 I believe. > > Thanks in advance. > > Have a great day, > Daniel > > -- > Get involved in Ubuntu development! developer.ubuntu.com/packaging > Follow @ubuntudev on identi.ca/twitter.com/facebook.com/G+ -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
