Hi all, Following the desktop team sprint in October and the UOS session last week I wanted to quickly follow up on some proposed changes to the default install and gather any feedback.
Brasero - to be removed from the image and put into Universe. The rationale here is that little development or maintenance is happening upstream, there are some bugs/issues which are yet to be fixed upstream and its importance is diminished with the adoption of USB thumb drives. Very few people are writing CDs/DVDs these days and those who need it can still install Brasero from the archive. Empathy - to be removed from the image and put into Universe. The rationale here is again it's largely unmaintained now and that fewer chat services can used with Empathy, because services such as Facebook are moving everything back to their websites and away from XMPP. Gnome Calendar - to be added to the image. This brings a stand-alone Calendar application with integration with Unity. I expect these changes to have little impact on the majority of users but please let us have your feedback. Cheers, Will
