[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] FudCon January 2009

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Hi,

do we have any new Sugar features to add to F11 other than Sugar 0.84?
Some areas I can think of:

- server pieces like backup, etc
- fast user switching
- better integration with other desktops, for example by using the
same NM settings storage that GNOME, or by using the same presence
infrastructure (telepathy's mission control [0]),
- improved support or performance for live usb images,
- thin client improvements,
- more?

If we have a substantial amount of value to bring to F11, may be a
good idea to have a session in FudCon explaining it.

Regards,

Tomeu
