Written by mikhailov the 8 Mar 08 at 15:08. Global category: Programming. Won't implement
Include RubyOnRails into LiveCD will provide a chance to learn a excellent programming language on great OS (just boot on CD)

Ruby on Rails is a breakthrough in lowering the barriers of entry to programming.Powerful web applications that formerly might have taken weeks or months to develop can be produced in a matter of days.

Walk toward Web Style GUI Instead of Desktop GUI  
Written by EduardoWillians the 10 Mar 08 at 18:02. Global category: Graphics. Won't implement
Just use more HTML and (maybe) Ajax to build Ubuntu GUIs. It's simple and It would push Ubuntu one step ahead. Actually, It could turn Ubuntu on the most friendly OS.

Esc when Ubuntu boots to see the geeky message stuff  
Written by Eldmannen the 12 Mar 08 at 02:54. Global category: System. New
When Ubuntu boots, you see the Ubuntu logo and a progress bar.

That is good, new users wont get scared by the geeky stuff.

But as an advanced user, sometimes I kinda would like to see whats going on, what is really happening.

So it would be nice if I could press the "Esc" key, and it would switch from graphical boot, to show the geeky text stuff on start up.

You know, stuff like:
NET: Registered protocol family 2
IP route cache hash table entries: 32768 (order: 5, 131072 bytes)
TCP established hash table entries: 131072 (order: 8, 1048576 bytes)
TCP bind hash table entries: 65536 (order: 7, 524288 bytes)
TCP: Hash tables configured (established 131072 bind 65536)
TCP reno registered
checking if image is initramfs... it is
Freeing initrd memory: 7221k freed

Create the most professional distribution for musicians  
Written by MerlinofChaos the 7 Mar 08 at 21:25. Global category: Multimedia. New
I'm a musician, I'm afraid of putting ubuntu studio because first of all, I would rather have the same graphical installer that the regular ubuntu has, and second of all I'm afraid of putting it because I know that it does not support VST's out of the box and I would need to install wine and wineasio and what not for it.

I think other than the general multitrack sequencers, the linux world needs actual professional CROSS-PLATFORM sequencer, and support some of the standards for the virtual instruments that have been for quite some time. Also it would be nice if someone would make a unique Virtual Instruments host like for example GarageBand which has instruments that represent a real band.

Another annoyance would be Jack. While I've used Jack myself with my older sound card, I had to do quite a bit to get it running, and also I don't see the need to have Jack as a separate application. Something like Jack could be done just like ASIO, a driver/daemon (Not an application you have to run every time you need to go low level) for low latency sound production. For example in Windows in multiple applications I just setup the different stuff and that's it, every time I want to play something I just run the sequencer or just the VSTi plugin and I can play it with all my settings like I wanted..

Solutions - Talk with Steinberg or one of the big name companies to port their software and show them that linux is a viable solution for musicians.
Or like said above - Create cross platform software (Of course targeted at linux more than others).

Anyway, hope you can get that idea into work, it would be so excellent that Ubuntu will be my main operating system.

P.S: Great site :)

Allow deletion of users own ideas  
Written by days_of_ruin the 11 Mar 08 at 22:35. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. New
So you make a bad idea that everyone hates.
After awhile it clogs up your "my ideas" page
plus there is no reason to waste space on the servers.

Brainstorm : Students Ideas  
Written by useful_idiot the 12 Mar 08 at 03:14. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. New
Brainstorm is to suggest ideas but I believe that most people who vote here are end users and they are not long time Ubuntu users. So ideas representing *good good* things which end user can understand get many votes. Like "Bluetooth support should be added.". But sometimes students who are willing to add their share by working on small projects try to give some technical details but as soon as an idea goes technical, many people don't understand it, hence no votes. This gives them a bad impression. So a separate space should be provided for these kind of ideas, which will be reviewed by some experienced users only.

Poner a precios justos, los futuros USB Live de ubuntu.  
Written by victor manuel marino the 29 Feb 08 at 00:07. Global category: Installation. New
Ubuntu, podria a medida que se popularice la opcion de bootear desde los usb, en casi todas las maquinas, seria muy interesante poner a un precio justo, pendrives de 1 a 4 gb, con todo un sistema operativo Ubuntu en su interior. esto va a hacer que sea mucho mas facil y mas extendido el uso de Ubuntu.

Una golazo contra microsoft.
