Support popular types of games  
Written by Kent88 the 3 Mar 08 at 00:13. Category: Gaming. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
People like games, and while Linux has done very well with the card games, minesweeper and tetris type games, lets get some games that people can really get excited about.

How about starting or supporting one each of a
1)First Person Shooter (FPS)
2)Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG)
3)Real Time Strategy Game (RTS)
4)Other popular game types that Linux lacks (Other people, submit your ideas)

I have seen these types of games on linux, and some of them have been pretty good, but not many people know about them. Start new or support existing game projects that work on most Linux platforms, and make them something to be excited about.

If we can have Linux games that people are excited about and like playing we will have less and less need for WINE and dual-boot machines. (although I personally appreciate the WINE developers, they work really hard).

Auto-Detection for GPS-Devices  
Written by redd the 28 Feb 08 at 16:50. Category: Hardware support. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Today the usage of a GPS-Device isn't easy in Ubuntu. There should be an auto-detection for GPS-Devices ..like Printers and Bluetooth-Devices. It would be very cool to track myself with tools from the standard-installation. Only the basic GPS-information are needed: positions, altitude, speed and tracking (positions-with-time). Thanks.

Push for Ubuntu on Dell machines worldwide  
Written by kuahyeow the 29 Feb 08 at 09:11. Category: Installation. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
With Ubuntu on Dell machines in the USA, I'm sure this means better boot times, hardware integration, sound, network are all nice and good.

Ubuntu should really be pitching to be the default install (an option for the customer) on as many PCs as possible.

Push for partnerships with other hardware vendors  
Written by Veejay the 28 Feb 08 at 14:41. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. In development
Given the success (as far as I know) of your Dell partnership, please do everything possible to seek alliances with other vendors, as it will reinforce the idea that Ubuntu is a viable alternative to other operating systems and will provide better hardware support for current Ubuntu users.

Dell is offering new models based on Ubuntu (recently the XPS M1330 in a few countries), proof that the business model makes sense.

Developer comments
We have an active partnership program and are open to discussions with hardware vendors. See: http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/hardwareprogramme

Ubuntu needs to go green. Powertop, Lesswatts and other tools have finally hit the Linux scene to pave the way for better power management. It needs to be said, "if you want your battery to last longest, or have your energy bill be the lowest, you better use Ubuntu Linux."

Fix Suspend and Hibernate   forum
Written by tighem the 28 Feb 08 at 17:22. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Suspend and hibernate still seems to be a big issue based on forum posts. Really focus on fixing it, even with proprietary drivers.
