Now that Kubuntu is coming with KDE4, I suggest taking advantage of this new feature of KDE.

I suggest creating a Plasma widget that allows user post ideas and see most popular ones from his/her brand new Kubuntu Desktop. This is a way also to encourage people to contribute to our brainstorming. Please vote ;-)

Hi, I think that Ubuntu developers need to try and optimize the performance of the desktop in general other than making ubuntu faster to startup and shutdown.
If it is possible of course, I guess something more custom could be done with the kernel for speed.

One very important thing is that.. For some reason, I can't feel all of my 4 cores really working for performance, the system works as if I have like 1 core at a faster clock rate,
but that's about it.

Anyway, just my thought, the desktop should be more responsive, apps should open up faster (I've tried an iMac before, if you know what I'm talking about...)

One last thing, just as a sidenote: Is everyone thinking that nVidia actually Fixed the performance problems they have? Because I think that if they did, only little... And yeah, that's a major source of performance problem for the desktop, so... gotta talk to them nVidia devs to figure out what they do wrong.

The majority of the software used in many countries is pirated software. That is not good, because Free Software has to fight against "zero-cost" commercial software, and it's hard to win it.

This pirated software has got many problems (WGA, virus, Trojan horses, etc). Thus, to use pirated software is ilegal, so the campaign will benefit honest software developpers which want sell its software.

I propose a campaign to promote use original genuine free software: Ubuntu.

ATM - at least in KDE, I don't know how it is in GNOME, if there is a popup dialog with the possibilities Yes,No,Cancel, you just have the Shortcut Keys "Alt+[key]".
[key] in that case is the underlined letter.

I think it would be good to have additionally the possibility to answer with 'y' and 'n'

or - at least in dialogs where there is no other keyboard interaction possible - let me press JUST the underlined letter, without the Alt key, to speed up my workflow.

This of course should be systemwide, additionally to the normal hot keys, and standardized.
e.g.
y -> yes
n -> no
s -> save
ESC -> Cancel (already works in most of the dialogs)
