Idea #17462: There should be more ways of getting ideas and discussing 1 Comment
Something a really like is brainstorming about features that would make Ubuntu even more awesome. Even though we already have Brainstorm and there is a UDS twice a year, I think a monthly session with experts would be something very meaningful. Ideas get a lot better when you discuss them with a group.
I proposed two [...]
Idea #17084: Global writable directory 1 Comment
Something I find irritating is that my favourite MMORPG Regnum Online has to be ‘installed’ inside a directory inside my home directory because the client NEEDS to update the resources regularry, and for that, of course, my user needs writing permissions. However, if I want to let another user play it, I have to chmod [...]

What does it [...]
Idea #15961: (Try to) partner with the Dutch government Comment
Maybe you’ve already heard about the Dutch plans to make open standards almost mandatory for the (semi-)governmental organizations.
Although the regulation was already effective as from the first of April 2008, recently there have been some developments. Now the plans have been approved by the European Commission. Furthermore, the use of open standards is now even [...]
Idea #15442: Used hardware survey Comment
Lately I got more and more the feeling that hardware vendors are more and more extending their support for Linux.
However, it’s still far from perfect and not all companies have muche experience with interacting with the Linux community. Some companies still seem to be hestitant to be kind to Linux-users.
If we could show them that [...]
My wish for GNOME 3: better configuration tools 5 Comments
A while ago there was a meme at Planet GNOME about the wishes for GNOME 3. Although I don’t have any influence on this, I do also have things I’d like to see in the next major release of my favourite desktop environment. But there is one thing that bugs me the most: the tons [...]

Maybe you remember the two posts I made about the Ubuntu Wanted site. The idea now has got 83 votes and I’ve already created a blueprint. Now it is also being discussed at the ubuntu-website mailist. I’ve already got some responses, although I had hoped for more discussion. Here is a link to the archives: [...]
Idea: Integrate Harvest and Ohcount in Launchpad Comment
After I read an maillist entry from dholbach and the blog post it was pointing to(The Harvest Season has begun!) I thought again of an idea I already wanted to add to Brainstorm before, but never did. The idea was to integrate the program ohcount used at Ohloh to analyse projects.
Keeping your project in good [...]
Ubuntu Wanted Site – II Comment
I’ve already wrote about this idea a while ago. In the meantime some people told me they really liked it, but I was also told that it needs more details. I’m writing this post to update the idea and afterwards I’m going to create a Blueprint, because someone asked for that. This is however not [...]
Automatic system cleaning Comment

It’s about keeping track of your system and cleaning it every once in a while. All files that aren’t registered, except user data, will be removed. I’ve explained this quite detailed in the idea, so please read it to get a better idea of the idea.
I hope it can [...]
