Introduction
This Team works on making the Ubuntu Media Center dream come true.
For a good definition of a Media Center, have a look at Wikipedia.
The main tasks of this Team are:
- Federate all Ubuntu and upstream forces interested in the subject and create a Development Community.
- Sum up the state of media center artwork and select a base software.
Specify the functions and the look & feel of the Ubuntu Media Center.
- Create the needed resources (graphical and textual components) and plugins.
- Package and maintain everything needed for an Ubuntu Media Center.
- Create a specific distribution for UMC installation.
- Maintain and improve the results.
- Work closely with upstreams (Elisa, Debian, LIRC, etc.).
The Ubuntu Media Center will be both suited for desktop usage and operation as a dedicated appliance.
The base software that will be used is Elisa.
