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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_center 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 [http://elisa.fluendo.com/ Elisa].

Contact

Either contact the [https://launchpad.net/~aquette Project Leader] or the [https://launchpad.net/~umc-team Launchpad UMC Team] to get in touch with us.
