I'm an intermediate developer with a few small contributes to my name. My goal in using ubuntu is to completely wean myself from any proprietary software. As I'm currently using a mac for my desktop this will probably be more difficult than a windows switch.
<BR> <BR> I guess I'd like to generate a list of things that either stop me from switching, or projects that I find interesting. This is not meant as a todo list for developers or anything as arroagant as that but more of a list of blockers and things I'd like to see for my own personal benefit or for the purpose of indicating stuff I'd like to work on. <BR> <BR> =Switch blockers=; * Broadcom Drivers [http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/] * Griffin RadioShark Drivers * A more Usable Gimp * Liferea general stability and usability improvements * Treo 650 synchronization with evolution * dvdauthor progress (Development has stalled) * qdm2 codec
<BR>
<BR> =Projects That I'd like to see or see better integrated=; ===These products should be tightly integrated similar to the create projects initiative===;
==LinLife==; * QDVDAuthor [http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net/] * DVDStyler [http://dvdstyler.sourceforge.net/] * Polidori [http://polidori.sourceforge.net/] * Kino [http://www.kinodv.org/] * Diva [http://diva.mdk.org.pl/] * BEAST [http://beast.gtk.org/]
<BR> <BR> ==Pro Suite== * Rosegarden [http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/] * Cinelerra [http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3] * Blender [http://www.blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html] * K-3d [http://k3d.sourceforge.net/] * JahShaka [http://www.jahshaka.org/]
<BR> <BR> ==Other software I'd like to see== * Some sort of home design software similar to commercial windows offerings * Roadster * Archive.org/gutenberg browser --I'm very interested in working on this if anyone needs help I'd be glad to pitch in
