= Ultimate Goal =
To build a solid multimedia editing distro based on Ubuntu-Gnome by Edgy+1
= Welcome to the Ubuntu Studio developer wiki! =
Line 9: Line 13:
= Get Involved =
 We need you! Come talk with us on #ubuntustudio on Freenode and look at our [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu_Studio-ProjectGoals "Project Goals"] page to see if you can help.
Ubuntu Studio is an official flavor of [[http://ubuntu.com|Ubuntu]], and the most widely used multimedia orientated [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux|GNU/Linux]] distribution in the world.

= NOTICE! =
 *Please try to sign your comments. Though, with the addition of concrete info, it isnt needed.
 *I plan on making this a kind of "Main Page" and as sections grow, giving them their own page. - C.Kontros
Ubuntu Studio is a community effort, targeted towards all skill levels, from beginner to pro, and aims to be easy to install and easy to use, as well as providing all the tools necessary for any type of media content creation.
Line 16: Line 17:
= Status =
Work has begun on sorting through the packages. The main work is currently being led by C.Kontros. We are using [http://reconstructor.aperantis.com Reconstructor] at the moment to do some test ISO builds and to discover the limitations of this application. Cory is effectively the lead unless anyone has any reasonable objection to this, as he has experience leading people and has enough spare time to handle it at the moment.
== What we do.. ==
Line 19: Line 19:
The plan at the moment is:
 * Multiple metapackages. ubuntustudio-desktop, ubuntustudio-desktop-settings, and ubuntustudio-artwork will be the base. Then on top that can be added: ubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-video and ubuntustudio-graphics, further divided if necessary. Perhaps divide each one by universe+main and multiverse, and that would be sufficient.
 * Use only packages in official Ubuntu repositories
 * Use the best kernel Edgy+1 provides.
 * Use Gnome
Input has come from LaserJock on the best approach to this process.
Our goal is to be an example on how to configure a [[http://debian.org|Debian]] and Ubuntu based operative system for our [[http://ubuntustudio.org/tour/|workflows]], contributing in bringing improvements upstream to Debian, and communicating with developers directly, by doing testing, fixing bugs and providing feedback.
Line 26: Line 21:
= Test Disks =
Heres the plan. Build test disks (Edgy based) every two weeks and seed them for one. This will start out VERY basic. These need to be used to figure out what does/doesnt work. What settings we need to include and how the environment feels.
We aim at being the gateway for new users coming into the Linux world, wanting to use Linux for multimedia content creation, by providing applications and documentation, as well as being a portal to other GNU/Linux and FLOSS communities in the world.
Line 29: Line 23:
The disk includes: ubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-ladspa-plugins and ubuntustudio-dssi

= Current Questions =

= Comments =
''-'' I will put a quotation of one of my sound engineer friend : "no matter what it looks, if you can work a day on, if it is fonctionnal, and if it sounds great". Do you think it is possible with Ubuntu (or Ubuntu Studio)? - ttoine[[BR]][[BR]]
''-'' One of the audio/video based live CD distributions, Dynebolic (I think), has openmosix built into the kernel. I haven't been able to try this out, but it is something I think would be very useful in mubuntu. For instance that would mean that I could install the mubuntu kernel package on the machine running mainstream Ubuntu upstairs in the living room and use it as a mubuntu cluster node without compromising its value as an entertainment centre etc. RobertPersson2[[BR]]
  ''--'' OpenMosix does not seem suitable for Linux 2.6 and therefore can't be used in Ubuntu Studio. - ["DanielTChen"]
