Discussion:
- Authentication, sssd will/should move to main
- sssd works fine against AD, so might against samba, needs stability testing
- Collaboration between zentyal and edubuntu
- Unity 2D is being deprecated and Unity 3D will use LLVM on older hardware (will be slow)
- Multiseat, desktop team isn't committing to it, we're
- Ubiquity options for server, workstation, ltsp server, possibly radio buttons and then fine tuned options afterwards, get some guidance on how to present this to user
- For tablets, web apps rule, investigate flash support, Unity 3D, x2go application server on edubuntu
