Ubuntu Core Brainstorm - Calling all Snappy pioneers
Ubuntu Core and snappy are Ubuntu's brave new world. A lot of ideas are going to be hatched, unlikely teams put together, pioneers to be made and low-hanging fruit harvested.
Let's get together and brainstorm - be open, be creative and let's note down ideas for::
1) nice tutorials,
2) good demo material,
3) potential communities to reach out to,
4) low-hanging fruit in terms of connecting communities/

Some ideas:
- (dpm) A wiki page listing the existing tools folks come up with, even if they are not production-ready (deb2snap, snappy-
- (dpm) A section on the porting guide listing the existing ports:
- OMAP4 Panda Board https:/
- Gumstix https:/
- Automation
- connect stuff easily to an rpi, measure stuff (voltage)
- design middlewares
- kits: groovekit (clock, motion sensor, relay, etc.)
- we already coap snap, but make it easier for app developers to say: "Let me write my Java app using the mbed coap Java libs and put that in a snap"
- Same for other protocols like MQT (mosquitto)
- security system
- like zoneminder
- integration with the phone
- offload workloads from phone to cloud
- have the nodejs server doing cool stuff for you in the backend
- enterprise appliances, when you need to setup an IDS, firewall, switch, router, etc.
- home automation, temp. based heating control, window shades with lux sensor, etc
- powerpc64
- The return of Ubuntu TV ! (settop boxes etc, kodi snap, mediagoblin snap...)
- game emulators
- steam
- bluetooth
- routing
- ubuntu firewall integration snap
Problems we currently have:
- Hard to consume the logs and find possible issues with apparmor (and missing libraries/binaries which might need bundling)
- Would be nice to have a nice interface showing the problems showing up at the system (like denials)
- Clearer communication that Core has "nothing to depend on"
- shell which simulates the environment of the app for debugging, etc.
Cool demo stuff
camlstore/owncloud
asac's webcam thing(?)
kodi/mediagoblin
mir - deb2snap
