Kent Baxley has kindly assembled some screenshots of the 11.10 oem-config for Dell pre-loads:

As you can see, we already have a screen to configure the wireless network. All we need now is the U1 registration screen.
Maybe an checkbox and email field could be added to the user/password creation screen?
Also there's another session on: "Signing in to Ubuntu with Ubuntu One credentials".

There could probably be some type of coordination. Sadly both sessions are same day and time frame ;/ , but something could be done after.

Need for approval
- design, with appropriate input
- engineering resources
In scope for this release (if approved):
- Sign in to Ubuntu One
- ... nothing else :-/
Out of scope for this release (if approved):
- New user registration
- User account creation based on information from Ubuntu One
Potential problems:
- This adds an extra step to the installation process
- Is it really valuable if there is no way to do new user registration?
- marginally valuable and if there is no way to do new user registration, then it doesn't justify an extra step in the installer.
- What happens if you are not connected to the Internet at that time?
- This would be a conditional step in the installation process that isn't displayed when there is no network.
Work items:
[mpt] With Cristian Parrino (or delegate), produce a candidate design for Ubuntu One integration in Ubiquity/oem-setup
[gekker,Cristian] Close the loop on a full solution sign-in, sign-up, it doesn't make sense without both
[] Can ISD support a shortened version of U1 signup
