Need mailing list

• Need to file a sysadmin bugzilla 

Linux Install Fest 2nd week of October

• Need handout with GNOME info for Install Fest 
• Carlos might give a speech on campus at UPB 
• Ubuntu vs. Fedora (sounds like Ubuntu is the best option for now since people already use it) 

Action Items

Extensions

• Need to talk to core developers about extensions/implementing extension functionality (ex. GNOME weather w/ weather indicator) 
• Get the design team to give guidelines for extension developers 
• Give "do's" and "don'ts" since currently there isn't enough information on how to support extensions (esp. common use cases like indicators, status-menu-panels) 
• Create a wiki page for extensions and extension community stuff 
• Currently it's hard to find information about it or about how to get in contact 
• Ask Bastian and Carlos where it makes sense to have this wiki since it can be used to get newcomers 
• Extensions are an easy way to get into shell programming 
• Want people to follow our guidelines as a helping hand and to encourage best practices 
• Would be nice to establish a mailing list for extensions #gnome-shell 
• Mario will be more involved mid-october / early november 

Action Items

• @Mario request a mailing list by filing a sysadmin bugzilla 
• Create a wiki 
• Add information to newcomers page
