Frameworks extend the functionality of Snappy Ubuntu Core systems in a vary practical way. Let's discuss how we can bring more services to Snappy Ubuntu Core.

In this session we’ll show a prototype of a tool to install GUI apps packaged as snaps on the current phone and desktop images, and we’ll discuss what steps are needed to fully transition phone and desktop applications to snaps.

node.js was updated to 4.0, having support on all our architectures. investigate how to get node.js and libv8 in sync, and how to maintain it for the timespan of an LTS release. The reason is that we are patching a lot of packages in main building some javascript enabled documentation to avoid build dependencies on universe packages.

Python 2.7 should not be shipped anymore by default. There is progress to make the desktop image Python 2.7 free, but a few packages remain. The situation for the other images should be evaluated as well. Python 3.5 will be the only Python3 version included in 16.04. Some work is still required to reach this goal.

Ubuntu should support updating firmware for systems and components; we should also further define the behavior for EFI fallbacks.

In this session we want your feedback on your Snappy and Snapcraft onboarding experience: - How were you welcomed into the world of Snappy? Was the documentation sufficient? Were you able to find your way around? - We are planning some changes to the documentation and would like to present them and get feedback. - If you are a device builder, we would specifically like to get your input as well, so we can improve our device builder documentation.

In this session we want to figure out how the Snappy developer community can interact and get support, particularly: - support of askubuntu/stackoverflow - which G+ communities/Twitter/etc to use - which presentation and workshop materials we want to create and share - how we can support people who want to represent Snappy Ubuntu Core at events/hackathons/workshops

With hardware becoming cheaper (ie Raspberry Pi, etc.) a number of apps and appliances were built, which are very popular today. It'd be great if it was easy for app developers to bring their apps to Snappy Ubuntu Core as well. Let's figure out how developers can port them over and we can get feedback about what should be easier.
