Ubuntu Brainstorm Top 10 for December 2010

"As I mentioned recently, the Ubuntu Technical Board is reviewing the most popular topics in Ubuntu Brainstorm and coordinating official responses on behalf of the project. This means that the most popular topics on Ubuntu Brainstorm receive expert answers from the people working in these areas.

"This is the first batch, and we plan to repeat this process each quarter. We'll use feedback and experiences from this run to improve it for next time, so let us know what you think.

"Power management (idea #24782)

"Laptops are now outselling desktops globally, and laptop owners want to get the most out of their expensive and heavy batteries. So it's no surprise that people are wondering about improved power management in Ubuntu. This is a complex topic which spans the Linux software stack, and certainly isn't an issue which will be "solved" in the foreseeable future, but we see a lot of good work being done in this area."
