I was thinking we can show some Amarok 2.0 conceptual designs in a slideshow
to display at the KDE booth. I can arrange this, using my own laptop
probably, just need some mockups. Would the assembly of the slideshow be a
good action item for the rockymoters?

===try to bring Amarok Live to the average Windows user===
> > *Amarok Live is a top priority for roKymotion atm
> > *get it on CDs delivered with PC magazines
> > **"see what you can get with the upcoming KDE port to Windows"
> > *spread it at expos and similar events
> >
> > ===cooperate with artists===
> > *maybe spreading Amarok Live with their music
> > *What does it offer the artist?
> > *search for bands on MySpace
> > *maybe the same for labels?

> > ===last.fm article===

> >     VMware Player

> This is a great idea, it's a shortcut to Amarok on windows before 2.0.

> ==Development==

> > *Windows players are said to be really stable
> > *Amarok still has problems in that area
> > *maybe we should focus on critical and crash bugs for one release?
>

> Stability and speed release ++. But I feel guilty that I can probably not
> help much with that, free time is a scarce commodity.

> ===features===
> > *look for useful features in other players
