Workshop, get your hands dirty

Kevin can show you how to get started in writing your own libsolid backend. A mini-hackfest for that could be nice. Put your name in front of a backend to adopt it:

  • Alsa
  • BlueZ
  • fstab/mtab, network shares only
  • UDev, for "other" devices (camera, mediaplayer, etc.) (Dario: I can help in the creation, but I'd like somebody else to step up as a maintainer)
  • UDisks
  • UPnP (Paulo, Friedrich)
  • UPower (Dario)
