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)
