Whiteboard

jdstrand> work carried over from https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/security-t-appisolation-sdk
jdstrand> appstore submissions: no signing, https verification, not charging, etc
jdstrand> as of 2014-06-17, global media collection, global calendar and global contacts will not be supported for RTM.
jdstrand> 'move hardware/ snippets to lxc-android-config (ie, finish LP: #1197133)' is blocked on phonedations. Per ogra on 2014-07-16, we should be "shipping them per device in the device tarball and bind mount[ing] them on boot"
