So I missed DemoCamp Montreal again, though JP had invited me… 🙁 I was busy spreading some Ubuntu love elsewhere (more on that later).
It seems he found BumpTop to be really nice. I remember seeing a demo about this some time ago, not sure where (online). They’re actually implementing it and hiring to ge it done. Come on! You know you want this running on Ubuntu 🙂 Can’t we sneak someone in there ?
There is also Lowfat, which is/will be open source.

You can try to compile and run the git code.
I came across lowfat at the time I found about BumTop too…! Had completedly forgotten about it. Thanks for the link!
Looks awesome! Both Lowfat and Bumptop look like great next-gen desktop replacements. Would LOVE to see one (the other, or both) enter Ubuntu! Both seem to have similar actions and ability. Bumptop seems to be a bit further along in development but Lowfat looks to be a worthy open-source version.
