Comment 11 for bug 104511

Giovani and all, I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and will upgrade to 8.10 in due course. According to Canonical:
 JMF has been requested for packaging and is assigned to the Ubuntu MOTU (Universe package administrators). Feel free to comment on this bug and mark it as affecting you.

I have largely circumvented my OpenOffice problem through the use of macros and bash scripts, so I have media capability as part of an Impress presentation. For the long-term, however, it'd be good to see JMF fully packaged by Ubuntu, binaries in repository, and available as part of the standard.
