CC'ing ubuntu-devel so it's not a private conversation unnecessarily.

Can you explain a bit more on what kind of integration you have in mind?

I'm afraid there's very little, the reason is the usual one for
documentation, it's unfortunately work with lower priority than all the
other things we need to do.

AFAICT there's no plans to support Python as a developer language for
the platform, mostly because of resource considerations. Python (only
version 3), however, is available on the device today, so if Mycroft
became part of the platform, shipped on the devices, it'd need to be
packaged as a .deb with appropriate dependencies. Note that, without
knowing how you want to integrate, I can't comment on whether it's even
a possibility for the products.

We use Upstart today to handle our session jobs [1], so again, if
shipped on the device, a job like that would be easy to have.

Have you seen our scopes [2] infrastructure? Maybe this would be
something you could integrate with instead of "with Unity 8", which,
after all, is a graphical shell, it doesn't have many productivity
functions in and of itself.
