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.
