BoF agenda and discussion

* Not every user wants to use the same plugins, and some people don't want to use any plugins at all (most of them are buggy as hell), so using apt is not always the best solution. --JanClaeys

* Not to mention that the more popular ones (java, flash, qt) aren't available in the main repositories (i.e., you have to add non-free or 3rd-party repos). --MattKirchhoff2
