​Hi Michael,

Ubuntu System Settings (USS) was actually designed for this purpose: allow
external software vendors to install *plugins*​

​that ​USS would display alongside the default plugins (VPN, Cellular, etc).

Currently, however, you need to get a debian package that installs the
correct files into Ubuntu's archive, which has some requirements. As USS
moves to provide System Settings for snappy-based systems, a new approach
is needed, which most likely will be .snap based. I'm afraid I don't know
more than that, though.

It's a great idea, just wanted to give you some background.

Best,
Jonas
