Wanted: Fedora Magazine article
by Ben Cotton 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Hi i3 SIG, The Fedora Magazine team was talking about possible upcoming articles and I thought the i3 Spin would make for a great article. The "Getting started with the i3 tiling window manager" article[1] from 2016 is the most viewed article of all time, so a post about having the spin available would be great. We could run it any time after the Beta release, but it might be best to do it after the GA (so late April or early May). If someone is willing to work on that, please submit a pitch[2] [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/getting-started-i3-window-manager/ [2] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-magazine/writing-a-pitch/

i3 Spin staging site now available
by Justin W. Flory 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hi all, Ben Cotton built a preview of the i3 Spin website that will be used for Fedora 34. We need to include descriptions of the apps we will ship; currently, what is shown is for the LXQt desktop. https://spins.stg.fedoraproject.org/i3/ Alternatively, we can also opt to not have any applications shown, but I think it would be cool to show what we're shipping here. We will need some hands to help us out with drafting the text to go on the site. More details in the fedora-websites ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-websites/issue/1056 -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory (he/him) https://jwf.io TZ=America/New_York

Hello!
by Ken Gilmer 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hi Fedora i3 SIG, I work on a desktop environment project called Regolith[1] which currently supports Ubuntu-based systems. We have an open issue[2] for porting our desktop environment to Fedora and a user noted the existence of this project and suggested maybe we could work together. I clicked around a bit in your project pages but did not find much in the way of concrete details. Things that I am interested in, and may be topics for discussion: 1. How do you intend to handle the "desktop environment" stuff (Set screen resolution, sound output, user locale, etc.)? 2. How do you intend to create your package dependency graph? From the 2 or so years I've worked on this project, I think a big design challenge is how to allow for users to modify and extend their desktop in such a way that updates over time do not break user configurations but still allow the freedom to make changes under the hood. I am working on a design for decomposition of an i3 config file into conf.d style partials[3]. I'd also be curious as to what insights you may have here. Currently I am working on breaking the package topology of Regolith to allow for easier porting to package formats such as RPM and host operating systems such as Debian, and potentially also entirely different desktop systems such as Wayland/Sway. Kind regards, ken ~~~ 1: https://regolith-linux.org 2: https://github.com/regolith-linux/regolith-desktop/issues/26#issuecomment-7… 3: https://github.com/regolith-linux/regolith-system/wiki/i3-Config-Partials
