Adding i3 SIG link to the SIGs page?
by Jun Aruga 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hello i3 SIG! My name is Jun Aruga, a happy i3 user! I am happy to join this SIG now. By the way, I notice this SIG is not on the list of SIGs page [1]. Is it intentional? I think adding this SIG to the page might be good to let users know this SIG. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SIGs?rd=SIGs -- Jun | He - His - Him

Question about packages in i3 spin + including redshift
by Gautam Goel 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Hey guys, I'm really interested in this spin. I'm running the standard GNOME desktop now, but I've been looking to switch to i3 and this spin presents the perfect opportunity. I looked at the current list of packages to be included in this spin (https://pagure.io/i3-sig/Fedora-i3-Spin/blob/master/f/fedora-i3-common.ks#_…), and I have a few questions: First, can someone explain what "dex-autostart" and "gnome-keyring-pam" do? I googled around a bit, but couldn't really figure it out. Why are these programs included in the default install? If I understand correctly, azote and pavucontrol essentially provide graphical interfaces that replicate the functionality of simpler command-line programs like feh and alsamixer. Is that correct? Does brightlight work only on laptops, or also on desktops? On a separate note, perhaps you guys should consider including redshift (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Redshift), which is widely used by i3 users to help control the color temperature of their screens. A similar functionality is built into recent versions of GNOME, and I am a huge fan. Thanks, Gautam

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/
