The video from our sync last week is (almost) up. It was our biggest one, yet!
https://youtu.be/23E6zzzUDoc
And some notes:
Mir 2.20 release is out, along with a 2.20.1 bugfix - Alan
Driven in a big way by Lomiri and LXQt
Saviq’s pet peeve is focus stealing prevention, available in miral-shell and Miriway; should force toolkits / apps to start using xdg-activation
Mirror Hall - Raffaele
Miriway 25.02 - Alan
Miracle - Matt
25.04 asks - Alan
Wayland protocols requested (listed above)
Neal:
ext-workspace only one missing for Budgie - xfce breaks otherwise
ext-capture to get on the wagon
DRM sync objects - in progress
Saviq: global shortcuts seem like a big gap
Neal Budgie has a draft proposal
Alan: you can add a custom protocol in a downstream
Neal: will restart cross-desktop-portal implementation based on standard Wayland extensions where applicable
Neal: openSUSE is picking up Mir as LXQt’s compositor
Saviq: visual Alt+Tab Switcher is a big one
Neal: global menu would be of interest
Neal & Matt: custom decorations - in progress
Simon:
lubuntu to switch to Mir next cycle
LxQT based on 2.20 now builds
Connecting everything up
Neal: just grab Fedora’s LXQt change - documented in F42 2.1 change proposal
Beginning of Q cycle will look at the patchset and try and merge
Alfred:
Lomiri 20.04 PPA now has Mir 2.20 building and Lomiri working on top
Drag’n’Drop issue to resolve, likely between miroil and QtMir
