Mir Office Hours - 2026-08-26 15:15UTC

Notes

  • Review of action items from last time
    • The discussion on how to contribute docs spawned another discussion about Manpages in Debian from Mike.
  • 2.29 Release
    • Aiming for a monthly cadence. A week or so after the office hours.
    • Lots of deprecations.
  • Miriway 26.08
    • Builds with both new and legacy Mir
    • Snap moved to base: core26 and promoted to stable. No one complained about it, yet.
  • Rust Mir APIs
    • Coming soon to a Cargo repo near you!
    • Feedback is very much welcome. Anything we could make more idiomatic?
  • Marius: Using hardware layers with nested compositors?
    • Usecase: System compositor + Mir compositor
    • Should theoretically be supported, granted that both compositors support bypass, and the stars align.
    • Lomiri has a related case.
  • Marius: Would Mir be willing to accept more mobile-friendly protocols?
    • Alan: Depends on the protocol. Make an issue and we can take a look.

Action Items:

Saviq: publish the Mir roadmap in the docs (in review)
Matt: explore experimental miral APIs.

  • Not yet poked.
  • A scene graph may suffice what Matt wants. Let us know if you need more than that!
