Matthew Kosarek
My name is Matt Kosarek and I am currently working at Canonical on the Mir compositor library. In my spare time, I'm writing a Mir-based compositor called miracle-wm, a tiling window manager much in the style if i3 and sway. I like all things Linux, especially in the graphics space. I live in Philadelphia, PA and I'm originally from New Jersey.
Session
Mir is a modern C++ library for writing Wayland compositors. The flagship compositor written in Mir is Ubuntu Frame, a minimal compositor for kiosks and other IoT devices. While this use case has historically been the focus of the project, work is quickly progressing to support compositors for traditional desktop environments as well. One such compositor is miracle-wm (or just "Miracle"), a tiling window manager written in C++ on top of Mir. As I've recently proposed Miracle as an official Fedora spin, I wanted to take this time to explore the current features of Miracle, as well as the underlying Mir library. This talk is for anyone interested in upcoming Wayland compositors or for anyone who might be interested in writing their next Wayland compositor using Mir!
