qyliss: I'm finally done with exams. What would be the best way for me to contribute to Spectrum? (perhaps working on the Wayland proxy you suggested?)
<aaronjanse>
Actually I don't know what the Wayland thing would be. I'm willing to work on whatever
<qyliss>
aaronjanse: hey! what are your skills? You obviously know Nix. Do you know Rust or C?
<aaronjanse>
I barely know C, but I'm very familiar with Rust :-)
<aaronjanse>
My github profile probably best explains what I'm familiar with
<aaronjanse>
But I'm also motivated to learn new things, ofc
<qyliss>
alrightly, let's have a look at my todo list
<qyliss>
how much time do you have available? are you looking to just help out with fixes, or would you be interested in taking on a whole project? (sounds like maybe the latter, since you asked about the wayland proxy?)
<aaronjanse>
I'm willing to take on a whole project. It's hard to estimate how much time I have available, but probably 5 - 15 hrs/week?
<qyliss>
cool, okay
<qyliss>
I just did a lot of Rust stuff, which is a bit of a shame
<qyliss>
but there are two things that come to mind
<qyliss>
one is a CLI for starting VMs, and the other is the Wayland proxy
<qyliss>
I think the Wayland proxy would work best, because the CLI requirements are a bit up in the air, and also it's sort of boring
<MichaelRaskin>
Writing a CLI wrapper with no requirements and underlying code in flux is not always boring. But also usually not a good kind of exciting
<philipp>
lol
<qyliss>
aaronjanse: know anything about Wayland so far?
<aaronjanse>
I think I know the basics (why it replaces X11, running graphical stuff without root, basic isolation between windows). I've also (re-)read the Qubes-lite blog post at least a dozen times so far. My understanding is that sommelier lets a VM communicate with the host, then we'd build something on the host to accept these connections then do stuff like maybe adding borders to windows
<qyliss>
okay, cool :)
<qyliss>
it's late here, and tomorrow I'm speaking at a conference, but tomorrow or the next day I'll try to write down a bit about what the Wayland proxy should do, and what we've been thinking about how it could work
<aaronjanse>
Awesome. Good luck at the conference!
<qyliss>
thanks :)
<qyliss>
aaronjanse: are you subscribed to the mailing lists?
<aaronjanse>
Not yet!
<aaronjanse>
I'll subscribe tonight
<qyliss>
well, up to you, because I'll CC you directly as well (give me an email address?)
<aaronjanse>
aaron@ajanse.me would be great
<qyliss>
great :)
<qyliss>
in the mean time, if you want, you could read a bit about the Wayland protocol
