Bug#904305: ITP: mir -- Linux display server focused on efficiency



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: tsimonq2@ubuntu.com

* Package name    : mir
  Version         : 0.32.1
  Upstream Author : Canonical Ltd.
* URL             : https://mir-server.io
* License         : GPL-2+
  Programming Lang: C, C++
  Description     : Linux display server focused on efficiency

This is the first step in two long-term plans that I am helping UBports
and the Mir Team pursue.

Eventually, the goal is to upstream Mir to Debian and do most of the
packaging work here, under the umbrella of a Debian Mir [Server] Team,
which is founded on the acceptance of this package into Debian.

With the UBports team, I also plan to upstream Unity 8 to Debian, to
keep it modern and usable on the desktop. This is to keep maintenance in
Ubuntu easier, and allow Unity 8 to be accessible to a wider audience.

Please note that I am not currently employed at Canonical, and I am
simply doing this as an individual who is interested in assisting the
development of the Unity 8 and Mir(-based) projects on the desktop,
nothing more. I plan on staying on the Debian Mir [Server] Team once
founded and helping as needed. UBports will have its own Debian team, to
work on the maintenance of Unity 8. Help in both of these teams is
absolutely welcome, assuming you have the skills required.
