They use and contribute to a lot of base Linux development components written in rust, including: > Smithay: A wayland compositor library https://github.com/Smithay/smithay > Iced: A GUI library https://github.com/iced-rs/iced > WGPU: A graphics library https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu > ZBus: A rust D-Bus crate https://github.com/dbus2/zbus > > I have been closely following its development and I am even dipping my toes in rust for the first time to help contribute to its development. > > I happen to enjoy Fedora quite a bit, and I use Silverblue on my main machine myself, but in order to try COSMIC in its current state (and to create a test environment for my code changes) I started creating Fedora atomic images with the COSMIC desktop environment installed (see: https://github.com/ryanabx/fedora-cosmic-atomic). The image is very primitive, and simply compiles COSMIC components and puts the files where they need to be in their various directories, no RPM packaging involved at this phase. > > I would like to gauge interest in creating a COSMIC SIG for Fedora.

This sounds great! > If there is enough interest, I would suggest we then create a matrix group, similar to what the Fedora KDE SIG has. I believe the KDE SIG uses an IRC bridge as well, for those interested in using IRC. We do not use IRC for Fedora KDE at all. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
