# GNOME Shell and Mutter meetings Meetings to discuss development of GNOME Shell, mutter and related components. Everyone is welcome to join. Bi-weekly on Fridays 1500-1600 hours (CET/CEST) on even weeks. Hosted on meet.gnome.org, usually at https://meet.gnome.org/seb-i1b-k40-dya. Check the [GNOME Shell matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#gnome-shell:gnome.org) for short notice changes. ## Agenda If there is anything you want to discuss, please add it with your name to the agenda of the next meeting. If there are no agenda items for a meeting, we usually fall back to reviewing, triaging and whatever else comes up. If you do not have access to edit this document, feel free to reach out on matrix to request a topic. ### October 31 * GNOME Shell testing, touch and gesture testing, jasmine testing framework * ### August 8 * Merge reques triaging for GNOME 49 ### July 22 * GUADEC "State of the Shell" talk ### May 16 * MetaMonitor/MetaLogicalMonitor persistence * Mutter + gsd backlight APIs * X11 removal ### January 10 * Discussed fullscreen on attached dialogs - Should it be allowed? Currently the color calibration dialog fullscreens itself, and would have to either stop being attached, or open a third non-attached dialog to work - Fullscreening a modal dialog currently results in a window not closable from the overview - It doesn't currently work on X11 - How to reproduce: gtk4-demo -> Video Player -> Fullscreen - gtk4-demo can't unfullscreen itself (except maybe with some easter egg key combo), which should be fixed independently - Either allow it on both X11 and Wayland, or on none. Allowing might need to still show some close dialog in the shell overview, disallowing ### December 13 * gnomedisplayctl / gdctl tool naming conventions * global shortcuts status * making ClutterText optional * cogl vk backend * keybinding refactoring ### October 4 * wayland-protocols governance discussion * reviewing/triaging old mutter and shell MRs ### September 20 * Startup notification, moving forward: - Mutter could use knowledge of "apps" (e.g. to lookup the entry in the desktop file) - Move shell-app-system.c, shell-app.c, shell-app-cache.c, shell-window-tracker.c functionality related to app tracking to mutter (while changing the architecture a bit) - Launch context control in the shell, but launching and abstracting in mutter - Don't want StIcon in mutter, just an icon abstraction, e.g. GIcon - Something in gnome-shell that turns that into the icon actor, either some ShellApp wrapper, or some actor that takes an `Meta.App` - For extension compatibility, might want to poke at the mutter introspected class prototype to add things they expect, as well as the current API they use to find the app * Branching 47 - Florian wants our toolbox image to be based on f41 before branching - might branch sooner than usual (before the 47.1 release) ### August 30 * Preparing for the 47.rc release ### August 23 (canceled) * MR review for the RC: mutter!1441 (proposed by Michel, though I normally can't make the meeting timeslot) ### August 9 * Scroll speed - Discrete mouse scroll should probably not affect the number of discrete axis events, but could perhaps affect the "logical pixel" axis distance - Perhaps it should be tied to mouse speed for touch pads, but that might be disruptive - Carlos to write a comment * Session management - Probably hard to get the protocol upstream ready in time for GNOME 47, so might consider xx_ prefixed hidden behind a DebugControl flag. * Color management - Already close to RC, decided to focus on three MRs: preparatory plumbing (mostly done), experimental Wayland protocol, output brightness tweakability (in a branch, close to ready to be proposed). Further advancements should target GNOME 48. ### July 12 * State of the Shell GUADEC talk * Scroll speed (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1840) ### Jun 28 * GNOME 47 alpha and 46 backports ### Jun 14 * Xwayland scaling ### May 31 * Display Hackfest Next review (for real this time) * xdg-toplevel-icon ### May 17 * Display Hackfest Next review * Shell newcomer docs (https://hedgedoc.gnome.org/v7zYtr17QceI8CUl33LnIg?view) * Tiling functionality ideas for funding from Sonny and Thibault
