% talk about the difference between a desktop environment and a window manager:
% a desktop environment (like GNOME, KDE, Xfce) is a collection of
% programs, libraries (including a graphical toolkit) and configuration.
% it usually aims for a coherent look and feel and comes with a number of
% tools (g*, like gedit, geeqie, …)
% One of the programs of a DE is a window manager.

% compare this to a screenshot of i3:
% notice the little amount of toolbars.
% notice the lack of fancy window decorations
% notice the absence of a desktop.
% instead, you get to use the full screen.

\item started from scratch in february 2009
\item successor* to wmii, which we couldnt hack
\item clean, readable, documented code. and documentation
\item proper multi-monitor support, utf-8 clean
\item fast and lightweight, aimed at power users
}
% live demo here, just like at FrOSCon
% include: the docs, with the keyboard layout
% include: the configuration file
\mslide{Inter-process communication}{
\item UNIX socket, JSON for serialization
\item i3-msg (C), AnyEvent::I3 (Perl), i3-ipc (Ruby), i3ipc (Python)
\item send any command, like \texttt{floating enable}
\item receive events (like focus change)
\item access the layout tree (!)
}
% demo: change a workspace
% demo: testsuite
\mslide{Example workflows}{
\item Urgency hint
\item Scratchpad
\item Web development (browser, editor, syslog)
\item Coding (C): two editors (code, test), quickly opening docs
}
\mslide{i3 in numbers}{
\item 3149 commits by 39 different people
\item > 600 tickets (about 60 open)
\item about 10.000 SLOC (mostly C, a bit of Perl)
\item testsuite: > 1000 test instructions in 96 files
\item conservative guess of > 1000 users
