Tooting again for the general public:

The team behind wlroots is fundraising for a hackathon to get everyone together to work on it, and we'd appreciate your support! wlroots is a library used by many Wayland compositors, most notably Sway, Way Cooler, and Waymonad, which help i3, AwesomeWM, and Xmonad users transition to Wayland for better performance+battery life+security+features.

Please consider supporting us!

Holy crap we did it! The hackathon fundraiser reached the $1500 goal in 9 hours! Thank you, everyone! Keep sharing it with your friends - if we hit $2,000 we can bring out a 4th developer!
Thank you so much!
