"Miri" (the plural of mir) derives from the Russian for "world"; and "way" is for Wayland, a protocol used by graphical shells (not the craftsman in European folklore). Together these make Miriway: an easy way to leverage the Mir compositor engine to build Wayland based desktop environments. There are many components to a desktop environment: backgrounds, panels, launchers, onscreen keyboards, notifications, etc. Miriway provides a Wayland compositor (which handles the display, input and window management) leaving the rest to be configured.
In this talk, Alan Griffiths (Team Lead for Mir and Senior Engineer at Canonical) and Neal Gompa (Contributor to the Fedora project) describe the configuration options that Miriway offers and work through building a full desktop environment by incorporating components from one of the Fedora Spins.
