## Topic 1/2: The i3 Window Manager—experiences of a new user

**Speaker:** Giovanni Moretti
Do you keep losing windows and seem to be forever resizing windows on a large monitor? Those points were frustrating me so, about six weeks ago, I decided to try a tiling window manager (i3wm) combined with Ubuntu Mate. In this talk I’ll be covering my experiences in learning to use i3 and adapting it as a new user.

## Topic 2/2: Haiku Live Demo

**Speaker:** Brendon Green

> BeOS inspired
> Not Linux nor BSD
> Haiku Beta Five
