Egmde: Wayland reboot
Some time ago I started writing some articles about how easy it is to write a shell based on MirAL. With subsequent events that work has been neglected. But with the recent release of MirAL 2.0 in Mir 0.31 I decided to update the code that accompanied these articles.

EGMDE: The Example Mir Desktop Environment
We've known that Mir developers have been trying to get a Mir example desktop session going in time for Ubuntu 18.04. More details on that are now coming to light as we meet the EGMDE desktop environment.
Canonical's Alan Griffiths has been working on EGMDE to demonstrate the ease of being able to write a desktop shell based on MirAL, Mir's abstraction layer. EGMDE is the renewed effort based on Mir 0.31 and MirAL 2.0. EGMDE is short for the Example Mir Desktop Environment.

A Proof-of-Concept Vulkan Window Compositor Is In the Works
With Vulkan 1.1 it should be possible to write a pure Vulkan Wayland compositor while a Phoronix reader has tipped us off to a developer starting work on a proof-of-concept Vulkan window compositor.
The simply named VulkanCompositor is working on implementing a window compositor simply using Vulkan and GLFW, though at least for now isn't yet implementing Wayland. The project has just begun but is seeing work on GitHub by developer Ilya Glushchenko.

Broadcom VC5 DRM Driver Might Make Use Of AMDGPU's Scheduler
Eric Anholt of Broadcom is looking at making use of the AMDGPU DRM scheduler within the VC5 direct rendering manager driver.
In Linux 4.16, the AMDGPU scheduler code was punted off into a common area of the DRM subsystem due to interest stemming from the Etnaviv team in making use of this "marvelous" scheduler in their own driver. With Linux 4.17, Etnaviv is indeed making use of the AMDGPU scheduler that also is now known as just "drm/scheduler" after being generalized for use by other DRM drivers.
