Mir Plans In 13.10 Jono Bacon announces that Mir, Ubuntu’s new display server designed for fast, efficient, and extensible display across devices, is to be made default as XMir (an implementation of X on Mir) for users running open-source drivers in Ubuntu 13.10 along with Unity 7. He also mentions proprietary drivers will fall back to X in 13.10 but will get XMir support in 14.04 LTS, and he explains the decision is necessary to make Mir production-stable for 14.04 LTS. Bacon also answers users' possible questions. http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/06/27/mir-plans-in-13-10/

Mark Shuttleworth: Two weeks with Mir Mark Shuttleworth writes about his experience using Mir for the past two weeks. He notes that the system feels smoother using Mir, and that X and Compiz appear to be using less memory and fewer CPU cycles than when X was directly handling the hardware. He then goes on to discuss competition, the importance of making the Mir decision, and expresses his desire for other variants and distributions to consider Mir. http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1269
