First Swami Release with two Modules

October 24, 2015

At the start of the week I announced that work had begun on Moksha’s new control panel we are calling Swami. Today I am happy to share that the first two modules for Swami are ready for alpha testing:

Bodhi users can install this pre-release of Swami by performing all of their system updates and then running the command:

sudo apt-get install swami-control

Non-Bodhi users can test it by obtaining the source code from GitHub.

Because Swami will be modular in nature I will likely be posting more updates like this asking for testers as modules are completed. The base list of modules I hope to complete before the 3.2.0 release next spring are:

Theme
Wallpaper
Module Loading
Gadget Placement
Ecomorph
places
ibar settings
startup / restart applications
window focus settings
menu settings
power management
profile selection
Date and Time
User Management
Light DM settings
Screen Resolution
Key / mouse / edge / acpi bindings
Keyboard layout

If you have feedback to provide on Swami or ideas for improvement please leave them in this thread on our user forums.
