LXQt SIG

Mission

The LXQt SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group of Fedora contributors that contribute towards LXQt in Fedora. Their mission is to define a high-quality LXQt experience to Fedora users and developers in maintaining packages, documentation, infrastructure and helping each other in all LXQt related efforts.

Fedora LXQt Spin

Raphael Groner initiated the effort to create a Fedora LXQt spin (A installable Live CD) for Fedora and above releases. It is now maintained collectively by the LXQt SIG. The idea was forked from the LXDE_SIG.

• Fedora LXDE Spin

Suggested applications

Here is a list with suggestions of packages to include in the spin.

1. at least one application for each main purpose a desktop environment is used

2. must fit to the requirements LXQt tries to achieve

3. already packaged in Fedora

How you can help

If you have no idea how to help us with providing a good and qualitative excellent release of LXQt in Fedora here are some proposals where we need help:

• Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged for Fedora. Package it to improve the user experience.
• Reviewers: Only a few persons are doing the LXQt-related reviews. Help us reviewing so that more packages could be included.
• Testers: If you love LXQt use the development version or the updates-testing repository and report bugs, bugs, bugs, request enhancements or features. We need your feedback to improve LXDE.
• Bugs: Become a BugZapper and help us with LXQt related bugs.
