+    % talk about the difference between a desktop environment and a window manager:
+    % a desktop environment (like GNOME, KDE, Xfce) is a collection of
+    % programs, libraries (including a graphical toolkit) and configuration.
+    % it usually aims for a coherent look and feel and comes with a number of
+    % tools (g*, like gedit, geeqie, …)
+    % One of the programs of a DE is a window manager.

+% compare this to a screenshot of i3:
+% notice the little amount of toolbars.
+% notice the lack of fancy window decorations
+% notice the absence of a desktop.
+% instead, you get to use the full screen.

+\mslide{i3: history and features}{
+    \item started from scratch in february 2009
+    \item successor* to wmii, which we couldn’t hack
+    \item clean, readable, documented code. and documentation
+    \item proper multi-monitor support, utf-8 clean
+    \item fast and lightweight, aimed at power users
+}
+
+% live demo here, just like at FrOSCon
+% include: the docs, with the keyboard layout
+% include: the configuration file
+
+\mslide{Inter-process communication}{
+    \item UNIX socket, JSON for serialization
+    \item i3-msg (C), AnyEvent::I3 (Perl), i3-ipc (Ruby), i3ipc (Python)
+    \item send any command, like \texttt{floating enable}
+    \item receive events (like focus change)
+    \item access the layout tree (!)
+}
+
+% demo: change a workspace
+% demo: testsuite
+
+\mslide{Example workflows}{
+    \item Urgency hint
+    \item Scratchpad
+    \item Web development (browser, editor, syslog)
+    \item Coding (C): two editors (code, test), quickly opening docs
+}
+
+\mslide{i3 in numbers}{
+    \item 3149 commits by 39 different people
+    \item > 600 tickets (about 60 open)
+    \item about 10.000 SLOC (mostly C, a bit of Perl)
+    \item testsuite: > 1000 test instructions in 96 files
+    \item conservative guess of > 1000 users
+}
+
+\mslide{Thanks for your attention}{
+    \item See \url{http://www.i3wm.org/} for everything
