Third day of GUADEC already. And in Coru\u00f1a!<\/p>\n

\"Coru\u00f1a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a very special city for me.<\/p>\n

I came here in 1996 to study Computer Science. Here I discovered UNIX for the first time, and spent hours learning how to use it. It’s funny to see now those old UNIX servers being displayed in a small museum in the auditorium where the main track takes place.<\/p>\n

It was also here where I learnt about free software, installed my first Debian system<\/a>, helped creating the local LUG<\/a> and met the awesome people that founded Igalia<\/a> with me. Then we went international, but our headquarters and many of our people are still here so I guess we can still call this home.<\/p>\n

So, needless to say, we are very happy to have GUADEC here this time.<\/p>\n

I hope you all are enjoying the conference as much as we are. I’m quite satisfied with how it’s been going so far, the local team has done a good job organising everything and taking care of lots of details to make the life of all attendees easier. I especially want to stress all the effort put into the network<\/a> infrastructure<\/a>, one of the best that I remember in a GUADEC conference.<\/p>\n

At Igalia we’ve been very busy lately. We’re putting lots of effort in making WebKit<\/a> better, but our work is not limited to that. Our talks this year show some of the things we’ve been doing:<\/p>\n
