Announcing a New Edition of the Web Engines Hackfest

Another year, another Web Engines Hackfest. Following the tradition that started back in 2009, Igalia is arranging a new edition of the Web Engines Hackfest that will happen in A Coruña from Monday, 2nd October, to Wednesday, 4th October.

The hackfest is a gathering of participants from the different parts of the open web platform community, working on projects like Chromium/Blink, WebKit, Gecko, Servo, V8, JSC, SpiderMonkey, Chakra, etc. The main focus of the event is to increase collaboration between the different browsers implementors by working together for a few days. On top of that, we arrange a few talks about some interesting topics which the hackfest attendees are working on, and also arrange breakout sessions for in-depth discussions.
