Rego’s Everyday Life

A blog about my work at Igalia.

Igalia at TPAC 2018

Just a quick update before boarding to Lyon for TPAC 2018. This year 12 igalians will be at TPAC, 10 employees (Álex García Castro, Daniel Ehrenberg, Javier Fernández, Joanmarie Diggs, Martin Robinson, Rob Buis, Sergio Villar, Thibault Saunier and myself) and 2 coding experience students (Oriol Brufau and Sven Sauleau). We will represent Igalia in the different working groups and breakout sessions.

On top of that Igalia will have a booth in the solutions showcase where we’ll have a few demos of our last developments like: WebRTC, MSE, CSS Grid Layout, CSS Box Alignment, MathML, etc. Showing them in some low-end boards like the Raspebrry Pi using WPE an optimized WebKit port for embedded platforms.

Thread by W3C Developers announcing my talk.

In my personal case I’ll be attending the CSS Working Group (CSSWG) and Houdini Task Force meetings to follow the work Igalia has been doing on the implementation of different standards. In addition, I’ll be giving a talk about how to contribute to the evolution of CSS on the W3C Developer Meetup that happens on Monday. I’ll try to explain how easy is nowadays to provide feedback to the CSSWG and have some influence on the different specifications.

Tweet by Daniel Ehrenberg about the Web Platform position.

Last but not least, Igalia Web Platform Team is hiring, we’re looking for people willing to work on web standards from the implementation on the different browser engines, to the discussions with the standard bodies or the definition of test suites. If you’re attending TPAC and you want to work on a flat company focused on free software development, probably you are a good candidate to join us. Read the position announcement and don’t hesitate to talk to any of us there about that.

See you at TPAC tomorrow!
