The Hackfest


The 2014 Web Engines Hackfest took place in A Coruña, Spain from Sunday, December 7th to Wednesday, December 10th. Igalia has been organizing and hosting the "WebKitGTK+ Hackfest" every year since 2009, but this year we arranged a more inclusive event.


Who is attending?
  • This is a hacking oriented invitation-only event.

  • The event involved members from all parts of the Web Platform community, including those who work on Blink, WebKit, Gecko, and Servo.

  • Check the list of confirmed attendees for more details.


Topics and agenda
  • Topics of interest include: WebKit ports, performance, graphics architecture, CSS (Grid Layout, Multi-column, Regions, etc.), multimedia, WebRTC, MathML, ES6 features (V8, JSC and SpiderMonkey), and Wayland support.

  • The event has an unconference format and the first step is the creation of small focused teams. Attendees should feel free to propose any topic which interests them.


2014 Edition
  • This year we organized a few talks together with several breakout sessions about different web technologies.

    You can find the slides and more information at the hackfest's wiki page.

Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior

Try not to become defensive when someone takes issue with something you say or do, in relation to the code of conduct. Simply apologize and stop doing whatever it is that caused the discomfort, even if you feel that you are wrongly accused. We are all responsible for building and maintaining a comfortable and safe environment. Continued or severe breaches of the code of conduct should be reported to the Igalia anti-harassment committee, event organizers, the Igalia assembly, or the Igalia partners. When you are one of these people, it is your responsibility to respond properly to a breach of the code of conduct.

People who breach the code of conduct may be asked to leave an event, take a break from mailing lists or chat, or even banned from future events in the case of severe breaches.
