It’s been more than 2 years since the last time I wrote something here, and in that time a lot of things happened. Among those, one of the main highlights was me moving back to Igalia ’s WebKit team , but this time I moved as part of Igalia’s support infrastructure to help with other types of tasks such as general coordination, team facilitation and project management, among…
A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of speaking at the 43rd International Conference on Software Engineering (aka ICSE 2021 ), in the context of its “Spanish Industry Case Studies” track . We were invited to give a high level overview of the Chromium project and how Igalia contributes to it upstream. This was an unusual chance to speak at a forum other than the usual conferences…
At the end of the last year I wrote a long blog post summarizing the main work I was involved with as part of Igalia’s Chromium team . In it I mentioned that a big chunk of my time was spent working on the migration to the new C++ Mojo types across the entire codebase of Chromium , in the context of the Onion Soup 2.0 project . For those of you who don’t know what Mojo is about, there…
Web Browsers and Test Driven Development Working on Web browsers development is not an easy feat but if there's something I'm personally very grateful for when it comes to collaborating with this kind of software projects, it is their testing infrastructure and the peace of mind that it provides me with when making changes on a daily basis. To help you understand the size of these projects, they…
It’s the end of December and it seems that yet another year has gone by, so I figured that I’d write an EOY update to summarize my main work at Igalia as part of our Chromium team , as my humble attempt to make up for the lack of posts in this blog during this year. I did quit a few things this year, but for the purpose of this blog post I’ll focus on what I consider the most…
It's been a few months already since I (re)joined Igalia as part of its Chromium team and I couldn't be happier about it: right since the very first day, I felt perfectly integrated as part of the team that I'd be part of and quickly started making my way through the -fully upstream- project that would keep me busy during the following months: the Chromium Servicification Project . But what is…
It’s almost one year later and, despite the acquisition by SmugMug a few months ago and the predictions from some people that it would mean me stopping from using Flickr & maintaining Frogr, here comes the new release of frogr 1.5 . Not many changes this time, but some of them hopefully still useful for some people, such as the empty initial state that is now shown when you don’t have…
Winds of Change . One of my favourite songs ever and one that comes to my mind now that me and my family are going through quite some important changes, once again. But let’s start from the beginning… A few years ago, back in January 2013, my family and me moved to the UK as the result of my decision to leave Igalia after almost 7 years in the company to embark ourselves in the…
It’s been a pretty hectic time during the past months for me here at Endless, busy with updating our desktop to the latest stable version of GNOME Shell (3.26, at the time the process started), among other things. And in all this excitement, it seems like I forgot to blog so I think this time I’ll keep it short for once, and simply link to a video I made a couple of months ago , right…
Another year goes by and, again, I feel the call to make one more release just before 2017 over, so here we are: frogr 1.4 is out! Yes, I know what you’re thinking: “Who uses Flickr in 2017 anyway?" . Well, as shocking as this might seem to you, it is apparently not just me who is using this small app, but also another 8,935 users out there issuing an average of 0.22 Queries Per Second…
