August is traditionally the month most of Europe goes on holiday, and Igalia is no exception, so our conference schedule was a little light this month, except for one event sneaking in at the end. September is when things really kick into gear, as we’ll be at eight events around the world, with talks galore:

• AWE Asia, August 26–28 — Felipe Erias will be presenting “Augmented and Immersive Experiences on the Web”, a look at the challenges of taking the capabilities of each device and form factor into account, as well as also contending with the limited and fragmented nature of existing XR platforms on Tuesday, August 27th.
• Scheme 2024, September 2–7 — Andy Wingo will be keynoting this series at ICFP Milan with “Scheme on WebAssembly: It is happening!” on September 7.
• State of the Browser, September 14 — Stephanie Stimac will present “Funding the Web Ecosystem”, an examination of how we currently fund the web, why it’s a problem, and possible ways to fix it.
• IBC2024, September 13–16 — Miguel Gomez will present “Improving WPE’s graphics pipeline” on Monday, September 16. We’ll also be showing off WPE WebKit, maybe with a surprise or two, at our booth: Hall 5, 5.A55. In addition, we’ll have people attending the related RDK Global Summit on September 17.
• Open Source Summit Europe, September 16–18 — Max Ihlenfeldt will present “Stabilizing Chromium’s Wayland Support: Implementing and Testing Fallback Tab Dragging”, a dig into automated testing and protocol extensions within the Wayland compositor, on Monday September 16. And late-breaking news: Christian Gmeiner will be presenting “Mesa 3D unveiled: from glDrawArrays(…) to GPU magic”!
• Linux Plumbers, September 18–20 — There will be three talks presented by Igalians:
  • “Using sched_ext to improve frame rates on the SteamDeck” by Changwoo Min
  • “Dealing with GPU resets” by André Almeida
  • “Using DL servers for FIFO tasks starvation avoidance” by Thadeu Cascardo
  • In addition, André Almeida will be leading the “Graphics & DRM” micro-conference
• Kernel Recipes, September 23–25 — Two of our number will be in attendance, and we’re also official Supporters of the conference.
• TPAC, September 23–27 — The annual gathering of the W3C’s governing bodies, member institutions, working groups, and interested parties, where we’ll have quite a few attendees. Igalia is proud to be a Bronze Sponsor of TPAC and a contributor to the TPAC Inclusion Fund, and prouder still to be a member of the W3C.
• LinuxDay2024, September 28 — Christian Gmeiner will be presenting an encore of “Mesa 3D unveiled: from glDrawArrays(…) to GPU magic” at this free, one-day German-language event.

We always enjoy talking with people, so if you’ll also be at any of those events, please take a moment to flag one of us down and say hi! And if you have any questions regarding any of our appearances, are interested in having an Igalian bring a talk to an upcoming event, or you’d just like to learn more about Igalia, please feel free to reach out.
