🎙️ New Episode of Igalia Chats: Three Standards Bodies Walk In to a Bar
@bkardell@toot.cafe, @Meyerweb@mastodon.social and @ryzokuken@mastodon.social discuss ECMA, W3C, and WHATWG — how they work, how they differ, and how they continue to change over time.
RustWeek 2026 is happening in Utrecht, Netherlands, this week. Several Servo maintainers and TSC members are attending the event, including our colleague @simon@tutut.delire.party
Simon is one of the core people behind Servo’s layout and style system. If you're interested in Servo, say hi to Simon!
If you speak Portuguese and want to start contributing to the Linux kernel, Helen Koike will be giving a workshop next week to help you make your first contribution! https://campinas.mini.debconf.org/talks/13-envie-sua-primeira-contribuicao-ao-kernel-linux/
📍 Campinas, SP / Brazil
📅 Apr 23–25
📣 Linux 7.0 has been released
Once again, Igalians have contributed lots of work!
🚀 We've released Moonforge, a brand new fully open-source Linux distribution based on Yocto. We aim to provide a production-ready foundation for building embedded operating systems! Read more: https://www.igalia.com/2026/03/09/Introducing-Moonforge-A-Yocto-Based-Linux-OS.html
Tomorrow at Embedded World! Hall 4, Booth 4-443.
→ Moonforge, our new Yocto-based framework for production-ready embedded Linux — live OTA updates on RPi5 with RAUC and hawkBit

We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be working with Eurosky to help to define and develop open social web infrastructure! https://www.igalia.com/2026/03/18/Advancing-the-AT-Protocol-in-Partnership-with-Eurosky.html
RE: @tag@w3c.social
We would like to congratulate @Lukew@toot.wales on being appointed by the W3C TAG as an Associate! The Associate program (https://tag.w3.org/associates/) was launched a little over a year ago with the goal of helping to extend the TAG's ability to review and influence work.
@bkardell@toot.cafe and @Meyerweb@mastodon.social chat with Igalia's @ptomato@mstdn.ca, @nic@tech.lgbt and Bloomberg's Jason Williams about the JavaScript Temporal API.

Still going strong on Day 2 at #EmbeddedWorld! Lots of great conversations at booth 4-443 about our work on WPE WebKit, Vulkan drivers, and Moonforge — our new Yocto-based embedded OS launched this week. Come try the demos, including this VR experience running on our open source graphics stack!
That's a wrap on WASM.io Barcelona! Saúl Cabrera presented "Beyond Performance: 5 Years of Improving JavaScript on WebAssembly" — half a decade of deep work making JS faster inside Wasm runtimes. Great to connect with the WebAssembly community.

Last day at #EmbeddedWorld! Two days of great conversations at booth 4-443 about WPE WebKit, Vulkan drivers, Moonforge, and embedded open source — and the highlight is still ahead.
Today at 15:00: @mariospr@fosstodon.org presents "Web Engines for Embedded Devices: An Introduction to WPE WebKit" in track 5.15.
Come find us!
Igalians are out and about, participating in four events and presenting on a diverse set of topics this month. Come talk to us at any of these exciting events!
https://www.igalia.com/2026/03/05/March-Conference-News.html
How Node.js and V8 build, test and stay in sync with each other is a widely misunderstood topic.
To reduce the parroting, here's a blog post from our colleague Joyee from Igalia's Web Languages team about the workflows, challenges she sees and some hands-on tips https://joyeecheung.github.io/blog/2026/05/18/how-nodejs-and-v8-keep-each-other-working/
Our own @jdapena@mastodon.online will be on the ✨ SPDY STREAM Podcast ✨ with @henrihelvetica@webperf.social to discuss the new Container Timing API.
📆 Wed April 15th
⏰ 1pm EDT
🔗 YT: https://www.youtube.com/live/b4eMT6oCcOo
Great talk by @marga@hachyderm.io at #EmbeddedWorld on modern Yocto best practices. Key takeaway: reproducible builds require more than good intentions — kas, containerized environments, and pinned deps are the way forward. Slides coming soon!
New Igalia Chats episode 🎙️
We sat down with Bart Veneman of Project Wallace to dig into the study of CSS on the Web — how it's analyzed, what the data reveals, and why it matters.
🎧 Give it a listen: https://www.igalia.com/chats/project-wallace
Big progress on the path to Chrome‑free extensions: installation for zip, unpacked, and crx formats has been migrated into //extensions, making the platform more modular and easier for embedders to adopt. Our colleague Miyoung Shin explains https://blogs.igalia.com/mshin/2026/04/02/extension-migration-progress-update-part-1/
That’s a wrap on #EmbeddedWorld 2026! Three days at booth 4-443 — @marga@hachyderm.io on modern Yocto workflows, @mariospr@fosstodon.org on WPE WebKit, and plenty of good conversations. Thanks for stopping by. Slides coming soon!
Next week, many Igalians will be at BlinkOn 21 in Redmond (and online) to talk about some of the exciting work we've been doing in Chromium. Come chat with us about what's new, and read more about what to look out for over at https://www.igalia.com/2026/04/16/Igalia-at-BlinkOn-21 #blinkon21 #chromium
Our colleague @jalama@mathstodon.xyz will lead a hands-on tutorial in a few hours titled “Typescript, Meet Lean!” at FLOPS 2026 in Tsukuba, Japan.
We’ll build a little Scheme inside Lean, with proofs checking our work as we go: https://functional-logic.org/events/flops/2026/
