WebKitGTK+ Hackfest: Day 2

After a late evening yesterday, the hackfest started a bit slower, but started picking up pace again with a big ticket item, the WebKit2 GTK+ API discussion. This was the destination for a lot of the WebKitGTK+ hackers, leaving us outsiders, well, outside. The discussion isn't quite finished.

This lead us onto a little lunchtime kick-about. The arrange 6 v. 6 game turned into a 5 v. 4 before getting to the ground, and finish as a 3 v. 4 when two of our most jet-lagged/backbroke hackers dropped out.

And then onto a lunch. And another late evening.

• Philippe fixed more bugs in WebKitGTK+'s fullscreen video playback mode
• Bob uploaded a new draft of his WebKitGTK+ cookbook
• Gustavo was playing Street Fighter whilst increasing the size of his farm on Facebook (in WebApp mode!)
• And the new buildbot is up, running, and churning through test suites in a loop, as fast as the hackers can add new code.

WebKitGTK+ Hackfest: Day 1, Afternoon

After num-num tapas for lunch (and some chocolatey cake), we got back to the agenda, with Jon presenting the design for the Web application, successor (in spirit, and perhaps in code) to Epiphany.

• Andy did the initial work on adding new language features to JavaScriptCore (let and const, as used heavily in gnome-shell)
• Martin and Gustavo worked on a way to automate running the WebKitGTK tests with test fonts, and are working on making all the tests automated, and reproduceable
• Philippe fixed fullscreen support in the HTML5 YouTube player
• Dan fixed the broken security status in Epiphany
• Carlos worked on the WebKit2 support for windowed plugins, and the WebKit side of favicons support
• Philippe, Martin and yours truly discussed sharing of fullscreen media controls (UI and behaviour) between WebKitGTK, Totem and Sushi, as well as a way to make fullscreening smoother.

I hear they didn't finish all the beers for Igalia's 10th anniversary party...
