[webkit-dev] FOSDEM 2015 Desktops DevRoom Call for Talks
Hello, --8--- FOSDEM http://www.fosdem.org is one of the largest gatherings of Free Software contributors in the world and happens each February in Brussels (Belgium). One of the tracks will be the Desktops DevRoom (formerly known as “CrossDesktop DevRoom”), which will host Desktop-related talks. We are now inviting proposals for talks about Free/Libre/Open-source Software on the topics of Desktop development, Desktop applications and interoperability amongst Desktop Environments. This is a unique opportunity to show novel ideas and developments to a wide technical audience. Topics accepted include, but are not limited to: Enlightenment, Gnome, KDE, Unity, XFCE, LXQt, Windows, Mac OS X, software development for the desktop, general desktop matters, applications that enhance desktops and web (when related to desktop). Talks can be very specific, such as the advantages/disadvantages of development with Qt on Wayland over X11/Mir; or as general as predictions for the fusion of Desktop and web in 5 years time. Topics that are of interest to the users and developers of all desktop environments are especially welcome. The FOSDEM 2014 schedule https://archive.fosdem.org/2014/schedule/track/desktops/ might give you some inspiration. Please include the following information when submitting a proposal: - Your name - The title of your talk (please be descriptive, as titles will be listed with around 250 from other projects) - Short abstract of one or two paragraphs - Short bio (with photo) - Requested time: from 15 to 45 minutes. Normal duration is 30 minutes. Longer duration requests must be properly justified. You may be assigned LESS time than you request. The deadline for submissions is December 7th 2014. FOSDEM will be held on the weekend of January 31st-February 1st 2015 and the Desktops DevRoom will take place on Sunday, February 1st 2015. Please use the following website to submit your proposals: https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM15 (you do not need to create a new Pentabarf account if you already have one from past years). You can also join the devroom’s mailing list, which is the official communication channel for the DevRoom: desktops-devr...@lists.fosdem.org https://lists.fosdem.org/private/desktops-devroom/ (subscription page https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/desktops-devroom for the mailing list) – The Desktops DevRoom 2015 Organization Team --8--- -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev

With node.js, you can do all your server side scripting with javascript. And any critical code can be written in c++ and linked directly into node.js in a number of ways. That is very efficient, because you'll be working with javascript and c++ anyway. Just a suggestion. One thing is node.js is nascent technology, so you want to be extra careful about security. There are ways to mitigate those issues, if you think about it. If PHP is the problem and C++ is not, I'd rather recommend switching to Wt ( http://webtoolkit.eu ) and do everything in C++. Also, no worries about security. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
Re: [webkit-dev] Compiling WebKit up to 25% faster in Windows?
Hello, This thread already contains about 30 speculative messages. What about providing a patch for the whole WebKit and some benchmarks on the main platforms and compilers? On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 7:21 PM, Daniel Bratell brat...@opera.com wrote: Hi WebKittens, As you might be aware, we at Opera now have Chromium based products which means that we compile WebKit quite a lot. A big issue for us and our automatic systems has been the long time needed to compile WebKit (inside Chromium), especially in Windows. The big compilation time difference between Linux and Windows didn't seem to make sense so we did some analysis of what was going on and we think that we have found a cause. In WebKit include directives are without path, and instead the compiler is given a very long list of directories to search through. That process takes a lot of time in Windows. It must take some time in OSX and in Linux too but probably less. As an experiment we took the (chromium) project webcore_dom, that normally compiles in 56 seconds in Windows on a generic computer and fixed it. Removing the many include paths in the build system and instead specifying the path in the include directives changed that to 42 seconds, a 25% reduction. There is no reason to think the same reduction doesn't apply to all projects and then there are many many minutes to save for developers and build servers here. Caveat: I don't know if the resulting binary is correct. Is this something that has been talked about in the past, and would you be interested in replacing the long list of directories to search for every include with paths (relative some good base) directly in the include directives? /Daniel __**_ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/**mailman/listinfo/webkit-devhttps://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
