Igalia is preparing the 2024 Linux Display Next Hackfest and we are thrilled to announce that this year’s hackfest will take place from May 14th to 16th at our HQ in A Coruña, Spain.

This unconference-style event aims to bring together the most relevant players in the Linux display community to tackle current challenges and chart the future of the display stack.

Key goals for the hackfest include:

  • Releasing the power of collaboration: We’ll work to remove bottlenecks and pave the way for smoother, more performant displays.
  • Problem-solving powerhouse: Brainstorming sessions and collaborative coding will target issues like HDR, color management, variable refresh rates, and more.
  • Building on past commitments: Let’s solidify the progress made in recent years and push the boundaries even further.

The hackfest fosters an intimate and focused environment to brainstorm, hack, and design solutions alongside fellow display experts. Participants will dive into discussions, tinker with code, and contribute to shaping the future of the Linux display stack.

More details are available on the official website.

Stay tuned! Keep an eye out for more information, mark your calendars and start prepping your hacking gear.
