FOSSCOMM 2020, and a status update on EXT_external_objects(_fd) extensions [en, gr]

FOSSCOMM (Free and Open Source Software Communities Meeting) is a Greek conference aiming to promote the use of FOSS in Greece and to bring FOSS enthusiasts together. It is organized entirely by volunteers and universities and takes place in a different city each year. This year it was virtual as Greece is under lockdown, and although we’ve missed all the fun of the gathering, there were many interesting talks to watch.

My talk was very similar to the one I’ve given in XDC 2020 about OpenGL and Vulkan Interoperability. It was an update on the EXT_external_objects and EXT_external_objects_fd OpenGL extensions status on various mesa drivers, and Igalia‘s work on them.

[OpenGL and Vulkan Interoperability on Linux]: The XDC 2020 presentation

In this year’s XDC I’ve given a talk about OpenGL and Vulkan interoperability and our work to support EXT_external_objects and EXT_external_objects_fd on different Mesa3D drivers.

These are my slides and pages 9-12 contain short descriptions of all the Piglit EXT_external_objects use cases I plan to describe in the upcoming OpenGL and Vulkan Interoperability blog posts:

GUADEC 2019 took place in my city! Also: my helloworld in Rust.

This year (2019) GUADEC took place in my city, Thessaloniki. Although I’ve never had any direct contributions to GNOME I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to attend the conference: the traveling time to the venue was about 15 minutes!

SIGGRAPH2018

About 2 weeks ago, I attended SIGGRAPH 2018. I am still very excited about the whole event, and I am very thankful that Igalia (the consultancy company I work for) and specifically the Graphics Team selected me to go, despite this being my first year at the company!  😀
