At #xdc2024, @1ace and I demoed the bare-metal CI infrastructure we have been developing to improve the quality of open source graphics drivers.

In about 5 minutes, we've assembled, auto-discovered, and exposed to Gitlab CI a Steam Deck, a Raspberry Pi 5, a Vision Five 2 (RISCV64), and an HDK8550 (Qualcomm / Android).

The Steam Deck ended up executing the VKD3D-proton test suite, while the RPi5 ran a small portion of Vulkan's conformance tests.

Ah yes... the first "recruiter" scam email arrived today offering a graphics related job in Canada #xdc2024 🙃

Last Friday we said goodbye to #XDC2024. Big thanks to the X.Org Foundation, the organizers, the sponsors and everyone who came to talk to us during the conference! See you next year in Vienna! 👋 🇨🇦➡️🇦🇹

mhh, I should fetch something to eat 🙃 Somebody still around in Montreal? #xdc2024

Is it just me or there isn't a single #mask in sight in all the #XDC2024 photos? Are we trying to off the entire Linux graphics stack development in one go or something?

I am still very amused at the notion of compositor developers having zero perspective of what users want to do with their computers.

Excluding me apparently never having been a user and these days obviously only living in a terminal and maybe an IDE…

… do you actually think anybody knowledgeable in something IT-related is not getting bombarded by family and friends with “computer questions”? 😂

Jokes aside, while there is fun in designing an esoteric or potentially optimal solution, I want to build something genuinely useful for people. And I think most compositor developers will share that statement.

@karolherbst More cat ears would also be a start. (Last time I was the only one!) #xdc2024

Montreal is the place to be this week with the @XOrgDevConf starting this Wednesday! Catch one of our 7 talks: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/x.org-developers-conference-2024.html #XDC2024 #OpenSource

apparently #xdc2024 is "boring" because people don't dress up like e.g. dinosaurs.

You know what to do.
