    Igalia announces 25-year milestone in upstream FOSS contributions

    The open-source consulting firm celebrated two and a half decades of work on upstream projects for clients, with a project list spanning WebKit, Linux kernel CPU and GPU scheduling, 3D graphics drivers, the Orca screen reader, and GStreamer.

    “What they get from us is not a patch to carry forever. We do the work upstream, in the project itself, so it arrives in the next release and keeps working long after the contract ends.”
