Hosted by Apple, the WebKit summit is a great opportunity for  developers from over the world to meet in person and discuss the present and future of the project.

Igalia's WebKit team has released WebKitGTK+ 2.0, the culmination of more than two years of development. WebKitGTK+ is the GNOME platform port of the WebKit rendering engine and is used by Epiphany, the GNOME desktop browser.

Igalia has maintained WebKitGTK+ since 2007 and has made important contributions in all the main features of the project like graphics, networking, multimedia, fonts, etc.

The Linux Collaboration Summit is an annual event organized by the Linux Foundation consisting of plenary sessions and workgroup meetings for face-to-face discussions about upcoming changes in Linux and other hot topics. Important companies take part - OEMs, device manufacturers, integrators, ISVs - and also individuals like kernel developers, distribution maintainers and end users.

The Mobile World Congress, the mobile industry's largest exhibition, is held every February in Barcelona. It is the meeting point for businesses with interests in the mobile sector and attracts attendees ranging from device manufacturers and technology providers to mobile operators and vendors. Mobile World Congress is not only an excellent trade show to learn about the latest mobile products and trends in the market, but is also a conference covering market opportunities, next-generation services and presentations of innovative devices.
