Servo's Infrastructure: Building Tomorrow's Browser Engine
The Servo browser engine is a Mozilla initiative to test novel approaches to rendering the web and build components to improve Firefox. Servo’s zealously open community contribution model is a glimpse into the future of how corporate projects can work symbiotically with volunteers.
However, the mix of Servo’s uncompromisingly open workflow and Mozilla’s strict security requirements for Firefox components creates infrastructure challenges. This talk will follow Servo’s quest to get the best of both worlds, highlighting the tools and techniques that other projects can use on similar challenges.
