The Temporal proposal, co-championed by Igalia, advances to Stage 4 at TC39 — replacing JavaScript's Date API after nine years of work. Congratulations to everyone involved! Here's to better date-time handling on the web and beyond.

RE: @mariospr@fosstodon.org

Great talk by @marga@hachyderm.io at #EmbeddedWorld on modern Yocto best practices. Key takeaway: reproducible builds require more than good intentions — kas, containerized environments, and pinned deps are the way forward. Slides coming soon!

#ew26 #Yocto #EmbeddedLinux #OpenSource

Still going strong on Day 2 at #EmbeddedWorld! Lots of great conversations at booth 4-443 about our work on WPE WebKit, Vulkan drivers, and Moonforge — our new Yocto-based embedded OS launched this week. Come try the demos, including this VR experience running on our open source graphics stack!

RE: @tag@w3c.social

We would like to congratulate @Lukew@toot.wales on being appointed by the W3C TAG as an Associate! The Associate program (https://tag.w3.org/associates/) was launched a little over a year ago with the goal of helping to extend the TAG's ability to review and influence work.

🚀 We've released Moonforge, a brand new fully open-source Linux distribution based on Yocto. We aim to provide a production-ready foundation for building embedded operating systems! Read more: https://www.igalia.com/2026/03/09/Introducing-Moonforge-A-Yocto-Based-Linux-OS.html

Starting soon! @marga@hachyderm.io on modern Yocto best practices — 14:45 in the Yocto Use Cases session. #EmbeddedWorld #ew26 #Yocto

We're live at #EmbeddedWorld! Hall 4, Booth 4-443 — demos running all day.

Tomorrow at Embedded World! Hall 4, Booth 4-443.

→ Moonforge, our new Yocto-based framework for production-ready embedded Linux — live OTA updates on RPi5 with RAUC and hawkBit
→ Zephyr RTOS: a full BLE app on ARM Cortex-M, upstream-only, no proprietary SDK
→ WPE WebKit running on embedded devices

Two talks:
🗓 Tue 14:45 — @marga@hachyderm.io on modern Yocto best practices
🗓 Thu 15:00 — @mariospr@fosstodon.org on web engines for embedded devices

The EC is putting together an initiative to develop their strategy for open digital ecosystems. Given its potential to push forward the development and funding of open-source software in Europe and beyond, Igalia submitted a response with some suggestions.

Yesterday we said goodbye to #FOSDEM2026 and we'd like to thank the organizers and volunteers that make this huge #FOSS event possible every year. Big thanks also to everyone who attended our talks and came to say hi, and for the multiple shout-outs we got in other talks. See you next year!

Looking forward to seeing our fellow WebKit contributors, and talking about the project next week at the annual gathering!
