Jake Edge reports that Igalia, the worker-owned open-source consultancy, marked 25 years of paid upstream development, listing work on WebKit, mobile-browser rendering across Maemo, Moblin, MeeGo, and Tizen, Linux kernel CPU and GPU scheduling, 3D graphics drivers, the Orca screen reader, and GStreamer. In its anniversary message the cooperative stresses that the work is not charity: clients with products to ship pay for it, and Igalia lands the changes in the upstream projects themselves so they arrive in the next release, ship in customer products, and keep working after the contract ends, with everyone else getting the same code.
