Agenda:

• Skia
  • Google's Skia team will be present for the first part of the call
  • Main objective is to get to know each other and present any immediate questions we have
  • Chromium uses its own version of SkFontHost on Linux - why?
    • fontconfig, maybe?
    • They didn't know to merge it back in.
  • Wrapping an SkFontFace around a FT_Face
    • that is exactly what they do in the Linux backend
  • They have a #define to remove static initializers/constructors
• Hardware Accelerated Performance in Powersave
  • bug 721273
  • Bas can reproduce
  • IE9 is way faster than us
    • Re-uploading images can be part of the problem
    • We don't retain gradients
    • Textures for text
    • D2D 1.1 can help a lot too
  • To do: PIX run with draw timing
• Accelerating
  • Everyone should work harder.
• Still have to find time to cleanup other stuff
  • 280.13 Driver Bugs
    • Only needed to update Linux NVIDIA driver, not a prerequisite for new machines.
