For my first little thread here on Fosstodon, I thought it would be cool to talk about an interesting topic I was researching this week: address sanitizer (ASan). This tool audits memory usage in C and C++ programs using Clang/LLVM, and the implementation is so simple and brilliant that I was really quite impressed by it.

#introduction

My name is Evan Prodromou. I'm an Open Source software enthusiast, best known for my work in wikis and in social software.

I work as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation.

I live in Montreal, love to garden with native plants, make wine, cook, and live an examined life.

Excellent progress toward piet-gpu being ported to WGSL and potentially running in the browser on WebGPU. Current code is hackish but it's shaping up well.

#introduction

Hi! I'm Raph. I've been in free software and open source circles for a long time. I'm passionate about fonts, 2D graphics, and Rust. At the moment, I'm trying to grow a serious open source community around xilem, a reboot of the Druid UI stack. It feels like a major adventure.

I also have a longtime interest in community, having done Advogato a while ago, and am now very active in Berkeley Friends Meeting.

Good to see so many of my friends here!

#introduction

I'm on the Chrome team at Google, working on shader language standardization, compilers, and related tooling.

Languages: SPIR-V, OpenCL C, and am currently a spec editor for #WebGPU Shading Language (#WGSL).

Compilers: (a bit of) Glslang, Shaderc, Clspv, DXC's SPIR-V backend (as mentor), most currently Tint (Google's WGSL compiler stack).

Tooling: SPIRV-Tools, Amber

Previously I worked on OpenCL for FPGAs when at Altera (later bought by Intel), and original SPIR standard.

@lupyuen Anytime I see these pharmacy signs in the French country site, I think some C64 demo coder retired there and has some side gigs.

Pharmageddon: a demo for a pharmacy LED sign.

I think these signs will get a lot more interesting now.
