40 Minute Presentation - In Person Application Development and Deployment

Description

The GTK core team has been working on a number of big initiatives in the past year, from color management and text rendering to accessibility and Android. In this talk we'll present the current state of these initiatives, outline what the next steps are, and go into some depth to present the technical underpinnings and tradeoffs.

The presentation should be of particular interest to both app developers who want to get the most out of GTK's capabilities and to prospective GTK contributors who want to find interesting areas to work on. Our goal is to spark some excitement for new features and capabilities in GTK.
