In his own words, here is a look back over the past year! First of all, I am enormously grateful to everyone who financially supports Servo, as those donations have enabled me to devote significant time to a project that I care a lot about. Some highlights from that funded work that I'm proud of: I nominated 8 new maintainers I reviewed 1150 pull requests I filed 114 issues targeted at newer contributors (92% of them have been fixed) I wrote new documentation about borrow hazards, experimental features, the AI policy, finding things to do, and fixing stable and intermittent test failures On top of that, I spent time diagnosing unexpected failures in others' PRs and fixed numerous intermittent test failures that made merging PRs more difficult for everyone. A few pieces of work from this period that stand out to me: supporting a large scale rewrite of Servo's JS engine integration to address intermittent panics related to garbage collection--I reviewed lots of pull requests, but also filed many issues that enabled the work addressing the panics to be spread across many other contributors getting tagged in to help understand test failures, uncovering our broken window.open behaviour, and eventually making a lot of flaky tests more stable supporting another contributor's grant proposal to work on Servo that was approved! This role I've carved out means a lot to me--I've found a healthy balance that allows me to spend time with my family as well as make meaningful contributions to Servo, and I get to spend a lot of time looking for ways to make the project more accessible for others. A big thank you to everybody supporting the project and my work; each individual monthly donation makes a big difference! I'm excited to see what's possible i ## July in Servo: more platforms, faster canvas, web fonts in SVG, and more!
