From http://skia.org : “While engineering of the core components is done by the Skia development team, we consider contributions from any source.” Implying I can’t lead engineering of “core components” of the vector graphics renderer unless I work at Google.https://twitter.com/auchenberg/status/1088587621721231361 …

So what I quoted is equivalent to saying that if you care about fundamentally new approaches to vector graphics rendering on the Web you have to work at Google. Not liking this state of affairs is a curious definition of “philosophical ivory tower”.

Replying to @pcwalton
Why should you be entitled to lead engineering & get contributions accepted if someone else is legally/financially responsible for its maintenance & success? Maintaining a fork or slowly raising through the ranks to lead seems allowed there

1. The quoted post was about “contributing to Chromium”. Not a fork of it. 2. “Slowly rising through the ranks” is less bad as a bar than “getting hired at Google”, and it’s the latter I’m concerned with.
