[Resent due to wrong Reply-To: header] FOSDEM 2020 - Microkernels and Component-based OS devroom CALL FOR PARTICIPATION The developers of several free and open-source microkernel-based operating systems will meet at FOSDEM 2020 [1] in Brussels, Belgium and will share a developer room. The devroom is currently looking for content in the form of talks and activities related to the area of microkernel-, unikernel-, and component-based operating systems. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * introduction of a specific OS or framework * design of subsystems and the general architecture of an OS * used languages and tools * enabling support for hardware (architectures, device drivers) * enabling support for programming languages * maintenance and testing * security and robustness * trends and challenges * use cases, experiences, lessons learned and demos The deadline for your proposal is on December 1, 2019. Please use the Pentabarf [2] system to submit your proposals. You do not need to create a new account if you already have one. Make sure to include the following in your proposal: * title of your talk (will be printed in the FOSDEM booklet) * your full name (will be printed in the FOSDEM booklet) * a short abstract (one or two paragraphs) * duration of your talk (at least 25 and no longer than 55 min) The official devroom schedule (along with the accepted talks) will be announced on December 15 on the devroom's mailing list [3] and the speakers will be notified via e-mail. The schedule will also be published on the FOSDEM website. You are invited to send any other suggestions for what you want to see or do at the devroom to the list. We will also use this list to organize the traditional devroom dinner that will happen on the first day of FOSDEM. About the devroom Since the first Microkernel devroom at FOSDEM 2012, this devroom has been part of each following FOSDEM. The focus gradually widened to include component-based operating systems. By now it has become a somewhat institutionalized tradition for the community to meet there; to this date over a dozen projects have participated in one way or another. Each of the projects face similar challenges but come up with partially different solutions. Therefore, the goal of the devroom is to bring the various projects together, let them exchange ideas, cross-pollinate and socialize. Social events It also has become a habit that the microkernel projects dine together somewhere in Brussels. The year 2020 will not be any different, so there is going to be a dinner on Saturday night. We try place a reservation, so we will inform you about the exact location and time later. Consult the FOSDEM web and other projects for additional social events such as the famous FOSDEM-organized Friday Beer Event and the FOSDEM-arranged free sightseeing tours for spouses. About FOSDEM FOSDEM is a two-day event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software. Taking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM is widely recognised as the best such conference in Europe. FOSDEM covers a wide spectrum of free and open source software projects, and offers a platform for people to collaborate. To this end, FOSDEM has set up developer rooms (devrooms) with network/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet and showcase their projects. Devrooms are a place for teams to discuss, hack and publicly present latest directions, lightning talks, news and discussions. Besides developer rooms, FOSDEM also offers main tracks, lightning talks, certification exams and project stands. Every year, FOSDEM hosts more than 5000 developers at the ULB Solbosch campus. Participation and attendance is totally free, though the organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship. No registration necessary. Important dates recap * 2019-12-01: Deadline for submissions * 2019-12-15: Schedule published and speakers notified of acceptance * 2020-02-01: Devroom Dinner (details to be announced) * 2020-02-01/2020-02-02: The devroom takes places (check the schedule) Links [1] https://fosdem.org/ [2] https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM20 [3] https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/microkernel-devroom

CERN

Hi Might be of some interest to FOSDEM visitors. When we built OSDEM back in the 90's and FOSDEM was being formed the people at CERN were using a lot of GNU/Linux. Sadly they moved to Microsoft. With the advent of winduhs 10 CERN have decided to go somewhere else... https://home.cern/news/news/computing/microsoft-alternatives-project-malt Such as... Where do you want go tomorrow ? A lot of people who visit FOSDEM have shown interest in CERN. So, read the page and see what you make of it. -- Richard http://www.sheflug.org.uk/indexpage

Hi https://sleepypenguin.homelinux.org/blog/?p=316 Thanks to everyone for FOSDEM 2019. I've been around since 1994 when we started OSDEM. Still going strong. We used to think that 200 people was a lot of visitors. I've written for GNU/Linux magazines for twenty years. The above page is a RISC-V review. Might be of some interest to someone out there. Hopefully we can look forward to many more FOSDEMs.. -- Richard http://www.sheflug.org.uk/indexpage -- Richard

Laptop video connection testing
by Pander 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

Dear organization, Thank you very much for yet again organizing a great FOSDEM. Unfortunately, my Ubuntu laptop refused to share its screen with the video capturing box. So I had to switch to the laptop that was available in the room using only a PDF browser and lacking the presentation software that show the speaker's notes and the next slide. My laptop normally does connect properly to external screens. Perhaps as an improvement for next year, could the main desk in K have an extra video capturing box where speakers can test their laptop's settings before giving a presentation. Having a place to test and troubleshoot will reduce the stress before a presentation and save time in setting up in the room where a presentation is given. I think, this will greatly improve switching speakers in the rooms. Best regards, Pander
