FOSDEM Devroom 2021: Deadline Oct 31
by Julian Stecklina 31 Oct '20

31 Oct '20

Hello friends! Due to the obvious reasons FOSDEM 2021 will be an online event, but there will still be virtual devrooms. If we as a community are interested in continuing the tradition of the Microkernel and Component-based OS devroom we need to submit a devroom proposal as soon as possible. The deadline is Oct 31 (this Saturday!): https://fosdem.org/2021/news/2020-10-26-devroom-cfp/ Due to time constraints I'll not be able to organize it, but will be available to help out. So who wants to step up? :) If there are any questions, #ukvly and #genode on Freenode are probably good places to ask. Thanks, Julian

FOSDEM Microkernel & Component-based OS: Dinner
by Julian Stecklina 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

Hello, it has become sort of a tradition to go out and have dinner after the devroom. As the devroom is scheduled for Sunday, some people may already be on their way home and I think it makes sense to already meet up for food and drinks on Saturday. I've created this doodle to estimate how many people are interested in joining a dinner on Saturday: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/FOSDEM2020/ If we hit critical mass, I will try to make a reservation at a restaurant around Grand Place at 8pm. Suggestions for restaurants are welcome! Thanks, Julian PS. Of course, we'll also go out after the devroom on Sunday.

CfP: FOSDEM 2020 - Microkernels and Component-based OS devroom
by Julian Stecklina 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

Hello everyone, this is a gentle reminder that there are about two weeks left to submit talks for the Microkernel and Component-based Operating Systems devroom at FOSDEM 2020. So don't forget to get your proposals in until Dec 1st. Please, find the full CfP with submission instructions below. For any additional questions or if you need assistance with Pentabarf, don't hesitate to contact me! Thank you! Julian 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

Is there more information available on this (where/when to gather)? I was really looking forward to meeting people, but now realize the devroom is only Sunday (after the dinner), so I have no way of finding people before it. If possible and not too late, I would love to attend! :) Regards, Jean-Philippe

Hi, the originally planned talk for tomorrow's Microkernel devroom: Evolution of file system and disk management in HelenOS by Jiří Svoboda had to be cancelled. Like last year, we can do a series of short Lightning talks instead. If you have a topic that you would briefly like to talk about (~5 minutes), please send a note to Sebastian.Sumpf(a)genode-labs.com. Thanks, Jakub
