Hello, it's amazing how lively this list has become in the last couple of days. So here is my proposal for Genode's contribution to the dev room: :-) * title of your talk (will be printed in the FOSDEM booklet) Reaching puberty - How Genode is becoming a general-purpose OS * your full name (will be printed in the FOSDEM booklet) Norman Feske, Genode Labs * a short abstract The Genode OS Framework is a tool kit for composing special-purpose OSes out of a growing number of ready-to-use components such as device drivers, protocol stacks, runtimes, and in particular microkernels. One year ago, we declared our goal to bring the framework to a level where its developers can use it as day-to-day OS. The talk will briefly introduce the fundamental ideas behind Genode's architecture followed by the presentation of the corner-stone for pursuing our goal to run GNU on Genode, namely the Noux runtime environment. Growing up is not easy. Hence, the second part of the presentation will be an experience report on the challenges we encountered at various levels of the software stack and the ways of how we overcame them. * duration of your talk 45 min Best regards Norman
