[Microkernel-devroom] [TALK-PROPOSAL] Reaching puberty - How Genode is becoming a general-purpose OS

[Norman Feske]

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
