[Microkernel-devroom] Talk-proposal: The microkernel OS Escape

[Nils Asmussen]

Hi everyone,

I would like to give the following talk:

Title: The microkernel OS Escape
My name: Nils Asmussen
Length: 30-40 min.
Abstract:

Escape is a UNIX-like microkernel operating system which I'm developing 
since october 2008 as a hobby. It runs on x86 and the two rather exotic 
architectures ECO32 and MMIX. It supports multitasking, multithreading 
and SMP and has a quite advanced memory management. The userspace 
consists of drivers (ATA/ATAPI, ext2- and iso9660 filesystem, PCI, VGA, 
VESA and a few others), libraries (libc, libcpp), simple versions of the 
well known UNIX tools (ls, ps, cat, head, less, ...) and a small GUI.

In the talk I'll give an overview about Escape and explain the most 
important concepts. Especially, I'll present the virtual file system 
that the kernel provides and that is among others used for getting 
access to drivers.


Best regards,
Nils
