[IMPORTANT UPDATE]: Microkernel and Component-Based OS Devroom

[Sebastian Sumpf]

Hello again,

this comes a little unexpected: The Plan9 devroom, that will take place right 
before this devroom in room K.4.201 as well, has very few submissions and we 
were just offered to extent our slot by two hours.

This offer implies:

1. We are able accept more talks
2. We need to reorganize the schedule
3. We can adjust your talk duration if needed

To every submission that did not get accepted: Please watch the state of your 
submission carefully because the state might change to accepted soon.

To already accepted proposals: Please have an eye on the schedule.

Not everything is 100% certain at the moment, but it looks promising,

Sebastian & Josef
