Hello everyone,
the annual FOSDEM in Brussels and the microkernel developer room in particular is almost a mandatory date for us. Instead of gathering in Brussels, this year, crowds of Free-Software and Open-Source enthusiasts will hold a virtual event. The FOSDEM organizers are restless with setting up virtual counterparts of important FOSDEM features like developer rooms and even hallway meetings. FOSDEM is free for everyone.
FOSDEM 2021, February 6 and 7
The microkernel developer room is shepherded by Martin Decky of the HelenOS project, who announced a call for participation in November. You may have noticed his posting on this mailing list. It goes without saying that we at Genode Labs urged to contribute. In the meantime, the schedule of the developer room has been decided.

The topic of our contribution is the presentation and demo of our recent developments of pluggable device drivers, which will be the basis for on-the-fly driver updates, self-healing, and power management.
