Hello,
hereby, I'd like to announce my ongoing activity to move my daily computing routine from Linux to Genode. We kicked off this line of work at our recent Hack'n'Hike, which took place as a magnificent location called "Turmvilla" in Bad Muskau. Hence, the code name for the activity.
The transition will take many steps but we already succeeded with the first one: I'm posting this message from a Genode-based system, more specifically from a Linux VM running in VirtualBox on top of Genode/NOVA, connected to a wireless network using our port of the Intel wireless stack. Now we can take this as a starting point to move individual computing tasks from the Linux world to the Genode world and improve the user experience step by step.
My personal goal is to have a convenient and stable working environment by the end of June (while still using the Linux VM for some things).
If you like to follow this activity, you may track the corresponding issue at GitHub:

For those of you who are venturesome and like to join the ride, you can find the instructions in the issue. For further assistance, leave a comment at the issue tracker or reply to this email.
Cheers Norman
