FOSDEM 2013 - Microkernels / Component-based OSes devroom *CALL FOR PARTICIPATION* http://fosdem.org/2013
The developers of several free and open-source component- and/or microkernel-based operating systems will meet at FOSDEM 2013 in Brussels, Belgium and will share a developer room.
The devroom is currently looking for content in the form of talks related to the area of component- and/or microkernel-based operating systems. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* OS introduction to developers of other OS * Subsystems and architecture * Hardware and device drivers * Tools and languages * Release engineering and testing * Experience and learning from mistakes * Technical challenges * Community and life with an OS-project * Academia and education
Please send your talk proposal(s) no later than by 2012-12-15 to:
microkernel-devroom at lists.fosdem.org
Make sure to include the following in your proposal:
* title of your talk (will be printed in the FOSDEM booklet) * your full name (will be printed in the FOSDEM booklet) * a short abstract * duration of your talk (please, no longer than 45 minutes)
The final devroom schedule (along with accepted talks) will be announced on the above mailing list on 2012-12-22. Moreover, the speakers will be notified via e-mail. The schedule will be also published on the FOSDEM web and in the FOSDEM booklet after 2013-01-10.
If you do not want to give a talk yourself, you may still send suggestions for what else you would like to see, or do in the devroom. Please send your suggestions to the above mailing list.
The devroom is scheduled for Saturday of February 2. The seating capacity of the room is 74 seats. Any changes will be announced in the above mailing list.

So one thing I really would like to see is some form of presentation, or a poster even, that would nicely summarize the similarities and differences between many of the projects we're talking about here (ukernels, hypervisors, OSes, frameworks). E.g. which of the projects are really complementary to each other (e.g. one of them provides a ukernel while another provides "everything else" and really depends on that ukernel instead of being its competition)? Which ones are competition to each other and how they differ (e.g. for ukernels that would be a question of IOMMU support, power management support, etc).
There is incredible amount of misinformation regarding this and I often get questions such as "How is Qubes OS different from the Nova hypervisor?", or "How is Qubes OS different from Genode OS Framework?" (the latter being pretty valid question BTW), etc.
So, perhaps during this meeting there could be a session which would aim to create such a big picture diagram or something.
Cheers, joanna.
Hi all,
apologies for the high cross-posting traffic. I left out the information on how to subscribe to the devroom's mailing list previously:
https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/microkernel-devroom
Please, limit the discussion regarding the devroom's organization, respectively your proposals to the above list instead of replying to all organizations in this mail-header.
Thank you in advance Stefan

Hi Joanna, hi folks,
So, perhaps during this meeting there could be a session which would aim to create such a big picture diagram or something.
That's a good idea. Last year there was a closing panel discussion on the microkernel devroom which might be a suitable place to organize such a "big diagram drawing" this time. Or would you prefer a separate session for it?
Anyway, we should perhaps brainstorm the interesting criteria according to we would like to classify the various systems on this mailing list first, so that the "big diagram drawing" is somehow structured when it happens live. Alternatively, I can host a wiki page for it (on the HelenOS wiki).
Therefore, in relation to Joanna's suggestion, I suggest to have a closing panel discussion again on the devroom. I also suggest to allocate a longer time slot for the panel discussion this time (at least twice as long as last time).
Best regards
Martin Decky HelenOS
Hi folks,
sorry for bothering you again with this. I just want to remind you, there are only 12 days left until the deadline for the microkernel devroom proposals.
