CfP: Microkernel and Component-based OS Devroom at FOSDEM 2024
Microkernel and Component-based OS Devroom at FOSDEM 2024 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION On-line version of this CfP: http://fosdem.microkernel.info/ The developers and users of several free and open source microkernel-based, unikernel-based and component-based operating systems will meet as part of FOSDEM 2024 [1] and will share a developer room. The devroom is currently looking for content in the form of talks and other activities related to microkernel-based, unikernel-based, component-based operating systems and similar areas. Possible topics of the devroom include, but are not limited to: * introduction of a specific OS or framework * design of subsystems and the general architecture of an OS * languages, tools and toolchains used * enabling support for hardware (architectures, device drivers) and programming languages * development processes, debugging * maintenance, testing and release engineering * safety, security and robustness * trends and challenges * research and open questions * community and governance * use cases, experiences and status updates * best practices and lessons learned * demos The devroom has been scheduled to Saturday February 3rd 2024 in the afternoon (Central European Time). This is a call for your participation. We kindly ask you to submit your proposals no later than on December 10th 2023 (End of Day, Anywhere on Earth). Please use the pretalx [2] web site to submit your proposals. Note that this is a new submission system and the user accounts from the previous submission system (pentabarf) have not been transferred. Make sure to select the Microkernel and Component-based OS as the track when submitting your proposal and include at least the following information: * title of your proposal * short abstract (one or two paragraphs) * duration (at least 15 minutes and no longer than 40 minutes) * your full name * your short bio You can specify your preferred time slot of your proposal and any other relevant information. The communication language of the devroom is English. Please note that the devroom has been allocated only a half of a day this year. Therefore the final decision on the duration of the talks will be made by the devroom organizers based on the number of accepted proposals. The official devroom schedule (along with the accepted talks) will be announced on December 15th 2023 on the devroom's mailing list [3] and the speakers will be notified via e-mail. The schedule will be published on the FOSDEM web site, too. About the Devroom Since the first Microkernel OS Devroom at FOSDEM 2012 [4], this devroom has been a part of each following FOSDEM (with slight variations of the name). The focus gradually widened to include component-based, unikernel-based and other operating systems. By now, it has become a somewhat institutionalized tradition for the open source operating systems community, a kind of "extended family meeting" and it is one of the places where microkernel and unikernel enthusiasts meet regularly. To this date, over two dozen projects have participated in one way or another. Many of the projects face similar challenges but come up with partially different solutions. Therefore, the goal of the devroom is to bring the various projects together, let them exchange ideas, cross-pollinate and socialize. As every previous year, the devroom will offer the "stage" both to established community members and to newcomers. We like to select the talks in an inclusive manner, while staying true to the main technical topics (system-level software, broadly speaking) and creating a balanced and unbiased schedule. We would like to keep the quality bar of the devroom same as in the previous years. Presenting at FOSDEM implies that the recordings of the talks will be published under Creative Commons license by FOSDEM. By submitting a proposal, the speaker agrees to have the talk made available publicly indefinitely. For organizational purposes, we also need contact information of the speakers of accepted talks. Microkernel Dinner It has also become a habit that the devroom participants dine together somewhere in Brussels. The year 2024 will not be any different, so there is going to be a dinner on Saturday night. We will inform you about the exact arrangements later. About FOSDEM FOSDEM [5] is a two-day conference organized by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software. FOSDEM is widely recognized as one of the largest and best such events worldwide. FOSDEM covers a wide spectrum of free and open source software and hardware projects and offers a platform for people to collaborate. To this end, FOSDEM has set up developer ro

Well, these are not silly ideas at all, but for a talk one needs to have a main story to tell, not only a collection of small stories, and I'm afraid I have already covered what I can talk about (flexible way to have hardware support, flexibility for the user), and Justus talked about virtualization two years ago. > Maybe you could demo [...] Demos take a very long time to make them work. Unless people help me with it (understand: give me a step-by-step process that I'll be able to just follow) I won't be able to get the time to make them work. > Perhaps you could outline a roadmap. Mmm. In the end that's what I could think of from your ideas. I have thus proposed: “ A roadmap for the Hurd? Most people don't realize it, but the Hurd system is actually well established. Between 75% and 80% of Debian official packages do build fine, it has mainstream gcc/glibc/llvm support, go and rust ports are ongoing, it can be installed with the Debian installer and GuixSD and Arch ports are ongoing... Yet not so much has been happening within the Hurd itself in the past couple of years. We have notably added a PCI arbiter, which allows for both flexible and safe PCI access for end users, and some basic ACPI support is ongoing. But many exciting features could be achieved with a bit of work. This talk will discuss some of these promising features, to give a sort of ideas roadmap for contributions. Some have implementation sketches which just need to be polished to be more production-ready, such as httpfs, mboxfs, or writing translators in more high-level languages than C. Other features are at early stage, such as adding sound support through rump, getting complete rid of disk drivers from the kernel by moving them to userland, or also getting valgrind support. I will also discuss some promising ideas, such as using libguestfs to get support for more filesystems. ” Now, that being written, I very well remember feedback from previous talks. Basically the question was "Cool project! How do I start?" I would point to the contribution page of the wiki, and notably its "Small hack entries", but apparently it is way not detailed enough for people to give them a try. Obviously, ideally enough I'd have time to develop them, but I simply don't have it. I mean, for each of these items, giving more details is not just a matter of writing them, but looking around what needs to be done, where, which RPCs, etc. I don't have enough time for that. So, while I'll be happy to give this talk, unless the community takes a stab at reworking the contribution page into workable items, I'm afraid it will not drag much more than the previous years.

Maybe you could mention some nearly finished or half finished work that people should try to finish? like the ext3fs project, perl & python support. Someone could finish the valgrind port. I know it was a gsoc, but I'm not certain how far the student got... Perhaps you could outline a roadmap. Maybe you could mention what's the most crucial gsoc project. Maybe you could demo a python, java, or lisp translator. I have a feeling the port for those are not complete, but it would be cool to show a translator running in something other than C. :) You could mention recent news items: - You could mention the recent LLVM supporting the GNU/Hurd. - ArchHurd started up again. - the recent merge of PCI arbiter Maybe you could demo guix/shepherd running on the Hurd. It would actually be cool to see a guix config file specifying a GNU/Hurd translator. Something like (operating-system (translator (ftpfs (user samuel) (mount-point ftp: Perhaps you could mention some of the other ways to run the Hurd besides qemu. Maybe you could demo the Xen port/show people how they can run GNU/Linux and the Hurd at the same time on any computer that supports Xen. (Am I correct in thinking that this is possible?) Perhaps you could show people where/how they could set up a GNU/Hurd server, with which to play. Maybe give a few use cases where a GNU/Hurd server is more flexible than GNU/Linux. Perhaps you could demo some translators: mboxfs, xmlfs, jfs, run, etc. I suppose that the jfs is in a sad state, seeing as it's in hurd extras. And it's only read-only. ah. I didn't know that. So technically the Hurd does have a "modern-ish" journal file system. Maybe you could mention libguestfs. We could build translators out of that...Not everybody has heard of that. Would Richard by mad if we mentioned x15? You could mention how we are pulling ideas from it. > > Samuel

why not yours? You use to talk about Hurd in FOSDEM every year. I can't talk yet: my SMP project is in a draft stage, and I don't enough information about this. This edition is too early to talk about my project.

FOSDEM 2019 - Microkernels developer room - CfP
Hi, I'm Martin from Genode Labs, Dresden. We're organizing the "Microkernels and component-based OS" developer room of the FOSDEM 2019 and thought that maybe the GNU Hurd community could be interested in participating in this Devroom. What do you think? I was not sure about which of your mailing lists to address, so, would you mind to redirect this request to the one that is most appropriate? I'm looking forward to hear from you! Best wishes, Martin ----- FOSDEM 2019 - Microkernels developer room ----- FOSDEM 2019 - Microkernels and Component-based OSes devroom CALL FOR PARTICIPATION The developers of several free and open-source microkernel-based operating systems will meet at FOSDEM 2019 [1] in Brussels, Belgium and will share a developer room on Sunday February 03, 2019 [2]. The devroom is currently looking for content in the form of talks and activities related to the area of microkernel-, unikernel-, and componenent-based operating systems. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * introduction of a specific OS or framework * design of subsystems and the general architecture of an OS * enabling support for hardware (architectures, device drivers) * used languages and tools * maintenance and testing * security and robustness * trends and challenges * use cases, experiences, lessons learned and demos Please use the Pentabarf [3] system to submit your proposals. You do not need to create a new account if you already have one. When in doubt, please use the devroom mailing list [4]. 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 mailing list. The deadline for your proposal is on December the 1st 2018. 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 (one or two paragraphs) * duration of your talk (please, at least 25 and no longer than 55 min) The official devroom schedule (along with the accepted talks) will be announced on December the 15th on the devroom's mailing list and the speakers will be notified via e-mail.

Re: fosdem talk?
Well the bulk of the work has been done and Guix does run on Hurd. It is still ongoing but now I am mostly solving per package problems and eliminating Linuxism in Guix now but I am not sure if this is enough for another gsoc. We can talk about it tomorrow. Btw Samuel I have a talk tomorrow at 10:50 about my GSoC work. Any Hurd guy/girl available at that time please come. :) Manolis P.S. excuse me if this mail contains any html, I am sending it from my smartphone.

I may be mistaken, and Manolis may be in a better space to comment on this than me, but I think Guix on Hurd is ongoing and possibly GSoC for next year to? Cheers, Alex

How about “using the Hurd, examples on bare metal”? With examples how you do normal things (desktop) and cool things (anything with capabilities, translators or subhurds) with the Hurd?

FOSDEM 2016 - Microkernel devroom CfP
FOSDEM 2016 - Microkernel devroom CALL FOR PARTICIPATION The developers of several free and open-source microkernel-based operating systems will meet at FOSDEM 2016[1] in Brussels, Belgium and will share a developer room. The devroom is currently looking for content in the form of talks and activities related to the area of microkernel-based operating systems. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * project introductory and status update talks, demos * architecture, subsystem and components' design * hardware and device drivers * tools, languages and toolchains * development, debugging, testing and release engineering * best practices and learning from mistakes * trends and challenges * community and life with a microkernel project Please use the Pentabarf[2] system to submit your proposals. You do not need to create a new account if you already have one. When in doubt, please use the devroom mailing list[3]. The deadline for your CfP submissions is on 2015-12-13. Make sure to include the following in your proposal: * title of your talk * abstract (one or two paragraphs) * your full name * your short bio * a picture of yourself * duration of your talk The official devroom schedule (along with the accepted talks) will be announced on 2015-12-18 in the devroom's mailing list and the speakers will be notified via e-mail. The schedule will also be published on the FOSDEM web and in the FOSDEM booklet. The devroom will take place on Saturday of January 30, 2016 at ULB Solbosch Campus in Brussels, Belgium[4]. About FOSDEM FOSDEM is a two-day event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software. Taking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM is widely recognised as the best such conference in Europe. FOSDEM covers a wide spectrum of free and open source software projects, and offers a platform for people to collaborate. To this end, FOSDEM has set up developer rooms (devrooms) with network/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet and showcase their projects. Devrooms are a place for teams to discuss, hack and publicly present latest directions, lightning talks, news and discussions. Besides developer rooms, FOSDEM also offers main tracks, lightning talks, certification exams and project stands. Every year, FOSDEM hosts more than 5000 developers at the ULB Solbosch campus. Participation and attendance is totally free, though the organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship. No registration necessary. About the devroom Since its inception in 2012 the Microkernel devroom has been part of each FOSDEM conference. It has become a sort of an institutionalized tradition since then. To this date over a dozen projects have participated in one way or another, delivering forty talks and other contributions in total. The goal of the Microkernel devroom has been to bring the various projects together and let them share ideas, cross-pollinate and socialize. Each year the devroom is organized by one of the projects based on a system of rotating presidency from the pool of projects that opt in. In 2016 it is HelenOS' turn again. Social events It has become a tradition that the microkernel projects dine together somewhere in downtown Brussels after the devroom closes. The year 2016 will not be any different, so there is going to be a microkernel family dinner on Saturday night. The exact location and time will be specified later.

news 2010-01: Arch Hurd, FOSDEM preparations and a thesis on mobile Hurd objects
Hi, Sorry for the short notice. The current news reads like this: This month saw the first booting version of an [Arch GNU Hurd](http://www.archhurd.org/), which seconds the distribution from [Debian](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/) which already gives you 66% of the debian software archive. Also we organized a meeting at FOSDEM, February 6th and 7th in Bruxelles, where [8 Hurd developers will meet](http://www.bddebian.com/~hurd- web/community/meetings/fosdem_2010/). Six of us will stay in Hotel Astrid with the FSFE folks. On Sunday 7th, Olaf Buddenhagen will be giving two presentations in the [Alt-OS Devroom](http://dev.haiku- os.org/wiki/FOSDEM2010AltOSDevroomSchedule): *Why is Anyone Still Working on the GNU Hurd?* (10:30) and *Porting KGI graphics drivers from Linux to GNU Hurd* (13:00). And Carl Fredrik Hammar [finished and presented](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug- hurd/2010-01/msg00078.html) his thesis [Generalizing mobility for the Hurd] (http://users.student.lth.se/cs07fh9/2009-hammar-hurd-mobility.pdf) and passed with distinction. Its abstract reads: *The GNU Hurd features mobile objects in its implementation of filesystem backing stores. This thesis investigates the limitations and security concerns these objects present, and how they can be overcome. This is done in preparation for new applications that feature mobile code and mobile objects. In addition, one such application is studied and implemented, in which mobile code is used to make the ioctl system call more extensible.* Please add anything important I missed (I still have problems with my email program, so quite a few things might have slipped past me). I'll merge and push tomorrow...

Hi, I'm going -- who else? :-) -antrik- - Forwarded message from mmu_man rev...@gmail.com - Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:56:17 -0800 (PST) From: mmu_man rev...@gmail.com To: Rosetta rosetta...@googlegroups.com Subject: Call for participation to the Alt-OS devroom at FOSDEM Reply-To: rosetta...@googlegroups.com During the previous edition of the Free and Open Source Software Developer's European Meeting (FOSDEM) http://fosdem.org/, several alternative FOSS Operating System projects (Haiku http://haiku-os.org/ , ReactOS http://www.reactos.org/) shared booths, but there were discussions about going beyond presenting each projects on its own, and instead seek cooperation. Recently, at the Google Summer of Code mentor summit, other OS projects gathered and formed the Rosetta OS group http://code.google.com/p/rosetta-os/ to work on driver sharing. This year, the FOSDEM (in Brussels, 6-7th February 2010) will host the Alt-OS devroom on sunday from 9:00 to 17:00, organized by members of the Rosetta OS project. This devroom is meant as a place for Free and OpenSource Alternative Operating System projects to share ideas and work on topics like: * distinguishing design and features, * device drivers and how to share them, * sharing code for internal components, * internal usage of other FOSS projects to build upon, * application portability, * interoperability, * file formats, * extended attributes... We are interested to hear about your OS projects, how they are designed, and what they could eventually share for other projects' benefit. In addition to all FOSS OS projects, any application project that is seeking new target platforms is invited. Featured projects will include participants from the Rosetta OS project which charter http:// code.google.com/p/rosetta-os/wiki/RosettaOSCharter matches our devroom goal. As time allows, we are also interested in transversal subjects in cooperation with other devrooms. As an example, possible topics could include: * unusual package management with the Crossdistro room, * standardization of GUI elements and behavior with the Crossdesktop devroom, * scalability with the Embedded devroom, * ways in which BSD drivers were reused in your project, * concerns about porting Java, * Gallium3D port progress reports... The format of the talks can vary, from 45min large speech to 15 min general project presentation, or hand-on hacking session. = Proposals = Proposals should be sent to François Revol by mail: revol AT free DOT fr Your proposal should include: * duration (in 15 minute blocks -- please stick with that granularity, as it will make the schedule somewhat easier to follow for visitors), * activity title (please try to be descriptive, there are ~250 talks at FOSDEM during the week-end ;)), * a short abstract (1-2 paragraphs), * a longer description if appropriate, * optionally a list of links to the project website or similar * for each speaker: * the speaker's real name, * a short overview of her bio in a couple of lines, * optionally also a longer bio, * optionally a picture (please send it to us as 128x128 PNG), * optionally links to her website, blog, ... Plain-text format is preferred by the FOSDEM team, it makes their life easier, something like: -- John Doe john@example.org John is currently working as a freelancer and spends most of his free time contributing to various opensource projects, most prominently on libjohndoe. John currently lives in England with his wife, 2 kids and a bunch of kitten. He loves spending his time walking around in the woods, and of course kitten. He has a masters degree in kitten science, which helps him a lot with coding. blog: http://johndoe.example.org/blog/ attached: john_doe.png -- = Deadline = The deadline for submissions is 2009-12-25, please try to stick to it. Acceptance notification on 2009-12-31. = Organization = The room provided by the FOSDEM team has: * room number AW1.105 with 48 seats, * a video projector with VGA cable, * wireless internet. We will try to provide a wifi router with ethernet ports for demonstrations since we know many projects do not have functional wifi drivers yet. We will also try to provide a laptop to load your slides on if you can't use your own machine. It is advised to see with your project supporting associations for possible reimbursement of travel and hosting cost, since the FOSDEM team cannot help there. Attendance is free however. Also remember to check other devroom calls as well as the call for lightning talks http://fosdem.org/2010/call_for_lightningtalks, for subjects that might not fit our topics of interest. = Projected schedule = 9:00 Welcome (15min) 9:15 Rosetta OS project morning project presentations, design... afternoon more projects, workshops... 16:45 Closing (15min) - End forwarded message -

Re: FOSDEM 2008
Not from my side, no. But as long as we don't even know who'll be attending FOSDEM, we can't make any decision whether to rent an appartement or not, in my opinion. I guess that it's too late for renting an appartment nevertheless. I'd be fine with staying in the youth hostel again, where we've been for the last two years. Samuel, would you be fine with giving them a phone call again? Sure, however, I need precise dates to be able to reserve rooms. For now, I've put a large estimation on the wiki, please check your dates and fix if needed. I'll call them tomorrow morning with the rough estimation to check for availability. Samuel

What do we have to tell? Whom do we want to tell? Do we want to reach arbitrary people that don't know how to spell ``Hurd'' yet, or rather do some BoF-like sessions, i.e., internal presentations? Some first thoughts, and to drop some names: A bunch of people have been hacking on kernels at the moment and could present their findings: Bas Wijnen, Gianluca Guida, Johan Rydberg, Marcus Brinkmann, Neal Walfield, Richard Braun, Samuel Thibault, Tom Bachmann. Richard has been working for his university thesis on the Mach reimplementation X-15. Samuel has been working on Xen-Mach. Gianluca, as well as Samuel, is also working on Xen stuff these days. Bas, Marcus, Neal and Tom worked on kernel stuff (more or less) with respect to what's currently being called Hurd-NG. Johan was at least working on kernel stuff in the past time. I'm quite sure that Marcus and Neal would find a topic (or two) worth presenting, what about the others? Fredrik Hammar was working on libchannel during the summer, being mentored by Richard and Olaf Buddenhagen. This work would be worth presenting. Stefan Siegl recently implemented support for IPv6 into pfinet. Would this be a topic for a presentation? Or about the Hurdy libfuse? Myself, I also have an idea about what to work on and present it afterwards -- if at all I get some results until FOSDEM, which might be difficult, as there are a bunch of maintenance tasks I'm supposed to be working on before getting on to my fancy ideas, sadly.

According to my own experience, the devrooms at FOSDEM generally tend to be rather BoF-like. (They are developer rooms after all, right? ;-) ) FOSDEM has way too much other interesting stuff to offer, to hope for anyone but people already seriously interested in the topic to drop by. Only extremely catchy topics (like e.g. Xgl in the X devroom in 2006) will attract outsiders. Thus, I think the answer is pretty clear: We should focus on exchanging knowledge and ideas amongst people interested in the Hurd. IMHO that's also what this community is most sorely missing, so it really makes sense... If we come up with some talk that indeed could attract a wider audience, I think we should rather try to get that one into one of the main tracks.

CALL FOR PAPERS for the 5th EMBEDDED track at FOSDEM 2007
CALL FOR PAPERS for the 5th EMBEDDED track at FOSDEM 2007 = sat 24 - sun 25 February 2007, Brussels Call for papers The 2007 edition of FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting; http://www.fosdem.org) will take place in Brussels, Belgium on 24 and 25 February 2007. For the fifth time, a track on Embedded Systems and Operating Systems will be organized. The fourth edition was quite succesful and attracted up to 150 attendants for certain topics. For last year's program see: http://www.embedded-kernel-track.org/2006/papers.html The use of Free Software in the infrastructure of Embedded Systems is booming, e.g. by the use of Linux, uClinux, eCos, RedBoot, RTEMS and many other Free Software components. More companies are supporting Embedded Free Software every day because of the reliability and cheap licensing. This can be confirmed from looking at some high profile releases of embedded GNU/Linux systems. Some examples are the Nokia 770, some models of Motorola's smartphones and Archos media players. Not to forget the popular TomTom navigation system, the numerous SOHO routers and NAS devices based on linux. Operating System development has always been a very important topic in Free Software. As embedded and real-time systems typically have special OS requirements, we organise this Free Embedded and OS development track at FOSDEM to give people the opportunity to present their (or their teams) achievements. This track at FOSDEM provides a remarkable opportunity to present and discuss the ongoing work in these areas, and we invite developers to present their current projects. Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited to : * OS Development : kernel architecture and implementation, libraries, power management, TIPC, boot time and memory usage optimizations (e.g. Linux, BSD, uClinux, uClibc, newlib, slob allocator,...) * Practical experiences in implementing Free Software in embedded systems (e.g. reverse engineering, porting to (and adapting of) commercial devices like the Ipaq, linksys WRT54G, nlsu2 ) * Toolchain, performance testing and build environment (e.g. crosstool, emdebian, openembedded, PTX dist, packaging, scratchbox, Eclipse, Valgrind,...) * GUIs for embedded systems (Gtk, Qt-(embedded), GPE, Qtopia, UI design with touchscreen, Hildon GUI extensions, OpenMoko, OpenGL ES, ...) * Multimedia applications for embedded systems (e.g. integer only decoders, Opieplayer, gstreamer... ) * Real-time extensions, nanokernels and hardware virtualization software (e.g. RTAI, Adeos, KURT, L4, Qemu, User Mode Linux, VirtualLogix, high resolution timers, ...) * Hard real-time OS's (eCos, RTEMS, Real Time Linux,...) * Open hardware, DSP, softcores and general hardware management (e.g opencores.org, OpenRISC, leonSparc, FPGA's, specific design restrictions for free systems, DSP, Power management...) * Safety and security certifications applied to Free software (e.g. security measures in Embedded systems, TPM, SELinux for embedded, TrustZone, ...) * Tools and techniques for programming multicore systems * Free software licenses and embedded systems Authors that wish to present a topic are requested to submit their abstracts online to [EMAIL PROTECTED] before 14/01/2007.
