FOSDEM 2014 - CfP: Microkernels / Component-based OSes devroom

Fellow Operating System Hackers,

built on the success of the microkernel devroom in the last years, FOSDEM 2014 [1] will host a devroom for developers of open-source microkernel- and component-based operating systems.

The devroom is scheduled for Sunday, February 2nd, 2014. We are looking for talks in all areas related to microkernels and component-based operating systems. Possible subjects include, but are not limited to:

- introduction of a specific OS or framework, - design of subsystems and general architecture of an OS, - hardware support, - success stories, experiences and lessons learned, - security and robustness, - improving the toolchain, - maintainance and testing, - higher-level languages for OS implementation, - community building.

To submit a talk, please create an account at the conference's submission system [2] and select the devroom as the talk's track. Should there be any problems, please send a mail to the devroom mailing list [3]. In your submission, be sure to include:

- Title and approximate length of the talk (in the General tab), - the correct track (also in the General tab), - a short abstract (in the Description tab).

Talks should not exceed 45 minutes. To help us schedule, please indicate whether your talk is flexible in its length. Please submit your proposals before December 1st. We will announce acceptance and hopefully a rough schedule before Christmas.

Of course, there are other ways to contribute and make this event a success, for example by doing a demo of your system. Small devices are no problem, but please check back with us, if you plan to bring larger equipment.

Please forward this Call for Participation to anyone interested in participating!

See you in Brussels, Julian Stecklina
