+# Multiserver, Microkernel-Based Operating Systems Devroom
+
+[Announcement](https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/microkernel-devroom/2012-October/000054.html).
+
+Talk proposal:
+
+title: The GNU/Hurd architecture, nifty features, and latest news
+
+Full name: Samuel Thibault
+
+Short abstract:
+GNU/Hurd aims at being a general-purpose Operating System with a strong emphasis
+on flexibility and freedom for the user, and thus based on a design made
+of a micro-kernel surrounded by a hird of userland servers. It has however
+a long-term vaporware reputation; development has indeed been relatively
+dormant for some time, but recent regain of interest has brought interesting
+improvements and stabilization, to the point that there will be a non-official
+release of the GNU/Hurd variant of Debian Wheezy, with about 75% of the Debian
+packages, including classical graphical desktop application (gnome, gnumeric,
+firefox, ...)
+
+This talk will present to GNU/Hurd in general and its "translator" mechanism
+which replaces the traditional notion of filesystem by userland processes, so
+as to provide strong flexibility to users and administrators, and we will demo
+it live. The subhurd/neighborhurd mechanism, a very natural way to provide
+virtualization container support on GNU/Hurd, will also be presented.  We will
+also present recent developments, notably in terms of DDE device drivers run as
+userland processes, and discuss about maintenance of DDE.

+Duration: 
+30m, 45m?
