# Multiserver, Microkernel-Based Operating Systems Devroom
[Announcement](https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/microkernel-devroom/2012-October/000054.html).
Talk proposal:
title: Latest news about GNU/Hurd
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. 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, 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, 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.
