# 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 has 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.

This talk will present to GNU/Hurd in general and its "translator" mechanism
which provides strong flexibility to users and administrators, as well as demo
it live.

It 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?
