Genode Labs at FOSDEM 3. Invitation to this year's Hack'n'Hike 1. Road map for 2020 -------------------- For our community, commercial Genode users, and us developers alike, it is important to know where Genode is heading. At each turn of the year, we jointly draft a rough plan for the upcoming 12 months. After having kicked off the public discussion on our mailing list end of December and collecting ideas over the following 3 weeks, we condensed the ideas in the form of our official road map: https://genode.org/about/road-map Our primary ambition will be the removal of the hurdles faced by aspiring developers and users. We will approach this goal in four ways: Making Sculpt OS more user friendly, reinforcing trust in Genode by fostering the framework's high quality, making the tooling around Genode a joy to use, and by presenting tangible use cases. Besides this overall theme, we plan to continue our commitment to the NXP i.MX SoC family and extend the cultivation of Ada/SPARK within (and on top of) Genode. 2. Genode Labs at FOSDEM ------------------------ FOSDEM 2020 in Brussels is just around the corner. We are pleased to announce three talks by Genode Labs: On Saturday, February 1, Martin Stein will present his experimental kernel named Spunky, which is a re-implementation of Genode's custom kernel in Ada/SPARK: https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/ada_spunky/ On Sunday, February 2, Norman Feske will give a live demonstration of our Sculpt operating system: https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/uk_sculpt/ Stefan Kalkowski will pick up the torch from Norman, presenting our recent development of running Genode on 64-bit ARM platforms: https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/uk_genode_armv8/ We are looking forward to meet you at FOSDEM! https://fosdem.org/2020/ 3. Invitation to this year's Hack'n'Hike ---------------------------------------- The Genode Hack'n'Hike is certainly the most anticipated community event for us developers. Once a year, we gather at a scenic place, enjoy our time together while hiking at daylight, and pursue Genode projects at night time. The event is open for everyone interested in Genode development. In particular for newcomers, it is the perfect way to become part of our community. This year's Hack'n'Hike will take place during *May 8 to May 11* in eastern Saxony/Germany. The event is sponsored by Genode Labs. There is no registration fee. If you like to participate, please register by commenting at the corresponding topic on our issue tracker linked below.
