Hello, You may have noticed that I will be giving a talk about GNU/Hurd at fosdem on sunday in the micro-kernel room:
https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/7FZXHF-updates_on_gnuhurd_progress_rump_drivers_64bit_smp_software_bootstrapping/ The abstract is of course just a teaser with the main points I could quickly think of. Below is the list of things I think I'll at least mention (yes, it's long since we haven't had a fosdem talk since 2022), with credits to contributors. Could people help me with adding anything very important that I would have missed? (though I won't be able to talk about everything) And somebody that I'd have unfortunately forgotten?
