[PLUG] [plug-announce] Tue, Feb 13, 2018: PLUG North - "Intro to anykernels using rump kernels" by Charlie Li (6:30pm at CoreDial in Blue Bell)

["Paul L. Snyder" <paul@pataprogramming.com>]

PLUG North will be meeting on Tuesday, February 13 at CoreDial's
offices in Blue Bell, beginning at 6:30 pm. Directions to the
meeting location can be found at the end of this email.  

This month, PLUG West welcomes back Charlie Li.  He will be
discussing rump kernels as a starting point for anykernels.

  Anykernels are a technology that allows one to write drivers
  that can be compiled into a monolothic kernel or run as a
  userspace process. 

  Rump kernels are particular implmentations of the anykernel
  concept that utilize either BSD or Linux kernel code as a
  componentized base to handle core capabilities such as file I/O
  and standard protocol stacks. Custom drivers can then be
  written to run in userspace, increasing security. Rump
  kernels attempt to build on the best of monolithic and
  microkernel architecture, aiming for reduced size, improved
  code portability, increased performance, reduced frequency of
  patch patching, and significant reduction of attack vectors

At 6:30, prior to the main meeting, we'll assemble in CoreDial's game room
for shuffleboard, pool, and conversation

The meeting will take place from 6:30-9pm (6:30-7 games and conversation,
7-8 General Q&A, 8-9 Presentation) at CoreDial's office space in Blue
Bell, PA.
