"skiftOS: Building a microkernel-based operating system from the ground up" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 12:30, 30 minutes, K.4.201, K.4.201, Microkernel and Component-Based OS Clémence , slides , video

This talk gives an overview of skiftOS’s architecture, focusing on its microkernel core and service model. It explores the design trade-offs behind keeping the kernel minimal yet practical, and the lessons learned from building a complete, usable operating system on top of it.

The session is aimed at developers interested in microkernels, operating system internals, and the challenges of scaling a small core into a functional ecosystem.
