Last time, we had 12 people joining, discussion roughly 50/50 about verification and
systems topics. We did not end up discussing boot code in great detail, because the people
who were most interested in that couldn't make it on that day, but we talked about
various stages board support for seL4, about OS personalities on top of seL4, and Nick
gave a bit of an overview of the Icecap project which uses Rust to good effect on top of
seL4. (This is not a complete list of topics, just a high-level impression)
Cheers,
Gerwin

Hi seL4 devs,
a few of us thought it might be nice to talk more directly from time to time rather than
only via pull requests, so we're trialling a seL4 developer hangout/video chat.
The idea for this is to be:
- informal, about 1h
- for technical discussions about seL4 and related repositories
- anyone can join
- every two weeks, initially for 3 times, then we can decide how we like it
At least one or two technical steering committee (TSC) members will try to be at every
one of these, but these are not TSC meetings where formal decisions are made, just
technical discussions about whatever people have on their minds.
To provide a starting topic, one thing we'd be interested in is:
seL4 boot code
There have been quite a few pull requests in that area, and it'd be nice to know
what people's plans are and how we can keep this part of seL4 high assurance while
making it more flexible. Other topics for future meetings could be better support for
other language bindings (e.g. Rust), any RFCs that are open or people are thinking about
opening, or just discussions about current pull requests or issues.
The first hangout is on
- Sydney: Wed, Nov 3, 8am
- Central Europe: Tue, Nov 2, 10pm
- US East Coast: Tue, Nov 2, 2pm
