presentation by Samuel Thibault: GNU/Hurd DDE userland device drivers (slides, video)

We will explain how userland drivers are implement in GNU/Hurd thanks to the DDE layer, and what kernel support is needed for that. We will also show the flexibility this brings for the user.

A longer version of this talk (incl video) is also available at GHM 2013 archive
