 1. Road map for 2024
 --------------------

 It is our fine tradition to sketch out our plans for the upcoming
 year on Genode's public mailing list. This year is no exception.
 During the annual brain-storming, our developer community quickly
 rallied behind the topic "Sculpt OS usability" as the primary theme
 for 2024. We desire to boost the user experience with respect to
 multi-monitor usage, user-interface controls for common tasks,
 thorough support for touchpads and touchscreens, tearing-free
 graphics, low-latency audio, casual on-target debugging, and
 suspend/resume. Our updated road map provides a rough schedule
 of these topics throughout the planned four releases of this year.

 Our main focus on usability notwithstanding, we will also steadily
 continue with the gardening of Genode's driver landscape, fostering
 the consistent use of drivers ported from up-to-date Linux kernels,
 clear-cut ACPI support, and making drivers pluggable. In 2024, we
 will also promote Genode's custom microkernel to become the default
 kernel for Sculpt OS, which is the culmination of a multi-year effort.


 2. Genode at FOSDEM 2024
 ------------------------

 Following up to the previous newsletter's invitation to the FOSDEM
 conference in Brussels during February 3 and 4, I am happy to
 announce two contributions from our team. Johannes will present our
 software development kit named Goa at the microkernel developer room.
 I will have the opportunity to present the outcome of our past year's
 phone-related work at the FOSS-on-Mobile developer room. The exact
 coordinates of both presentations are as follows.

 Saturday 15:30 at the FOSS-on-mobile devroom (H.1309)
 "Genode on the PinePhone on track to real-world usability"
 (presented by Norman Feske)

 Saturday 18:40 at the microkernel devroom (UD2.208)
 "Streamlining application development for Genode with Goa"
 (presented by Johannes Schlatow)
 https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3089-streamlining-application-development-for-genode-with-goa/

 For those of you who don't plan to attend FOSDEM in person, note
 that FOSDEM usually provides live streams of most talks.
