eyeos is an Open Source Platform designed to hold a wide variety of Web Applications over it. eyeos was thought as a new definition of Operating System, where everything inside it can be accessed from everywhere trought a web browser.

The goal of the Syllable project is to create a family of easy-to-use free software operating systems. It is the continuation of the BeOS-like AtheOS. Syllable Desktop has its own C kernel with ... [More] symmetric multiprocessing, multithreaded pre-emptive multitasking, high POSIX compliancy, 64-bit journaled filesystem (AFS) with metadata, an integrated native GUI architecture with an object-oriented C++ API, SDL, singular native toolkit and multi-user desktop environment. The system seeks to be an integrated, lightweight, easy-to-program, powerful, high-performance graphical desktop environment which avoids legacy OS paradigms that frustrate developers and have hindered the computing masses' adoption of a free-software desktop. Syllable Server is a matching small and efficient Linux server. [Less]

Jari OS is a real-time microkernel operating system which runs in terms of multi-service architecture. Core system consists of its own microkernel μString, core and system services, set of device ... [More] drivers launched as trusted services. Our system is a pure microkernel and multi-service OS. All work is made via trusted services, and each service works within its own address space, and in this case Jari OS is a pure multi-service OS. Jari OS provide POSIX API for threads, files, networking, timers, memory operations. [Less]

The HelenOS project is an effort to develop a complete and usable modern operating system, yet offering room for experimenting and research. HelenOS uses its own microkernel written from scratch and ... [More] supports SMP, multitasking and multithreading on both 32-bit and 64-bit, little-endian and big-endian processor architectures, among which are AMD64/EM64T (x86-64), ARM, IA-32, IA-64 (Itanium), 32-bit MIPS, 32-bit PowerPC, SPARC V9 and Xen 3.0. Thanks to the relatively high number of supported architectures and suitable design, HelenOS is extremely-well portable. [Less]
