Filesystem in Userspace is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

OProfile is a low-overhead, transparent profiler for Linux. It is capable of instruction-grain profiling of all processes, shared libraries, the kernel, and device drivers, via the hardware performance counters.

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 symmetric multiprocessing, multithreaded pre-emptive ... [More] 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]

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 supports SMP, multitasking and multithreading on ... [More] 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]

The Managed Operating System Alliance (MOSA) Framework is a set of operating system components, compiler tools and libraries for managed operating systems based on the Common Intermediate Language and .NET technology. We provide the foundation for other projects, such as SharpOS and Ensemble OS.

Ensemble is an effort to write the next generation operating system using CIL compliant languages (currently only C#). The main focus of Ensemble is to write an consumer- and enterprise-level operating system that can be used in the real world.

The Linux Cross-Reference project is the testbed application of a general hypertext cross-referencing tool. Its main goal is to create a versatile cross-referencing tool for relatively large code repositories. The main feature of the indexer is the ... [More] ability to jump easily to the declaration of any global identifier. Quick access to function declarations, data (type) definitions and preprocessor macros makes code browsing more convenient. At-a-glance overview of which code areas will be affected by changing a function or type definition should also come in useful during development and debugging. [Less]

Photon .NET is an opinionated approach on the efficient infrastructure development for the modular and extensible .NET applications.

leJOS is a Java-based replacement firmware (OS) for the Lego Mindstorms RCX, a programmable brick with 32 Kb of RAM, which is included in Lego's Robotics Invention System. leJOS supports threads, exceptions, synchronization, floating point ... [More] arithmetic, strings, and so on, but there is no garbage collection yet. leJOS is also designed to be portable to other small devices. [Less]
