Haiku is an open-source desktop operating system with the goal to create an innovative and seamless computing experience. Our first release will be an improved remake of BeOS R5, which was a ... [More] commercial operating system created by Be Inc. After the company closed its doors a group of developers decided to continue the BeOS as an open source effort. [Less]

The SharpOS Project is a community effort to write an operating system in .NET, with a strong sense of security and managability. Please note that the GPLv3 license includes the Classpath Linking Exception.

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]

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 ... [More] .NET technology. We provide the foundation for other projects, such as SharpOS and Ensemble OS. [Less]

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.

Brainix is a microkernel-based, Unix-like operating system. It includes support for virtual memory, preemptive multitasking, asynchronous message passing, and the ext2 file system. It was written ... [More] from scratch and runs on IA-32 (x86) computers. Brainix was inspired by (but shares no code with) Minix. Brainix boots, initializes its sub-systems, then passes messages. It isn't mature enough to support a shell, but its developers are active. [Less]

A small, micro-kernel based operating system built in managed code.

IncOS is a simple microkernel-based operating system which should once support as much as possible of the POSIX standard to run existing applications. It is mostly there for learning purposes and for ... [More] trying out new concepts on the x86 and amd64 platforms. [Less]
