Jari OS becomes completely independent project.

Mon, 11/02/2009 - 11:58 — root

Sponsorship of the project was terminated, and at the moment the development of the project occurs independently.
Plans for the first stable release remain unchanged, but the directions of the project will be changed.
One of the first purposes are flexibility and scalability of the operating system, it must be able to create a platform for a variety of groups of developers.
The starting point is the ability to run Jari OS on SBC (such as Vortex86-based boards).
The project will pursue the following objectives:

  •   Flexibility
  •   Scalability
  •   A guaranteed response to system events
  •   Full support for POSIX
  •   Documented library and SDK

The project has a few opened tasks, the list is here. There are a list of tasks/subprojects with highest priority:

  • i386(x86_32) porting
  • help with networking development
  • full limits support

In addition, the project will be carried out other research projects in the field of operating systems:

  • Namespaces, proxies, translators
  • Distributed file system
  • Self repairing of fallen services
  • The high degree of survivability (non-fatal hardware loss, subsystem fails and so on)
  • Capability based security model
  • WAN distributed system

Research project has a lowest priority and will appears later.

 

Thanks.
