| + | [[en:about|osFree]] is a [[wp>FOSS|(Free Open Source software) operating system]] development project, aiming to replace eventually all [[wp>OS/2]] subsystems with Open source analogues. It aims for [[wp>OS/2]] Warp 4 (Merlin) as a base compatibility system, which does not mean that we will not support features of newer ([[OS/2 Warp Server for e-business]] and [[wp>eComStation]]) [[wp>OS/2]] versions. This includes rewriting not only user-level code but the [[wp>OS/2]] kernel too. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We're collecting existing code for [[wp>OS/2]] subsystems for years. Also we are developing our own bootloader named [[en:freeldr|FreeLdr]] and [[wp>OS/2]] personality for [[wp>L4_microkernel_family|L4 microkernel]], i.e. a number of servers, implementing the Control Program ([[wp>OS/2]] kernel) Interface functionality in userspace. See [[en:docs:general:index|osFree design and development concept]] for more details. [[irc://irc.inet.tele.dk/osfree|Visit the Chat Channel on the EFNET]] | ||

| + | Several projects with similar goals exist (or existed). [[en:docs:projects|Here]] is the brief comparison of goals and tasks of different projects. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Our project is reusing the code of many [[en:credits|opensource projects]]. | ||

| + | ==== Roadmap ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | We're now at the **alpha** stage, which means that the current version is **not feature-complete nor stable** and not recommended for everyday usage. The 0.0.x release series will still stay in alpha stage, and 0.9 release series will be marked as beta, meaning a system which is suitable for every day use. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The next release will be 0.0.5, with an earliest projected release date being December, 2009. See our [[en:roadmap|osFree roadmap]] for details. | ||
