Are you living in Europe? Then you should visit, read and understand the
material presented at this
site. It is all about software patents in Europe. Because this project is
developed in Europe, a failure to stop software patents in Europe will result
in immediate shutdown of this project, because I don't want to spend the rest
of my life in a prison.
Project status
Current development speed: Totally halted
Current project status: Documenting the project vision
Current development status
Currently I need to design the core functionality of the OSHS system (more
info here).
More specifically I need to design the part of this core functionality that
deals with processes and their communication and also the core OSHS protocols
used to basic things like file I/O and similar. Once this is done and done
properly, these things should never change (only get extended). This will
allow OSHS software to run on top of other operating systems without any
changes
Another thing I need to design is a new system integration language that will
meet the criteria of the OSHS project. This system integration language will
declare a standard of how to write software for OSHS so that users can easily
compile and install. There is no such thing with acceptable quality
More info about what I currently have is
here. The bad news for this is
that there are no things to build on them or to reuse for this problem. All
efforts to solve this software integration problem are either of very poor
quality (for example in Windows a great deal of the software integration work
is offloaded to the software installer), inflexible or badly off course due
to extremely obsolete design of some core tools needed for the software
integration (for example the RPM system's build process and its spec file
must deal with obsolete design of the compiler(s) used and the extremely
obsolete UNIX build system called make which ages back to days
when computers had 64KiB (yes, KILObytes) of system RAM).
Even when the OSHS project is in the planning stage now, there is something
you may find interesting:
-
The current version of the
documentation pages
They are constantly changing as the OSHS design gets improved and sometimes
may go out of sync with the current "cutting edge" of the OSHS software, so be
patient with it. All documentation there is provided under the terms of the
GNU Free Documentation License.
-
The OSHS software snapshot
For those too impatient to wait for an official release. It includes the
core OSHS libraries and some (currently very few) OSHS utilities.
The software is for developer's purposes only and is very unstable; don't use
it in "critical missions" yet.
