This is the wrong forum for this but I don't want to discourage anyone from contributing to a FLOSS project. :) RTEMS.org is a real-time OS of similar age as RDOS. Our origin is also 1988. We support almost 20 target architectures and ~200 BSPs. RTEMS is a single address space, multi-threaded RTOS and has a significant amount of POSIX support. We have multiple filesystems, networking, SMP, etc. We have regularly participated in Google Summer of Code and keep an active list of open projects and smaller tasks. We keep these as tickets and this page provides a list of them. We are also open to other ideas: https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/OpenProjects Like RDOS, it is harder to find work on the core itself but there are lots of other areas to contribute. In fairness, there are lots of free OS projects out there, each with a different mission and targeted set of users. Find one that interests you. Those that have participated in student programs like GSoC are going to tend to have open projects pages. --joel RTEMS > > Regards, > Leif Ekblad > > --- > > > On 2021-03-04 07:02, Suhan Gautam via Gcc wrote: > > Dear Sir, > > I am persuing B.
