Contributing toProteanOS
ProteanOS needs innovative and knowledgable contributors who are interested in exploring new designs and solving interesting problems.Developers design and develop new and existing software in C and shell command language.Maintainers prepare packages of software programs and libraries.Technical writers develop specifi-cations and policies.See the wiki for more information: http://www.proteanos.com/dev/Join the developers on IRC: irc://chat.freenode.net/#libiquityHelp shape the future of this cutting-edge operating system! ProteanOS can be made to run on just about any hardware that can support an operating system and made to work with a variety of UNIX®-like kernels (currently supported is Linux®) and system libraries.ProteanOS and its programs and libraries can also be con-figured to serve virtually any use case. Flexibility
Freedom
All of the software in ProteanOS is free/libre and open source – it can be used, mod-ified, and distributed without restriction. This allows the developers to effectively support the software and ensures that vendors and users remain in control of the technology they use. ProteanOS
Size
ProteanOS is designed to be as small as possible. Only es-sential programs and libraries are installed by default. And each software package is stripped down as much as pos-sible.Additionally, many of the programs that ProteanOS provides are small yet fully-functional and designed with the resource constraints of embedded systems in mind. Speed
Many of the software packages provided by ProteanOS are built with per-formance optimizations, and ProteanOS as a whole is built to take advantage of all the best performance features available for the hardware on which it runs.And ProteanOS starts running in just a few seconds, thanks to its simple and lightweight boot process.
