LibertyOS needs Rustaceans to take this operating system to another level!

217 points dptzippy

Hello there! I am Daniel, and I am the creator, and lead-developer of LibertyOS. LibertyOS is an operating system, written in Rust, that I created out of a strong desire to write my own operating system. After nearly a decade of wanting to create an OS, I discovered Rust, and I realized that I could finally accomplish my goal.

​

In recent weeks, LOS has really been "blowing up" in popularity. The official Discord group has over 40 members, the repository has \~140 stars, and I just did an interview on a Rust-centered podcast (I don't know if I can say which one, but there aren't too many).

​

We have plenty of idea guys, which is a wonderful thing, but I am still the only person who knows how to develop the actual kernel. I don't know if this is the right place to do so, but I am asking for any help that this community can provide. More specifically, I am looking for people who know Rust, understand the basics of an operating system, know how to work without the standard library, and want to make something awesome.

​

If you cannot help, that is fine. I would ask that you still check out the repository, and maybe join the Discord group so we can all hang out. I am not giving up (I am far more interested in this project than ever before), but the project has really been doing well lately, and I could really use some help. :)

The repository is https://github.com/LibertyOS-Development/kernel

Thank you all! I love this community, and I look forward to sharing the awesome stuff that comes out of this project!

P.S. We are thinking of changing the name. We need something related to the concept of liberty, privacy, etc., so if you have an idea for a better name, please let me know! :)
