JetaOs -- Looking for contributers from MPGH

[radnomguywfq3]

Even though I don't think I'll get any applications from here, I thought I'd give you guys a chance to come aboard jetaos.

The project is still relatively small, and I'm not looking for a large staff primarily because I won't be able to manage a large staff.

All I'm looking for is people with programming experience in assembler(intel syntax) and C. If would be extremely helpful if you had experience with programming device drivers at least, or experience programming close to hardware. It would also be helpful if you understood how an OS manages it's memory, and other system resources, performs multi-threading, how virtual memory works, paging, etc.

Also, all development is being done on linux. Project members can use a different OS, but I won't be helping with any technical difficulties they come across.

Two programmers is all I'm really asking for.

The current state of the OS is:

• Bootsector completely written
• Installs and initializes a GDT
• Sets up a physical memory manager, locks all kernel memory regions(and other important regions) from being allocated
• Sets up an IDT, installs corresponding ISRs, remaps interrupts thrown by the pic, and installs their IRQ handlers.
• Programs pit, and sets up a kernel timing system
• Sets up a virtual memory manager(page table, and page directory table, allows allocation and deallocation of pages, handles page faults, etc..)
• Simple keyboard driver, video driver, PIC driver, and a PIT driver written.

At the moment I'm writing a virtual file system as well as an initrd, hopefully that'll be done within the next two days, then it will just be multi-threading, and then I plan to Sort out my own .dll format and my own executable file format, then setup something similar to window's SSDT. Then I'll go from there. I have like three upcoming presentations in school(which I suck at doing), so, idk.

Project:
jetaos.googlecode.com
SVN (Just setup the project site this night, need to go to bed >>. I'll setup SVN tomorrow):
jetaos.googlecode.com/svn

Can I redirect this to C++ section. I see alot of people in there lately. Why don't you just ask them. You know the people in general section don't know shit...

Jeremy, i can never understand posts like this; to a full extent. But they always sound so professional, I can't help but WANT to read them, they are the only intelligent post I see every once in a blue moon.

AAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH




at least this one got replies, lawl.

How long did what you do so far take you? And how long have you been programming? I'm nowhere near your level so i'd be less than useless.

i didnt think you could suck at anything

[why06]

I doubt I can help. All my programming experience is from HLL, but I'll sticky this for a while. Hopefully you'll find someone who can help.

You could try B1ackAnge1, he has alot of knowledge and works with hardware almost daily i think ^^

[radnomguywfq3]

Thanks guys .

I remember writing my own OS (& compiler) back in College - Fun project(s)
(even had my own search engine before google hit it big that I scrapped, because "who would be interested in a search engine??" doh!)

I'd be interested, but I unfortunately already barely have the time to work
on my own projects (& work takes up a good 50+hrs a week already)
Hope you find some people to help you out!
