Roadmap

Go-OS alpha 1

Planned: April 2009 REACHED

• Runs on emulators, plus test hardware
• Only a shell (or maybe more)
• USB EHCI Support
• USB Mass Storage support
• Working scheduler (we have issues with the current one)
• Partial network support (UDP, IPv4... and maybe ICMP & TCP)

Go-OS alpha 2

Planned: August 2009

• Runs perfectly on QEmu/VMWare and test hardware
• Basic end-user experience (keyboard/mouse, desktop, simple GUI, and a few applications)
• Advanced developpers experience (Free SDK, glibc ported, and most of the gfx api implemented)

We'll release a version of Go-OS once this step has been reached, and let everyone start using it and make/port software for Go-OS.

• Able to run most linux applications
• Correct GUI

Go-OS beta

Planned: Before 2011
