Hi, I'm wondering about the future of Codezero project.
I recently bought a BeagleBoard-xM board and I have strong motivation to start doing something low level with it. I've already did some toying and learning to get into the subject and now I'd like to start doing something more useful. Ideally I'd like to develop a L4 kernel and if the fate allows connect it with my professional life. I have some embedded and Linux kernel experiences and quite a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge about low level programming and this is what I'm passionate about. And I'd really like to work with a Codezero as a starting base and just add my own things on top of it, but I'm unsure about how this project is going to be handled in the future. I really love how the Codezero is written: good plain C, well written self explaining code, etc. I dislike C++ and all L4 implementations around except for Codezero throw me off at the beginning. However I can see that current development of Codezero is being done ,,in the shadows'' with read-only releases to the Open Source community. Current git repository is 5 months old, the project status is unknown, on the development mailing list I can see only mails about releases and no discussion about technical concepts or development status. And the current git version does not even properly compile and have broken config scripts. It seems that because of B Labs. business reasons (which may be a fair and valid, but unknown to met) and the immaturity of the project (fast development pace) even if I create any changes there is a low chance it will be anything really useful. I could just start my own project which would be good for learning purposes and just steal bits of code from codezero, but this seems like a real waste. I'm perfectly aware that creating anything really useful as a part-activity in a single-man project is hard and I'd like to avoid it. So, are there any information on where can we expect Codezero 0.4 release and is there any chance for more collaboration inviting development model of Codezero? Honestly guys, what do you think?
