ExectOS Operating System

Contributing to ExectOS

The ExectOS project and CodingWorkshop Team always seek new contributors from all skill levels. No matter if you are a developer, tester, designer, or techwriter, your contributions are always appreciated.

Software Developers

We are always looking for people proficient in C and/or Assembly, especially familiar with tools such as Bochs, Qemu, or VirtualBox. Writing an Operating System is not a beginner’s task. In fact, writing an Operating System is usually considered the most difficult programming task. Join the exclusive ranks of people knowing OSDev concepts, and yet smaller ranks of people knowing the secrets of NT™ architecture.

Testers

No software is usable if it is found to be unstable. Writing an Operating System, is yet more complex task. Tester role is responsible for assisting the development process by running builds and providing a feedback. All and any information about issues you encountered during this process can be reported. The more detailed report is, the easier it will be to fix it. At least basic knowledge in collecting information from a crash, like backtraces and knowledge of using debugger will help you. When submitting issues, take care that the bug report is not a duplicate of an already existing, open issue. You should always follow the template specified for issues in our Gitea.

Technical Writers

As a team, we focus mostly on OS development. We are looking for some creative people to update and write documentation, post content to this website as well as social media accounts to promote ExectOS. New web site design ideas and bug fixes are as well welcome.

Community Managers

The ExectOS community keeps in touch via Discord. Community Manager role is responsible to keep people involved, keep discussions going and moderate.
