What features do you see benefiting you the most? How close do you think Redox is to allowing you to spend a majority of development time in Redox?

The fact it is minimalist. #DistractionFree
Hello everyone, my name is Nikola and I’m software developer and student in Secondary School of Electrical Engineering in Serbia. I have experience with system programming and C, C++ and Assembly and I’m interested in learning Rust and contributing to this project 
Hi,
i am human who lived in south korea,
want to use redox in real life.
currently running alpinelinux.
interested in open source hardware like riscv, opensparc, etc.
(NO amd, intel, big company cpu).
keep up good work!
thank you.

Hello anyone!
I’m Jakit, an full-lang lover, also full stack programmer. I can programming with above all of popular languages.
I’m just interested in this project, because of I found that Minix can not be my daily system, so that I get there.
Just OK… = =||
I hope that Redox can be a platform using for daily programming for me.
Hello there!
I’m k0pernicus, a French Rust, Ocaml and Python developer.
I contributed a few times to Redox-OS in 2015 and 2016 - I am interested in Machine Learning, Compilers and Operating Systems.
I hope that my help will be useful to the community - personaly, one of my new year’s resolution is to contribute a lot to Redox, and help to make the better OS that is possible
See you!
H,
I’m Daan. I am reading through the book as a in between assignments job. It looks nice. My rust is hardly there but I like to learn new languages once in a while over the last twenty years 50% of my time went into java and related stuff.
one question: the books speaks of ‘pick the icon with Na on it’. I can not find it. The editor I can find is visual and has no vi like interface. I ran from source in qemu. Any clue for the clueless?
two question: any known installations of production machines known yet (I’m not through the book yet so kick me if it is in there)?
Good evening,
I’m drheart. I intend on using and improving Redox to work on a homebuilt cellphone. My platform is based on the Intel Compute Stick, so no ARM porting will be necessary, but I’ll need to do loads of driver work. It’s not my first foray into OS-level development, and it certainly won’t be my last.
Hello !
I’m Sanjay, I was wrapping my head around Linux From Scratch when I heard of this project, and have since decided to shift my learning to this project.
I’m into systems research and have experience in programming GPUs. I’ve also been learning Rust and have slowly learned to appreciate its design. I’m looking forward to contributing to concurrency in the kernel and I’d be enthusiastic to speak to the developers working in this aspect of the kernel.
Thank You !
Hi, I am José, last year I worked porting newlib and pthread-emb to a new FPGA architecture based on MIPS (University job). Part of this work consisted in modifying a kernel to provide enough functionality for newlib and pthread-emb libraries to work.
If you need help supporting pthreads.h in redox I would be glad to help.

That would be awesome! If you want to be part of our developer chat, send me an email at info@redox-os.org
Redox supports a subset of clone and futex, so it should be possible to port pthreads.
Hi there! I’m Clint. I met Jeremy Soller today at the SoCal Linux Expo and he got me all excited about Redox. I just submitted my first PR (to a bash script, doh). Anyway, I’ve written one thing in Rust so far, it’s called ‘rustygear’ and it’s a port of gearmand to Rust. https://github.com/SpamapS/rustygear. I hope to be able to add a bit to Redox, though I have 4 kids and a demanding job at IBM, so spare time for hacking is rare.
Hi,
my name is Nicola, an italian software engineer, i’m interested in Operating System from 1996. In the past i wrote some Linux driver, in these days i develop/embedded for mobile (native or with Qt) . My interest is also in web backend (and a bit of front-end). I hope can help this project.
I’m Steven (or Jack) and I’m a developer with my ms/bs in computer science but I’ve been doing web development for the past 10 years or so and I’m really looking to get back into the nitty-gritty fun things and Redox has just re-sparked my flame. I look forward to contributing in about any capacity and am super stoked.
Hi, I’m Daylen and have been interested in Redox for some time. I really want to contribute but have been a bit intimidated since I haven’t contributed to a project before. I hope that I will be of some use!
Hey all, new user here generally interested in computers
Hey im Laurence. I’ve been watching this project for a while. I’m hoping to help with my (limited) rust skills.
Hello!
I’m insidious, a University student studying Computer Science (currently in my second year) interested in all things Open Source (and most recently Redox, apparently).
I heard about Rust a while ago, have always wanted to contribute but was never sure how to jump in. I’ve been researching OS dev for a while, have taken the OS class at my Uni, so i figured I might as well at least try and jump in (at the very least, I can help with that slick Hugo site you guys have going ;-)).
My interests lie with Decentralized Application Development/Cryptocurrencies, Systems Programming, Cybersec/Networking, Artificial Intelligence, Web Development (only because it makes me money…) and some blogging.
Hope to see you all around!

Hi everyone!
A few days ago I watched Bryan Lunduke’s interview with Jeremy, and it inspired me to actually try out Redox (I had heard of it and looked at screenshots before, but no more than that). I had to wait a day to get a nightly that wouldn’t crash with an ICE when compiling Redox, but after that was out of the way, running Redox was the simplest thing in the world!
I’m a huge Rust fan, and I’m kind of curious about OS / kernel development. Also, package management seems like a very interesting thing. So I hope I will manage to get off my ass and actually contribute to this amazing project. The first step (asking for a mattermost invite) is already done
