<mediaitem title="ReactOS - An Open Source OS Platform for Learning">
<abstract>
<p>The ReactOS operating system has been in development for over eight years and aims to provide
users with a fully functional and Windows-compatible distribution under the GPL license. ReactOS
comes with its own Windows 2003-based kernel and system utilities and applications, resulting in
an environment identical to Windows, both visually and internally.
<br/><br/>
More than just an alternative to Windows, ReactOS is a powerful platform for academia, allowing
students to learn a variety of skills useful to software testing, development and management, as
well as providing a rich and clean implementation of Windows NT, with a kernel compatible to
published internals book on the subject.
<br/><br/>
This talk will introduce the ReactOS project, as well as the various software engineering
challenges behind it. The building platform and development philosophies and utilities will be
shown, and attendees will grasp the vast amount of effort and organization that needs to go into
building an operating system or any other similarly large project. The speaker will gladly answer
questions related to his background, experience and interests and information on joining the
project, as well as any other related information.
<br/><br/>
Slides from the talk are available
