Title
beunited.org - Open Standards BeOS-compatible Operating Systems
Description
About
beunited.org, established in 1999, is an independent, non-profit organization working to define and promote open specifications for the delivery of an Open Standard BeOS-compatible Operating System (OSBOS) platform for personal computers in consumer and business environments. beunited.org works to proliferate these open specifications through the sponsorship of technology, market, user education, and support programs.
When Be Inc was the sole developer of the BeOS it was possible for Be to determine how BeOS was constructed. Now, with many separate projects underway, there is a possibility that the design and behavior of the separate projects will not be compatible, thus introducing fragmentation. This fragmentation has the potential to cause incompatiblities between applications, system components, and provide a generally poor user experience thus limiting the adoption of the OSBOS platform.
The goal of beunited.org is to provide a forum for the development of a consistent, open specification for the OSBOS platform to increase the demand for products and services based on this platform worldwide. By providing a common, unified and community-represented body, beunited.org will publish and accredit OSBOS distributions for the benefit of the Be Community.
