About Haiku
The Haiku Project is a volunteer based initiative and was started on August 18th, 2001. The goal of the project is to develop and promote the adoption of Haiku, an open source, general purpose operating system. Haiku adopts design concepts from the BeOS® and takes it to the next level by infusing those concepts with recent advances in technology.
We would like to thank all donors enabling development contracts funded through Haiku, Inc. and Haikuware's bounty program, the HSA for organizing the BeGeistert conferences, and Google's Summer of Code and Google Code-in programs.
