Sovereign Computing

Goals and purposes

Build a stack of technologies that return control of the computer to the user. To teach the fundamentals of computing again, and to rebuild the human network we had in the late 90s and early 2000s. To build systems that teach themselves to the user and renew wonder in what new technologies are going to be developed.

We are in a time when governments are trying to regulate something they barely know anything about, even with available resources the gap is widening between what needs to be known and structured, and what needs to be left alone and what legislators are actually knowledgeable about. My goal is to change this through making these systems that will enable people who may not understand technology to understand it on their own level, and use the tech to reintroduce humanity into the net and computing in general. This is a long run project that I hope fixes a lot of modern computing's issues and brings back the edge it once had.

World Tree OS

• Linux distro and proof of concept for stand-alone OS project.
• Can be done alongside Nine Realms.

Nine Realms OS

• A from-scratch OS that uses what is tested in the open source World Tree project.
• This is not a Linux, BSD, or fork of an existing OS.
• This may not even be open source.
• Can be worked on alongside World Tree.

STORM

• Hardware spec groundwork can be laid during OS development with future prototyping after software is stable.

Needs

Technical writers

Technical writers that can take my idea and make the specs. I can write in general terms: behavior, program expectations, and the overarching philosophy of the project. I do not know how to write the technical documents that can get this project moving.

Coders who can explain

Coders that can explain to me how the code works (personal goal to learn). Primary languages are Python and Rust with others as they make sense for different parts of the project. I am familiar with logic flow and can follow it but I do not know any language syntax.

People who care about an open, interesting internet

People who believe that the internet needs to remain open and interesting, and that with a side channel, we can regain that freedom. This one is self explanatory. :P
