[elysium-developers] Merging Apostle and Elysium

[Kasper V. L. <ve...@da...>]

Dear fellow developers,

In a matter of days the Elysium Project is going to merge with the Apostle
Project. Please read the attachment following my signature. If you have any
questions/doubts regarding the merge please let me -- or at your option the
entire mailing list -- know.

The plan is to combine our efforts to produce a GNU GPL'ed micro-kernel
(built on exokernel principles and the current Elysium design) suitable for
a wide variety of applications. As stated in the attachment the development
on the Elysium kernel will cease, but I expect to continue the Elysium
Project -- just for the sake of the name. The goal of the 'new' Elysium
Project will be to create an operating system environment based on the GNU
GPL'ed micro-kernel.

We need a good name for the micro-kernel -- any good suggestions?

/Kasper
