TinyOS
TinyOS is an open source, BSD-licensed operating system designed for low-power wireless devices, such as those used in sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, personal area networks, smart buildings, and smart meters. A worldwide community from academia and industry use, develop, and support the operating system as well as its associated tools, averaging 35,000 downloads a year. The transition to hosting at GitHub is now complete. Part of this transition includes slowly retiring TinyOS development mailing lists for bug tracking and issues to using the GitHub trackers. Thanks to all of the developers who are now improving TinyOS and requesting pulls!
