The HelenOS project\cite{helenos} is an effort to develop portable and general purpose operating system. Operating systems
in general are very non-trivial pieces of software. It takes many
people, many months and many tools to design and develop even medium size
and feature-limited kernel and userspace layer.
This report aims to document the development process of the HelenOS
operating system as it is specified in \cite{helenos-spec} and as it has been carried out by the original six developers (i.e. \JJ,
\OP, \MD, \JV, {\JC} and \SB) in their work on Software
project\footnote{Software project is the name of a subject at MFF UK. It is supposed to last two semesters at least.}
at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in
Prague. Other aspects of the wider HelenOS project (e.g. master theses
related to the topic) are not discussed here.
