Google is now calling for extra hands on deck to help with Fuschia’s development; so it’s not just some project which has since been abandoned. Google has “created new public mailing lists for project discussions, added a governance model to clarify how strategic decisions are made and opened up the issue tracker for public contributors to see what’s being worked on.” At a guess, Fuschia appears to be a lightweight OS designed for IoT/edge devices. The OS has been tested on Google’s own IoT devices like smart speakers, but those released so far haven’t used Fuschia when they hit the market. The company has released a technical roadmap for Fuschia, but it doesn’t give anything away. The roadmap mentions things like “a driver framework for updating the kernel independently of the drivers” and the “Fuchsia Interface Definition Language,” which suggests the project is quite far from being production-ready. You can head on over to Fuchsia.dev to grab the source code and learn how to set up an emulator if you’re interested in helping to build… whatever this is.
