B2G OS is a complete, standalone operating system for the open web. It is an open source project developed by the Mozilla community and forms the basis of Firefox OS products.

B2G is a community maintained open source operating system for smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and other connected devices. The project was started in 2011 and is based on the Linux kernel and Gecko rendering engine. The entire user interface is built using web technologies (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and can be used to launch and use web applications. Since Mozilla discontinued their commercial Firefox OS smartphone programme the smartphone part of the project is entirely maintained by Mozilla's volunteer community.

Note: Currently, B2G OS is in a transition phase. You can help us to get things done faster — see the "how you can help" section below. Also a Call for contributors has been made to gather more people, feel free to share it !
