Sorry for taking a while to response, but I just found these.

Apparently some people has already started it with osFree :

Another similar project is FreeOS/2 (more serious I guess...) :
http://www.freeos.cjb.net/

Also, unixos2 and os2ports develop ports of open source apps for OS/2 :
http://www.unixos2.org/
http://os2ports.com/

mmelby, maybe you don't need to phase them out just yet...

Peace always,
