+The Contiki Operating System
+============================
+
+[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/contiki-os/contiki.png)](http://travis-ci.org/contiki-os/contiki)
+
+Contiki is an open source operating system that runs on tiny low-power
+microcontrollers and makes it possible to develop applications that
+make efficient use of the hardware while providing standardized
+low-power wireless communication for a range of hardware platforms.
+
+Contiki is used in numerous commercial and non-commercial systems,
+such as city sound monitoring, street lights, networked electrical
+power meters, industrial monitoring, radiation monitoring,
+construction site monitoring, alarm systems, remote house monitoring,
+and so on.
