This appears to be based on Firefox OS (aka "Boot to Gecko" B2G). Unfortunately, that was terminated Sept. 2016 [1]. The links to FOS on the JanOS site (such as "View porting instructions" on the Device List page) no longer work, though there is still a home page on Mozilla [2].
Edit: JanOS project looks to be zombied. The "Read more on our blog" link on the front page returns "Server Not Found".
