Have you looked at the EROS project ? It is being produced by a
current IBM staffer. It is far more sophisticated than Linux or OS/2

The Extremely Reliable Operating System is an operating system built
from the ground up, and  provides formally verifiable security,
practical reliability, and high performance. 

" Jonathan Shapiro, Ph.D., is the key designer of EROS, a small,
capabilities-based open-source operating system notable for its secure
architecture. Shapiro began work on EROS as a graduate student at the
University of Pennsylvania along with colleagues  Sam Weber, Norm
Hardy, Jonathan Smith and Mike Berry. 

Shapiro is now a member of the research staff in the Pervasive
Computing Department at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Laboratories
in New York, where he works on secure and reliable operating systems."

After all, OS/2 is 16 years old now.
Operating system technology has moved on.

Time to put your efforts into something else perhaps ?

Another option is Plan 9 from Vita Nueva
