You might noticed something like this on your favourite forums:
Yes, that's the "New kid in the block" of BSD based OS. I've been mailing with developer of this new OS and here is the result.
Q: What was the idea behind first JabirOS?
Q: Later,
you changed from Linux to FreeBSD. What were the reasons for this
change? What do you find better with FreeBSD in comparison with Linux?
Jabir Technologies Foundation is proud to announce the first release of JabirBSD.
After a year of development, We decided to use BSD in our projects. Now we have created JabirBSD as a rebrand of “FreeBSD” . after a while , we’ll fork it from FreeBSD and we’ll create a new BSD variant like “DragonFly” .
Now you can download and test version “1.0″ of JabirBSD .

Q: Before going into details, could you please shortly introduce yourself
and project?
and project?
A: Hi All. I'm Muhammadreza Haghiri , I was born in 1996 and I'm Linux/BSD user/developer.
I started Jabir Project at 2011 as a Desktop OS , and in 2012 , I released the 1st Version of JabirOS (based on Ubuntu, Debian). After a while we decided to use other open source operating systems for base. and I started research about "BSD" family. in 2013 , I released JabirBSD as a test and it will be turned to JabirOS (as a fork of FreeBSD).

Q: I see you are very young, what is your occupation now?
A: My Occupation is now student. I study mathematics in high-school .

A: A
professional hobby first , but after a while I decided to optimize it
for beginners , and Jabir Project targets beginner and professional
users at a way.
A: Ok ,
FreeBSD is better than Linux. because FreeBSD is more Unix compatible
than Linux . Also , I'm interested in BSD(Simplified) License.
Q: The first release, as your website says, is rebrand of FreeBSD. Later you want to fork it. What is the reason to fork it?
A: Many reasons. but main reasons are :
A)JabirOS won't be a FreeBSD variant. It will be a desktop & server oriented BSD variant.
B)We want to do many changes on kernel. I don't think FreeBSD team accepts these changes.

Q: Can you be more specific about changes you want to make?
A: can't explain anymore, because they're secret parts of our project.
Q: Does this mean that your OS will be closed source software and you wont share it with community?
A: Team (Me,
Reza and Mohamad) don't decide to share sources or close them. but all
parts of FreeBSD aren't BSD Licensed. It has a lot of GPL Licensed parts
like gcc.
But, I promise you we won't release a closed operating system.
Ideas and Secrets are private , but sources will be public ;-)

Q: How will JabirBSD differ from other FreeBSD based OSes like PC-BSD, GhostBSD or DesktopBSD? How do you want to attract users?
A: JabirBSD
(or JabirOS) will actract users automatically. Because we optimized it
for all kind of users. As fact, we have a development method like "Arch
Linux" or "Slackware Linux".
Q: Slogan at your website says: 'Avoid the pain of everything that say “is not Unix”'. Can you explain what led to it?
A: "Every thing is not unix" means any Unix like project that say "*** is not Unix". can you guess what's that?
Q: Parts of your website and forums are in Persian. What will be the relationship of JabirBSD and Persian language?
A: Ha Ha! I'm Iranian and I speak Persian.
Q:
So primary JabirBSD language will be English or Persian? There are
speculations JabirBSD will be FreeBSD variant for Persian users.
A: Nope.
JabirOS isn't the "FreeBSD for Persian users.". Because "FreeBSD for
Persian users" doesn't need "Forking". It can be a pure FreeBSD (or
other FreeBSD re-spins like GhostBSD) with a collection of Persian
localizations. One of our targets is "BSD for Persian users" but it is
not our main target ;).
Thanks for interview!
