ZeppelinOS: tools for smart contract applications

Sounds interesting and important, but you probably need a new term for this category of software. "OS" is taken, and it means something else.

Also it's built on top of Ethereum Virtual Machine. Quick look at http://ethdocs.org/en/latest/introduction/what-is-ethereum.h..., which calling that a VM from what I read isn't screaming VM to me, more like a distributed computing application.

Which sense of virtual machine do you mean? There are already at least two. One is a virtualization thing like VMware. Ethereum is not that. The other sense is a bytecode interpreter/compiler like the Java Virtual Machine. Ethereum is like that. Except that it duplicates computations across many physical machines.

Should be OSS. What is strange is that the refer to the core of their software as a "Kernel".

OSS meaning operational support system?
