The Real-Time Linux Collaborative Project
The Linux Foundation has announced
the formation of a collaborative project to support the ongoing development
of the realtime kernel patch set. "The RTL Collaborative Project
will focus on pushing critical code upstream to be reviewed and eventually
merged into the mainline Linux kernel where it will receive ongoing
support. This will save the industry millions of dollars in research and
development. It will also improve quality of the code through robust
upstream kernel test infrastructure, since anything maintained in the
mainline kernel is collectively supported by thousands of developers and
hundreds of companies around the world." As part of the project,
the Foundation has appointed Thomas Gleixner into a Fellow position.
