[$] The future of realtime Linux
The future of the realtime (aka PREEMPT_RT) kernel patch set was on the agenda for the Realtime Linux minisummit—as usual—but this year's edition had a bit more urgency than in years past. It is clear that Thomas Gleixner, who is doing most of the development work on the patch set, is concerned about the future of the remaining pieces. There appears to be minimal interest in furthering the development of realtime Linux outside of its main sponsor, Red Hat, and that may not be a sustainable model, he reported to both the minisummit and the concurrent 15th Real Time Linux Workshop (RTLWS).
