In the trenches with Thomas Gleixner (Linux.com)

Linux.com has published aninterview with Thomas Gleixner with a focus on the realtime preemptionwork. "The approach to funding these kinds of projects reminds me of the Mikado Game, which is popular in Europe, where the first player who picks up the stick and disturbs the pile often is the one who loses.That's puzzling to me, especially as many companies build key productsdepending on these technologies and seem to take the availability andsustainability for granted up to the point where such a project fails, orpeople stop working on it due to lack of funding. Such companies shouldseriously consider supporting the funding of the Real-Time project."
