The Linux Foundation has announcedthe formation of a collaborative project to support the ongoing developmentof the realtime kernel patch set. "The RTL Collaborative Projectwill focus on pushing critical code upstream to be reviewed and eventuallymerged into the mainline Linux kernel where it will receive ongoingsupport. This will save the industry millions of dollars in research anddevelopment. It will also improve quality of the code through robustupstream kernel test infrastructure, since anything maintained in themainline kernel is collectively supported by thousands of developers andhundreds of companies around the world." As part of the project,the Foundation has appointed Thomas Gleixner into a Fellow position.
