[$] Introducing Space Grade Linux

A new project, targeting Linux for the proverbial final frontier-outerspace-was the subject of a talk (YouTube video) atthe Embedded Linux Conference, which was held as part of OpenSource Summit Europe in Amsterdam in late August. Ramon Rocheintroduced Space GradeLinux (SGL), which is currently incubating as a special interest group(SIG) of the Embedding Linux in SafetyApplications (ELISA) project. The idea is to create a distributionwith a base layer that can be used for off-planet missions of varioussorts, along with other layers that can be used to customize it fordifferent space-based use cases.
