[TOS] Congratulations and RTEMS Project is still Interested

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi

Congratulations on the grant! I know you all have worked very hard to get this.

I also wanted to pop up and say I was still lurking. If there is ever
any way for
the RTEMS Project to help you all, let me know. Being an embedded
real-time OS, we aren't appropriate for direct use in introduction to FLOSS
classes except as an example project. For example, RTEMS is on the
Curiosity rover. Custom devices and experimental science is certainly a
 place FLOSS provides benefits for humanity.

RTEMS is always in need of help in marketing, graphics, and other things
that nerdy computer guys are bad at. Personally I would also like to work with
someone teaching requirements analysis or testing to provide a real world
project where these are important. Or simply finding a way to incorporate
real-time OS material into OS curricula.

Again congratulations and don't forget that odd FLOSS projects exist and
care about your mission.
