I went ahead and added the incorporation of the RTEMS Foundation to the wiki and the NASA Fermi discovery which won the top prize in high energy astrophysics in 2018. https://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/news/releases/2018/18-004.html I'd love to see folks speak up and share that type of event. :) And randomly, Fermi was launched in 2008 and expected to last five years. It is now at 12 and the last I checked with them, they expected to continue to get funding to keep running. > > > > It is amazing how much this has prodded my memory. :) > > > > --joel > > > > > > > > Best regards > > > > Christian > > -- > > -------------------------------------------- > > embedded brains GmbH > > Herr Christian Mauderer > > Dornierstr. 4 > > D-82178 Puchheim > > Germany > > email: christian.maude...@embedded-brains.de > > <mailto:christian.maude...@embedded-brains.de> > > Phone: +49-89-18 94 741 - 18 > > Fax: +49-89-18 94 741 - 08 > > PGP: Public key available on request. > > > > Diese Nachricht ist keine geschäftliche Mitteilung im Sinne des EHUG. > > > > -- > -------------------------------------------- > embedded brains GmbH > Herr Christian Mauderer > Dornierstr. 4 > D-82178 Puchheim > Germany > email: christian.maude...@embedded-brains.de > Phone: +49-89-18 94 741 - 18 > Fax: +49-89-18 94 741 - 08 > PGP: Public key available on request. > > Diese Nachricht ist keine geschäftliche Mitteilung im Sinne des EHUG. >
