Who will be in New York for LinuxExpo? I'd like to organize
a serious BOF there.
December 1, I will be in Sand Diego for a panel discussion on RTLinux
during COTS99 -- a mostly military and avionics conference. The
panel includes folks from Lynx and WindRiver and so it should be
quite interesting.
Austria in December seems difficult.
BTW: On the question of RTAI and RTLinux, I'm pretty happy with
things as they are now. We advance in the tradition of free software
borrowing where useful and diverging where convenient.
Of course, it would be better if Paolo wanted to work on RTL directly
and I think that he may be happy with the 2.3 changes for x86.
