Thank you. 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.

I added some small stuff (start of SMP work, main work, release numbers)
based on the git history (see
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/History/Timeline?action=diff=27_version=25).

Although I'm terribly bad with dates: You said you would try to follow
up with ideas. If you have any where I might could help, please let me know.

Best regards

Christian
