talking points

Hi,

In a week or so I'll be giving a talk at a local conference entitled:
"Introducing Linux to your Embedded Company". It'll be a talk aimed at engineers to give them tips on how to introduce Linux at work. Some of the main topics will include: legal information, advice on building and cross-development, advocacy, what to expect, and I plan on having a discussion about PREEMPT_RT (since most embedded companies are obsessed with "real-time").

With respect to PREEMPT_RT I plan to discuss:
- the history of PREEMPT_RT (the -rt patch)
- tips for user-space apps
- strongly convey that "real-time" doesn't mean "fast"

Any thoughts (on general items to discuss but especially with respect to real-time)?

Best regards,
Trevor

Say you want a Deterministic Operating System aka DOS. (I stole this joke from Steven).
