RTEMS eLearning Site Online

(February 3, 2009) The RTEMS Project now has an eLearning Site (http://moodle.rtems.com/). The site uses the FOSS Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle (Moodle). Please visit the RTEMS University Moodle, create an account, watch some presentations, and take some quizzes. There are currently only a handful of modules in the course catalogue but OAR plans to populate this with much educational material on RTEMS.

OpenGroup/IEEE POSIX Permission

(February 17, 2009) The RTEMS Project has been granted permission by the IEEE and Open Group to excerpt and reuse text from the Open Group Base Specification Issue 6 in the RTEMS POSIX API User's Guide and RTEMS Shell User's Guide. This is a major milestone and grants the RTEMS Project the same permissions the GNU/Linux man pages projects and NetBSD have. A scanned copy of the agreement with the signature page removed is available online. We would like to offer our thanks to those who helped in this effort.
