HI !
As you seem to be involved in open-source (I just found your post to the
ubuntu mailing list noting Open Nigeria initiative) I would like to ask
you to help us distribute the below attached Call for Paoers. We are
currnetly
organizing the 12th Real Time Linux Workshop in Nairobi Kenya this October
and are searching for projects that are using embedded and/or real-time
Linux (or other open-source operating systems) which would like to present
their projects and results at this workshop.
At the event a number of key Linux kernel developers will be giving talks
and also offer hands-on seminars on key Linux kernel topics - so this is a
good opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from each other. Pleas help us
distribute this Call for Papers to the Linux and open-source community in
Nigeria !
Find the call for papers below.
Many thanks !

Twelth Real-Time Linux Workshop
October 25-27, 2010
Strathmore University
Nairobi
Kenya
General
Following the meetings of academics, developers and users of real-time
and embedded Linux at the previous 11 real-time Linux workshops held
world-wide (Vienna, Orlando, Milano, Boston, Valencia, Singapur, Lille,
Lanzhou, Linz, Guadalajara, Dresden) - the Real-Time Linux Workshop
for 2010 will come to Afrika for the first time this year. It will be
held at the Startmore University, Nairoi, Kenya from October 25 through
27, preceded by one week public seminars.
Embedded and real-time Linux has been rapidly gaining traction in
consumer electronics and in the past years has made significant advance
into industrial computing ranging from automatin and control to safety
related systems. This vast pool of technology not only has the potential
to improve the capabilities of computer based systems but also has the
ability to include regions of this world into this creative process that
have been excluded due to the economic constraints involved with
proprietary
development models. Opening the door for the creative potential of
engeneers in Afrika, exchanging ideas between diverse technical cultures
is an essential contribution to advancing the capabilities of open-source
Authors from academics, industry aswell as the user-community are invited
to submit original work dealing with general topics related to open-source
and free-software based real-time systems research, experiments and case
studies, as well as issues of integration of open-source real-time and
embedded OS. A special focus will be on industrial case studies and safety
related systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Modifications and variants of the GNU/Linux operating system
extending its real-time capabilities,
* Contributions to real-time Linux variants, drivers and extensions,
* User-mode real-time concepts, implementation and experienc,
* Real-time Linux applications, in academia, research and industry,
* Safety related FLOSS systems
* Work in progress reports, covering recent developments,
* Educational material on real-time Linux,
* Tools for embedding Linux or real-time Linux and embedded
real-time Linux applications,
* RTOS core concepts, RT-safe synchronization mechanisms,
* RT-safe interaction of RT and non RT components,
* IPC mechanisms in RTOS,
* Analysis and Benchmarking methods and results of real-time
GNU/Linux variants,
* Debugging techniques and tools, both for code and temporal
debugging of core RTOS components, drivers and real-time
applications,
* Real-time realted extensions to development environments.
