<br>
Our IT department is asking us to shut down or migrate the LITMUS^RT mailing list because it runs on an outdated software stack that has not been updated for a long time. <br>
<br>
Since there hasn't been much traffic in the last few years, and since LITMUS^RT is slowly aging out of relevance without (public) releases (and exciting new features appearing in mainline Linux, especially sched_ext), I don't see the need to set up a successor mailing list. In the age of Slack, Discord, Zulip, etc., mailing lists have fallen out of favor anyway. <br>
<br>
So this mailing list will be shut down at the end of December 2024. <br>
<br>
If there's interest in creating a follow-up online community, I suggest we simply create a channel on the TCRTS Discord instance. If anyone wants to join, I'd be happy to lurk there.<br>
<br>
It's hard to believe that the original paper by Calandrino et al. (2006) is approaching its 20th anniversary. LITMUS^RT has had a good run and has left its mark on the literature. Thank you all for your contributions and many fruitful discussions over the years!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Björn<br>
