[LITMUS^RT] The LITMUS^RT mailing list is shutting down

[Mike Xu]

Wow! It's hard to believe LITMUS^RT is becoming 20th year old! It inspired
me a lot in my real-time/OS research and set a role model of high-quality
research platforms! I believe many researchers and industrial practitioners
share the same sentiment.
Thanks Björn for leading the effort and all the people who have contributed
to the project!

Cheers,

Meng
