    Hi<br>
    <br>
    This is a great workshop and I encourage RTEMS users to seriously
    consider <br>
    participating. Even though it is space application focused,
    presentations from<br>
    past years have included great work on critical real-time embedded <br>
    applications from other domains. <br>
    <br>
    The presentations are always top notch, from the real developers,
    and<br>
    you will learn something new from someone there. <br>
    <div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
      This year it is back on the East coast. I look forward to seeing
      some<br>
      of you there.<br>
