industry problems associated with safety qualification and certification,

 has been used in many safety-critical systems across different domains 
and recent prequalification efforts led by ESA have been of interest to 
the wider RTEMS community. If you have experience working with 
safety-critical systems and would like to share some of your insights 
with us, we are interested in setting up a virtual meeting before
