New description:

 Some Points that should be added to the wiki:History/Timeline. Please add
 points to the list where someone else might add a date and cross points
 that have been added to the wiki page.

 Most of the original list has been suggested by Joel here:
 https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/devel/2020-April/059313.html

 * Any cool non-space programs folks can admit to?
 * First submission from some core developers.
     - Chris was second submitter and is in the 91-92 timeframe. We don't
 remember.
     - Thomas first shows up in git in March 1998.
     - Sebastian gets a nod in July 2008. :)
 * When were some ports added?
 * When were some interesting/popular BSPs added: Zyng, Leon3, gba, etc
     - FWIW the original PC BSP was based on DJ Delorie's go32 and pre-
 dates
       the git history. I did that on a single PC (486 with 32 MB RAM). I
 couldn't run
       X11 and compile at the same time. I had to reboot to test. Yes it
 was uphill
       both ways back in those days. :)
 * When were some of the original ports/BSPs removed?
    - mvme135/136 was first BSP
    - i386 was second port
    - i960 was last of original 3 ports
 * Interesting features? Like libnetworking, libbsd, shell, dynamic
 loading?
 * The Cygnus floppy mailing:
 https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/people/joel/CygnusFloppyAugust1995/
 * Details for addition of SMP
 * move to OSU OSL
 * incorporation of RTEMS Foundation
 * scientific discoveries like the particle discovered by an Atlas detector
 at CERN
 * or the famous gamma ray burst from Fermi
