Covid Code-In Update (4 April 2020)

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi

I hope this email finds you and your loved ones all well.  Thanks to
everyone who has submitted patches moving us to a release. Here in
Huntsville, it has been quiet at home with us working from home for over
two weeks. Today, a state-wide "stay home" order goes into effect.

The RTEMS Core Developers have been busy testing. There were over 1500 test
results posted to the build at rtems.org mailing list and over 300 so far in
April.

Here are some updates on potential small tasks to pass time.

+ Help knock down barriers to the upcoming release.
https://devel.rtems.org/milestone/5.1 has a list of all outstanding tickets.

+ If one of those tickets doesn't strike your fancy, just test on your BSP
and report that the git master is OK or not.  Even better, learn to run the
RTEMS Tester on your BSP and report full results. It will help move your
BSP up the tiers.

+ Chris Johns periodically posts release candidate snapshots. Test them.
Please.

+ There are more Small Tasks (https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/SmallTasks). I
am happy to report that there is progress in converting the useful BSP
specific content from the Wiki to the Users Guide and in filling in some
testing gaps. Thanks to those picking away at these. They are small but
important.

+ If you have a cool self-made mask, post a picture to the RTEMS Users
Facebook group. This is a creative group, let's see what you have done. :)

Follow medical expert advice and stay healthy.

Thanks.
