====== The RTL Collaborative Project ======

The RTL Collaborative Project was first [[http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2015/10/linux-foundation-announces-project-advance-real-time-linux|announced]] in October 2015. 

The Real-Time Linux (RTL) Collaborative Project was founded by industry experts to advance technologies for the robotics, telecom, manufacturing, and medical industries. The RTL Collaborative Project will initially focus on pushing critical code upstream to be reviewed and later merged into the mainline Linux kernel with ongoing support. RTL’s Thomas Gleixner, who has been maintaining the RTL branch for more than a decade, will become a Linux Foundation Fellow to dedicate even more time to this project.

===== RTL project progress =====

The aim of the RTL collaborative project is mainlining the PREEMPT_RT
patch.  In order to reach this goal, there is much work to be done.
The following page describes the topics that Thomas Gleixner's
real-time team is currently working on:

  * [[realtime:rtl:current_topics|Current Topics for PREEMPT_RT mainlining]]

For an overview of the tasks to be accomplished to reach the project's
goals see:

  * [[realtime:rtl:all_topics|Topics Overview for PREEMPT_RT mainlining]]

Beside those specialized topics, the already existing PREEMPT_RT
patches have to be maintained later on.
