RTEMS Mentors

Participating with a new project can be hard, but many of the RTEMS developers are willing to volunteer their expertise in helping new developers become the next generation of experts. This page lists some of those who are willing to mentor projects. New students should feel free to contact mentors on this list when just starting out to get help with your first patch or to inquire about a specific project.

Mentors

This is probably not an all inclusive list of who has offered to be an RTEMS mentor. If you are a potential mentor please add yourself and add more details on your user page if desired. Students should use this list to get familiar with who might be available to assist in planning, proposing, and completing an RTEMS project. Next to some mentors names is their nick on IRC.

  • Joel Sherrill (DrJoel) - I am one of the original RTEMS developers and have been the project maintainer for over 20 years.
  • Chris Johns (kiwichris) - I have been a user and developer of RTEMS for over 20 years.
  • Gedare Bloom (gedare) - I have been a user and developer of RTEMS since 2009. I have participated in GSOC with RTEMS as both a student and mentor. My main interest is core kernel development. Students can feel free to contact me directly.
  • Thomas Doerfler - I have been a user and developer of RTEMS for about 15 years, mainly for industrial control units.
  • Alan Cudmore - I have been using RTEMS for satellite flight software applications 10 years. I would like to mentor a student for Raspberry Pi BSP improvements, or other RTEMS runtime improvements or ports.
