There was something of a space theme that pervaded the Embedded Linux
Conference (ELC) portion of the 2023 Embedded
Open Source Summit (EOSS), which is an umbrella event for various
sub-conferences related to embedded open-source development. That may
partly be because one of the organizers of EOSS (and ELC), Tim Bird,
described himself as “a bit of a space junkie”; he made that observation
during a panel session that he led on embedded Linux in space. Bird and
four panelists discussed various aspects of the use of Linux in
space-related systems, including where it has been used, the
characteristics and challenges of aerospace deployments, certification of
Linux for aerospace use, and more.
