         TimeSys Introduces LinuxLink Radio - the Podcast for
                      Embedded Linux Developers

       Free Podcast Keeps a Pulse on the Embedded Linux Industry

    PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2007--TimeSys Corporation
(http://www.timesys.com), the leading service provider to developers
in the embedded Linux market, today introduced LinuxLink Radio, a free
podcast focused on embedded Linux. Listeners can keep a pulse on the
growing embedded Linux industry and pick up tips that will help them
with their next project. The content in LinuxLink Radio is designed to
be of interest to all embedded Linux developers, whether or not they
are subscribers to the LinuxLink service for building customized Linux
platforms.

    LinuxLink Radio is hosted by Gene Sally and Maciej Halasz from
TimeSys, who have over 15 years of combined experience in embedded
Linux. New episodes of LinuxLink Radio will be available every two
weeks, with each being around 30 minutes in length. Topics of
conversation during the podcast will cover a wide range of embedded
Linux topics, with content available for experienced developers, as
well as those new to embedded Linux. Three episodes are already
available:

    --  Episode 1: An introduction to embedded Linux, discussing why
        embedded developers should consider using Linux, from
        technical and business standpoints.

    --  Episode 2: A guest interview with Thomas Gleixner, one of the
        main contributors to the real-time patches for the Linux
        kernel, covering real-time Linux for embedded systems,
        features of real-time like priority inheritance and high
        resolution timers, and upcoming improvements to the Linux
        kernel to support additional real-time functionality.

    --  Episode 3: The state of embedded Linux - past, present, and
        future.

    LinuxLink Radio is available as an audio file that you can listen
to on your computer or your personal audio player, such as an iPod(R).
Each episode is available in the popular MP3 format, as well as the
open source Ogg Vorbis audio format. You can also subscribe to the
podcast series using your favorite podcast manager, such as iTunes(R)
or Google Reader, so you will automatically get the latest episodes as
they become available.

    "Educating people about embedded Linux development is something we
really value at TimeSys, and LinuxLink Radio is a great way for people
to learn more about embedded Linux development in an informal
setting," said Joseph Raffa, CEO of TimeSys. "Combined with our
webinar series and huge collection of documents, TimeSys is a great
source of information that can help people with their next embedded
Linux project."

I like the idea, but the frequency and duration of each podcast is less. Also, the topics should get more technical in nature.

Also there is already a podcast called:

The Linux Link Tech show.

They've been doing it for years and have regularly scedualed live broadcasts on the internet. Up to #182 episode.

So it's not a very good choice for a name. (Link is the name of the guy that started tllts)

More than one engineer pointed this out to marketing when we heard what
they were planning. We got them to differentiate the name a little. (I
still think a "radio podcast" sounds a bit like a "phonograph CD", but
what do I know?)

The interview with Thomas Gleixner is worth a listen, anyway.
