My book (co-authored with Derek Schuurman and Ethan Brue) went into a third printing this year! I'm gratfule to see we continue to find readers interested how Christian faith can influence engineering and design work.

My team at Boeing is working to broaden the use of Linux in aerospace. If you have relevant experience, such as with Linux internals or building custom embedded distros with yocto, please contact me for more info on our openings.

[Steve VanderLeest @svleest]

@ToAllPointsWest @phoronix Another slide in our presentation makes this point -- that Linux is extensively tested, which builds the case for safety that we need. Also, the level of rigor needed to put software in space is challenging, but not as high as the FAA requires for commercial aircraft.

[Steve VanderLeest @svleest]

@locked_puppy @phoronix We don't think we would even necessarily need to fork. Simply use yocto to build a custom distro that only includes the parts we need (and can demonstrate are safe with evidence)

[Steve VanderLeest @svleest]

@AlexVSharp @phoronix Actually, our presentation listed these objections and then the next slide listed how we think each can be addressed. The summary is that although challenging, we think Linux could be used for safety-critical aerospace use cases.
