===== Biography =====
==== Thomas Gleixner, Linutronix GmbH ====
Thomas Gleixner is a long time Linux kernel hacker with embedded background
and a strong affinity to impossible missions. He is (Co)Maintainer for x86,
everything about timers, generic interrupt subsystem and some more in the
Linux Kernel. Furthermore he desperately keeps the real-time preemption patch
in shape and merges it piecewise into the mainline kernel.
==== Sebastian Siewior, Linutronix GmbH ====

Sebastian Siewior maintains the Preempt-RT patchset for several years as part of his work for Linutronix, and once he even ported -RT to m68knommu. Two years ago he presented what it means to play catch up with mainline with the -RT patchset at Linux Plumbers.
