I am passing this along as an FYI -

>In light of recent market developments around IP ownership, 
>embedded systems manufacturers are researching OS alternatives 
>to Linux. Developers and technical managers need to determine 
>how software projects implemented in Linux might be transferred 
>to other OSs - what portion of the original code can be preserved, 
>whether similar functionality can be implemented, and how 
>migration can be achieved. 
> 
>Join QNX Software Systems on September 29 for a technical web 
>seminar, "Implementing Device Drivers - Migrating from Linux to 
>a Microkernel OS," where David Donohoe, senior software developer, 
>QNX Software Systems, will demonstrate how an existing Linux-
>developed driver can be migrated to the QNX(r) Neutrino(r) RTOS, 
>preserving up to 80 per cent of the original software code 
>development. 
>
>Peter van der Veen, QNX chief architect, will discuss how 
>POSIX APIs enable application portability between Linux and 
>other OSs, allowing Linux developers to retain their programming
>model and implement a hard realtime embedded operating system 
>such as QNX Neutrino.
