I would like to express my gratitude to Alessandro Rubini for the patience and accuracy he has put in the technical review of this book.
Alessandro Rubini discovered free software during his PhD, so despite being an electronic engineer, he spent 20 years writing device drivers for a free operating system, and even wrote Linux Device Drivers about this art. He has been teaching Real Time Systems as contract professor in Pavia. He's a member of FSFE and a number of other freedom-oriented associations. Currently, he's mostly designing PCBs for peripheral devices and writing firmware for the microcontrollers he places in there.
