 The Open Real-Time Ethernet (ORTE) is an open source implementation of
-Real-Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) communication protocol. RTPS is new
-application layer protocol targeted to real-time communication area,
-which is build on the top of standard UDP stack. Since there are many
-TCP/IP stack implementations under many operating systems and RTPS
-protocol does not have any other special HW/SW requirements, it should
-be easily ported to many HW/SW target platforms. Because it uses only
-UDP protocol, it retains control of timing and reliability.

 ## Download
 
 ORTE can be downloaded from
 [a project page at SourceForge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/orte/files/).
 
+Development happens mainly in topic branches of
+[our git repository](https://rtime.felk.cvut.cz/gitweb/orte.git/heads),
+which is mirrored to [Github](https://github.com/CTU-IIG/orte).
