Welcome to the FOSS North 2019 Community Day Zephyr™ RTOS IoT Hackathon, hosted by Endian! Zephyr is a small, scalable real-time operating system for IoT devices that has caused quite a stir in the open-source community lately.
The event is a full-day event and will start with an introduction to Zephyr and the development environment. Together we will take on a challenge and practice some the core features of Zephyr. No prior experience of Zephyr is required but some basic experience with writing and compiling embedded C programs will be helpful.
For more information see: https://www.endian.se/zephyr-hackathon.html
Note: This event is free of charge, but registration is mandatory! Slots will be VERY limited so you are encouraged to RSVP as soon as possible!

Rust is a new systems and concurrent programming language. Also, it is StackOverflows most loved language three years in a row!
We'd like to spend the day to get you in touch with the language better. It doesn't matter if you've never used it or are already a practicioner.
On the day, there will be people from the Rust project around, helping and coaching you everything you can throw at them.
The day is an open hacking day and we will form groups on subjects of interest. We'd like to learn about your interests ahead of time and would love if you filled out this form.
