Working with Zephyr? Share your story, even if this would be your first talk. We welcome developers, students, and anyone getting started with Zephyr to share what they’ve learned.
Tell us about your first project, what went well, challenges you faced, or what could be improved. Getting-started advice, practical demos, and tips for other beginners and developers are all welcome. You don’t need to be an expert to share something useful!

Welcome to the first ever Zephyr Project in-person meetup in Porto, Portugal, on November 26, 2026, from 7:00PM - 9:00PM.
This meetup is hosted by MIPS by Global Foundries and will take place at Antiga Fábrica Vasco da Gama located at Av. Menéres 657, 4450-102 Matosinhos, Portugal.
This gathering is for anyone interested in open source, embedded systems programming, and software development. Join developers, engineers, students, and open source enthusiasts for a morning of technical learning and networking centered around the Zephyr RTOS ecosystem.
As the Zephyr Project celebrates its 10th anniversary, this meetup offers an opportunity to connect with fellow community members, hear from industry experts, and explore how Zephyr is used in embedded and edge computing applications.
Technical Sessions
The evening will feature technical presentations covering open source development, system design, emerging technologies, and best practices for building connected devices with Zephyr. Learn from Zephyr contributors, ecosystem partners, and industry experts as they share practical applications and development experiences.
Whether you are an experienced embedded developer or just getting started, this meetup offers an opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and connect with others working with Zephyr.
