Welcome to the first Zephyr Project in-person meetup in Cape Town, South Africa, on November 10, 2026, from 6:00 pm-9:00 pm. This gathering is for anyone curious about open source, embedded systems programming, and software development.
This Zephyr Project meetup is co-located with the Capetown Hardware Collective Meetup, offering an opportunity to connect with the local hardware and embedded systems community.
The meetup will take place at Balancell Offices, 1 Oude Molen Rd, Ndabeni, Cape Town, 7405, South Africa.
Join fellow developers, engineers, students, and open source enthusiasts for an evening of technical learning and networking around the Zephyr RTOS ecosystem.
