Lightning Talk: How Zephyr Shaped My Journey as a Trainee in Embedded Software Development - Verena Abt, ZEISS
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 16:30 CEST
G105 (Level 1)


The community spirit of open-source projects is extraordinarily captivating, and it was this very spirit that I experienced firsthand within my trainee program. During this time, I had the invaluable opportunity to immerse myself in various aspects of the Zephyr Project across different job stations.

In this session, I’ll share my journey of becoming part of the Zephyr Project community, highlighting:

• Navigating the Learning Curve: Insights from porting existing applications to Zephyr.

• Establishing a Repository Structure: Challenges and solutions in organizing code effectively.

• Exploring the Toolchain: Meeting the needs of embedded software development.

• Contributing My First Pull Request: The thrill and lessons from my first pull request.

By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with practical tips to kickstart your own journey with Zephyr and feel inspired by the empowering experience of being part of the Zephyr Project community!
