Zephyr at 10: The Open RTOS Powering Europe's IoT - Hilary Carter, The Linux Foundation
Did you know that 62% of European survey respondents use Zephyr in commercial products, such as sensors and monitoring equipment? Europe also has strong evaluation pipelines for those considering Zephyr. These are just two Europe-specific insights on a growing, real-time operating system for connected and resource-constrained devices, spanning IoT, industrial systems, automotive platforms, and edge computing.

This session celebrates Zephyr’s first decade and explores what has driven its success—from technical architecture and open governance to a vibrant global contributor community. Drawing on insights from a new Linux Foundation Research study, the discussion will highlight key milestones, ecosystem growth, and the forces shaping Zephyr’s future.

In this session, we’ll explore:

-The Zephyr features that are most valued
-Growth of the global Zephyr developer ecosystem
-Real-world Zephyr practitioner use cases & insights

Key questions:
-How is Zephyr being used across embedded products?
-What are the defining features of Zephyr that have contributed to its adoption?
-What are the attributes of the Zephyr community that contribute to the project's growth and health?
