Sessions
Welcome to Zarhus Developers Meetup. Here we would like to welcome all our guests to this small non-public meetup, where we will present the results of the Zarhus Team's recent work. We would like to reiterate on Zarhus: Trustworthy Embedded Linux Distro presentation and give you a heads up about the vision and mission we would like to follow. It is not only about marketing but also about honest openness, authenticity, and accountability, which should be the foundation of every project focusing on trustworthiness.
Join us for closing remarks where the Zarhus Team will share our vision for the future and how you can get involved! We’ll discuss our efforts to engage with you and our community and explore the projects we can tackle together. Zarhus is a Yocto-based distribution for embedded devices that draws inspiration from OpenXT and Qubes OS, focusing on maximizing synergy with open-source firmware like Dasharo. We prioritize building a strong Root of Trust and Chain of Trust while leveraging various Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more and discover how you can contribute to our mission. Your input is essential; together, we can shape Zarhus' future!
