BoF: Zephyr: Meet the Maintainers
summary
Project updates focus on concrete fixes: a refreshed products running Zephyr page and curated case studies to help sales, plus a plan and budget to add real-hardware CI so some platforms run regression tests (not every legacy board) rather than only QEMU. Documentation will mark which features vendors actually test and publish vendor-provided test results. Community work includes labeled good first issues, a need for a mentoring/janitor framework, and ongoing effort to tame roughly 2,000 bindings across many boards.
