Embedded Swift Community Hour (May 9, 2025)

Hello all,

I'm pleased to announce the third Embedded Swift Community Hour—a relaxed meetup for sharing ideas, learning together, and discussing Embedded Swift development.

Event Details:

Hosts: Myself and @kubamracek (we kindly ask all participants to respect the Swift Code of Conduct)
When: Friday, May 9th, 11am–12pm PDT (watch out, different than last time!)
Where: The Swift Programming Language Discord

Agenda:

  • Show & Tell : We're looking for 1–2 volunteers to briefly share an embedded project—past or present. A quick 5–10 minute walkthrough is perfect (shorter is fine!). No need for slides or polish—just a casual demo or discussion.
  • Open Topics: Following that, the hour will open for broader discussions. If you have specific topics you're interested in, please feel free to post them in the thread. I'll do my best to steer the conversation and cover as many topics as we reasonably can.

Everyone is welcome, so please feel free to invite anyone you think might be interested. This is a laid-back space to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from each other—whether you're an experienced developer or just starting out.

Looking forward to seeing everyone,
rauhul

Note: We're trying the 11am PDT slot this time based on the discussion from Exploring an Alternate Time for (Additional) Community Hours. Feel free to continue posting feedback on what time works best for you in the linked thread.

I have been interested in this meetup since the first one, but I was hesitant because I am not good at English voice communication. So if possible, I would like to know what the past two meetups were like.

The previous two times, we had a live video/audio chat room, but also a regular text channel (#embedded) and we encouraged people to use that channel for any discussions that are better to have in text :slight_smile:

I'd say feel free to join for the hour, and start/join discussions in the text channel.

Alas, once again, I can't attend. It'd be nice if we could switch up the times. I'm unavailable MWF till about 2 pm pacific time.

Awesome this is the first time I’ve been able to make the time! Excited!

Just in case there's any timing-related confusion: This event starts in ~15 minutes :slight_smile:
