Embedded Linux developer with ~10 years of experience in the automotive field, with the daily goal of maintaining the new problems / solutions ratio below 1. Passionate about the Linux kernel and the Yocto project, with a weakness for the hardware bringup phase.

I've been working with embedded systems more than 20 years. Lately I've focused on bootlaoders, UEFI and security

Hello everyone, I'm João (but everyone calls me Teddy), and I'm a Field Application Engineer at Toradex! I’m an Computer Engineering undergrad (finishing this semester!) with a deep passion for electrical systems and embedded computing. What really excites me is the intersection between hardware and software.
My journey into embedded systems started with a classic: with Raspberry Pis and emulators. That curiosity gradually evolved into a professional path focused on System-on-Modules, BSP customization, Yocto builds, device tree debugging, and performance optimization for real-world products.
Outside of work I've always been a DIY person with a love for the outdoors. From camping and gardening to track days with an old Ford Escort 96, for which I even am developing a telemetry platform based on the AM62 from TI!
I love understanding how things work and turning ideas into projects into reality! I'll always be chasing the next project!

Kendall Willis is an Embedded Software Engineer working at Texas Instruments. She primarily focuses on power management in ARM SoCs by enabling various low power modes in the Linux kernel.

Kurt Kanzenbach studied Computer Science at Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg. He is a embedded Linux engineer at Linutronix since 2016. There he is working on Linux based board support packages, real time networking as well as trainings and workshops.

Michael Olbrich is an open-source developer with a focus on platform integration on embedded Linux. He works as a full-time Linux developer for Pengutronix. His job is to provide a smooth Linux experience on embedded devices from init systems to graphics and multimedia frameworks.

Michael Tretter works as a software developer at Pengutronix. Even though his main field of work is the Linux graphics infrastructure and media drivers, his interests also include bootloaders and SoC support in the Linux kernel.

Michael previously gave talks about the internals of the Linux graphics stack at ELC-E, the development of the upstream ZynqMP video encoder driver at FOSDEM, and the importance of maintainable open source tools at the FPGA Conference Europe.

I am an Industrial Engineer re-converted to FOSS hacker, re-converted to governance and project manager. I started contributing to postmarketOS in 2021 with a PinePhone in my hand and a dream to replace the Android phones in my and my sister's (a sociologist without IT training) pockets with something we can control. 5 years later, the PinePhone is no longer in my hand, but the dream is getting closer and closer by the day.

Right now, I am a Core Contributor at postmarketOS, mostly in charge of project coordination, governance and legal topics. At the same time, I have contributed to dozens of FOSS projects, a maintainer of a few, and even became director at the GNOME Foundation.
