When something as exciting as a completely open CPU architecture comes along, it's hard to stop Codethink's engineers from getting involved. We've set up an internal research project with the goal of learning about RISC-V, and we have some interesting results already.

In this episode of 'Meet the Codethings', we've asked Shaun about FOSDEM, the future of safety-critical software in automotive, and STPA. Keep up-to-date with our news about safety by just subscribing to our Safety newsletter at the end of the article.

Codethink is a company which provides software services and consultancy. We work with our clients to help them to deliver their projects effectively and efficiently. We prefer to work with a Project Manager on basis as we feel this usually results in the best possible outcome for our clients and ensures our engineering teams are well-supported.

FOSDEM is a two-day event organised by the FOSS community for FOSS the community. This event aims to gather like-minded professionals to learn, teach, and broaden their knowledge and network. This is a fun and exciting weekend for the developers and our employees since they are hosting their first devroom this year.

FOSDEM is coming, 6th and 7th of February 2021! In addition to attending the virtual event, this time Codethink engineers will be curating the Safety and Open Source Software Dev Room.

Bazel and BuildStream are tools which are commonly used to organize and delegate the building of software. There are a few key differences between them but largely they are concerned with the same development problems.

It's that happy time of the year again! And we are not only talking about hearing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" every time you go to the supermarket. We are talking about Advent of Code.
