Sustainable Coding: Rust Meets the Right to Repair

Join us for an evening where sustainable thinking meets embedded tech, featuring Rust, CAN bus hacking, and the right to repair. Whether you're an embedded developer, sustainability advocate, or curious tinkerer, this meetup is for you.

We’ll open doors at 17:00 with a 30-minute walk-in and welcome, giving everyone time to settle in.

From 17:30 to 18:15, enjoy a shared dinner with fellow participants. Great food, relaxed vibes, and good conversation.

At 18:15, we’ll kick off the talks. Wilco Burggraaf will open with a 15-minute talk on the Right to Repair. As our devices become increasingly locked down by software, how can we as developers support transparency, autonomy, and sustainability? Wilco will explore how software design can either block or empower repairability.

Next, Frank Lyaruu, Principal Innovator at HighTech Innovators, will present “Automotive Rust: Amateur Style.” In this 45-minute session, Frank, a Rustacean, embedded hobbyist, and sustainable computing advocate, will introduce the art of CAN bus sniffing. Learn how to tap into a car’s digital nervous system using Rust, decode the data, and build your playful automotive hacks.

No prior automotive experience needed, just a passion for tech and curiosity.

We’ll close the evening with community networking from 19:30 to 20:00. Grab a drink, share ideas, and connect with fellow developers, makers, and repair advocates.

Let’s build tech that lasts. Together.
