Lightning Talk: Strategies for Developing Safety-Critical Software in C++

by Emily Durie-Johnson

Summary of the talk:

This talk delves into the importance of a safety-first mindset in software development within the medical device domain. It explores the intersection of C++ and industry standards that ensure safety-critical software. Attendees will learn to ask guiding questions during code development that emphasize the importance of coding as if the technology will be used on their loved ones.

Visit Meeting C++ 2025 with assistance and your wheelchair

by Jens Weller

From the article:

As you may not be aware about this opportunity, I wanted to highlight that the Vienna House Andel's Berlin Hotel offers accessibility rooms for those who need them.

Meeting C++ in Berlin has been visited by folks in wheel chairs, and I thought I highlight this possiblity. Recently when looking through pictures provided by my hotel contact, I've seen aboves picture of an accessible bathroom, which sparked my interest in finding out more about them. While I knew they existed, I didn't know the Hotel has actually 14 rooms of them, and that they each have a twin room for an assistant to stay. So if such a room is needed for your stay, wether you bring a wheel chair or not - now you know that its possible...

Meeting C++ 2024: the last hybrid C++ conference?

Like last year sharing my thoughts on that Meeting C++ 2024 is the only hybrid C++ conference.

Meeting C++ 2024: the last hybrid C++ conference?

by Jens Weller

From the article:

While I'm happy that Meeting C++ 2024 is not the last online conference, I do have once again to wonder if its the last hybrid one.

Once again I'd like to document my thoughts on running a hybrid conference, and also ask the C++ community for the support if you value such an offer being available world wide. In the end the numbers of this years conference will once again decide if I think that continueing is worth it.

Its easier to run a conference without a live stream...

30 days until Meeting C++ 2024!

Meeting C++ 2024 is just 30 days away! Come to Berlin and meet with the C++ Community and the C++ committee for 3 days!
