Over a three-month period, Bartosz Sowa enhanced embedded systems and build infrastructure across eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-pico and NixOS/nixpkgs. He implemented precise timekeeping in the zenoh-pico mbed port by integrating the Mbed Platform Clock API using C and C++, enabling accurate scheduling and logging. Bartosz also improved cross-RTOS synchronization by refactoring condition variables and mutexes, introducing timed waits and static allocation to increase reliability in resource-constrained environments. In NixOS/nixpkgs, he addressed build system compatibility by updating schroot’s CMake requirements, ensuring smoother packaging and toolchain upgrades. His work demonstrated depth in system programming, concurrency, and package management.

Monthly summary for 2025-10: NixOS/nixpkgs work focused on aligning schroot with modern CMake toolchains to improve build stability and packaging reliability. Delivered a compatibility patch that updates the minimum required CMake version and ensures the change is applied in the package definition, enabling builds with newer CMake versions and preventing regressions for downstream users.

November 2024: Eclipse Zenoh Pico (eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-pico) delivered a critical platform enhancement by implementing the Mbed Platform Clock API in the mbed port. This included introducing z_clock_t and functions to obtain current time and elapsed time in microseconds, milliseconds, and seconds via the mbed OS Kernel::Clock API, enabling precise timekeeping across the port.
