Over the past months, a dedicated team conducted the first comprehensive third-party security audit of Hex.pm and its surrounding ecosystem.
This work was carried out as part of the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation’s Ægis initiative.

If you've gotten frustrated with Docker Hub crashing when trying to find the latest hexpm Erlang or Elixir image tag, see fhunleth.github.io/latest_elixi.... Updated nightly, so should reflect patch builds for CVEs relatively quickly.

Next stop: ElixirConf EU! Don’t miss Dennis Palmer and his talk “Live Coding a Nerves Robot with LiveBook” - see you there! ➡️ www.elixirconf.eu/talks/live-c...
Yutaka Kikuchi speaking about custom Nerves hardware his team built for power plants in Japan.
Yutaka Kikuchi, professor at Kochi University of Technology, uses Zenoh to migrate running processes globally-distributed Nerves devices! #Elixir #Nerves #CodeBEAM
There are two thing I'm obligated to remind you of. The Tickets and the Call for Talkers.

Marc "Nerves Car" Lainez has been putting Nerves on e-waste. Now we scale it up. We'll be putting Nerves on smartphones for you to use, hack on and keep. Finally some true upcycling. Hack on a smartphone project with just your Elixir skills.

If you are in Malaga for ElixirConf EU we hope you arrive one day early. We'll be doing the Elixir Unconference satellite event and our traditional Nerves hack session on the day before. Registration is shared so come to both/either. Details in blog.

I'm headed back to the mire of goats! If you missed last year's, everything you heard is true. Plus Varberg is a really nice town. If you're like me and always schedule conference travel with no buffer on either end, this is a good one to add a few days.
Curious about building IoT and embedded systems with Elixir?
Join DC Elixir for a special session with Frank Hunleth, the creator of Nerves!

The Nerves Starter Kit prototype (right) and the Goatmire name badge (left). The starter kit screen is 50% larger, with higher resolution. They're running the same software, but the starter kit text is smaller due to the higher resolution
Nerves starter kit prototype front view. It has a black 3D printed frame
The Nerves Starter Kit prototype side view. There are two arms that can attach to the back which tilt the display up at a 15° angle. The stand can be removed, and instead the whole device can be wall mounted for a picture-frame like experience instead
I had the pleasure of revealing some of the latest updates for the Nerves Starter Kit project last night at the monthly @nervesmeetup.eu! There were some really good discussions, and I definitely woke up today really energized from the feedback we got :)

Fantastic turn out for DC Elixir's "Introducing to Tele" - y'all showed up despite a foot of ice and slush outside!
Stay tuned - next month's event is a social.
As always, no matter your BEAM background or experience level you're welcome with us!

It's still on, see y'all there

Where to start.. image is hand-drawn with very little care for fidelity but lots of color and effect-laden brush work. Text is The Everything App, Nerves, Membrane, Phoenix LiveView, Nx, ElixifConf EU. Spread across the inage are bounding boxes as if doing object detection. Indicating: Lars Wikman on a sketch of the speaker. Cinnamon on the v in Nerves. Fire on the dot of the i in LiveView. Which looks quite fiery. Malaga on the EU text. I apologize. And also not.
I am speaking at ElixirConf EU. The talk is about an everything bagel of an app that has a truly ridiculous number of things in it. A production system that runs on Nerves and truly embodies what an Elixir monolith can be. Let me illustrate.

Elixir and all my BEAM friends - If you're running or biking or anything else and want to be social about it, a bunch of us are on Strava at www.strava.com/clubs/717412
Can Erlang run on QNX? Turns out: yes ✅
In this article, @maennchen.dev explores what it takes to port Erlang/OTP to QNX. A great example of curiosity turning into concrete results.

Happy new year to all! We’re starting our 2026 meetup season tomorrow (Wed Jan 14th) at 19h CET via Zoom!

Wooooo! I'll be visiting Sweden this year. This time I won't make the mistake of trying to minimize the duration of my stay.
2025 has been an incredible year for Gleam adoption, but sadly not for funding, with GitHub sponsorship dropping ~10%. It's not a disaster as we're careful with finances, but it's not a good trend.
How can we do better at turning users into supporters?
A sufficiently funded ecosystem benefits all!
Do embedded with the BEAM? The Nerves Newsletter is adding segments to cover the wider BEAM embedded ecosystem. We're perhaps the loudest project but we see so much useful overlap and sharing with AtomVM, GRiSP, the new BEAM Bots, Meta Erlang.

Dan Janowski has stepped up to serve the community. He speaks on the topics we need to hear, he is doing invaluable voluntary work throughout the EEF.
This talk is what he believes needs to be done.
