SUMMARY:Keynote: UCP: The Evolution of an Open Standard for Agentic Commerce - Anurag Sinha\, Senior Staff Software Engineer & Manager\, Google
DESCRIPTION:The commerce landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift from a "click-to-buy" web to an "intent-to-execute" agentic ecosystem. At the center of this transformation is the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)\, an open-source standard designed to eliminate fragmentation between AI surfaces and merchant platforms.\nThis session provides a deep dive into UCP's foundational architecture\, exploring its core primitives and its unique capability-based system that allows AI agents to interact seamlessly with diverse retail backends.&nbsp\;We will trace the journey of the protocol from its initial launch to its current state\, highlighting key milestones in its technical evolution—including expanded support for diverse transport layers and its integration into major AI-native environments.Beyond the technical specifications\, the talk will examine the real-world impact of UCP: how it is lowering the barrier to entry for smaller retailers\, decentralizing commerce\, and enabling a more fluid\, secure\, and interoperable future for global trade. \n\nAttendees will gain a clear understanding of how this evolving standard is becoming the connective tissue for the next generation of digital transactions.

SUMMARY:Keynote: The Revolution Hiding in Plain Sight: CI/CD Platform Is About to Change Forever - Dadisi Sanyika\, Sol Duara\, Inc.
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who has worked on a CI/CD platform knows the feeling: the tools are powerful\, but too much energy goes into making everything talk to everything else. Teams sense there should be a better way\, but the ecosystem keeps pulling them back toward custom integrations.This is an industry inefficiency. When hundreds of organizations each build integrations for the same tools\, enormous effort is spent solving the same problems again and again. We’ve accepted this as normal\, but there’s another pattern.This talk explores why the status quo must change. Not through better tooling or more connectors\, but through the same shift that transformed railroads\, email\, and the internet: shared protocol.You’ll see the architecture making this inevitable: CDEvents as a shared vocabulary for SDLC\, Workflow Segments as the semantic meaning behind “build” and “deploy\,” and Conduit as an orchestration engine that understands the entire workflow. We’ll examine where boundaries exist in every pipeline\, and how tools that broadcast proof of reaching those boundaries can coordinate without custom integrations.The future of CI/CD isn’t more integrations\; it’s one integration\, used by everyone.

SUMMARY:QoD-Centric NaaS Strategy: Policy-Orchestrated Multi-Access Service - Daniel Kibler\, EIS Visual & Niem Dang\, NHD Consulting LLC
DESCRIPTION:Delivering predictable\, high‑quality network services in dense\, multi‑access edge environments remains a central challenge for operators pursuing a Network‑as‑a‑Service (NaaS) strategy\, where programmable APIs expose network capabilities as on‑demand services. Quality‑on‑Demand (QoD) APIs act as the intent interface in this model\, enabling applications to request session‑level performance characteristics. QoD requires sophisticated new network control‑plane orchestration to address heterogeneous enforcement\, multi‑access behavior\, and session continuity issues across Wi‑Fi\, private 5G\, and public 5G domains.QoD refers specifically to the CAMARA Project’s implementation\, which provides standardized APIs for dynamic multi‑access orchestration\, session‑level QoS enforcement\, and integration with 3GPP control‑plane functions\, including PCF\, SMF\, NEF\, and NWDAF together with UE‑side ATSSS for traffic steering\, switching\, and splitting.In this session\, we will overview the strategic importance of QoD APIs\, the global scale of the emerging NaaS domain\, and detail Open Source technologies that are foundational to the industry.

SUMMARY:Building Trust in the AI Era: Agent-to-Agent Communication With DIDs and VCs - Alexander Shcherbakov\, DSR Corporation
DESCRIPTION:As AI moves from isolated chatbots to autonomous agent ecosystems\, the "identity problem" becomes a critical security bottleneck. How does an agent verify the legitimacy of a requestor before executing a sensitive task? Traditional API keys are insufficient for dynamic\, decentralized agent interactions.\n This session explores a cutting-edge extension to the Linux Foundation A2A protocol that leverages Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to establish high-assurance trust and bridges the gap between Decentralized Identity standards and AI\, creating a secure backbone for the next generation of agent interoperability.\n We will dive into the technical design of integrating OpenID for Verifiable Presentations (OID4VP) into agent communication flows. Attendees will learn how this proposed extension moves beyond static credentials to enable granular\, verifiable Authentication (AuthN) and Authorization (AuthZ) for autonomous tasks. Beyond the protocol basics\, we will analyze different patterns for VC presentation—comparing interactive vs. automated flows—and evaluate diverse wallet options\, ranging from cloud-based agent wallets to secure edge implementations.

SUMMARY:From Closed To Collaborative: Lessons From Qualcomm’s Open Development Experience - Rashmi Chitrakar\, Qualcomm Technologies\, Inc.
DESCRIPTION:For more than 15 years\, Qualcomm’s been actively involved in a range of Open Source ecosystems. Until recently\, some parts of our development were handled behind closed doors\, with contributions coming later and upstream enablement sometimes being limited. We tried various projects and partnerships to push things upstream sooner\, but it wasn’t until lately that we truly made a complete shift.\n \n Over the past 18 months\, we’ve totally revisited our approach—moving an entire Linux product development ecosystem\, with hundreds of contributors\, from a private downstream setup to a full-blown Open Development model. This wasn’t just a surface change: it meant overhauling how our engineers work\, syncing up our internal systems with open practices\, and fundamentally changing the way our developers connect and collaborate.\n \n In this session\, we’ll share what made this transition work for us—including how we managed to weave our internal systems into Open Source workflows\, encouraged developers to embrace new ways of thinking\, and built scalable processes that can handle all sorts of Linux ecosystems and distributions.

SUMMARY:From Plaintext To Protected: Syslog Over TLS 1.3 in BusyBox for Embedded Routers - Tarun Kundu\, Ericsson Software Technology\, USA
DESCRIPTION:BusyBox is a go-to userspace stack for embedded routers\, but BusyBox syslogd remote logging is often deployed without transport security—sending logs in plaintext across networks. In enterprise deployments\, there exists a security and compliance gap when encrypted log transport\, such as RFC 5425-style secure syslog\, is expected.\n \n This talk shares a production-driven approach: after evaluating syslog-ng/rsyslog and weighing their integration cost against embedded constraints\, we added TLS 1.3 directly to BusyBox syslogd using OpenSSL APIs\, reusing crypto already on the device. We’ll demo end-to-end secure logging (router → syslog server)\, including optional server certificate pinning to reduce MITM risk\, and validate the improvement with a packet capture.\n \n We’ll then cover embedded-specific engineering details: preserving UDP logging behavior for backwards compatibility\, gating TLS behind a build-time feature flag\, testing success/failure paths (handshake and pinning errors)\, and overnight memory monitoring of syslogd. We’ll close with upstream interest in syslog over TLS and next-step considerations.

SUMMARY:Demystifying VirtIO-GPU: Building a Graphics Virtualization Bridge From Scratch - Yung-Tse Cheng\, National Taiwan Normal University & Sheng-Wen (Colin) Cheng\, The University of Texas at Austin
DESCRIPTION:Additional Authors/Contributors: Jim Huang\,&nbsp\;Assistant Professor\,&nbsp\;National Cheng Kung University\n\nVirtIO is the standard interface for device virtualization\, enabling guest systems to access host resources and powering platforms such as QEMU and ACRN\, which provide virtualized block\, network\, input\, and graphics devices.\n \n This talk takes an implementation-focused approach to virtio-gpu. We add virtio-gpu and virtio-input support to a minimalist RISC-V Linux emulator\, building a graphics virtualization bridge from the guest framebuffer to host GPU acceleration. We examine the architectural decisions and trade-offs required to make the system function end to end.\n \n Although VirtIO simplifies abstraction\, virtio-gpu remains one of its most complex devices. Enabling 3D acceleration goes beyond the specification and requires coordination with Mesa 3D and virglrenderer\, as well as compatibility with OpenGL and Vulkan. We highlight practical gaps between specification and implementation\, including memory management\, command submission\, and synchronization.\n \n Attendees will gain:\n * A clear mental model of virtio-gpu architecture\, including 2D and 3D paths\n * Practical insights into integrating Mesa 3D and virglrenderer\n \n Reference implementation: https://github.com/sysprog21/semu

SUMMARY:MOT: A Tool To Fight Open-washing in AI - Arnaud Le Hors\, IBM
DESCRIPTION:Many models referred to as "open source" are distributed under restrictive licenses and fail to include the necessary information to actually qualify as open source. Just because a model is on HuggingFace does not mean it is open source.\n \n Several attempts have been made to provide a definition of what "open source AI" ought to be but we now have a tool that can help: the Model Openness Tool (MOT).\n \n The MOT was developed by the Generative AI Commons as an implementation of the Model Openness Framework (MOF) to provide model producers and consumers with a practical way to assess how open a model really is. This session will introduce attendees to the MOT and include a demo showing how it can be used along with Hugging Face and GitHub to provide greater understanding of which models are really open.

SUMMARY:Proactive Governance To Build Sustainable OSS Projects - Dawn Foster\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:We all want our open source projects to be sustainable\, healthy\, and successful. Good governance has a much larger impact on sustainability\, health\, and project success than many people realize. Being proactive about governance before something escalates into a crisis can help avoid misunderstandings and make your projects more sustainable and successful. \n \n A lightweight governance model created at the beginning of a project can provide basic guidance about roles\, expectations\, and decision-making processes. As the project grows and matures\, governance can be expanded over time to become more robust as the project evolves. However\, good governance is about more than just defining roles and decision-making processes. It can be part of the process of building a sustainable leadership pipeline and can help to create an intentional culture that encourages participation and contributions from others.\n \n This talk will provide details about the importance of governance\, how to define project governance\, using governance as a pathway to leadership\, creating an intentional culture\, and making project ownership (e.g.\, individual\, organization\, foundation) decisions.

SUMMARY:Sponsored Session: Building Community in the Age of AI - Brian Proffitt\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:The pervasive presence &nbsp\;of generative AI presents a paradigm shift for open source development and community building. Tools like Copilot\, Claude Code\, and other large language models (LLMs) are fundamentally changing how code is created\, documentation is generated\, and\, to some extent\, how contributions are onboarded and managed. In this presentation\, Red Hat’s Brian Proffitt will explore the challenges and opportunities for cultivating vibrant\, sustainable open source communities in this new technological landscape.\n\nBrian will examine the core questions facing maintainers and contributors: How do we foster human connection and mentorship when AI can start handling routine coding tasks? What ethical and legal frameworks must be established regarding AI-generated code contributions\, licensing compliance\, and attribution? Using real-world examples such as the Fedora Project\, this session will delve into practical strategies for leveraging GenAI as an enabler rather than a disruptor.\nKey Takeaways:Use AI to accelerate developers\, not replace them. Human judgment\, review\, and accountability remain essential.Stay committed to open source and transparency. Transparency\, collaboration\, and trust matter even more in an AI world.Keep humans accountable for quality and compliance. AI-generated code must be reviewed for quality\, security\, and licensing.This session is designed for open source maintainers\, community managers\, developers\, and anyone interested in the future of collaborative software development\, offering a roadmap for thriving in an AI-integrated ecosystem where the emphasis shifts from code production to collective innovation.\n\n\n**In order to facilitate networking and business relationships at the event\, you may choose to visit a third party’s booth or access sponsored content.

SUMMARY:Zephyr at 10 Years: Survey Feedback - Kate Stewart & Hilary Carter\, The Linux Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Ten years ago\, Zephyr set out to solve a problem that many embedded teams quietly struggled with: how to build dependable real-time systems without being locked into a single vendor\, toolchain\, or proprietary stack. Before beginning the project\, open source developers were surveyed to identify the key problems they wanted to see a new open source RTOS to solve\, such as security and safety certifications. \n \n What followed over the next decade was more than steady adoption. Zephyr introduced a new model built around portability\, adoption of security best practices\, modern tooling\, and a shared ecosystem of drivers and middleware. Contributors collaborate in the open to improve performance\, connectivity\, and reliability\, enabling it to now be found embedded in products which need to last many years\, if not decades.\n \n As we head into our next 10 years\, the Zephyr project reached out again to survey RTOS users and understand better what they value\, and what the project should focus on improving in the years ahead. This talk will go through the results that LF Research team has identified from the survey and interviews\, giving a peak at the focus points going forward.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: From Embedded Artifacts To Durable Entities: Fixing State in Spinnaker - Ben Powell\, Apple
DESCRIPTION:Spinnaker historically embedded artifact data directly into pipeline execution context. As workflows grew more complex\, this approach led to oversized context payloads\, fragile retries\, and tight coupling between pipeline logic and storage representation.\n \n The Entity Store rethinks this model. By replacing embedded state with URI-based references and delegating persistence to pluggable handlers\, Spinnaker separates semantic identity from storage mechanics. Execution context becomes lighter\, more stable\, and easier to evolve.\n \n In this talk\, we’ll explore the architectural shift\, implementation tradeoffs\, migration strategy\, and what this change means for future extensibility in Spinnaker and other CD systems.

SUMMARY:Debug Everything: Building a Debuginfod Backbone for Embedded Linux at Scale - Colin Pinnell McAllister & Joshua Pevehouse\, Garmin
DESCRIPTION:Embedded Linux debugging has always required difficult trade-offs. Flash storage constraints on target devices force teams to strip debug symbols from most binaries\, leaving developers unable to debug critical applications without finding symbols elsewhere.\n \n This presentation examines our transition from limited\, on-target debug symbols to comprehensive debuggability across all binaries and build types. The key insight: while flash is expensive on embedded targets\, centralized storage is cost-effective and scalable.\n \n We adopted elfutils debuginfod to build enterprise-scale debug infrastructure integrated with our CI/CD pipeline. This has allowed us to host debug artifacts for every binary produced by continuous integration\, enabling engineers to debug any component from any build\, using standard tools like GDB\, without manual symbol management.\n \n This talk covers our journey towards using debuginfod\, the architectural decisions we made that allowed debuginfod to scale\, integration strategies with the Yocto build system\, and the impact on engineering productivity. Attendees will gain practical insights for implementing similar solutions in their organizations.

SUMMARY:Do You Need GCC To Build Embedded Linux ? - Khem Raj\, Comcast
DESCRIPTION:GCC is default toolchain for Linux based systems\, ever since the Linux Distributions were being put together from early days of Linux. However\, there have been important developements in compiler technologies and LLVM project has come along. The LLVM infrastructure has been used to build various different compilers for different languages\, Clang is the C/C++ static compiler and rust also uses LLVM. There is LLD ( LLVM Linker ) LLDB\, ( LLVM Debugger ). binutils like objcopy\, objdump\, strip etc. are also added. C/C++ compiler runtime in compiler-rt/libc++ has matured as well. The compiler has been used to build Linux Kernel already\, However\, it can be used to build full Embedded Linux Systems using infrastructure like Yocto project. This talk will showcase that a Linux system can be built completely using LLVM toolchain\, replacing the compiler\, compiler-runtime\, binutils with LLVM built tools. In addition it will also discuss the modern tooling provided with LLVM and Clang and static analyser ( clang-scan )\, clang-tidy\, clanf-format etc. show-casing additional tooling that can be used by developers e.g. sanitizers.

SUMMARY:When Your Budget Laptop Needs a Custom Kernel: A Linux Troubleshooting Adventure - Andrei Pokhilko\, Komodor
DESCRIPTION:This talk chronicles my journey of troubleshooting a Linux kernel issue on a budget Intel GeminiLake-based Chinese mini-laptop. What began as a simple hardware purchase escalated into a two-month deep dive into the i915 GPU driver when the display mysteriously went blank during initialization.\n \n I'll walk through the systematic troubleshooting approach: isolating the issue to the i915 driver\, identifying the kernel configuration options triggering the problem\, and developing a practical patch that bypasses problematic GPIO pin activation sequences. Along the way\, I'll share surprising discoveries about hardware compatibility\, kernel development complexity\, and the limitations of AI tools when facing real-world Linux challenges.\n \n This presentation is designed for Linux enthusiasts and IT professionals curious about kernel troubleshooting. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge about GPU driver internals\, confidence that such issues are solvable without specialized expertise\, and inspiration to tackle their own hardware compatibility challenges.

SUMMARY:Crawl\, Walk\, Run With Your MCP Servers - Lin Sun\, solo.io
DESCRIPTION:You have built your first MCP server and tested it with the MCP inspector\, but it only uses stdio or streamable HTTP without HTTPS. Do you rewrite your server to add authentication and authorization\, or is there a smarter way? What if you have multiple MCP servers? Can you unify them under a single virtual server without touching any of the originals? How do you deploy all of this to Kubernetes securely and reliably?\n \n In this demo-driven session\, Lin takes you from building a simple MCP server and securing it the hard way. Then she offloads authentication\, authorization\, and tool multiplexing to an MCP gateway. She will show how to deploy a virtual MCP server in Kubernetes and program an AI agent to call its tools\, making complex setups feel effortless. By the end\, you will have practical techniques to run\, secure\, and scale your MCP servers with confidence.

SUMMARY:Next Steps in Multi-agent Systems - Deborah Dahl\, Conversational Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Special-purpose agentic systems can access proprietary enterprise information or private user information\, such as financial\, health\, or employment data\, that isn’t available to large public LLMs. But\, by their nature\, specialized agents are limited to specialized knowledge. However\, more complex applications can be composed of several collaborating agents\, each with a specific expertise.\n Manual integration of information from several agents by users is possible\, but time-consuming and clumsy\, and the agents wouldn’t benefit from each other’s knowledge. A better approach would be for agents to converse directly with each other. A standard messaging protocol would enable independent agents to converse and collaborate on tasks. \n This presentation will outline two protocols that enable multi-agent systems to collaborate. The first is the Linux Foundation’s Agent-to-Agent protocol\, and the second is the Linux Foundation AI & Data Open Voice Interoperability Initiative’s Open Floor Protocol. We will describe each protocol and explain how they complement one another with demonstrations of collaborating agents.

SUMMARY:Sponsored Session: When Your AI Agent Has Keys to Production: Governance Patterns for Autonomous Development - Nicky Pike\, Coder
DESCRIPTION:Your AI agents can read your code\, call external APIs\, and hold credentials to production. Your security controls assume they're either a human or a deterministic app. They're neither.\n\nI'll walk through the patterns enterprise teams are actually using to deploy coding agents without getting burned: workspace isolation\, network egress controls\, model gateways\, and credentials that die when the workspace dies.\nReal incidents. Real deployments. No hand-waving about what might work someday.\n\n\n**In order to facilitate networking and business relationships at the event\, you may choose to visit a third party’s booth or access sponsored content.

SUMMARY:EOL\, Relicensing\, Forks: A Cautionary Tale of CVEs - Bridget Kromhout & Lachlan Evenson\, Microsoft
DESCRIPTION:Project X goes EOL at the end of this sentence\; good luck with the CVEs. Project Y has a new license meaning you can’t use it anymore\; what do you mean\, your team built something important on it? Project Z works great but you built a new feature in your fork\, and now you can’t take the upstream patches. Half of your open source environments may have a dependency on some now-defunct project\, and now everyone’s scrambling for solutions. \n \n \n \n Join experienced open source maintainers to discuss what warning signs can help prevent abrupt retirement or relicensing from taking your end users by surprise. We’ll outline the ways you can get visibility into your software supply chain and become active in the upstreams that matter most for your needs\, ensuring that you’re in control of your own destiny no matter what storm of alphabet soup comes your way.

SUMMARY:Strategic Approach To Demonstrating the Value of OSS Efforts - Dawn Foster\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:We’ve probably all had company leadership question the value of our OSS efforts. It can be difficult to frame the value in ways that resonate with leadership and clearly articulate the organizational benefits gained through continued OSS contributions. Taking a strategic approach that connects the OSS work with the broader goals and objectives of the organization can demonstrate the value of this work so that the organization can continue to allocate resources to the OSPO or other OSS teams.\n \n Using examples from my decades of experience in OSS\, this talk will provide details about how to demonstrate value by focusing on how your OSS work helps the organization achieve their strategies and goals. Every organization has unique needs and goals based on what they are trying to achieve\, so there is no “one size fits all” way of demonstrating value\, but aligning your OSS strategy with your organization’s goals and focusing on the most strategic projects can help show the value of your efforts. This talk will help you reason about how OSS efforts allow your organization to achieve its goals along with framing and communicating that value in ways that resonate with your leadership team.

SUMMARY:One Signature To Rule Them All: Portable Supply Chain Verification With Zarf - Brandt Keller\, Defense Unicorns
DESCRIPTION:Signed software creates assurances around the integrity and authenticity of how it was produced and by whom. But signing alone is not inherently valuable. The ability to verify the signature in a meaningful way elevates the process to complete the trust cycle. Blend this idea with many disparate signing mechanisms\, add the many layers of exchange as software changes hands and where the software ultimately needs to resolve verification\, combine it with many different types of artifacts\, and you end up with a complex web of requirements that can be difficult to maintain. Zarf\, an OpenSSF Sandbox project\, takes a different approach. Rather than requiring each artifact to be independently verified against external infrastructure\, Zarf consolidates artifacts into a declarative package that is pre-verified at creation time. A single signature covers the entire package. The trusted root is embedded in the CLI and the package contains the signature\, enabling meaningful verification anywhere\, including entirely airgapped environments\, with no external connectivity or additional tooling required.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Ortelius V12: Post-Deployment Security Defense for DevSecOps - Steve Taylor\, DeployHub
DESCRIPTION:Most DevSecOps pipelines stop protecting software once it is deployed\, leaving organizations blind to newly disclosed vulnerabilities impacting live systems. Ortelius addresses this gap with post-deployment security powered by a digital twin of deployed software. By mapping SBOMs to running packages\, versions\, environments\, and endpoints\, Ortelius continuously correlates live systems with vulnerability databases\, detecting critical and high-risk CVEs the moment they are published.\n \n This session will introduce the latest Ortelius release\, demonstrate new features\, and show how teams can reduce MTTR from months to days by identifying which vulnerabilities truly impact production. Attendees will learn how Ortelius integrate with platform engineering workflows to provide continuous visibility and security beyond release.\n Take Aways:\n - Why pre-deployment SCA tools alone cannot protect production systems\n - How Ortelius builds a digital twin of deployed software across clusters\, clouds\, and environments\n - How SBOMs are mapped to live endpoints to identify true attack surface exposure\n - How teams are reducing MTTR for critical CVEs to under 10 days

SUMMARY:OpenSSH + FIDO Workshop - Dennis Hills & Alan Alvarez\, Yubico
DESCRIPTION:OpenSSH has built-in support for FIDO security keys since version 8.2 (released in 2020). This means you can protect your SSH private keys using security keys\, similar to how this can be done with OpenPGP smart cards and cryptographic tokens that support PKCS#11.\n \n Although such devices all allow you to protect your private keys using cryptographic hardware\, the benefits on using FIDO include:\n \n - FIDO is easier to use\, especially for beginners\n - security keys can be used on the web as well to store passkeys\n - no need for vendor-specific software (like PKCS#11 modules)\n - security keys are inexpensive\n - FIDO features device attestation\, which lets you cryptographically prove you are using a specific security key make and model.\n \n In this talk\, we will give a short introduction to FIDO security keys\, and provide several demos of the use of security keys with OpenSSH\, such as signing arbitrary data\, authenticating to remote systems\, and using key attestation.\n \n The talk consists of a number of demos that participants can follow along on their system. Participants can bring their own security key (any vendor will do). If they do not own a security key one will be provided to them.\n\nIMPORTANT NOTES\nIn this hands-on workshop\, you will use FIDO security keys with OpenSSH for authentication\, signing and attestation. To maximize our time together\, please have the following set up before the session:\n\nPrerequisites: Participants should bring a laptop and a FIDO2 security key (we'll have some available at the session). Please have the following installed:OpenSSH 8.2+ (8.9+ preferred). Check with ssh -V&nbsp\;Git 2.34+. Check with git --version&nbsp\;Python 3.10+. Check with python3 -V Docker Desktop: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/&nbsp\;libfido2: https://developers.yubico.com/libfido2/&nbsp\;A GitHub account\n\nTo save time during the workshop\, please also run:docker pull ubuntu:latest&nbsp\;git clone https://github.com/YubicoLabs/fido-openssh-workshop.git\n\nmacOS users: the built-in OpenSSH may not support FIDO security keys. Install via Homebrew: brew install openssh libfido2

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: CDEvents: Ending the "Glue Code" Tax on Engineering Velocity - Mihir Vora & Prem Dhayalan\, Capital One
DESCRIPTION:We’ve achieved industry-wide standards for containers (docker) and orchestration (kubernetes)\, yet our delivery pipelines remain stuck in the "scripting era." In most organizations\, the connection between a security scanner\, a CI runner\, and a deployment engine isn't a standard interface—it’s mostly a fragile web of custom Python scripts and yaml/jenkinsfile hacks.\n \n This is the Glue Code Tax: a massive\, invisible drain on resources that forces engineers to spend nearly half of their time maintaining integrations rather than shipping features.\n \n This session tackles the "scripting fatigue" head-on. We will explore how to move away from fragile\, one-off pipelines toward a truly modular\, event-driven ecosystem. Using something like CDEvents standard as a blueprint\, we’ll demonstrate how tools can "signal" their status natively\, allowing you to swap out parts of your stack without rewriting your entire delivery logic. We’re moving past the era of digital duct tape and into the era of interoperable DevOps.

SUMMARY:Troubleshooting Like a Senior on Day 1: ReAct Agents With Real-Time Cluster Evidence - Bohyun Choi\, UCLIX; Woobin Hwang\, NEOWIZ Partners; TaeJi Kim\, Bungaejangter Inc
DESCRIPTION:If a production incident hits on your first day\, can you debug it? Or if you are a senior engineer\, do you find it impossible to download your years of debugging intuition into a new hire’s head?\n Kubernetes troubleshooting often depends on undocumented decision paths: where to look first\, which signals to trust\, and how to turn a sea of logs into a testable hypothesis. \n \n In this talk\, we introduce KUBE-RCA\, an open-source incident assistant that plugs into your preferred external LLM and provides real-time cluster evidence (metrics\, logs\, events) as structured context. Using a ReAct loop\, the agent proposes hypotheses\, runs an allowlisted set of read-only commands/queries\, ties each claim back to evidence\, and publishes a concise RCA draft directly to your team channel. \n \n We’ll share the design decisions behind our guardrailed execution loop and how we encode SRE intuition into prompts and checks. You’ll walk away with an understanding of how to make incident response more systematic. So engineers of any tenure can resolve issues faster\, with less senior interruption.

SUMMARY:Building Virtual Drivers With RPMsg: Key Design Principles\, Challenges & Trade-offs - Beleswar Prasad Padhi\, Texas Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Modern heterogeneous SoCs often integrate multiple remote processors (rprocs) that control peripherals for safety purposes\, alongside a general-purpose processor running a HLOS like Linux. In automotive systems\, these peripherals still need to be shared with Linux for complex use cases like Ethernet traffic sharing\, coordinating multiple display pipelines. The Remote Processor Messaging (RPMsg) framework in Linux enables this model by providing an efficient IPC mechanism\, allowing devices owned by rprocs to be exposed to Linux as standard devices through virtual kernel drivers built on top of RPMsg. With the growing adoption of this approach\, interfaces like rpmsg-gpio\, rpmsg-i2c\, rpmsg-net are becoming increasingly common.\n \n Using the upstreamed rpmsg-tty driver as an example\, this talk presents:\n 1. The key design principles for building virtual drivers with RPMsg\, covering topics like channel & endpoint management(static vs dynamic)\, synchronization.\n 2. A comparative study of RPMsg-based solutions with its VirtIO alternative\, highlighting trade-offs in latency\, resources and use case suitability.\n 3. Challenges\, upstreaming lessons\, common pitfalls and scope for future improvement.

SUMMARY:Booting Up: A Fresh Look at the Modern Init - Antra Purohit & Hemant Bharadwaj\, Microsoft
DESCRIPTION:For many\, systemd is the mysterious engine under the hood of nearly every modern Linux distribution. We use it daily—restarting services and checking logs—but how much do we actually know about how it manages our systems? If your relationship with systemctl begins and ends with copy-pasting commands from Stack Overflow\, it’s time to look deeper.\n \n This session is a practical\, beginner-friendly deep dive into the most widely adopted (and debated) init system in the open-source world. We will move beyond the "init" label to explore systemd as a comprehensive suite of management tools.\n \n Key takeaways include:\n \n The Unit Hierarchy: Understanding .service\, .timer\, and .mount files.\n \n The Boot Process: How "Targets" replace traditional runlevels.\n \n Hands-on Management: Mastering systemctl for lifecycle management and journalctl for lightning-fast debugging.\n \n DIY Services: A step-by-step guide to writing your first unit file from scratch.\n \n Whether you are a developer looking to containerize applications or a new sysadmin navigating the CLI\, this talk will provide the foundational knowledge needed to stop fearing the daemon and start commanding it.

SUMMARY:Automating MCP Server Testing: Engineering Reliability for Agentic Systems - Neethu Elizabeth Simon\, Arm
DESCRIPTION:AI agents don’t fail like traditional software. They don’t just throw exceptions\, they drift. They misinterpret tools\, invoke the wrong functions or behave differently across environments. When deploying Arm’s Open Source custom MCP server to power AI assistants for architecture development\, migration\, and optimization\, we faced a critical question: how do we test a system built for nondeterministic interaction? In this talk\, I’ll share how we moved from manual validation to a repeatable\, CI-enforced testing strategy using Pytest and Testcontainers. We spin up real MCP server in Docker during tests\, validating tool discovery\, invocation\, and protocol compliance end-to-end.\n This isn’t about mocking LLM output. It’s about testing the contract between agents and tools. The key insight: treat your MCP server like production infrastructure\, not experimental glue code. Because “it worked on my machine” is not a deployment strategy. \n Session takeaways: \n • A demo of Arm’s Open Source MCP server(github.com/arm/mcp)\n • Why unit tests are insufficient for agent-facing systems\n • How we run MCP server inside containerized test environments\n • How GitHub Actions automate CI integration testing

SUMMARY:From Image To Itinerary: Multimodal Agentic Travel Planning With MCP\, A2A\, and BeeAI - Ezequiel Lanza\, Intel
DESCRIPTION:Planning a trip is a deceptively complex problem for AI\, especially when the journey starts from visual context rather than text. In this session\, we present a multimodal-first\, local-first agentic architecture where a user uploads an image (e.g. “where is this place?”)\, and the system builds a travel plan from that visual input using Model Context Protocol (MCP)\, A2A (Agent-to-Agent)\, and BeeAI — all running fully locally without cloud dependencies.\n \n The system employs a router and specialist agent pattern\, where dedicated agents handle image understanding\, hotel search\, and flight search\, each backed by MCP servers. A multimodal model extracts meaning from the image\, after which the router decomposes the task and delegates work through A2A to the appropriate specialists.\n \n We will walk-through how BeeAI manages agent lifecycles\, how A2A enables explicit agent collaboration\, and how MCP acts as a stable contract layer between reasoning and real-world capabilities. The focus is on practical architecture\, configuration\, and lessons learned\, showing how to build MCP-centric\, multimodal systems that remain extensible\, reproducible\, and maintainable as new agents and tools are added.

With the right foundation\, agentic search and observability can accelerate innovation\, supercharge applications\, and achieve faster time-to-results.In this talk\, Bobby Mohammed\, OpenSearch Principal Product Manager for Amazon Web Services\, will demonstrate how open source\, agent-powered tools can empower developers to build production-ready applications in minutes\, democratize the complex work of designing and provisioning workloads\, and deliver the next generation of search and observability applications.\n\n\n**In order to facilitate networking and business relationships at the event\, you may choose to visit a third party’s booth or access sponsored content.

SUMMARY:The $300 Enterprise Lab: Democratizing Infrastructure Skills With Raspberry Pis & AI Agents - Derek Bowdle\, RTX & Cameron Khorsandi\, SAP
DESCRIPTION:Learning to architect robust cloud infrastructure often comes with high barriers: expensive monthly cloud bills and a lack of access to senior mentorship. How can we train the next generation of SREs and Platform Engineers without financial gatekeeping? This session explores a novel pedagogical approach: combining the physicality of a Raspberry Pi "Micro-Data Center" with the instructional power of AI coding assistants.\n \n We will demonstrate how to use low-cost edge hardware to make abstract concepts (clustering\, database sharding\, and network security) physically tangible. We will then show how to utilize LLM-based chatbots to act as real-time "Senior Architects\," guiding learners through complex configuration and troubleshooting tasks that usually require years of experience to master.\n \n Attendees will leave with:\n \n - A blueprint for building a low-cost\, enterprise-grade learning lab.\n \n - Strategies for using AI agents to accelerate learning in Kubernetes\, networking\, and security.\n \n - A method to simulate "Catastrophic Failure" (e.g.\, pulling a plug) to learn resilience safely.

SUMMARY:Merge\, Maintain\, or Move On? Deciding the Fate of an Open Source Project - Robin Ginn\, OpenJS Foundation
DESCRIPTION:When does maintaining a project become more harmful than helpful? As the leader of the OpenJS Foundation\, home to Node.js and more\, I will give a candid talk to unpack the hardest question in open source: how do you know when it’s time to let go? Drawing from real-world examples from leading one of the web’s most widely used open source foundations and its JavaScript projects like Lodash\, jQuery\, and Express\, I will explore what it means to responsibly sunset a project\, merge with others\, or double down on maintenance. You’ll learn how to read the signs for security and sustainability\, engage the community\, and what it takes to wrap up a project with integrity\, especially when billions of developers still rely on it.

SUMMARY:Scaling Your OSPO With Agents and Automation: Lessons From GitHub's Open Source Program - Ashley Wolf\, GitHub
DESCRIPTION:As open source adoption grows\, the role of the OSPO expands with it. At GitHub\, we saw an opportunity to scale our capabilities by automating the repetitive work—like checklists\, scans\, reports\, and audits—that every program office handles.\n \n In this session\, I’ll outline how we evaluated AI agents to handle the heavy lifting of data gathering and analysis. We’ll look at practical use cases for automating OSPO activities like review\, compliance\, reporting\, including dependency analysis and license detection\, using data from sources like ClearlyDefined and OpenSSF Scorecard.\n \n Join me as we explore the patterns that worked\, the surprises we encountered\, and how these workflows provide a comprehensive view of project health for OSPOs. You’ll leave with a framework for applying AI\, agents\, agentic workflows to your own OSPO’s challenges\, helping you scale your operations efficiently across the entire open source lifecycle.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Alcoholless: Lightweight Security Sandbox for Homebrew\, AI Agents\, Etc. - Akihiro Suda\, NTT
DESCRIPTION:This presentation introduces "Alcoholless" Homebrew\, which protects macOS hosts from potential malicious Homebrew packages by running Homebrew with a separate user account. A command running with this tool is only allowed to read and write its current directory.\n \n While Alcoholless puts focus on Homebrew\, it is also applicable to other package managers such as `pip install`\, `npm install`\, and `go install`. Aside from package management\, it is even useful for running AI coding agents that may potentially execute harmful commands.\n \n Alcoholless is also an attempt to reexamine the necessity of Linux-style containers that emerged in this century. It just utilizes 1990s' commands (`su`\, `sudo`\, `rsync`) and the macOS equivalent of `useradd` to implement container-like environments\, without extending the XNU kernel to support Linux-style container syscalls.\n \n Repository: https://github.com/AkihiroSuda/alcless

SUMMARY:From Pre‑Silicon To Production: Firmware Development on Zephyr - Dev Bhaveshbhai Joshi\, Qualcomm Technologies Inc.
DESCRIPTION:When our production power‑management IC (PMIC) firmware moved to Zephyr\, it opened the door for us to streamline our development and validation workflow. Our production firmware used a proprietary RTOS\, which required maintaining a separate codebase for pre-silicon validation. By standardizing on Zephyr\, an RTOS supported across hundreds of MCUs\, we were able to use single application codebase across the entire development flow.\n \n In this talk\, I’ll describe how we built a Zephyr‑based pre-silicon PMIC testing platform\, enabling the same application to run on both the production as well as pre‑silicon hardware running on a completely different SoC (Raspberry Pi Pico) and a custom evaluation kit. I will briefly outline the software architecture: the application running on Zephyr with board configuration defined through device tree and Kconfig. I will also cover the hardware architecture that connects the Pico to the PMIC evaluation kit\, and the Twister‑based Hardware-in-loop tests we incorporated for validation.\n \n I’ll close by highlighting how Zephyr’s broad hardware support and tooling helped simplify our workflow and reduce duplicate effort across multiple platforms.

SUMMARY:Keynote: AI in CI/CD Without the Hype: Practical Patterns for Platform Engineers - Jennifer Mulford\, Okta
DESCRIPTION:AI is being discussed as the next evolution of CI/CD\, but much of that conversation skips over the realities faced by platform and infrastructure teams responsible for reliability\, security\, and trust. In practice\, introducing AI into pipelines requires restraint\, clear boundaries\, and a strong understanding of where AI use helps and where it creates risk.\n This talk focuses on practical\, open-source approaches to using AI in CI/CD pipelines today. We’ll explore patterns where AI acts as a copilot: summarizing pull requests\, generating test suggestions\, helping engineers interpret CI failures\, and enriching security signals while keeping humans firmly in control of decisions.\n The session will also cover security concerns\, prompt injection risks\, secrets exposure\, and the importance of treating AI output as untrusted input. We’ll discuss guardrails that help teams experiment safely\, such as read-only workflows\, explicit review steps\, and self-hosted or open-source tooling that avoids sending proprietary code to third-party services.\n Attendees will leave with a clear mental model for evaluating AI use cases in their own pipelines and an understanding of the tradeoffs involved.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Artifacts That Explain Themselves: Build Metadata in Practice - Socheat Sou & Prajakta Kashalkar-Joshi\, IBM
DESCRIPTION:It's common practice to include the Git commit hash in a container image label to serve as a reference\, but are you using container labels (and artifact metadata) to their full potential? By embedding metadata into your artifacts you expand your GitOps capabilities. Implement a simple build-cache-like mechanism when building your artifacts\, generate robust changelogs across your multi-repo product\, or provide better transparency to your security team for their audits and reports. It's even possible to perform Git Bisect-like problem determination between built images. While this talk will explore real-world examples using container images as portable sources of truth\, these concepts can be applied anywhere it's possible to add additional metadata to built artifacts.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: When Pipelines Decide: Governing Speed\, Trust\, and Accountability in AI-Driven CI/CD - Sundeep Bobba\, Southwest Airlines & Naga Sujitha Vummaneni\, Ripple
DESCRIPTION:AI and autonomous agents are now coming into CI/CD pipelines more and more. Earlier they only followed instructions. Now they help in testing\, deciding releases\, approving deployments\, and sometimes fixing problems on their own. This is a big change. Because of this\, we need to think again about speed\, security\, and who is responsible when something goes wrong.\n \n This session talks about few important things\, in simple way:\n \n • Moving from only making pipelines faster to also adding control. DevOps is not just optimization now\, it also needs governance and good system design.\n • Practical patterns from real work. Architecture and team setups that people can actually use and scale.\n • Rules for bots that do not slow humans. Policy driven guardrails for autonomous pipelines.\n • Clear decision points. Who decides what\, and when humans must step in.\n • Human oversight at scale. Reviews that still matter but do not block delivery.\n • Security from the beginning. Audit logs\, policy enforcement\, and safe handling when signals are not very clear.

SUMMARY:BoF: DRA for AI Workloads: Where Does the Spec Need To Go Next? - Yahav Biran\, Amazon
DESCRIPTION:Kubernetes Dynamic Resource Allocation is now being adopted by hardware vendors implementing drivers for accelerators and high-speed networking. But as real-world AI workloads hit the spec—disaggregated inference across multiple nodes\, topology-aware co-location of compute and network devices\, per-workload hardware configuration—gaps are emerging. This Birds of a Feather session invites platform engineers\, infrastructure teams\, and Kubernetes contributors to compare notes on where DRA works well and where the spec leaves teams filling in the blanks themselves. We will use the AWS Trainium Neuron DRA driver as a concrete reference point to ground the discussion\, then open the floor: What attributes should be standardized across vendors? How should multi-device atomic allocation be handled? What does the community need to build so that DRA delivers on its promise across all accelerator hardware?

SUMMARY:Engineering Quality in a Fast-Moving Open Source Project: WPE WebKit - Mario Sanchez-Prada\, Igalia
DESCRIPTION:Building an embedded product on top of a large Open Source codebase like WPE WebKit is only the first step. The real challenge is keeping its quality stable as thousands of lines evolve and hundreds of changes land every week across multiple platforms.\n \n In such an environment\, errors and regressions are inevitable. What matters is detecting them quickly\, understanding their impact\, and reacting before they propagate further. This talk focuses on the engineering work that makes this possible\, an effort that is essential yet often invisible.\n \n Using WPE WebKit as a case study\, we will explore how quality becomes a continuous engineering effort rather than a final validation phase and how CI and QA infrastructure\, testing strategies\, and processes (e.g. stabilization windows) sustain upstream development while supporting downstream deployments. We will show how these feedback loops reinforce each other and why aligning upstream and downstream processes is critical to keep quality stable over time.\n \n This talk targets engineers\, maintainers\, and technical leaders working on large Open Source projects\, as well as teams building products on top of them who need to sustain quality at scale.

SUMMARY:KernelScript: Unifying EBPF\, Userspace\, and Kernel Extensions in One Language - Cong Wang\, Multikernel Technologies
DESCRIPTION:eBPF has made Linux highly extensible\, but production eBPF systems remain fragmented and complex. Developers must write raw C for eBPF\, separate userspace loaders\, manage BTF compatibility\, handle tail calls\, dynptr APIs\, and sometimes build kernel modules for kfunc support\, all across different build systems.\n \n KernelScript is a domain-specific open-source programming language that unifies eBPF\, userspace\, and kernel extension development in a single\, type-safe source file. It introduces multi-target compilation\, automatic tail-call orchestration\, transparent map and dynptr handling\, lifecycle-safe program loading/attaching\, and built-in kfunc support that generates kernel module scaffolding automatically.\n \n This talk presents the language design\, verifier-aware type system\, and compiler architecture behind KernelScript\, along with real examples combining XDP\, TC\, probes\, userspace coordination\, and custom kernel functions.\n \n KernelScript explores a broader question: what should the next generation of Linux extensibility tooling look like?

SUMMARY:Who You Gonna Call? Taming OpenClaw's Rogue AI Agents With OpenTelemetry and Tetragon - Henrik Rexed\, Dynatrace
DESCRIPTION:There's something strange in your infrastructure. Who you gonna call?\n OpenClaw \, the open source AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot\, then Moltbot exploded past 150\,000 GitHub stars in weeks. It connects LLMs to your messaging platforms\, terminal\, and file system\, giving AI full autonomous control. But like a Ghostbusters ghost\, it wreaks havoc: $20 in tokens burned overnight to check the time\, a one-click RCE (CVE-2026-25253)\, 21\,000 exposed instances\, and 341 malicious skills in the marketplace.\n I will straps on my proton pack to bust these ghosts with open source tools. First\, the OpenClaw Observability Plugin : \n - an OpenTelemetry-based plugin capturing full agent lifecycle traces: request → agent turn → tool calls\, with per-tool timing\, token breakdowns\, and error tracking. Your PKE meter for rogue AI. \n - Then\, Tetragon \, eBPF-powered kernel-level policies restricting file access\, network connections\, and process execution. The containment unit no prompt injection can escape. A live demo ties it all together: OpenClaw + observability plugin + Tetragon\, with traces and security events flowing into one dashboard.\n We came\, we saw\, we traced it.

SUMMARY:Kubernetes Cluster Creation Landscape - The Easy and the Hard Ways - Wendy Ha\, SEEK
DESCRIPTION:As a Kubernetes user\, have you ever wondered how clusters from different vendors and distributions remain consistent? Whether running in the cloud or on-premises\, workloads behave the same way without modification\, and applications can move between platforms without being rewritten. This consistency is made possible by the Certified Kubernetes Conformance Program run by CNCF\, which ensures distributions meet upstream Kubernetes standards.\n \n However\, conformance validates runtime behavior\, not how clusters are created. Cluster provisioning approaches varies widely across providers\, leading to configuration drift\, inconsistent upgrades\, and operational complexity at scale.\n \n To address these challenges\, the Kubernetes Special Interest Group Cluster Lifecycle introduced Cluster API\, bringing declarative APIs to cluster provisioning and lifecycle management.\n \n In this beginner-friendly session\, I will walk you through the full landscape for Kubernetes cluster creation\, and share insights from a contributor’s perspective on why Cluster API exists\, the problems it solves\, and how community-driven effort helps make cluster creation more consistent and sustainable.

SUMMARY:Taming MCP Server Sprawl: Securing and Scaling the Model Context Protocol in Production - Jeffrey Borek & Olivia Buzek\, IBM
DESCRIPTION:As AI agents transition from pilots to production systems\, enterprises are rapidly adopting the open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect models with tools\, data\, and services. But this flexibility introduces a new challenge: MCP server sprawl. Proliferating endpoints\, inconsistent trust models\, weak identity controls\, and unclear governance can quickly create operational and security risk. This session explains what MCP is\, why its adoption is accelerating\, and where architectural pitfalls emerge at scale. Developers will learn key design principles for secure deployment\, including authentication patterns\, authorization boundaries\, observability\, lifecycle management\, and policy enforcement. Attendees will leave with a practical mental model for building MCP integrations that remain composable\, governable\, and production-ready as ecosystems evolve.

SUMMARY:StageX: Rebuilding Trust Through Multi-Signed\, Full-Source Bootstrapped\, and Reproducible Builds - Danny Grove\, Manifest Cyber & Lance Vick\, Distrust
DESCRIPTION:Most Linux distributions trust individual maintainers with complete package control\, creating critical supply chain vulnerabilities. StageX rebuilds this trust model from scratch with a radically different approach: no single person or computer can compromise the system.\n StageX requires fully bit-for-bit reproducible builds verified and signed by multiple independent parties before release. Built from 181 bytes of machine code\, StageX bootstraps modern toolchains that can be used in container-native and static contexts.\n This talk demonstrates StageX's approach to full-source bootstrapping\, bit-for-bit reproducibility and multi-party verification\; contrasts it with other reproducible build efforts like NixOS/Guix\, and shows how its container-native design provides practical security guarantees. You'll learn how to implement these approaches in your own infrastructure to build software from toolchain to deployment.

SUMMARY:Beyond Static Devicetrees: Implementing Runtime Hardware Dynamism in Zephyr - Wai-Hong Tam & Jason Yuan\, Google
DESCRIPTION:Zephyr’s build-time configuration excels at efficiency\, but challenges mass production. When a single product design needs to support dozens of hardware variations\, e.g. swapping out sensors or chargers due to supply chain constraints\, the standard build flow often leads to managing a unique binary for every combination. This creates a validation nightmare.\n \n This talk presents an architectural framework used in the ChromeOS Embedded Controller that brings runtime adaptability to Zephyr\, achieving Linux-like flexibility without the memory overhead of a live DTB parser.\n \n We cover two specific patterns:\n 1. Dynamic Driver Selection: We treat the Devicetree as a pool of supported components. By reading a configuration bitfield from manufacturing data (EEPROM or protected flash) at boot\, the firmware dynamically initializes only the correct drivers for that specific unit.\n \n 2. Safe Hardware Discovery: Zephyr compiles away hardware descriptions\, leaving the host OS blind to connected peripherals. We introduce a pipeline that exports Devicetree definitions into a "Component Manifest". This enables safe OS-level verification\, avoiding the risks of "blind probing" on I2C buses.

SUMMARY:Why Is It Always DNS?: Rethinking & Engineering Node-Level DNS Resolution in Kubernetes - Shaheen Sayyed & Ankur Singh\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:Is it DNS or is it network? & why is answer always DNS? In K8s\, most clusters quietly rely on /etc/resolv.conf on every node for all non-service name resolution. At scale\, this dependency becomes a liability\, reducing caching & observability while causing fragile forwarding\, higher latency\, upstream resolver overload\, and host-level divergence in multi-cloud environments\n \n This talk will explain how K8s actually consumes node DNS today & then present two solutions: CoreDNS for large\, complex clusters\; dnsmasq for medium scale that bring deterministic caching\, controlled forwarding\, traffic steering\, and real visibility—turning DNS from black box into an engineered system component\n \n Attendees will gain a framework to choose DNS implementation strategies by understanding trade-offs based on cluster scale\, workload type and platform maturity. We’ll compare CoreDNS & dnsmasq\, surface real failure modes\, & show how different designs affect latency\, reliability\, & blast radius.

SUMMARY:The Architecture of Accountability: Transparency in Software - Hayden Blauzvern\, Google
DESCRIPTION:In the context of secure systems\, "transparency" is often a loaded term. We will propose a precise definition: the guarantee of discoverability and auditability. Transparency is the difference between a system that merely claims to be secure and a system that provides proof of its security claims.\n \n This session offers a high-level primer on the principles of cryptographic transparency. We will discuss how to design transparent applications and explore the tooling available to create tamper-evident systems. We will examine how this pattern has already been used\, from Certificate Transparency providing auditability for web PKI\, Binary Transparency securing software delivery\, and Key Transparency hardening messaging applications. We will demonstrate how transparency can be applied for emerging frontiers as well\, such as AI model provenance and news authenticity.\n \n Finally\, we will discuss the ongoing specifications work to standardize transparency primitives and highlight opportunities to participate. Attendees will leave with a clear mental model for transparency by design\, ready to build systems where accountability is a default feature\, not an afterthought.

SUMMARY:Bootph: A Swiss Army Knife for Boot-Time Optimization - Gokul Praveen & Beleswar Prasad Padhi\, Texas Instruments
DESCRIPTION:With more stringent regulations for automotive usecases\, every millisecond of boot time is critical. Safety features like rear-view camera and surround view must start working quickly to meet regulations. A typical solution is to have custom boot loaders as they are often faster than U-Boot and the memory footprint of U-Boot has been increasing as device trees grow larger. However\, U-Boot provides significant advantages: rich driver model\, broad hardware and strong community support.\n \n This raises an important question: how can U-Boot be made a more attractive alternative to custom RTOS bootloaders w.r.t boot time and memory footprint? The answer lies in "bootph" (boot phase) tags\, which enable selective node tagging to solve the above-mentioned problems.\n \n This session aims to cover the following:\n 1. Overview of U-Boot boot phases(SPL\, VPL\, TPL & U-Boot proper).\n 2. Deep dive into bootph tags: usage\, meaning\, and how they affect each boot phase.\n 3. Common pitfalls: accidentally removing SPL-required nodes\, over-tagging shared peripherals\, and overusing bootph-all tag.\n 4. A live case study demonstrating how U-Boot matched the boot time of a custom RTOS bootloader on the TI J7200 SoC.

SUMMARY:What Developers Should Know About Hardware Architecture - Dave Neary\, Ampere Computing
DESCRIPTION:The classic Java mantra\, "write once\, run anywhere\," suggested that developers should be able to rely on the JVM to handle the intricacies of different hardware environments. For all modern high level languages\, we expect compilers and language runtimes to “abstract away” the hardware for application developers. However\, the hardware can still impact application performance. Developers and architects should know enough about the behavior of the underlying hardware to avoid pitfalls and take advantage of opportunities to maximize performance. In this talk\, you will learn about: - How modern CPU pipelining and memory models can impact application performance - How to think about data locality and memory access patterns when choosing algorithms for your applications - Some Arm64 features you can leverage to improve performance This session is ideal for software developers who want to understand how server architecture influences application performance\, and how to make informed decisions about the underlying architecture when deploying applications to the cloud.

SUMMARY:Scaling LLM Inference With Tiered Caching: Extending LMCache With Amazon SageMaker HyperPod - Yihua Cheng\, Tensormesh\, Inc. & Ziwen Ning
DESCRIPTION:LMCache supports tiered KV caching with CPU memory offloading\, extending inference beyond GPU memory limits. But what happens when local CPU memory isn't enough? This session introduces the next tier: offloading KV cache to Amazon SageMaker HyperPod managed storage\, expanding cache capacity for large-scale LLM inference.\n \n We'll cover the technical design of the SageMaker HyperPod connector contribution to LMCache. Hot entries stay in GPU memory\, warm entries spill to CPU memory\, and cold entries persist to HyperPod's managed storage. This three-tier architecture lets organizations cache far more context than local resources allow\, reducing redundant computation for repeated prompts and long-context scenarios.\n \n The session demonstrates the integration in action\, showing cache hit rates\, latency across tiers\, and how the connector handles transitions between local and remote storage. We'll discuss key engineering decisions\, including async prefetching and failure handling.\n \n Attendees will leave with practical knowledge of how managed cloud storage can extend open source caching frameworks for LLM inference infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Fuzzing Zephyr Apps - Struggles of Dynamic Analysis on Embedded Applications - Jayashree Srinivasan\, Analog Devices
DESCRIPTION:Fuzzing\, a type of dynamic analysis\, is a testing method to find security flaws in software during execution. It involves providing randomized inputs to the application and observing for crashes. \n \n Embedded applications present unique fuzzing challenges. Unlike general-purpose software\, they run continuously in real-time without terminating\, making it hard to use traditional fuzzing approaches. They receive inputs through specialized peripherals or direct memory/register accesses that require accurate modeling. Fuzzers must generate inputs satisfying highly constrained validation checks while maintaining application state\, and crash detection is complicated by the lack of clear program termination.\n \n Existing solutions use hardware\, emulation\, or rehosted systems with modeled peripherals\, employing full source code level\, binary-only or API-level fuzzing. Zephyr's current libFuzzer integration targets unit-level API fuzzing but misses system-wide bugs. We aim to integrate AFL++\, a popular fuzzing engine\, to create a generalized fuzzing strategy across Zephyr's supported platforms. Though still in development\, we're exploring the optimal approach to achieve this integration.

SUMMARY:The Probabilistic Pipeline: From Green To Safe - Mihir Vora\, Capital One
DESCRIPTION:CI/CD has trained us to trust one signal: green means go. But modern systems don't fail in binary. A one-line UI tweak can trigger a 45-minute test marathon\, while a risky change can go green and still take production down. The issue isn't "bad pipelines" - it's that pass/fail is no longer a reliable proxy for safe. In this talk I introduce the Probabilistic Pipeline: shipping as risk management\, not static gating. The pipeline produces a per-change risk/confidence score from signals you already have: diff blast radius\, service criticality\, incident hotspots\, flaky tests\, dependency/config deltas\, and real-time system health (delivery events + telemetry). That score routes changes through adaptive lanes - Fast\, Standard\, Hardened - so low-risk work gets lightweight checks + automated canaries\, while higher-risk work earns deeper validation\, safer rollout\, and tighter oversight. You'll leave with a reference architecture\, a concrete example and guardrails that keep trust: explainable scores\, deterministic security/compliance hard floors\, and a feedback loop that learns from outcomes. No ML background required - this is about practical delivery design.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Why Don't AI Technologies and CI/CD Pipelines Get Along? - Ryo Sugahara\, NTT DATA GROUP Corporation
DESCRIPTION:AI technologies are fundamentally transforming the landscape of IT system development. While they are increasingly applied across a wide range of development tasks\, their potential remains largely untapped within CI/CD pipelines.\n \n I have personally experimented with applying AI technologies to CI/CD pipelines in an effort to build more effective and intelligent workflows. However\, these attempts did not lead to the expected results. This experience raises an important question: why is the integration of AI technologies into CI/CD pipelines so challenging?\n \n In this session\, I will explore the practical and conceptual barriers encountered when applying AI technologies to CI/CD pipelines\, and examine the underlying reasons behind their apparent lack of compatibility\, drawing on firsthand experience. This exploration is still a work in progress. Rather than presenting a success story\, this session aims to frame the problem clearly and honestly.\n \n Also\, by raising key questions and sharing lessons learned from failed attempts\, this session seeks to encourage broader discussion and invite more practitioners to engage with this challenge and collaboratively explore possible paths forward.

DESCRIPTION:With everything changing in tech at a frenetic pace\, the emphasis on developer productivity has overshadowed the true essence of developer experience (DevEx). While frameworks like SPACE\, getDX\, and DORA metrics provide valuable insights\, they often miss the mark on capturing developers' real\, day-to-day experiences using tools and services\, instead focusing strictly on the bottom line for the company. Meanwhile\, developers and practitioners are job-hopping more than ever. \nThis talk will explore the origins and evolution of "developer experience\," dissect popular frameworks\, and advocate for a more balanced approach that values the practitioner's perspective. At the end we will set a path towards integrating top-down metrics with bottom-up feedback\, ensuring an approach to developer experience that fosters innovation and satisfaction.

SUMMARY:Monolithic To Cloud Native: Lessons From Migrating Heroku To EKS at Scale - Mateen Anjum\, Phono Technologies Inc
DESCRIPTION:When our platform served a SaaS company growing from \n 9M$ to $100M ARR\, we faced a decision every scaling team encounters: stay on Heroku or migrate to Kubernetes. We chose migration. This talk shares the real lessons from moving 47 microservices to EKS while maintaining 99.9% uptime.\n \n I will cover the migration patterns that worked\, the ones that failed spectacularly\, and the operational changes that made the difference between success and rollback. You will learn how we reduced API latency from 700ms to 70ms\, why our first three migration attempts failed\, and what "production ready" actually means when your customers include enterprise clients with strict SLAs.\n \n This is not a vendor pitch or theoretical framework. It is a practitioner's account of what happens when you bet your platform on Kubernetes and have to deliver.\n \n Attendees will leave with a realistic migration checklist\, common failure patterns to avoid\, and honest metrics on what to expect during and after migration.

SUMMARY:Leveraging U-Boot Binman With Hardware Security Modules (HSM) for Secure Boot - Riya Aysola & Judith Mendez\, Texas Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Secure boot is becoming essential for more embedded Linux systems\, yet secure firmware signing at scale remains challenging. Traditional approaches often rely on manual\, locally managed scripts and cryptographic keys\, leading to increased security risks from development to production environments. This presentation demonstrates a practical approach to secure boot image creation using U-Boot's Binman tool integrated with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for cryptographic signing. We examine how Binman assembles multi-stage boot images and delegates signing to HSMs\, protecting private keys while enabling automated builds. We will also explore how Binman's signing workflow can be adapted to support various HSM deployment models. Attendees will understand how image signing with Binman establishes a secure boot chain of trust\, why HSM-backed signing is critical for production systems\, and how open-source tools can be combined with security best practices to create more robust and scalable firmware signing workflows. The goal is to help the broader open-source ecosystem adopt more standardized and secure practices for firmware image creation and signing suitable for production deployment

SUMMARY:Beyond Vector Search: Building Knowledge Graphs for Autonomous Infrastructure - Torsten Boettjer\, Rescile
DESCRIPTION:Modern platform engineering has a 'context' problem. As infrastructure scales across Kubernetes\, hybrid clouds\, and internal developer platforms (IDPs) like Backstage\, traditional RAG systems struggle to answer multi-hop queries like 'Which services depend on this failing database?' or 'What is the blast radius of this IAM change?'\n In this session\, we explore how GraphRAG—a combination of Knowledge Graphs and LLMs—solves the reasoning gap that vector-only search leaves behind. We will demonstrate how to index infrastructure as a graph of entities and relationships\, allowing AI agents to perform complex root-cause analysis and automate documentation. Attendees will leave with a blueprint for building an open-source GraphRAG pipeline to turn platform data into actionable intelligence."

SUMMARY:From FreeRTOS To Zephyr: A Practical Migration Guide for Embedded Developers - Jacob Beningo\, Beningo Embedded Group
DESCRIPTION:FreeRTOS has long been the go-to RTOS for embedded developers. But as projects grow in complexity\, demanding better modularity\, richer middleware\, and long-term maintainability\, teams are turning to Zephyr. The migration\, however\, can feel daunting. Different APIs\, build systems\, configuration models\, and abstractions create a steep learning curve. This session delivers a practical\, step-by-step guide for transitioning from FreeRTOS to Zephyr with confidence. We'll map the similarities and differences between the two RTOSes\, demonstrate migration strategies for tasks\, queues\, and synchronization primitives\, and show how to translate existing FreeRTOS designs into Zephyr's ecosystem — covering proven tips to avoid common pitfalls\, validate your port\, and leverage Zephyr's strengths from device trees to vendor-neutral drivers. Key Takeaways: - Core architectural differences between FreeRTOS and Zephyr - Migrating primitives (tasks\, queues\, semaphores\, timers) to Zephyr equivalents - Adapting build systems\, configuration\, and drivers - Best practices for validating and testing migrated code - Leveraging Zephyr's ecosystem for scalability and long-term support

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Simple Yet Scalable MLOps: Bridging the Gap Between Data Science and CI/CD - Sachin Garg\, NavankurIT; Sameeksha Garg\, Carnegie Mellon University
DESCRIPTION:The transition of Machine Learning (ML) models from experimental notebooks to reliable production environments often reveals a significant disconnect between Data Scientists and Infrastructure/Operations teams. While traditional DevOps has mastered code delivery\, the unique "state" of ML—comprising both code and massive datasets—requires a specialized evolution: MLOps. This session provides a practical roadmap for building a simple yet highly scalable CI/CD pipeline using a purely open-source stack.\n \n We begin by addressing the critical challenge of Model Reproducibility. Standard version control systems like Git excel at managing algorithms but fail when handling the 500MB weights or multi-gigabyte training sets typical of modern ML. Our proposed architecture integrates DVC (Data Version Control) to version-control data alongside source code\, ensuring that every deployment is fully traceable and repeatable.

SUMMARY:Keynote Panel: From Repo to Rocketship: How Open Source Foundations Supercharge AI Ecosystems - Deepyaman Datta\, Open Source Maintainer; Jakub Kuderski\, AMD; Libby Clark\, AWS; Lin Sun\, Solo.io; Stephen Chin\, Neo4j
DESCRIPTION:AI infrastructure is moving faster than any single company can sustainably steward: data formats\, vector search\, orchestration\, inference\, evaluation\, and agent interoperability all need to evolve in the open to win broad adoption. This panel explores why neutral open source foundations matter for the next decade of AI\, and how foundation-backed governance turns promising projects into durable ecosystems.\n\nTopics include how open governance reduces fragmentation and vendor lock-in\, why trademarks and clear contribution rules accelerate enterprise adoption\, how graduated lifecycle models signal maturity\, and how interoperability standards unlock composability across tools and platforms. Panelists will share practical lessons on scaling contributor communities\, balancing commercial incentives with community trust\, and using foundation structures to create long-term technical roadmaps that outlive any single hype cycle. The audience will leave with concrete patterns for launching\, donating\, or growing AI projects under a foundation\, and for building ecosystems that are both innovative and production-ready.

SUMMARY:From Guidance To Guardrails: Cost & Carbon Policy-as-Code With OPA in CI - Machiko Shinozuka & Kouki Hama\, NTT\, Inc
DESCRIPTION:Several guidelines such as FinOps Framework and Green Software Patterns provide principles for cloud optimization\, but they include both abstract ideas and practical details with multiple concerns like cost and sustainability. This makes human reviews inconsistent. In this talk\, we show how such guidance can be evaluated consistently in CI using Open Policy Agent (OPA).\n \n We present a two-layer policy design: evaluation logic stays small and readable in Rego\, while policy rules such as thresholds and exceptions are defined in structured JSON. This separation makes policies easier to maintain by contributors without Rego expertise. CI checks consume an input schema derived from configuration or IaC artifacts and return review-ready decisions—allow\, warn\, or block—along with a rule identifier\, rationale\, and a suggested follow-up.\n \n What you will learn:\n ・How to extract checkable criteria from abstract guidance\n ・How to design a stable input schema\n ・How to structure a rules catalog so that policy evaluation remains possible even when multiple concerns interact\n ・How to run a policy change process that does not depend on a small set of Rego experts

SUMMARY:Optimizing Power Consumption in Embedded Linux: Techniques and Tradeoffs - Kendall Willis\, Texas Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Modern embedded systems look to minimize power consumption without compromising the performance of the system. To address this challenge\, Linux provides comprehensive frameworks for dynamic power management that adapt system performance in response to workload demands. This talk explores the pieces that form the foundation of Linux power optimization and demonstrates how to leverage these tools in real-world scenarios.\nThe key principles for reducing the power consumption of the embedded system include turning off inactive devices\, reducing clock frequency\, and lowering supply voltage. Linux provides frameworks such as Runtime PM to suspend inactive devices\, CPUIdle for intelligent idle state management\, DevFreq for memory and device frequency optimization\, and CPUFreq for dynamic CPU frequency scaling. By leveraging these tools\, systems can reduce power dissipation while still meeting the demands of the application use case\, without sacrificing performance. Through a practical case study on a TI AM62L SoC running a display application\, this talk explores how different power optimization techniques interact and sometimes conflict\, requiring iterative tuning to find optimal operating points.\n\nAttendees will gain actionable optimization strategies\, awareness of common pitfalls when subsystems interact\, and practical debugging approaches applicable to their own embedded Linux projects.\n\n

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots With Context Graphs - Stephen Chin\, Neo4j
DESCRIPTION:AI systems need more than intelligence\; they need context that persists. Without it\, even strong models can misinterpret information\, lose decision rationale\, or repeat the same mistakes. Context Graphs have emerged as a practical pattern for agentic AI: a living graph that captures not only what was retrieved or known\, but how context led to actions through tool calls\, constraints\, policies\, and outcomes\, stitched across entities and time so precedent becomes searchable.\n \n This talk explores context engineering as the discipline of designing that context layer\, and shows how context graphs complement retrieval by enabling multi-hop\, structured context assembly (building on GraphRAG-style hierarchical summaries) while improving explainability and evaluation. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how to build context pipelines that combine contextual retrieval with persistent memory and provenance\, and why context graphs are becoming central to trustworthy\, enterprise-ready AI systems.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: AI Can Contribute. It Can't Lead - Lahari Chowtoori\, AWS
DESCRIPTION:AI is doing real work in open source. Answering questions\, reviewing PRs\, writing patches. Some communities ban it\, others label it. Most will accept it because policing AI is exhausting and the tooling is useful.\n \n Here's what bothers me. Everyone argues about allowing AI contributions. Nobody talks about what we lose when humans stop doing the work. AI can write code. But it can't show up to community calls for two years. It can't help someone push their first PR. It can't convince a burned-out maintainer to stay. Leadership isn't a pull request. It's a relationship.\n \n We have a leadership problem. Projects lose maintainers faster than they grow new ones. AI makes it worse by paving over entry-level work that used to get people involved.\n \n The policy landscape is messy. Apache requires disclosure. OpenTelemetry treats AI as a tool. Linux Kernel won't accept patches without a human behind them. These policies reveal how communities define contribution\, accountability\, and belonging.\n \n My argument is simple. Stop fighting AI. Start investing in what it can't do. Mentoring. Building trust. Growing leaders. That's what's at risk.

SUMMARY:Small Government\, Big Problems: Utilizing OSS To Support Our Citizens - Bob Henderson\, Cass County Government
DESCRIPTION:Small and local governments face an outsized challenge: rising expectations from citizens paired with shrinking budgets\, limited staff\, and a complex technology landscape. Finding modern\, secure\, and sustainable solutions often feels impossible when proprietary systems are expensive\, rigid\, and dependent on vendors that may not fully understand public sector realities. Staffing constraints make it even harder—small teams are expected to maintain critical services\, manage security\, and deliver innovation.\n \n This session explores how open source software can help governments break out of that cycle. We’ll examine how open source provides flexibility\, transparency\, and long-term sustainability\, while reducing vendor lock-in and enabling collaboration across agencies. We’ll also address common concerns around support\, security\, and staffing\, and discuss practical models for leveraging vendors and community expertise without sacrificing control.\n \n Finally\, we’ll tackle the fear\, uncertainty\, and doubt (FUD) that often surrounds open source in government\, separating myth from reality and showing how open source can empower small governments to deliver big outcomes for their citizens.

SUMMARY:Trusted Publishing: Eliminating Credentials From Your Release Workflow - Mike Fiedler\, Python Software
DESCRIPTION:In February 2024\, about 10% of PyPI uploads used Trusted Publishers. By October 2025\, that number exceeded 25%\, a massive shift toward eliminating long-lived credentials. For maintainers still using stored API tokens\, this talk demonstrates why and how to modernize. Trusted Publishing uses OpenID Connect (OIDC) to generate short-lived\, automatically-scoped tokens from CI/CD environments. No passwords. No API tokens to rotate. No secrets stored in repositories. This talk walks through setting up Trusted Publishers for GitHub Actions (as an example\, but others are available)\, explains the security model in accessible terms\, and shares case studies\, including how Sigstore integration enabled forensic investigation of the 2024 Ultralytics compromise. Attendees will learn the step-by-step setup process\, common pitfalls and troubleshooting\, and migration strategies for maintainers with many packages. The session also covers why token removal is critical when Trusted Publishing in place\, and when restricted API tokens remain the appropriate fallback. Whether maintaining one package or a hundred\, attendees will leave with everything needed to adopt credential-free publishing.

SUMMARY:Sim‑to‑Flight: Why Starting With Simulation Is the Fastest Path To Successful Flight Testing - Anthony Comer\, Oklahoma State University & Eric Hillsberg\, MathWorks
DESCRIPTION:Many flight‑control and autonomy programs still begin with hardware prototyping\, only to discover late in development that controller tuning\, transition behavior\, and system coupling are difficult to resolve without a reliable model. This session presents a practical simulation‑to‑flight workflow based on recent university flight‑test research\, demonstrating why starting with simulation is critical for reducing risk and accelerating development while helping teams avoid costly UAV crashes and hardware damage. Using a subscale eVTOL case study\, we show how aerodynamic modeling\, propulsion modeling\, and six‑degree‑of‑freedom dynamics are integrated into a digital twin that directly informs control‑law design\, hardware deployment\, and flight testing. The workflow culminates in direct PX4 implementation and a comparison of simulation predictions against real flight‑test data across hover\, transition\, and forward flight\, highlighting close agreement between model and reality. The talk emphasizes how a simulation‑first approach enables faster iteration\, safer testing\, and more predictable flight performance for the broader aerospace and UAS community.

SUMMARY:Platform Engineering: Herding the Electric Sheep - Brett Smith\, SAS
DESCRIPTION:A talk about platform engineering\, DevOps\, DevSecOps\, sprawl\, chaos\, compliance\, and security. Why engineer an Internal Developer Platform when I have DevOps? DevOps works fine when you are a 20 person start-up but it often doesn't scale to Enterprise level development efforts. When you have 3000 developers with different needs and you are responsible for EO compliance and security a modular self-service platform is a good choice to build. In this talk I cover the challenges we have faced in a 3000 developers enterprise and how we are working to address them. I also cover how we are working on automating\, integration\, and scaling the creation of our internal developer platform. Leveraging SBOMs\, SLSA\, and other tools to help build out a secure and compliant platform. Attendees will learn the benefits and challenges of Platform Engineering\n Attendee Takeaways\n Answers for the following questions:\n - Do we need a Platform Engineering Team?\n - Is an IDP the right solution for my situation?\n - What does a large scale IDP look like?\n - What does it take to support a large scale IDP?\n - What does security and compliance look like in an IDP?

SUMMARY:Unified Database Provisioning and Management on Kubernetes - Kyle Avants\, Percona
DESCRIPTION:Running production-grade databases on Kubernetes is becoming increasingly common\, but managing their lifecycle remains fragmented and complex for SRE and DevOps teams. Critical operations—scaling\, RBAC\, monitoring\, backup\, and restore—currently require navigating distinct\, database-specific APIs and tools. This complexity prevents teams from fully realizing the operational efficiency and uniformity that Kubernetes provides. \n \n This talk introduces OpenEverest\, the open-source platform designed to address this operational gap. OpenEverest provides a single\, unified UI and CLI to manage SRE functions for popular open-source databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL deployed on Kubernetes. It abstracts away database-specific differences\, offering standardized control for scaling\, integrated observability\, granular RBAC\, and reliable data protection.\n \n Join us to learn how OpenEverest simplifies the path to production readiness\, reduces operational toil\, and is building a pioneering open-source database management layer.

SUMMARY:From Physics To EBPF: Quantifying Flash Wear in Embedded Systems - Blake Hildebrand\, Nordic Semiconductor
DESCRIPTION:Flash memory is the literal foundation of an embedded system\, yet it is a finite resource. Every log entry\, database commit\, and firmware update inches the device closer to its end of life. For developers managing fleets of devices\, the question is not just if the flash will fail\, but when and which process is the culprit.\n \n This session dives deep into the lifecycle of a write\, from a high level look at the physics behind flash memory\, to how we can get an estimation of lifetime by tracking number of bytes written. We will start at the hardware level\, explaining the physical degradation of NAND cells and why eMMC controllers use wear leveling to manage this reality. Next\, we will bridge the gap between hardware specs and software reality using the Total Bytes Written (TBW) metric to estimate remaining life.\n \n Moving into the Linux kernel\, we will explore the built-in metrics found in procfs and sysfs to monitor disk I/O. Finally\, we will level up our observability by using eBPF to build a per process "write shaming" tool. This allows us to pinpoint exactly which application or daemon is burning through our hardware lifespan.

SUMMARY:SPDX and SBOM Work for the Linux Kernel - Tim Bird\, Sony Electronics
DESCRIPTION:Due to increased interest in fine-grained analysis of kernel composition and security (due to the CRA and other recent cybersecurity legislation)\, there have been a number of recent projects to 1) generate SBOMS for the linux kernel\, and 2) finish adding the remaining SPDX-License-Identifier lines to the kernel source tree. In this talk\, Tim will describe the current status of both of these efforts. Good progress has been made to add missing SPDX id lines\, but more work is needed to complete this project. Tim proposes a kselftest test to make sure there are no regressions in this area. The status of different kernel SBOM generation tools\, and upstream status\, will be described.\n \n This work should be of interest to companies interested in complying with cybersecurity requirements\, as well as those involved with license compliance efforts.

SUMMARY:From Tools To Platforms: MCP Patterns for Building Open Agent Ecosystems - Guangya Liu\, JPMC
DESCRIPTION:Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming a foundational interface for agent–tool interaction\, but most implementations today stop at simple\, single-server tool exposure. This session explores practical MCP design patterns that move beyond “one server\, one agent” toward scalable\, interoperable\, and ecosystem-friendly architectures.\n \n Based on real-world experimentation and open-source implementations\, we will walk through a set of MCP patterns\, including:\n 1. Single MCP Server patterns for tool and data exposure\n 2. Multi-Server composition and routing patterns\n 3. MCP Host / Gateway patterns for aggregation and policy control\n 4. Plugin-style extension patterns that allow third-party MCP servers to integrate without code changes\n 5. Read vs. write MCP patterns for observability\, automation\, and feedback loops\n \n The talk focuses on when and why to apply each pattern\, common pitfalls\, and architectural trade-offs. Attendees will leave with a mental model for designing MCP-based systems that scale from local experiments to ecosystem-level platforms\, enabling agents\, tools\, and platforms to evolve independently while remaining interoperable.

SUMMARY:Harnessing Git's Superpowers for Code Navigation and Debugging - Matheus Bernardino\, Qualcomm
DESCRIPTION:Beyond version control\, git is an incredibly powerful code exploration and debugging toolkit hiding in plain sight. In this talk\, we'll look under the hood at how git stores\, references\, and tracks data\, and then leverage those internals in practical\, real-world workflows to navigate and debug code.\n \n We'll walk through hands‑on examples using tools such as reflog\, blame\, log -S/-G\, pathspecs\, grep\, and bisect to answer questions developers face every day: Where did this behavior come from? Why is this code like this? and When did this bug appear?\n \n We'll also discuss best practices for maintaining clean\, informative git history\; because well-crafted commits make these tools dramatically more effective. Whether you're new to git's advanced commands or already comfortable with the plumbing layer\, you'll leave with actionable techniques to understand codebases faster and get more value from the tool you already use every day.

SUMMARY:Beyond SBOMs: Making License Data Actionable With ClearlyDefined - Jamie Magee\, Microsoft
DESCRIPTION:SBOMs tell you what's in your software. They don't tell you what you're allowed to do with it. License and attribution data is often missing or ambiguous -- a LICENSE file says MIT\, but source files have Apache-2.0 headers. SBOM or not\, you still don't know what to put in your notice file.\n \n ClearlyDefined\, an Open Source Initiative project\, fills in that missing data. It runs automated license scans\, then lets the community curate the results -- fixing misidentified licenses\, adding missing attributions\, and resolving conflicts between what a package claims and what its source files say.\n \n In this session\, I'll cover:\n \n - Why SBOMs fall short on licensing: what's typically missing and where the gaps are worst\n - How ClearlyDefined's harvest-curate pipeline works\, with a walkthrough of tracing a component from ambiguous scan to curated definition\n - How curations get contributed back upstream and why it matters for projects themselves\, not just consumers\n \n This talk is for anyone who's tried to build a license compliance workflow and found that the data isn't there yet.

SUMMARY:How Apache Superset Reinvented (and Re-engineered) Its World of Documentation - Evan Rusackas\, Preset\, Inc
DESCRIPTION:Learn how Apache Superset\, the top open-source project in Business Intelligence\, re-tooled their entire world of user/admin/developer documentation.\n \n Our new Extensions architecture gave us the chance to re-imagine how we WANT our docs to work. This isn't AI-generated docs... it's using AI to re-engineer how our docs build themselves.\n \n Learn how we managed to:\n • Federate scattered readmes/wikis/etc. under one roof\n • Independently version areas for different release cycles and intents\n • Automate screenshots and content to "keep up" with the codebase\n • Bring API docs\, React Story book\, and more into a centralized interactive portal\n • Leverage AI to maintain docs... for people AND for humans\n • Syndicate content from third party sources to be the end-all-be-all of Superset documentation\n • Adding AI tools (for free!) to provide chat-based support AND learn where our docs are falling short from the result\n • Use the codebase itself to build and maintain long-tail aspects of the docs\n \n We've learned a lot of hard lessons over the years\, and we're happy to share the process\, ideas\, and tools we've used to take things to the next level.

SUMMARY:The Non-Transferrable Playbook: Advocacy Models for Open Source - Danica Fine\, Snowflake
DESCRIPTION:Traditional developer relations relies on metrics that favor product adoption\, but successful open source developer relations demands a more nuanced approach. Your organizational role in and goals around open source projects dictate your strategy.We'll first dissect where and how open source developer advocacy diverges from proprietary developer relations strategies. We’ll then dive into four distinct engagement models\, metrics of successful advocacy in each\, and why success in one cannot necessarily be transferred to another:* The Adopter: Companies advocating for an open source technology used heavily internally.* The Champion: Companies serving as a major contributor to a mature open source project and its ecosystem.* The Business: Companies building a commercial offering around an existing open source technology.* The Founder: Companies open sourcing a new project and building its community from zero.Attendees will leave with a clear framework for diagnosing their organization’s role in the open source ecosystem and an understanding of the which metrics\, communication channels\, and contribution strategies will actually lead to sustainable community growth and impact.

SUMMARY:Sponsored Session: Driftless: An Open Source Agentic Reconciliation Framework Proven At Scale - Manfred Moser\, Chainguard
DESCRIPTION:Our new software factory framework adopts the reconciliation pattern and includes numerous bots that use traditional and agentic AI eval approaches. And since we are open sourcing the framework\, reliable use of your own agentic reconciliation automation at massive scale could be your future too.\n\nAt Chainguard we build and maintain over 2000 unique containers\, hundreds of thousands of package versions\, and hundreds of CVE patch backports. Our old event-driven architecture was complex and brittle. We drowned in event notifications\, brittle queues\, duplicate build failures\, work item conflicts and losses\, and other problems. We had to rethink our approach. \n\nIn this session Manfred\, open source veteran and author\, shares details about a new specification-driven system called “Driftless” that increases efficiency and reliability at scale. A work queue is fed by events and tackled by a large number of bots. They constantly reconcile the discovered state changes from code repositories\, security feeds\, and other sources to the desired state - up to date containers with zero known CVEs. Manfred talks about our hard-earned lessons and how you can make the bots work for you as well.\n\n\n**In order to facilitate networking and business relationships at the event\, you may choose to visit a third party’s booth or access sponsored content.

SUMMARY:Multi-robot Air-Ground Collaboration With PX4 and Opportunistic Communications - Fernando Cladera\, University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:A team of aerial and ground robots operating in a coordinated way is the key to large-scale operations in kilometer-scale environments. Nonetheless\, significant challenges\, such as orchestration\, intermittent communications\, and command-and-control of the team\, need to be solved.\n This talk will explore an application where a team of ground robots performs a search mission\, with an UAV acting as an eye in the sky and a data mule between the different ground robots. We will focus on the challenges for this task and how PX4 can be used in a heterogeneous team of aerial and ground robots. We will show examples of the system in large-scale urban and rural environments. Finally\, we will mention how large foundational models can enable more complex tasks for a robot team.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Where Deployment Authority Lives: A Cloud Native Design Pitfall in GitOps - Kim Schaefer\, Game Plan Tech
DESCRIPTION:Many cloud-native GitOps systems quietly treat a Git merge as both a change proposal and a deployment authorization. While this works in low-risk environments\, it collapses two very different responsibilities into a single decision. As systems grow more complex\, that shortcut creates ambiguity around authorization\, accountability\, and audit trails that many environments simply cannot tolerate.\n \n In this lightning talk\, we’ll reframe that assumption as a cloud-native architectural concern\, not just a tooling or security issue. Using GitOps as the example\, we’ll look at how proposal\, approval\, and enforcement often become unintentionally coupled\, and why that coupling makes it harder to reason about who is actually allowed to deploy.\n \n The talk will walk through the architectural implications of letting Git act as the final authority\, including where deployment decisions truly occur and how auditability and accountability can be lost when authority boundaries are unclear. We’ll then show how treating deployment authorization as a first-class architectural concept leads to clearer responsibility boundaries and more defensible cloud-native systems.

DESCRIPTION:Somewhere along the way\, the security ecosystem started asking you to add more steps\, update more plugins\, and generate more outputs without asking what that actually costs you. \n \n We asked for feedback during a lunch time session at cdCon last year. The feedback was blunt\, honest and exactly why we are back for this open-floor discussion hosted by the OpenSSF Developer Relations (DevRel) community. No slides\, no demos\, no pitches. This is a no-shame venting session with purpose\; bring your lunch\, your coffee\, and your honest feedback. We want to hear from the people implementing and operating these tools. Share where security tools are missing the mark and what's standing between "this is a good idea" and "this is actually working for us." \n \n This session leads directly into sessions with OpenSSF project maintainers\, so the people who can act on your feedback will already be in the room.

SUMMARY:Off-Grid Cloud Native: Building Trustworthy Sponsor-to-School Delivery With Kubernetes - Vuyo Mhlotshane\, Loakit
DESCRIPTION:In many rural communities\, the hardest part of funding education is not raising money. It is knowing with confidence that resources reached the right school and were used as intended.\n \n In this session\, I share a real-world\, open-source reference architecture for a pay-on-proof delivery pipeline where sponsor funds are released only after delivery can be verified. The system is designed for low-bandwidth and intermittent connectivity environments and uses Kubernetes\, event-driven workflows\, cryptographic proofs\, and auditable logs to close trust gaps between sponsors\, vendors\, and schools.\n \n We will walk through key design decisions\, how to think about offline-first systems\, and where trust commonly breaks in real deployments\, along with practical ways to address those gaps without heavy infrastructure.\n \n Attendees will learn:\n \n - How to model sponsor to vendor workflows using events and state\n - Patterns for building offline-friendly\, cloud native systems\n - Practical digital trust controls including identity\, auditability\, and proof of delivery\n \n This talk is for platform engineers\, SREs\, and open source practitioners building systems that must work in real-world conditions.

SUMMARY:From Malloc To Box: A Practical Guide To Rustification - Christina Quast\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:Moving from the manual memory management of C to the strict ownership model of Rust is more than a syntax swap\; it is a fundamental shift in engineering philosophy. This talk provides a pragmatic roadmap for developers navigating this transition. We move beyond the academic "why" of memory safety to dive &nbsp\;deep into the "how" of refactoring legacy systems. The session explores the practicalities of Rustification\, comparing the pitfalls of malloc and free\, such as use-after-free and double-free vulnerabilities\, with the compile-time guarantees provided by Rust’s Box\, Arc\, Borrow Checker and the Drop checker. Furthermore\, we tackle how to translate manual pointer arithmetic into safe abstractions\, practical strategies for using the Foreign Function Interface (FFI) to let Rust and C coexist during a gradual migration\, and a real-world walk through of the "Rustification" of a C kernel module.Target audience: Embedded Linux and kernel engineers with a foundational understanding of C driver concepts (like pointers and module structures). No prior Rust experience is required\; the talk focuses on the practical type-system and architectural strategies used to safely bridge the two languages.\n

SUMMARY:Practical Insights Into Interactive Debugging of Linux MMC Block Device Drivers - Akhilesh Patil\, Amazon
DESCRIPTION:Transitioning from bare-metal firmware development to Linux kernel development presents unique challenges\, particularly in debugging methodologies. Traditional approaches such as halting execution via JTAG alone may not straightforwardly work for embedded Linux.\n \n In this presentation we talk about challenges I faced and techniques I came across to debug Linux MMC block device drivers interactively using tools such as T32/GDB debuggers on embedded systems. This talk briefly covers MMC driver and block layer interactions and key golden breakpoints to use for MMC bus driver debugging. I will also discuss tools and techniques to take full control of eMMC block drivers\, generating block IO requests as needed\, setting up triggers and probing signals on an oscilloscope for detailed waveform level debugging. \n \n key topics: Embedded Linux setup for interactive debug (single CPU\, KASLR\, WDT\, ramfs\, RCU\, softlocks)\, strategic SDHCI breakpoints\, GPIO-triggered oscilloscope capture signals\, handling filesystem mounts\; leveraging mmc_test module for generating controlled transactions for debug.

SUMMARY:Automating Linux Kernel Crash Analysis With LLMs - Chris Arges\, Cloudflare
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores using Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate Linux kernel crashdump analysis at scale. At Cloudflare\, we operate Linux across hundreds of thousands of servers. At this scale\, kernel crashes are inevitable. \n Typical crash analysis requires deep kernel expertise and significant time investment\, slowing down time to resolution.\n I'll share our journey building an LLM-powered agent that performs initial crash analysis autonomously. First\, I'll cover our infrastructure for collecting and managing crashdumps across our fleet. Then I'll explain crashdump analysis fundamentals: using the crash utility\, interpreting stack traces\, identifying common failure patterns\, and correlating crashes with kernel subsystems.\n This talk focuses on teaching an LLM agent to replicate expert analysis workflows. I'll show how we structured prompts and created skills. I'll show examples of the agent analyzing real crashes.

SUMMARY:Headroom: A Context Optimization Layer for LLM Applications - Tejas Chopra\, Netflix\, Inc.
DESCRIPTION:LLM tokens are expensive. With context windows expanding to 200K+ tokens\, a single API call can cost several dollars & in production systems handling thousands of requests\, these costs compound quickly.\n Most optimization efforts focus on model selection or prompt engineering\, but the context itself often contains massive redundancy.\n \n Headroom is an open-source Python library (https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom) that sits between your application and your LLM provider\, transparently optimizing context before it reaches the model.\n The core insight is simple: LLM contexts—especially in agentic workflows—are filled with repetitive tool outputs\, verbose JSON arrays\, and boilerplate that consumes tokens without adding proportional value\n \n Headroom introduces novel concepts such as reversible compression\, cache aligners\, compression routers\, and even persistent memory\n \n Real-world results:\n - 50-90% token reduction on typical agentic workloads\n - Drop-in integrations for LangChain\, OpenAI\, Anthropic\, and any OpenAI-compatible provider\n - Zero code changes required when using the proxy server

SUMMARY:Uncouth Users\, Dopey Developers and Crazy Cryptographers OR Why It's Never the Architect's Fault - Mike Bursell\, Confidential Computing Consortium & Christopher Robinson\, OpenSSF
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, two jaded cybersecurity architects will present a taxonomy of personae who passively or actively get in the way of good security\, explain why it's all definitely your fault and express frustration that the Golden Age of Cybersecurity[tm] is always eluding their grasp. With examples and humour/humor (if they can agree on a spelling)\, your hosts will encourage you to do better next time and point out all the obvious (to them) things you've been doing wrong all these years. And why open source would fix all of them. Almost.

SUMMARY:Architecting for Onboarding: Building a "Docs-as-Code" Pipeline for Open Source Sustainability - Sai Sravan Cherukuri\, Independent Contributor
DESCRIPTION:In open source\, a project's survival depends on its contributor funnel. If developers can't build\, test\, or grasp your project in the first ten minutes\, they'll leave. Documentation is the primary interface for that experience\, but is often the most neglected part of the repository.\n This session goes past the basic README to show how maintainers can set up a clear Documentation Development Life Cycle. We will explore the 'Docs-as-Code' idea\, treating documentation like code by keeping it in Git\, peer-reviewing it\, and checking it with CI/CD pipelines.\n Key takeaways include:\n The Pipeline: Setting up automated linters (Vale\, Markdownlint) to enforce style and technical accuracy.\n The Process: Make sure every new feature includes updated documentation to prevent it from becoming outdated.\n The Community: Learn ways to help non-coders contribute\, and manage docs with people all over the world.\n Join this session to learn actionable steps you can implement right away to make your open-source project more welcoming\, robust\, and future-proof. Start applying these strategies today and transform your documentation process.

SUMMARY:Building Sustainable Open Source: The Harper Story - Ethan Arrowood\, Harper
DESCRIPTION:Open sourcing a core product is easy to celebrate\, but hard to initiate and sustain. This is a practical story about economic viability and how Harper open sourced our core product while protecting business health\, funding continued engineering\, and creating the conditions for durable community growth.\n Geared towards founders\, CTOs\, investors\, and developer relations and engineering managers\, I share Harper’s intimate story of transforming our nearly decade-old\, closed source code base into an actively growing open source community. I share what we learned from customer growth patterns\, where adoption stalled\, and how we recognized the potential of open source. From there\, I dive deep into our execution strategy\; separating the open source core from the commercial operations customers valued.\n You’ll learn how licensing choices and clear boundaries between shapes trust\, and how we approached the organizational and technical realities of moving a long-lived product into the open. If you're building or funding open source and need a sustainable model supporting profitability and momentum\, this session offers a concrete path grounded in lived experiences.

SUMMARY:Open Source Is Not the Same Anymore - Faeka Ansari\, Akuity Inc. & Nasi Chaudhari\, Yugabyte
DESCRIPTION:Open source used to mean something simple: the code is open\, the community builds it\, and everyone benefits. That world is gone. Today\, billion-dollar companies release model weights and call it "open source"\n \n Projects launch with permissive licenses but lock their APIs behind paywalls. Foundations host projects where one vendor controls 95% of the commits. And a new generation of developers is entering open source through AI-generated pull requests they barely understand.\n \n I've spent 7 consecutive Kubernetes release cycles on the release team\, helped build and maintain Kargo - a OSS project for GitOps continuous delivery and worked as a CNCF Ambassador helping new contributors navigate this ecosystem\n \n I've watched the definition of "open source" stretch\, bend & sometimes break in real time.\n \n This talk is about the real problems developers face today when they try to contribute to\, depend on\, or build careers around open source projects that don't play by the old rules. I'll share what I've learned about spotting "open-washing" evaluating project health beyond the GitHub star count\, and building genuine community in an era where the incentives have fundamentally shifted.

SUMMARY:Package Managers Metadata and Cross Ecosystem Projects in the Era of SBOMs - Damián Vicino\, Datadog
DESCRIPTION:Package managers do more than resolve dependencies—they shape how software and its metadata are distributed across the ecosystem. While they simplify development\, they also introduce large\, fast-moving transitive dependency trees that are rarely inspected in depth.\n Despite evolving independently\, most package managers share a common model: distributing artifacts alongside metadata. Yet metadata formats\, completeness\, and quality vary widely across ecosystems\, creating challenges for security analysis\, compliance\, and supply chain risk management—especially in today’s hybrid\, multi-language environments.\n This talk examines how package metadata is increasingly used beyond builds\, powering vulnerability management\, license compliance\, and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation through standards such as SPDX and CycloneDX.\n Based on the results from the first year of work from the CHAOSS Package Metadata Working Group—an analysis of more than 40 package managers—we’ll share emerging best practices\, gaps we’ve identified\, and recommendations for both new and existing ecosystems to improve metadata quality\, interoperability\, and transparency.

SUMMARY:Unified Autonomy Stack - Nikhil Khedekar & Kostas Alexis\, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
DESCRIPTION:This session introduces the open-source Unified Autonomy Stack (https://github.com/ntnu-arl/unified_autonomy_stack)\, a containerized\, system-level solution enabling robust autonomy across diverse aerial and ground robot morphologies. The architecture centers on three modules -multi-modal perception\, multi-stage planning\, and multi-layered safety mechanisms- that together deliver end-to-end mission autonomy. Resulting behaviors include safe navigation into unknown regions\, exploration of complex environments\, and efficient inspection planning. The stack has been validated on multiple multirotor platforms and legged robots operating in GNSS-denied and perceptually degraded environments\, demonstrating resilient performance in demanding conditions. To facilitate ease of adoption and extension\, we additionally release a reference hardware design that integrates a full multi-modal sensing suite\, time-synchronization electronics\, and high-performance compute capable of running the entire ROS-based stack while leaving headroom for further development. Strategically\, we aim to expand the Unified Autonomy Stack to cover most robot configurations across air\, land\, and sea.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Offensive and Defensive Strategies for Addressing Open-Source Vulnerabilities - Tracy Ragan\, DeployHub\, Inc.
DESCRIPTION:Open-source software is foundational to modern application development\, but it has also become one of the fastest-moving and hardest attack surfaces to defend. For years\, organizations have relied on “shift-left” security to catch vulnerabilities early in the lifecycle. While necessary\, this approach alone is no longer sufficient. New vulnerabilities are disclosed daily\, often long after software is deployed\, leaving IT teams struggling to understand what is truly at risk in production and how quickly they must respond.\n \n In this session\, Tracy reframes software supply chain security around the realities of live systems. She explains why teams must move beyond offensive\, prevention-only strategies and refocus on rapid detection\, prioritization\, and response for newly reported vulnerabilities attacking live systems. Tracy also addresses how the pursuit of a zero-vulnerability posture has driven alert fatigue and burnout among developers\, security teams\, and CIOs.\n \n Attendees will learn how to manage vulnerability alert noise\, shorten response times\, and focus remediation\, protecting open-source-driven systems without slowing delivery or exhausting the teams responsible for them.\n

SUMMARY:GitOps Gone Wild: Hardening Delivery Pipelines for the AI Era - Julien Semaan\, Kubex & Corey McGalliard\, Akamai
DESCRIPTION:GitOps promises safety and automation\, but it will faithfully ship your mistakes at scale. With AI-assisted coding and emerging autonomous agents in the loop\, those mistakes now move faster than humans can fully reason about their impact.\n \n This talk dissects real-world GitOps failures where tiny configuration changes triggered outages\, overly trusted pipelines amplified risk\, and AI-generated patches were merged without understanding their consequences. None of these incidents were tooling failures. They were safety failures.\n \n We’ll show how teams put guardrails back in place by enforcing policy before merge\, using progressive rollouts to contain blast radius\, applying Crossplane constraints to keep infrastructure changes reversible\, and adding automated verification gates that catch problems before they reach production.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Reliability at the Edge: Fail-Safe Multi Cluster Orchestration With Kubestellar - Munachimso (Muna) Nwaiwu\, Cornell University
DESCRIPTION:Managing a single Kubernetes cluster is a solved problem. However\, extending Kubernetes to the edge introduces a fundamental systems crisis. In remote environments\, network partitions are guaranteed. When orchestrators demand real-time synchronization\, routine network drops lead to configuration drift and control-plane breakdown.\n \n This session analyzes how KubeStellar (a CNCF Sandbox project) attempts to solve this reliability crisis. Evaluated from a systems and network perspective\, we dissect how KubeStellar abandons synchronous replication for an asynchronous\, hub-and-spoke model. By decoupling its Workload Description Space (WDS) from the transport layer\, it leverages eventual consistency to treat disconnected edge nodes as expected\, not a fatal error.\n \n To ground this theory in reality\, we explore our ongoing research at Cornell University’s Smart Farms. In remote agriculture\, long-term partitions are daily realities. We will outline our progress using KubeStellar to manage geographically dispersed clusters\, presenting an architectural roadmap for how eventual consistency can ensure local workloads survive extended disconnects and deterministically reconcile upon reconnection.

SUMMARY:Secure Boot for Embedded Linux: Explained in Simple Words - Roy Jamil\, Ac6
DESCRIPTION:Secure Boot is often described using cryptography-heavy terminology\, vendor-specific flows\, and complex diagrams that make it intimidating for embedded developers.\n This talk explains Secure Boot for embedded Linux systems from first principles\, using simple language and clear mental models.\n \n We start by answering why Secure Boot exists\, then walk step by step through the boot process. Concepts like Root of Trust and signature verification are explained without assuming prior security or cryptography background.\n \n The session focuses on what actually happens at boot time\, not on vendor marketing or abstract theory. Real-world examples from common embedded Linux systems are used to illustrate how Secure Boot is implemented and where it can fail if misunderstood.\n \n By the end of the talk\, attendees will be able to explain Secure Boot in their own words\, understand its guarantees and limitations\, and reason about Secure Boot designs in real embedded products.

SUMMARY:Fork\, Explore\, Commit: Linux Primitives for AI Agents Exploration - Cong Wang\, Multikernel Technologies & Yusheng Zheng\, eunomia-bpf
DESCRIPTION:AI agents don’t execute a single path\, they explore many. They try different code changes\, commands\, or configurations in parallel\, then keep the one that works. Today\, running this safely on Linux requires fragile combinations of temp directories\, git tricks\, containers\, or VM snapshots.\n \n This talk introduces branch contexts\, a new Linux execution model built for AI agents. A branch context gives each exploration path an isolated\, copy-on-write filesystem and coordinated process group\, with a simple lifecycle: fork\, explore\, commit or abort. The first successful branch commits atomically\; all others are automatically invalidated.\n \n We present two Linux implementations: BranchFS\, a FUSE-based branching filesystem with O(1) branch creation and atomic commit without root privileges\, and branch()\, a proposed Linux syscall that composes filesystem branching\, namespaces\, and process lifecycle management into a single atomic operation.\n \n We’ll explain why existing Linux mechanisms fall short for agent workloads and how fork/explore/commit semantics fit naturally into the future of Linux process and filesystem design.

SUMMARY:Identity Management for AI Agents - Abdel Fane\, OpenA2A
DESCRIPTION:Every enterprise has identity management for humans—SSO\, MFA\, RBAC\, audit logs. But AI agents? They run with API keys\, no verified identity\, no behavioral tracking\, no audit trail. This talk bridges the gap between traditional IAM and the emerging world of autonomous AI agents: What we learned from human IAM: - Why identity must be cryptographic\, not just credentials - How least-privilege access control prevents lateral movement - Why audit trails matter for compliance and incident response Applying it to AI agents: - Agent identity: Ed25519 keypairs vs API keys - Capability-based access: what tools can this agent call? - Behavioral trust scoring: detecting compromised agents - MCP server attestation: verifying the tools agents connect to We'll examine real attack scenarios—agent impersonation\, tool injection\, privilege escalation—and show how identity-first security prevents them. Live demo using AIM (Agent Identity Management)\, an Apache-2.0 open-source platform. All patterns are framework-agnostic and applicable to LangChain\, CrewAI\, AutoGen\, or raw MCP implementations. Attendees leave with actionable security patterns for their AI agent deployments.

SUMMARY:The Code Is the Contract: How Linux's Architecture Sheds Light on GPL Compliance - Sabir Ibrahim\, Dev Legal
DESCRIPTION:This session demystifies the GPL by exploring the "architecture of intent"—the deliberate design choices made by kernel maintainers that define the legal boundaries between open source code licensed under the GPL and closed source code that may interface with the Linux kernel while maintaining its own licensing. As a lawyer with a deep interest in open source software and expertise in OSS licensing and compliance\, I will bridge the gap between code and copyright. My goal is to provide developers with a practical framework for navigating GPL compliance as it pertains to Linux. \n \n This talk is designed specifically for a technical audience. It is not a dry legal lecture. Instead\, it is a practical\, developer-focused guide that uses code\, architecture\, and real-world examples to illuminate complex legal concepts. We will walk through three common scenarios where proprietary software interfaces with the Linux kernel\, analyzing each from both a technical and legal perspective.\n \n Attendees will leave with the ability to identify high-risk integration patterns and make more informed development decisions.

SUMMARY:Hidden in Plain Sight: Discovering the Academic Open Source Landscape - Juanita Gomez\, University of California\, Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:Academic Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) are emerging across universities to support open source\, but how can they identify contributors and know what support is needed?\n \n The University of California launched its OSPO network in 2024\, connecting six campuses (UC Santa Cruz\, Berkeley\, Davis\, Los Angeles\, Santa Barbara\, and San Diego) to promote open source research\, sustainability\, and best practices. A major challenge is not only finding projects but understanding how they operate and engage contributors.\n \n To address this\, the UC OSPO Network is developing the Open Source Repository Browser (ORB)\, an interactive platform that maps activity\, visualizes community health signals\, tracks contributor patterns\, and surfaces repository metadata. ORB enables OSPOs to guide targeted support\, inform policy\, and strengthen open source contributions across campuses.\n \n The browser now visualizes data from 30+ universities\, providing a multi institution view of project health\, contributor patterns\, and adoption of community standards. This talk will cover ORB’s design and implementation and share insights from multiple universities to inform OSPO strategies and engagement.

SUMMARY:It's Not Rocket Science\, It's a Flywheel: Engineering OS Communities With DevEx - Jeremy Meiss\, WWT
DESCRIPTION:It's no secret that building and sustaining thriving open source communities requires moving beyond sporadic contributions and fostering an ecosystem of engaged members. That process is not simple\, and requires a lot of time and effort\, which is not often something a maintainer has\, which more often than not leads to maintainer burnout or project stagnation. \n \n In this talk\, Jeremy will connect the principal of a "flywheel" that we see in everyday life with the principles of Developer Experience\, and discuss what a "DevEx Flywheel" should look like. He will explore how things like feedback loops\, "time to joy"\, onboarding\, and documentation all contribute to an experience that can enhance contributions\, which in turn improves project health\, value\, and more.\n \n This session will explore what the DevEx Flywheel looks like\, and provide actionable strategies for:\n - Creating seamless onboarding experiences and amazing documentation\n - Implementing tooling and automating workflows by reducing friction\n - Fostering welcoming communication and effective feedback loops\n \n Stop hoping for community growth\; start engineering it through Developer Experience.

SUMMARY:What Are You Willing To Digest? Multi Arch Container Image Security and Best Practice - Evans Yeboah Jr.\, VideoAmp
DESCRIPTION:Deploying apps in containers is easier than ever\, but securing the image these containers come from is a dynamic security problem that on its surface has no single best answer. So when it comes to what risk you may face and what risk you are willing to accept\, one of the questions that may come up is if snowflake-y multi architecture risks are something you are willing to digest? \n \n With multi arch images\, based on the system it is deployed to\, its vulnerabilities profile may look different than any of the other supported systems. So in this talk I will be demonstrating a security tool agnostic way to handle identifying and remediating these threats. I will go through how anyone (at any level of security experience) can automate container security across pipelines without slowing down development. Attendees will walk away with a new understanding of the importance of minimizing exposure to these risks\, as well as a clearer understanding of the layered setup of multi arch container images (index manifest\, platform manifest\, and image manifest). And without a doubt\, walk away with container image security and not unmanaged risk\, something they are willing to digest.

SUMMARY:Talking To Drones: Natural Language Control of PX4 Using a Phone\, MCP\, and ChatGPT Realtime API - Godfrey Nolan\, RIIS LLC
DESCRIPTION:PX4-based drones are powerful\, but interacting with them typically requires specialized ground control software and trained operators. This talk presents a new interaction model: controlling and querying a PX4 drone using natural language from a standard mobile phone.\n \n The system combines a Model Context Protocol (MCP)–style interface (inspired by ROS 2 MCP implementations) to expose PX4 capabilities as structured\, machine-readable commands\, with OpenAI’s real-time ChatGPT API to interpret user intent. A phone call or voice interaction—handled via Twilio—becomes the primary user interface\, allowing operators to issue commands such as “take off to 10 meters\,” “orbit that location\,” or “what’s your battery state?” and receive immediate spoken feedback.\n \n The talk will cover:\n \n * How PX4 commands\, telemetry\, and state are exposed through an MCP-like abstraction\n * Real-time bidirectional communication between phone\, AI model\, and drone using Twilio and RealTime API\n * Safety considerations\, command validation\, and constraints when using AI-mediated control\n * Practical use cases\, fly missions\, object detection all using hands free control\n * Lessons learned\, what worked and didn't work

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Built Clean. Receipts Attached - Adolfo García Veytia\, Carabiner Systems & Alex Zenla\, Edera
DESCRIPTION:Security frameworks such as SLSA require software builds to run in isolated environments to guarantee they are “free of unintended external influence”. In practice\, this means full control of the runtime environment and every dependency entering a build\, ensuring no malware slips into released software\n But how can you verify isolation after the fact? How do you know a container image or binary was compiled in a truly hermetic environment\, free from tampering processes or hidden tooling? Can you confidently prove your release used only the dependencies declared in your SBOM?\n In this talk\, Marina and Puerco will demonstrate practical techniques to verify build isolation and runtime characteristics. Want cryptographic proof of hermetic builds? We’ll show it. Need confidence in software components and complete SBOM coverage? Covered. Trace provenance to the exact VM that executed the build? Absolutely.\n Using Cocoon\, an open source build packager running inside Edera Protect isolated zones\, we will verify attested machine identity via SPIFFE SVIDs\, environment features\, and SBOM completeness\, all enforced with reusable policy code powered by technologies like in-toto\, SLSA and Sigstore.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Taking a U-Turn for Caches: Moving Back From Remote To Local - Aditya Mohan\, Amazon
DESCRIPTION:With the growth of CPU compute and larger memory heaps\, many cloud-native workloads that traditionally relied on remote caches like Redis and Memcached can now benefit from in-process caching using open source libraries.\n \n In this session\, we focus on Java-based cloud-native services and show how local caches\, such as Caffeine\, can colocate cache with application logic\, reducing network overhead\, simplifying consistency management\, and improving latency. Drawing on large-scale production experience\, we’ll explore cache invalidation\, freshness guarantees\, near-cache patterns\, and scalability trade-offs\, along with practical lessons for handling staleness\, TTLs\, and other caching challenges while reducing operational complexity and cost.\n \n Finally\, we’ll discuss how emerging open source tools like Databricks’ Dicer apply these caching and orchestration principles at scale for real-time services\, representing the next frontier. Attendees will learn methods to design low-latency\, high-throughput\, maintainable\, and cost-efficient caching solutions for cloud-native architectures using open source tools.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Where Does Your Policy Actually Live? - Dadisi Sanyika\, Sol Duara\, Inc.
DESCRIPTION:Your organization has a policy requiring all artifacts to pass security scanning before deployment. Simple enough. But you use three CI systems\, so Team A implements it in Jenkins with a Groovy shared library\, Team B uses a GitHub Actions reusable workflow\, and Team C builds it into GitLab CI includes.\n \n Same intent. Three implementations. Three syntaxes. Three maintenance burdens.\n \n Now an auditor asks: "Prove these are equivalent."\n \n This lightning talk examines what happens when policy lives inside tools versus above them. We'll look at an architectural pattern in which tools emit events upward and receive decisions downward via CDEvents\, while policy logic lives in a single\, auditable location. The tools keep doing tool things. Nothing changes\, but everything works.\n \n You'll leave with one question worth asking in your next architecture review: "Where does our policy actually live?" The answer has implications for maintenance burden\, audit readiness\, and the extent to which consistent governance can scale.

SUMMARY:eBPF and Open Source Code Ensure the Security of Your Clusters CI/CD Pipeline. - Hudson Coutinho\, Linker Bank
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I'll show how what happens DURING the build and deployment can be fatal.\n Using eBPF\, we created an Open Source app that monitors the kernel in real time to detect access to secrets\, suspicious commands\, and data exfiltration at the exact moment they occur.\n In my consulting work\, I've seen real-world scenarios where compromised runners handed over database secrets and cloud keys without anyone noticing.\n The pipeline is a huge blind spot in current security.

SUMMARY:Hardening QEMU With Self-Correcting Fuzzing Pipelines - Navid Emamdoost\, Google
DESCRIPTION:This session explores a dual-phase strategy for hardening the QEMU Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) through advanced fuzzing and AI-driven automation. We begin by detailing a manual hardening effort that expanded QEMU’s testing surface from 18 to 60 active targets\, increasing device line coverage by more than 30%. While effective\, manual target creation is a resource-intensive process that struggles to scale across the hundreds of virtualized devices supported by QEMU.\n \n To address these scaling challenges\, we introduce an AI-driven agentic pipeline designed to automate the generation and validation of fuzzing targets. This system leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze device source code and memory regions\, generating candidate C++ targets for the QEMU fuzzing engine.\n \n We will discuss the implementation of a self-correcting feedback loop where the agent captures compilation and runtime errors to iteratively refine its output until a stable target is produced. Attendees will see how this approach aims to reach &gt\;80% device line coverage by automating the remaining hardware targets that currently lack dedicated fuzzing.

SUMMARY:Optimize Linux Kernel To Fit Microcontrollers With 1 MB RAM - Jim Huang & Chisheng Chen\, National Cheng Kung University
DESCRIPTION:Running the Linux kernel on microcontrollers with severely constrained RAM has long been viewed as impractical. Conventional embedded Linux builds still assume tens of megabytes of memory\, excluding a wide class of resource-limited hardware such as Arm Cortex-M and certain Cortex-R devices. This talk presents recent work on adapting and optimizing the Linux kernel to operate within a 1 MB RAM budget.\n \n We examine the challenges of reducing Linux’s memory footprint for microcontroller-class systems and the techniques that enable Linux to run in sub-megabyte environments. Topics include:\n * Memory profiling of core kernel subsystems\n * Removing or deferring optional features to reduce RAM usage\n * Streamlining kernel image layout and data structures\n * Adjusting build configurations and boot flow for extreme constraints\n * Runtime trade-offs between functionality and footprint\n \n The session demonstrates how mainline Linux can be reshaped to fit far smaller footprints than traditionally assumed. This approach expands the reach of embedded Linux and provides practical strategies for optimizing memory usage on highly constrained platforms.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Cost of Sleep: How Scheduler Wakeup Latency Impacts High-Throughput AI Inference - Shubhang Kaushik\, Ampere Computing
DESCRIPTION:As a Linux Kernel Developer at Ampere Computing\, I focus on optimizing the scheduler for high-density ARM64 systems. My work culminates in a patch merged for the Linux 7.0 release that refines avg_idle tracking a critical metric the scheduler uses to decide how long to search for an idle CPU before giving up. In my session "The Hidden Cost of Sleep"\, I will break down the try_to_wake_up() path to show how even minor inaccuracies in idle-time accounting lead to poor CPU selection and increased cache misses. I’ll explain how my Linux 7.0 optimizations [commit\n 36ae1c45b2cede] specifically reduce the 'search cost' during wakeups\, directly improving the responsiveness of AI inference workloads. By sharing raw performance data and trace analysis\, I’ll demonstrate why getting the wakeup path right is the only way to achieve the deterministic performance needed for autonomous AI agents and scalable trust infrastructure.

SUMMARY:A Fun Overview of the Argo Ecosystem - Aaron Teague\, UVNV
DESCRIPTION:Many hear the word "Argo" and immediately think "GitOps" with the ability to sync what's in a git repo with what's in a live Kubernetes environment. However\, "Argo CD" is just one of several tools within the Argo ecosystem.These other tools include:- Rollouts - Move web traffic from an old to a new version of adeployment- Workflows - Perform work in multiple steps\, or as a DAG- Events - Perform a variety of triggers based on a variety of potential eventsThese tools have a lot of use and can automate otherwise mundane tasks and lessen the risks associated with change. Each will get given an overview of how they work and how they can be useful in isolation. Then we will combine them to solve different tasks. Examples will range from practical to silly\, keeping healthy parts "educational" and "entertaining".

SUMMARY:BOF: Funding Open Source Sustainably - Georg Link\, CHAOSS & Terence McCutcheon\, Intersect MBO
DESCRIPTION:This birds of a feather (BOF) session is for two audiences to get together. OSS funders & members of OSS projects who are seeking funding. The goal of the BOF is to share experiences from both perspectives. To be clear\, this is not a match-making session or a funding giveaway\, but an exchange of experiences. The BOF facilitators will seed the discussion with insights from interviews of both audiences\, also our personal experiences from implementing the funding programs of the “Paid Open Source Model” (POSM).\n \n We’ll discuss the changing landscape of open source funding. Long-time funding programs\, like the Mozilla Open Source Support (MOSS) awards closed doors. However\, new funding programs are designed to align with open source values are offering new opportunities\, whether it is funding from blockchain treasuries like POSM or government programs like the German Sovereign Tech Fund.\n \n The outcome of the BOF is two fold. One\, maintainers and OSS project members who are seeking funding\, can better understand how to access funding. Two\, OSS funders can hear directly from projects to better understand what process improvements could help with funding more effectively and efficiently.

SUMMARY:NixOS for Deterministic Distributed-System Benchmarking - B. Cameron Gain\, ReveCom
DESCRIPTION:Reproducibility remains one of the largest challenges in benchmarking distributed systems\, especially when hardware\, kernel-level parameters and dependency versions vary between tests. This talk presents a NixOS-based approach for constructing deterministic\, portable benchmark environments for large-scale data infrastructure. We show how Nix’s declarative system configuration\, content-addressed builds and reproducible packaging model allow engineers to isolate performance variables. We look at how Nix offers a much more reproducible environment when producing different applications for testing. While Docker containers isolate user-space dependencies\, they remain tied to the host kernel's version and configuration. Using Apache Cassandra as the primary case study\, the talk demonstrates how NixOS can define and reproduce complete cluster environments. Attendees will learn practical patterns for packaging workloads\, pinning dependencies\, and generating ephemeral benchmark nodes. The session concludes with a live demo of how we can initiate benchmark tests on Nix and then kill the entire infrastructure in just a few seconds.

SUMMARY:Enhancing PX4's EKF2 Replay Module for Deterministic Integration Testing - Brian Fairservice & Kerry Snyder\, KEF Robotics
DESCRIPTION:PX4's EKF2 replay module allows developers to tune estimator performance by re-running the EKF on prerecorded logs. This is useful for EKF2 development or for testing the impact of different parameters on performance. KEF robotics has patched the replay module so that replay progress can be controlled by an external program\, enabling deterministic *integration* testing. We are using this patched replay module to test the integration of PX4 with an external vision navigation system.\n \n We will cover:\n - Using the replay module to assess performance of different EKF2 parameters.\n - Development and testing considerations for a visual navigation system that integrates with PX4.\n - Modifying the replay module so that it can be deterministically 'stepped' in sync with an external program\n - Results from integration testing with the modified replay module \n \n The audience will get a better understanding of the replay system\, technical details on modifying the replay system for integration testing\, and the benefits of integration testing with regard to visual navigation development with PX4. We will also share the patch we made to the replay system.

SUMMARY:Keynote: How Maintainers Can Build Their Way Through the AI Flood - Madelyn Olson\, Valkey Project Maintainer and Principal Engineer\, AWS & Jacob Murphy\, Valkey Project Maintainer and Software Engineer\, Google
DESCRIPTION:As the cost of generating code continues to decline\, open source projects face a transformative shift in the nature of maintainership. The sheer volume of AI contributions – often characterized as "slop" – can easily overwhelm human reviewers. This keynote addresses the current state of development workflows by moving past AI hype toward a pragmatic\, optimistic path for project sustainability. Developers need AI implementations that raise engineering standards now while projects anticipate advanced\, industry-wide AI agents.&nbsp\;\n\nAI enables maintainers to become more dogmatic about contribution quality. While asking a contributor for a complete refactor or exhaustive testing might have historically been viewed as an unreasonable barrier to entry\, it is now a baseline expectation that AI can assist a contributor in meeting within minutes. High-validation requirements are framed not as hurdles\, but as necessary filters to maintain a neat\, efficient\, and microsecond-optimized keyspace.\n\nDrawing from two real-world implementations within the Valkey project for both security and backporting\, this keynote will outline how AI agents are being used to combat maintainer burnout by automating tedious\, time-intensive tasks now. The keynote will demo use cases for these intelligent bots that handle both 1) “provenance guard” security functions and 2) complex backporting and Continuous Integration (CI) testing across the project. These AI tools save engineers significant hours of manual labor each week while keeping humans in the loop for final sign-offs.\n\nAn important point that will be emphasized in the keynote: while AI excels at offloading labor\, it cannot produce clarity or define a project's vision. The community remains the sole entity responsible for the strategic direction and soul of a project. Strategic thinking must not be externalized to models\; instead\, human-led governance must remain the primary source of long-term project trajectory.\n\nKey Takeaways:\nRaising the Bar: The lower cost of code necessitates higher standards for tests and validation to prevent the influx of low-quality submissions.Agents as Guards and Guardrails: AI tools serve as the first line of defense in PR reviews\, automating the routine labor of version maintenance and standard enforcement.Intentional Governance: AI acts as a tool for execution\, but clarity and project vision must remain entirely human-led and community-driven.

SUMMARY:Keynote: Free to Use\, Not Free to Run: Reinventing Package Registries - Robin Bender Ginn\, Executive Director\, OpenJS Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The package registries that distribute software across every major open source language ecosystem\, from Python and Rust to JavaScript\, Java\, PHP\, and beyond\, will collectively serve over 10 trillion downloads in 2026\, all of them free. But the infrastructure behind those downloads has never been free\, and the small number of donors and volunteers quietly absorbing those costs can no longer keep pace with AI-driven demand and machine-scale supply chain attacks. In response\, registry leaders have formally convened under the Linux Foundation to reinvent the model through the newly formed Sustaining Package Registries Working Group. This keynote explains what's breaking\, what's changing\, and what it means for every organization that builds on open source. &nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Beyond Containers. Why MicroVMs Are Essential for Multi-Tenant Workloads - Alex Zenla\, Edera
DESCRIPTION:Containers are the de facto deployment model for our applications today\, but is your Container Runtime appropriate for multi-tenant workloads?\n \n If you don't know which Container Runtime you're using today\, then it's likely that you're using a shared kernel\, so your multi-tenant workloads aren't as isolated as you might think they are.\n \n In this talk\, we'll demonstrate how MicroVMs can provide a Hardened Container Runtime. We'll build an understanding of why namespaces and cgroups are limited in the isolation they provide\, how the MicroVM architecture can provide an isolated kernel\, and the open-source tools available today to implement this.\n \n To demonstrate this\, we'll use a Multi-Tenant Kubernetes Cluster to show an attack that can break container isolation\, and how MicroVMs can mitigate it.

SUMMARY:How AGL SoDeV Accelerates the Future of Mobility Through Open-Source Collaboration - Yuichi Kusakabe\, Honda Motor Co.\, Ltd.
DESCRIPTION:Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) is advancing Software Defined Vehicle (SoDeV) as a foundation for open\, scalable\, and collaborative automotive innovation. As vehicles become increasingly software-centric\, accelerating collaboration between AGL SoDeV initiatives and the broader open-source automotive community is critical to shaping the future of mobility.\n This session highlights how AGL SoDeV acts as a collaboration hub that connects industry-driven development with open-source community contributions. Building on a previously presented demo\, we introduce updated workflows and tooling that reduce collaboration friction\, improve governance transparency\, and enable faster feedback loops between SoDeV activities and OSS communities.\n Through an updated live demonstration\, we show how governance automation and clear contribution flows can function as enablers rather than barriers. The talk focuses on practical lessons learned from evolving AGL SoDeV collaboration models\, explaining what has changed\, why it matters\, and how these improvements help communities and organizations innovate together more effectively.

SUMMARY:Defending the Branch: PAC\, BTI & GCS on Linux - Bill Roberts\, Arm Ltd
DESCRIPTION:As computing systems evolve\, memory-safety exploits such as return-oriented programming (ROP) and jump-oriented programming (JOP) remain a serious threat. These attacks manipulate control flow within valid address space\, reusing existing code “gadgets” to achieve the attackers desired results. Arm AArch64 provides architectural defenses against these attacks through Pointer Authentication Codes (PAC)\, Guarded Control Stack (GCS)\, and Branch Target Identification (BTI).\n \n This talk explains how these technologies work and\, more importantly\, what Linux developers\, distributions\, packagers\, and toolchains must do to deploy them correctly. We cover the AArch64 Linux ABI implications\, including requirements for hand-written assembly\, use of BTI and PAC instructions\, and PAC key management. We dive into real-world toolchain and language impacts\, including changes to C code generation\, C++ exception unwinding\, DWARF metadata updates\, and use of Arm's hint space instructions. Attendees will also learn common pitfalls\, debugging challenges\, and deployment trade-offs observed in practice.\n \n By the end of this session\, participants will understand how to deploy PAC\, GCS\, and BTI across Linux.

SUMMARY:KV-Cache Centric Inference: Building an Open Source LLM Serving Platform Around State - Martin Hickey\, IBM Research
DESCRIPTION:We optimize LLM inference around compute—faster kernels\, better batching\, smarter parallelism. But in production\, the real bottleneck is state. The KV‑cache holds precomputed attention data that turns a multi‑second prefill into a sub‑second cache hit. Lose it to eviction\, isolate it on one node\, or route away from it\, and you pay the full compute cost again for work you already did.\n \n llm-d is an open-source distributed inference platform\, co-founded by Google\, IBM Research\, Red Hat\, NVIDIA\, and CoreWeave\, that treats the KV‑cache as the core of the system rather than a byproduct. That enables tiered memory management—offloading KV blocks from GPU to CPU to shared storage—cross‑replica reuse so cached state computed anywhere is usable everywhere\, and cache‑aware scheduling that routes requests to the replica most likely to hold their prefix.\n \n This session walks through how llm-d and vLLM implement each layer of this stack\, how they combine into a production system\, and what the open‑source community can build on top. We’ll share benchmarks\, Kubernetes deployment patterns\, and practical guidance for operators running LLM workloads at scale.

SUMMARY:When Similar Is Good Enough: Rethinking Caching for AI - Madelyn Olson\, Valkey & Jacob Murphy\, Google Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Caching has traditionally relied on exact matches: the same input produces the same cached output. AI systems challenge this assumption by introducing semantic similarity — requests that are different on the surface but equivalent in meaning. This talk explores how caching is evolving to support AI workloads\, from classical key-value strategies to semantic caching using vector search. We'll walk through a practical architecture that layers exact and semantic caches in front of an expensive model and demonstrate how hybrid caching can reduce cost and latency. This talk will explore multiple open-source systems\, such as OpenSearch and Valkey\, and discuss the tradeoffs that they provide and when they matter.

SUMMARY:Building an OSPO From the Ground Up: Enterprise Policy To Contribution and Compliance - Kevin Fruchey & Jeff Skarb\, Lenovo
DESCRIPTION:Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) are becoming essential for organizations of all sizes\, yet many struggle with where to start and how to scale effectively. In this session\, we will share a practical framework for building an OSPO based on real enterprise experience.\n \n The talk begins with establishing an enterprise open source policy that aligns engineering\, legal\, and security stakeholders while enabling innovation. From there\, it breaks down the two core OSPO pillars: contribution and compliance. Within compliance\, the session dives deeper into managing distributed versus non-distributed software and explains why treating these use cases differently reduces friction and improves outcomes.\n \n Attendees will gain a clear\, adaptable model for designing an OSPO that works for large enterprises and can scale down for smaller organizations. The session focuses on real-world lessons learned\, common pitfalls\, and actionable guidance that teams can apply immediately.

SUMMARY:Keep It Clean: Practical Strategies for Reducing Build-System and Host Tech Debt - Joe Schneider\, Dojo Five
DESCRIPTION:Long-running embedded projects inevitably accumulate build-system and host-platform debt. Team turnover\, drifting documentation\, and “crunch mode” shortcuts compound over time until onboarding a new engineer takes weeks and even experienced developers struggle to make safe changes. These problems are especially acute in Linux-based and cross-platform environments\, where host variability and undocumented assumptions undermine reproducibility.\n \n This session distills lessons learned from modernizing embedded firmware build environments across Linux hosts and CI systems. Attendees will learn practical techniques for eliminating “it works on my machine” failures\, accelerating incremental and clean builds\, and making build behavior explicit and reproducible using open-source tooling. Topics include scripting and automation patterns\, modern command runners\, and structuring build systems to be CI-friendly and maintainable.\n \n Joe Schneider\, embedded systems veteran and CEO of Dojo Five\, will share concrete practices that reduce onboarding time\, improve build reliability\, and restore developer productivity by systematically attacking build-system and host-level technical debt.

SUMMARY:Building Autonomy on PX4: A Hands-On Workshop for Embedded and Robotics Developers - Ramon Roche\, The Linux Foundation & Nuno Marques\, Drone Solutions
DESCRIPTION:By the end of this workshop\, every attendee will land a simulated drone precisely on an ArUco marker using computer vision\, with PX4 running the drone and ROS 2 handling the control logic. PX4 powers over a million drones worldwide\, and in this session you'll run the exact same production firmware on your laptop. Precision landing on a visual marker is a real-world capability used in package delivery\, autonomous charging\, and marine recovery\, and you'll build it from scratch.\n\nWe'll start by booting PX4 in Gazebo simulation and exploring the architecture of a production flight stack\, including uORB\, the pub-sub middleware that connects every module in PX4. From there\, we'll connect PX4 to ROS 2 via the uXRCE-DDS bridge\, build a custom flight mode using the px4-ros2-interface-lib\, detect ArUco markers with OpenCV\, and estimate pose from a simulated camera\, and finally wire perception into the flight mode to execute an autonomous precision landing.\n\nThis workshop is for embedded developers looking for a robotics application of their existing skills\, ROS 2 developers wanting to move beyond MAVLink offboard control\, and anyone interested in seeing how perception\, control\, and middleware come together in a real flight stack. No drone experience required.\nHosted by Dronecode maintainers Ramón Roche and Nuno Marques\, with guest contributors from the PX4 ecosystem.\n\nWorkshop Requirements (please read before attending): \nBring a laptop. Any OS works\, but in order of expected smoothness: Linux is your best bet\, followed by Windows\, then macOS. Workshop materials and setup instructions live at https://github.com/Dronecode/ossna-26-workshop. Pre-install the Docker containers before arriving\, since conference Wi-Fi might be unreliable and pulling multi-gigabyte images on-site will eat into your workshop time. macOS users should note that the container image doesn't run Gazebo well\; use the official PX4 setup script at https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/main/Tools/setup/macos.sh with the --sim-tools flag to install Gazebo natively (details in the workshop repo). Join the Dronecode Discord at https://chat.dronecode.org for workshop updates\, setup help\, and community support before\, during\, and after the event\, and keep an eye on the repo and Discord in the days leading up for any last-minute changes.\n\n

SUMMARY:From Apps To Infrastructure: A Cloud Native First Approach - Julien Semaan\, Kubex & Corey McGalliard\, Akamai
DESCRIPTION:Traditional infrastructure GitOps workflows\, commonly built on tools like Terraform or OpenTofu\, often struggle with state management\, limited reconciliation\, and delayed drift detection. Because these systems operate outside the Kubernetes control plane\, infrastructure changes follow different lifecycle and failure semantics than applications\, making it difficult to reason about system-wide correctness and safety.\n \n We’ll present a unified approach for managing both applications and infrastructure through the Kubernetes control plane. This approach brings together GitOps controllers and Crossplane to extend the Kubernetes API to infrastructure via an ecosystem of community-supported providers spanning major clouds\, alternative clouds\, and on-prem. The result is a vendor-neutral foundation where applications and infrastructure follow the same review\, lifecycle\, and reconciliation model.

SUMMARY:It Works on My Bench (And Nowhere Else): DevOps for Embedded Systems - Colleen Lake\, GitLab
DESCRIPTION:Embedded software complexity has doubled every four years for decades. The way most teams build and deploy it is still stuck in the 2010s. Version control exists\, but it's still not unusual for code to be shipped from a sharpie-labeled SD card or prod code to live on one machine. Deployment still means walking over to a test bench and hoping nobody else is using it. "It works on my machine" is often an entire strategy.\n \n This talk brings modern DevOps to embedded systems. We'll cover version control workflows that actually work for firmware\, build environments that don't depend on that one engineer's laptop\, CI/CD pipelines that integrate with real hardware\, and deployment strategies that reduce the risk of bricking devices in the field. We'll also touch on what to steal from web DevOps and what doesn't translate when your deployment target isn't a cloud server.\n \n We'll demo the whole flow: commit\, build\, deploy to hardware. You'll leave with practical patterns you can bring back to your own embedded projects. Some embedded experience is useful\, but if you've ever been frustrated by how your team ships firmware\, you'll get something out of this.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Untangling Secure Key Provisioning in U-Boot: Scalable EFuse Programming in Production - Harsha Vardhan Veerappan Murugesan & Kavitha Malarvizhi\, Texas Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Note: Open to presenting as Lightning Talk\n \n Secure provisioning is a foundational step in productizing embedded Linux systems\, especially when enabling secure boot and establishing silicon identity through eFuses or one-time programmable (OTP) memory. Yet many teams still rely on manual fuse programming flows that are error-prone and difficult to scale particularly when dealing with complex\, vendor-specific fuse maps. This talk explores how modern U-Boot capabilities streamline secure device provisioning in real manufacturing workflows. It introduces an upstream enhancement to U-Boot’s fuse subsystem that supports bulk\, structured eFuse programming. This approach makes fuse provisioning more automation-friendly\, and suitable for production use. Attendees will gain practical insights on integrating U-Boot-based provisioning into factory flows.\n Agenda:\n 1. Challenges in Traditional eFuse Programming on Embedded Systems\n 2. U-Boot’s Existing Fuse Subsystem and Its Limitations in Production Flows\n 3. Design and Upstream Integration of the 'fuse writebuff' command\n 4. Structured\, Automated Provisioning using Memory Buffers\n 5. Practical Provisioning and Production Workflow Considerations

SUMMARY:Zero Trust AI Agents: Securing MCP in Private Kubernetes Networks - Mithil Patel\, Equinix
DESCRIPTION:The transition from passive RAG to autonomous agentic workflows forces a dangerous trade-off: to be useful\, agents need access\; to be safe\, they need restrictions. Giving a non-deterministic LLM distinct permissions to your Kubernetes cluster is a security nightmare\, yet agentic tool execution demands real-world access to be effective.\n \n This session introduces a battle-tested architecture for Zero Trust Agents. We will demonstrate how to secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers within private networks\, replacing risky static credentials with a dynamic control plane that enforces strict safety guardrails.\n \n Attendees will learn:\n \n Identity for Autonomy: How to integrate OpenBao (OpenSSF) to issue Just-In-Time (JIT) credentials\, ensuring agents only hold permissions during active tool use.\n \n Bounding Agency: Implementing "Read/Write Separation" at the protocol level\, preventing stochastic errors or misinterpretations from causing deterministic outages.\n \n Secure Orchestration: A blueprint for deploying MCP servers as secure bridges between AI reasoning and internal infrastructure.\n \n Stop building toys. Learn how to deploy autonomous systems that your security team will actually approve.

SUMMARY:Serverless for Open-Source Maintainers: Automating the Boring\, Scaling the Impact - Hemant Bharadwaj & Antra Purohit\, Microsoft
DESCRIPTION:Open source projects often struggle not with code\, but with scale: issue triage\, pull request validation\, release automation\, and community operations all consume maintainer time. Serverless\, when built on open standards\, offers a powerful way to automate these workflows without adding operational overhead.\n This talk explores how open source maintainers can use event‑driven\, serverless patterns to automate project workflows such as issue labeling\, CI triggers\, release orchestration\, and contributor notifications. Using open technologies like CloudEvents\, CDEvents\, OpenTelemetry\, and container‑based functions on Kubernetes\, we show how to build portable\, vendor‑neutral serverless automation that works across environments.\n Attendees will learn practical design patterns\, common pitfalls\, and real‑world examples of using serverless automation to improve project reliability\, contributor experience\, and maintainer sustainability without locking into any single platform.

SUMMARY:Day 2 Neurodiversity: Moving Beyond Fundamentals With Merge Forward - Ryan Etten\, RHCA\, Red Hat & Diana Todea\, VictoriaMetrics
DESCRIPTION:Open source has made progress in recognizing neurodiversity\, but most conversations remain at the level of awareness and good intentions. What happens on Day 2\, after we agree that inclusion matters?\n \n We will examine what is still missing in the open source neurodiversity conversation\, critique the narrative of neurotalent\, and evaluate whether framing neurodivergent contributors as inherently gifted helps inclusion or creates new pressures. We need to ask: are we reinventing existing initiatives\, or does the real gap lie in how our contribution models\, communication norms\, and governance structures are designed?\n \n Our goal is to tackle structural questions rather than proposing a new label or movement. How can open source communities reduce cognitive friction\, clarify expectations\, and design processes that support a wider range of thinking styles? What concrete steps move us beyond fundamentals and into sustainable practice? Join Merge Forward to help move open source from a culture of good intentions to one of engineered accessibility.

SUMMARY:Retconning Accessibility Standards With ARIA-AT - Chris Cuellar\, Bocoup
DESCRIPTION:Many accessibility applications and automated tests rely solely on an abstract representation of the user interface (the so-called "accessibility tree") as their source of truth. By ignoring the process that screen readers take to translate this abstraction into spoken text\, developers often build false confidence in accessibility implementations and miss critical user experience issues.\n \n This talk explores how Bocoup's technical innovations (capturing real screen reader output across platforms and operating systems) has enabled essential discussions among screen reader vendors\, standards editors\, and application developers at the W3C's ARIA-AT Community Group. We'll examine the incentive structures which pit market differentiation against consistency and even correctness. We'll demonstrate how the ARIA-AT project addresses this problem head-on with a test-driven approach to consensus and the ultimate goal of standardization.

SUMMARY:OCI Images: Not Just for Containers Anymore - Austin Abro\, Defense Unicorns
DESCRIPTION:Docker popularized the container\; OCI standardized the artifact. That shift\, from a specific format to a global specification\, is what allowed us to expand beyond just 'running apps.' Now\, whether it's Cosign for security\, OpenTofu for infrastructure\, or Zarf for air-gapped distribution\, the ecosystem is leveraging a common foundation to solve complex supply chain problems. Additionally\, Kubernetes’ recent work on OCI read-only volumes signifies a paradigm shift: we are now using images as a pure data transfer mechanism rather than just a runtime environment. Yet the elegant design that enables the OCI images is mostly hidden from users.\n \n In this session\, we'll create our own custom OCI artifact from scratch. Along the way\, we'll learn the benefits of the OCI specification: the efficiency of its storage model\, its simple cross-platform experience\, and its secure-by-default design. Developers will walk away with a starting point for packaging their own custom artifacts\, while practitioners will gain a deeper understanding of the OCI artifacts powering their workflows.

DESCRIPTION:AMD\, in collaboration with the Xen community\, continues to advance efforts to make the Xen hypervisor safety-certifiable to ISO 26262 ASIL D and IEC 61508 SIL 3. The project has progressed from Safety Concept Approval toward the final certification phase.\n \n This presentation will share practical lessons learned\, including how we structure requirements and architecture specification documents to make them easier to review for Open Source experts. It will describe the tools and processes we use to maintain end-to-end traceability and explain how we leverage GitLab to automate requirements-based testing and verification pipelines.\n \n We will also address the remaining challenges on the path to completion\, including code coverage and FMEA. In particular\, we will explain why achieving comprehensive code coverage is uniquely challenging for a widely used Open Source project such as Xen and outline the strategies we are applying to meet 100% code coverage targets.\n \n Finally\, we will describe our approach to FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and how it evolved to better align with existing upstream Xen failure-handling practices.

SUMMARY:Building a Shared\, Persistent Virtual Filesystem for WebAssembly - Ayako Hayasaka\, LY Corporation
DESCRIPTION:Server-side WebAssembly applications need filesystem access\, but current options are limited. Host filesystem access breaks portability and sandboxing. wasi-vfs is read-only and targets Preview 1. wasi-virt supports Preview 2 but remains read-only and single-application only.\n We present a virtual filesystem built on WASI Preview 2 and the Component Model that supports read/write\, multi-app sharing\, dynamic attachment via RPC\, and optional S3 persistence. The stack uses open-source tooling from the Bytecode Alliance: wasmtime\, wac\, and wit-bindgen.\n The talk walks through our architecture: an inode-based in-memory filesystem exposed through custom adapters implementing wasi:filesystem\, composed at build time with wac plug. We then separate the filesystem into a standalone server\, add RPC for runtime attachment without recompilation\, and layer S3 persistence for durability. Each stage is demonstrated live.\n We close with lessons learned and tradeoffs between build-time composition and runtime RPC. No deep Wasm expertise is assumed. This talk is for developers building Wasm platforms\, those exploring the Component Model\, and anyone curious about filesystem virtualization in WebAssembly.

SUMMARY:Hello World\, Meet the Spanimals: Getting Started With Observability - Tiffany Jernigan\, Grafana Labs
DESCRIPTION:What do a raccoon\, a goat\, and a goose have in common? They all take part in a tracing adventure where we’ll use OpenTelemetry and the Grafana observability stack to easily showcase a cloud-native observability scenario. In this session\, you’ll learn what distributed tracing is\, why it’s incredibly helpful for understanding how requests flow through multi-service systems\, and how it can reveal issues like latency and unexpected errors — alongside metrics\, logs\, traces\, and profiles for a complete observability picture. We’ll walk through a multi-service application that uses AI to generate animal facts and images\, tracing each request from API call to fact and image generation to database storage. Along the way\, you’ll learn how to use OpenTelemetry to instrument Python and Java applications and visualize the full request journey using easy to understand\, open-source dashboards for metrics\, logs\, traces\, and profiles. If a goat can survive cloud-native observability\, so can you.

SUMMARY:Construct a Lean and Fast RISC-V System Emulator Capable of Running Linux - Jim Huang\, National Cheng Kung University
DESCRIPTION:While mature solutions such as QEMU provide broad architectural coverage\, they are optimized for generality rather than minimal footprint\, rapid bring-up\, or architectural experimentation. To examine system-level design trade-offs\, gain fine-grained control over memory and execution behavior\, and enable lightweight Linux-based sandboxing and verification\, we built a RISC-V system emulator from scratch.\n \n rv32emu [1] supports RV32IMACF with Zifencei and Zicsr\, along with CLINT\, MMIO\, and a complete Sv32 three-level page table. Through VirtIO integration\, it efficiently maps Linux guest services to host resources. A tiered JIT compilation framework accelerates Linux workloads while reducing memory consumption compared to QEMU. \n \n This talk presents the architectural decisions behind building a compact yet Linux-capable RISC-V system emulator\, highlighting trade-offs in ISA support\, memory management\, JIT design\, and device virtualization\, and sharing practical techniques with a lean footprint without sacrificing performance or correctness.\n \n [1] https://github.com/sysprog21/rv32emu

SUMMARY:Using Embedded Linux for Autonomous Robot Control - Chloe Zhu\, The Admissions Authority
DESCRIPTION:The NAO robotics platform has been around for some time\, originally developed by Aldebaran and SoftBank\, and now by Maxtronics. Its OpenNAO operating system is based on the Gentoo embedded Linux OS\, and uses the NAOqi API for autonomous robot control. We also used the OpenCV computer vision library as part of our open source software stack to program our NAO humanoid robot.\n \n In this talk\, I will present our work to engineer an autonomous behavior system that fuses real-time vision detection with motion planning and closed-loop control. We implemented a perception-to-action pipeline using NAOqi\, OpenCV\, and camera and motion calibration to detect targets\, estimate relative pose\, and drive head movement\, walking\, and task actions through a finite-state controller. We designed the system for robust target search\, alignment\, and approach under real hardware constraints. I will present a summary of our work\, our results from participation in a robot golf tournament\, and some thoughts on using open source to develop next-generation robotics platforms.

SUMMARY:Breaking the TCP Barrier: Accelerated I/O for S3 with RDMA - Vidushi Mishra\, IBM/Redhat
DESCRIPTION:S3 APIs power modern Linux infrastructure\, yet most object storage traffic still relies on TCP/IP. Under high concurrency and large transfers\, TCP becomes CPU-intensive and limits throughput. RDMA promises Accelerated I/O through kernel bypass and zero-copy data movement—but applying RDMA to S3 workloads is not the same as NFS or block storage.This session explores how RDMA can accelerate S3-style object transfers in distributed storage systems. We examine memory registration strategies\, connection scalability\, and what changes when dealing with multipart uploads\, HTTP range reads\, and parallel clients.Through real validation scenarios\, we compare throughput\, latency\, and CPU usage across TCP and RDMA paths. We’ll also highlight where RDMA excels\, and where it falls short\, such as in small-object or metadata-heavy workloads.Attendees will gain a practical framework for evaluating Accelerated I/O in their own Linux storage environments: what to measure\, what to tune\, and what performance gains to realistically expect.

SUMMARY:Introduction To the Linux Boot Process - Angelina Vu & Karissa Sanchez\, Microsoft
DESCRIPTION:From the moment you press the power button to the instant the login prompt appears\, a complex sequence of events happens behind the scenes to get your Linux system up and running. This talk aims to demystify the Linux boot process through a deep dive into each stage. \n Starting from the role of system firmware\, we compare legacy BIOS with modern UEFI and see why there has been a shift to UEFI. From there\, we move on to the bootloader stage\, discussing its function in loading the kernel and passing control over to it. Using GRUB as an example\, we show how to view and customize bootloader configurations. Next\, we explore the kernel initialization stage\, including the role of initrd/initramfs\, how the real root filesystem is mounted\, and how the kernel initializes essential system components and launches the first userspace process. From there\, control transitions to the init system. We examine SysVinit and its more modern alternative\, systemd\, and their roles in bringing the rest of the system online.\n Finally\, we cover practical debugging techniques\, such as viewing boot logs\, analyzing boot performance\, optimizing boot up time\, and improving security with features like Secure Boot.

SUMMARY:Beyond First PRs: Converting Students Into Long-Term Open Source Contributors - Lola Egherman\, CodeDay
DESCRIPTION:Open source projects everywhere are asking the same question: where will the next generation of reliable contributors or maintainers come from? The answer is already here\, students\, but most projects lack a repeatable\, maintainer-friendly system to convert student interest into sustained\, high-quality contributions.\n \n This session presents a field-tested\, scalable framework for turning students from first-time contributors into long-term community members and technical collaborators. Drawing from real program experience working with student contributor pipelines\, we will break down how maintainers and organisations can design contribution pathways that reduce review burden\, improve contribution quality\, and increase retention\, without diluting project standards.\n \n We will cover practical ideas for structuring beginner-to-advanced issue ladders and contributor experience design that keeps students engaged beyond their first pull request. The talk will also address common maintainer concerns around signal-to-noise ratio and review bandwidth when working with early-career contributors.

SUMMARY:Is Maven Safe for Production? - Adam Kaplan\, Red Hat & Manfred Moser\, Chainguard
DESCRIPTION:Apache Maven’s central role in the Java ecosystem is undeniable\, however its flexible plugin framework creates significant hurdles for adopting modern secure software practices. Securing the Java software supply chain to meet CRA and other regulatory requirements can feel like a daunting\, if not impossible task.\n \n This session will dive deep into the technical complexities of producing secured Maven builds through the practical experiences of two open source redistributors. You will learn strategies for producing SLSA artifacts for Maven builds\, approaches for signing Java artifacts with Sigstore Cosign\, and barriers to producing complete and accurate Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) with Maven. We will also explore newer developments in the Maven ecosystem for cataloging dependencies and establishing trust in the Maven build process. This talk will conclude with a discussion of current gaps in Maven that could be addressed with the upcoming release of Maven 4.

SUMMARY:Building Autonomy on PX4: A Hands-On Workshop for Embedded and Robotics Developers (Continued) - Ramon Roche\, The Linux Foundation & Nuno Marques\, Drone Solutions
DESCRIPTION:By the end of this workshop\, every attendee will land a simulated drone precisely on an ArUco marker using computer vision\, with PX4 running the drone and ROS 2 handling the control logic. PX4 powers over a million drones worldwide\, and in this session you'll run the exact same production firmware on your laptop. Precision landing on a visual marker is a real-world capability used in package delivery\, autonomous charging\, and marine recovery\, and you'll build it from scratch.\n\nWe'll start by booting PX4 in Gazebo simulation and exploring the architecture of a production flight stack\, including uORB\, the pub-sub middleware that connects every module in PX4. From there\, we'll connect PX4 to ROS 2 via the uXRCE-DDS bridge\, build a custom flight mode using the px4-ros2-interface-lib\, detect ArUco markers with OpenCV\, and estimate pose from a simulated camera\, and finally wire perception into the flight mode to execute an autonomous precision landing.\n\nThis workshop is for embedded developers looking for a robotics application of their existing skills\, ROS 2 developers wanting to move beyond MAVLink offboard control\, and anyone interested in seeing how perception\, control\, and middleware come together in a real flight stack. No drone experience required.\nHosted by Dronecode maintainers Ramón Roche and Nuno Marques\, with guest contributors from the PX4 ecosystem.\n\nWorkshop Requirements (please read before attending):&nbsp\;\nBring a laptop. Any OS works\, but in order of expected smoothness: Linux is your best bet\, followed by Windows\, then macOS. Workshop materials and setup instructions live at https://github.com/Dronecode/ossna-26-workshop. Pre-install the Docker containers before arriving\, since conference Wi-Fi might be unreliable and pulling multi-gigabyte images on-site will eat into your workshop time. macOS users should note that the container image doesn't run Gazebo well\; use the official PX4 setup script at https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/main/Tools/setup/macos.sh with the --sim-tools flag to install Gazebo natively (details in the workshop repo). Join the Dronecode Discord at https://chat.dronecode.org for workshop updates\, setup help\, and community support before\, during\, and after the event\, and keep an eye on the repo and Discord in the days leading up for any last-minute changes.\n\n

SUMMARY:From Pull Request To Patient Safety: How Tidepool Built an Open-Source Quality Management System - Tapani Otala\, Tidepool
DESCRIPTION:When software can directly affect whether someone lives or dies\, "move fast and break things" isn't an option. But does that mean safety-critical software can't be open source? Tidepool's experience building Tidepool Loop - an FDA-cleared\, open-source automated insulin delivery (AID) system for people with Type 1 diabetes - proves it can.\n \n This talk explores how Tidepool developed an open-source quality management system (QMS) that achieves full requirements traceability and testability while preserving the collaborative\, transparent ethos of open-source development. We'll walk through the real-world challenges of mapping regulatory requirements to code contributions\, maintaining traceability across a distributed contributor base\, and building test infrastructure that satisfies both FDA expectations and open-source community standards.\n \n Attendees will leave with a practical framework for applying requirements traceability and verification practices to open-source projects operating in regulated or safety-critical domains from medical devices to automotive systems to critical infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Cache Me If You Can: Decentralize Your Distributed Caches With Hollow - Viswanathan Ranganathan\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:Distributed caches are often used for scenarios that don't actually require them. For massive datasets (100's of GB's or more)\, distributed caches make sense—the data simply won't fit in a single node's memory. However\, distributed caches tend to be overkill when working with smaller data sets (100s of MBs to 10s of GBs) that do fit in memory. Additionally\, using traditional In-Memory caching libraries creates additional operational challenges\, such as cache stampedes during TTL expiration\, memory spikes during reloads\, and long cold-start times that directly affect deployment velocity.\n \n This talk proposes an alternate\, unconventional view: What if we could decentralize our cache while centralizing its preparation? We'll discuss how dataset distribution using Hollow (an open-source project by Netflix) enables applications to serve data from local memory with microsecond access latency while staying perfectly synchronized via delta-based updates.\n \n We'll cover:\n - Design trade-offs that make this pattern ideal for GB-scale\, read-heavy workloads.\n - Delta-based updates that optimize cache reloads/refreshes.\n - Zero-downtime updates applied in milliseconds without memory spikes.

SUMMARY:The Service Mesh: Solving Microservice Chaos (And When You Actually Need One) - Mofesola Babalola\, Extreme Networks & Hannah Olukoye\, DKB Code Factory
DESCRIPTION:Microservices promised speed and independence\, but for many SREs and developers\, they delivered network complexity. Suddenly\, we're all part-time network engineers. We have to code retry logic\, timeouts\, and circuit breakers into every service. We struggle to get uniform "golden signal" metrics. And how do we enforce that all 50 of our polyglot services are communicating securely over mTLS?\n \n This is the "microservice tax\," and it's holding us back.\n \n Enter the service mesh. You've heard the buzzwords\, Istio\, Linkerd\, but what is a mesh\, and what problems does it actually solve? Is it just hype\, or is it the key to taming a complex distributed system?\n \n We'll cover the three pillars of a mesh:\n \n Reliability: Automatic retries\, timeouts\, and circuit breakers.\n \n Observability: Uniform metrics\, logging\, and tracing for every call.\n \n Security: Automatic mTLS (encryption) and fine-grained authorization policies.

SUMMARY:Building the Simplest Possible Linux System - Rob Landley\, Hobbyist
DESCRIPTION:Once you've done enough of them\, putting together a simple Linux system is easy. The hard part is working out what "simple" means in each new context.\n \n We'll start by building and booting an example minimal Linux system to a shell prompt\, first under QEMU and again on real hardware. Then we'll explain the theory: build environment (dependency management\, reproducibility)\, native vs cross compiling (toolchain selection\, libc selection\, static vs dynamic)\, board bringup theory\, kernel configuration\, initramfs creation (and other root filesystem options)\, installing and booting\, the init process and system bringup\, hardware resource management and I/O categories\, and running "your app" on its own dedicated device.\n \n If there's time we'll go into software dependencies AGAIN (on target this time)\, add an example server (sshd)\, add a native toolchain to compile "hello world" on the target (build vs development environment)\, and some perspective on the online book "Linux From Scratch" for further reading (plus "what is a container".

SUMMARY:When 10\,000 Screens Go Dark: Engineering Resilient Linux Drivers for Manufacturing Reality - Ram Mohan Rao Chukka\, JFrog & Subhajit Ghosh\, Tweaklogic
DESCRIPTION:Ten thousand LCD panels passed Incoming Quality Control. Firmware injection began. Production stopped.\n During the development of our next-generation Automated Fare Collection (AFC) machines\, we qualified multiple LCD vendors\, designed a custom MIPI DSI touchscreen panel\, developed display and peripheral drivers\, and prepared for mass production. Everything worked—until firmware flashing began. Devices that previously functioned flawlessly suddenly booted to dead displays. The same firmware image now failed across the line.\n The root cause wasn’t firmware. It wasn’t hardware failure. It was a silent vendor-side change: the LCD panel driver IC had been swapped for a different silicon revision—without changing the panel model.\n The Linux DRM panel framework assumes static hardware described in the Device Tree. Manufacturing does not. MIPI DSI panel drivers are based on LCD model types not Display IC model types.\n This talk presents a real-world production failure and the redesign that followed: replacing static panel definitions with runtime detection of display controller ICs via MIPI DCS\, dynamic initialization sequencing\, and a more resilient driver architecture.

SUMMARY:From Active To Archive: Shepherding Repositories Through Their Sunset - Natalia Luzuriaga\, Dinne Kopelevich\, Remy DeCausemaker & Sachin Panayil\, CMS.gov; Dawn Foster\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:In the world of Open Source there are plenty of talks\, resources\, and guides about where to begin\, and how to grow your project. But what happens at the end? How do you know when It Is Time? And how do you say goodbye with compassion and dignity?\n \n In this talk\, members of the CHAOSS.community and the Open Source Program Office at the Digital Service at CMS.gov will be sharing their latest practitioner’s guide on archival. This talk will be highlighting use cases from the private and public sector\, and demonstrating how to use repository metrics\, maturity models\, and archival checklists for succession planning\, stewardship\, and sunsetting of Open Source projects.\n \n Projects are not valuable solely based upon the utility of their results or outputs\, they reflect the record of our progress. Archives provide transparency\, accountability\, and attribution. Archives build trust\, reduce duplicate work\, and reduce risk. The work saved in our archived repositories allows historians and practitioners to more accurately and completely understand the story of open source.

SUMMARY:Standardizing Deterministic Interoperability and Resource-Intelligent Design in Medical Robotics - Lilinoe Harbottle\, San Jose State University
DESCRIPTION:In medical robotics\, innovation can be bottlenecked by vertically integrated architectures that contribute to medical “deserts” due to high costs and limited interoperability. This session explores architectural frameworks for standardizing deterministic interoperability\, shifting the safety burden from non-transparent hardware to auditable software logic. By establishing these standards\, this work ensures that clinical technology is not restricted by fixed vendor-lock.\n \n Through a methodology of high-precision kinematic verification and deterministic mapping\, open-source code becomes the catalyst for hardware autonomy. This approach ensures sub-millisecond reliability in the operating room while promoting lifecycle sustainability through vendor-neutral middleware.\n \n Attendees will learn about the implementation of safety-operated envelopes and clinical validation models that facilitate reproducible research and lower barriers to local manufacturing. By prioritizing architectural transparency over closed-loop frameworks\, this session outlines a path toward a more sustainable and accessible future for global healthcare.

SUMMARY:Modernizing Software Verification - Craig Christianson\, United States Air Force
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, I will discuss the importance of verifying safety-critical software by giving real-world examples of peoples' lives who were saved or put at risk by software. I will share the compliance challenges faced by software engineers working on safety-critical software. I will give a brief overview of software assurance requirements for safety-critical systems and show how formal methods and automated reasoning are accelerating and improving the assurance process. I will give a brief introduction to automated reasoning tools and semantics\, and I will share success stories from a handful of open-source projects who are using these methods to reach assurance goals faster. I will finish by walking the audience through the design of a simple demonstration project that utilizes these technologies.
