Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference North America 2026

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.



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.
