Automatic Operator Generation for Open AI frameworks: MindSpore/AKG - Harenome Razanajato, Huawei
Artificial intelligence frameworks such as MindSpore, TensorFlow or PyTorch aim at providing high-level abstractions to enable rapid development of new operators and at supporting various architectures to enable computation onto the desired target platform. Translating programs written by AI scientists to efficient implementations on complex parallel hardware is an extreme compilation challenge. Existing frameworks heavily rely on high-performance implementations of well-known operators through optimized libraries. However, those libraries may miss global optimization opportunities and scientists may design new operators not covered by existing libraries. In such scenarios, a more general compiler solution is required. This solution must generate high-performance code that exploits the target architecture and also be fast enough to allow researchers to quickly evaluate their new design. In this session, we will present to the community AKG (Auto Kernel Generator), which is the automatic AI/DL fused operator generation solution of the Open Source framework MindSpore. AKG relies on the polyhedral abstraction of programs to enable automatic parallelization and optimization. We will discuss the software, its architecture, abilities and roadmap, as well as the current top challenges.

From Kubernetes With ♥ Open Tools For Open, Secure Supply Chains - Adolfo García Veytia, Chainguard
For the past two years, the Kubernetes Release Engineering Team (a subproject of SIG Release) has been hard at work hardening the Kubernetes supply chain, aiming to make it SLSA Level 3 compliant by the time Kubernetes 1.25 is released. The road to level 3 has produced a complete suite of open source projects that constitute the fundamental building blocks of a secure supply chain. And now, other projects and companies can leverage the Kubernetes release toolset to secure their chains! Guided by the CNCF Security TAG Best Practices whitepaper, the Release Engineering team built a set of tools that allow anyone to: - Building and publishing SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) - Securely releasing staged images and artifacts - Signing and verifying container images and binaries leveraging Sigstore's transparency log, CA, and public infrastructure - Generating SLSA attestations of each step in a release pipeline All release tooling was designed from the get-go to be completely general-purpose and the talk will feature how other projects beyond K8s itself are using them in their releases. To finish the talk, Adolfo will demo a reference implementation of a SLSA-compliant pipeline using the K8s Release Engineering tools which any project can use to build its release process.

Containers – A Look Under the Hood - Gerlof Langeveld, AT Computing
There are many implementations available to run containerized applications, such as Docker, CRI-O and Podman. All implementations depend on distinct features that are offered by the Linux kernel. Knowledge about these features helps you to understand how containerized applications operate under the hood and eventually helps with debugging. Gerlof covers three kernel features that are the foundation of the container concept: 1. Kernel namespaces, used to isolate a process from the other processes running on the same host.  2. Process-related root directory, that enables an application process to have its own private mini-filesystem, just containing the files that are needed to run that process.  3. Capabilities, used to determine the special privileges for a process, independent of the fact whether the process runs under root identity (uid 0) or not.  Gerlof also explains the relation of these features with particular parameters that are used for container platforms, like ‘--pid=host’ (namespaces) or ‘--cap-add=...’ (capabilities) when using Docker. During this workshop you gain hands-on experience by building a containerized application, just by using standard Linux commands.

Tutorial: Beyond Neural Search: Hands-on Building Cross-Modal/Multi-Modal Solution with Jina AI - Han Xiao & Sami Jaghouar, Jina AI
Neural search is using deep learning to search unstructured data, which has been developed rapidly over the last 2 years. With opensource framework like Jina (https://github.com/jina-ai/jina), searching cross-modal/multi-modal data via deep neural networks becomes extremely straightforward. DALL·E, a powerful image-to-text generator released by OpenAI in 2021 further boosts the popularity of multimodal applications. We now see thousands of astonishing artwork made by DALL·E every day. How all these new technologies will change our way of comprehending data? Most importantly, how can developers easily build solutions & applications leveraging those technologies? This tutorial will answer these two questions. This tutorial is bi-partite. In part 1, Dr. Han Xiao will introduce the recent advances of neural search and multi-modal intelligence. He will break down the design principle of Jina ecosystem. In part 2 (bring your laptop), Han will guide step by step to build DALL·E Flow: a Human-in-the-Loop workflow for creating HD images from text.

Cloud Native Security for the Rest of Us - Tiffany Jernigan, VMware
Your mission is to secure the vast tracts of land of the Cloud Native security landscape. Where do you even start?!? It would be preposterous to cover that whole topic in a single session, but we can at least map it out. Our plan is to break it down into three key areas and review each in turn. * Platform - securing and upgrading our control planes and nodes; isolating compute, storage, and network resources; managing privileges and secrets. * User management and permissions - various ways to authenticate and authorize user access; leveraging tools like RBAC and Namespaces, and some common "gotchas". * Software supply chain - what that means; some actual threat models are; how to mitigate them. You will leave this session with a stronger understanding of the breadth and depth of Cloud Native security and resources to further develop your knowledge.

Dev Team Metrics that Matter - Avishag Sahar, LinearB
What is the most valuable outcome? This is the most important question to answer before starting an engineering metrics program. In this talk I discuss which dev team metrics matter most, the outcome they produce, and pitfalls to avoid when starting a metrics initiative. The truth is, no one really likes being measured, especially devs. But business leaders like looking at numbers, so they grab what’s easily available - # of code changes, agile velocity, individual dev metrics. These types of metrics are unbalanced, exclude context, and hurt engineering culture as a whole. What you measure is what your team will produce. If you start measuring the number of code changes as a key performance metric, you are going to see coding time, PR size, and Cycle Time all increase. Don’t fall into this trap. In this session I discuss which team level metrics are most significant, the outcomes they produce, and strategies that will help you avoid the mistakes I’ve already made.

Improving Package Repository Security – From White Papers to Practice - Jussi Kukkonen, Google
Community package repositories (like PyPI or NPM) struggle to keep up with modern security demands. In this talk Jussi will cover how the repositories - and the security expectations - have changed over time. He is going to focus on the obstacles: what is preventing faster integration of modern security practices? Are community repositories more problematic than software projects in general? Some practical examples will be covered, most importantly PyPIs goal of integrating The Update Framework (TUF) into their workflows: why has even a more minimal integration taken so long and what is preventing PyPI from leveraging TUF fully, when the potential advantages seem so obvious? Finally a collaboration project, Repository Playground, is proposed: A way for the various community repository projects and the independent security projects, such as the TUF community or the SLSA community, to work together to define Best Practices and workflows in a way that goes further than white papers. https://github.com/jku/repository-playground

Confidential Computing and Privacy-Enhancing Technologies - The Landscape - Mike Bursell, Profian
“If the cloud is just somebody else’s computer, then how can I trust my sensitive apps and data to it?” This question – which inhibits adoption of public cloud computing for many organizations in security-sensitive or highly regulated industries – finally has some answers, provided by a variety of technologies. This session covers the (TLA-laden) landscape of key technologies, from FHE (Fully Homomorphic Technologies) to TEEs (Trusted Execution Environments, the basis for Confidential Computing), and beyond. We will compare the various approaches, the underlying technologies, and the properties that they can offer to organizations working out how to manage the risks associated with deploying to the cloud, the Edge and beyond. We will also look at why open source is playing such an important role in some of the projects embracing these technologies, including a demo of a sensitive application using the Enarx project, an open source project which is part of the Confidential Computing Consortium (Linux Foundation). This talk does not require deep technical knowledge, though it will lead pointers. Nor will it try to paint any technology as “the answer”, but will provide some guidelines about which approaches may be best suited to your organization’s environment and requirements.

Codes of Conduct in Action - Evolving Best Practices for Incident Response - Joanna Lee, Gesmer Updegrove LLP
Codes of Conduct are essential to protecting the health and safety of open source communities. Code of Conduct (CoC) incident response is often replete with challenges, including conflict-ridden situations, messy facts, and heated emotions. When public in nature, CoC incidents can become politically divisive within a community, and certain types of incidents can expose project leadership and the hosting foundation (if there is one) to legal liability and risk. This talk will give an overview of best practices for resolving Code of Conduct incidents and navigating the many challenges of enforcement and incident resolution, including: *How to create a safe space for reporting *What fairness and due process look throughout the CoC incident response process *Tips for managing legal and community relations risks *Use of meditation as a tool for resolving conflict *How to perform thorough investigation when an investigation is needed *Navigating conflicts of interest *Balancing transparency with protecting reporters’ privacy

Bootloaders 101: How Do Embedded Processors Start? - Bryan Brattlof, Texas Instruments
When you first flip the switch or push the button, after the first electrons start flowing and crystals start vibrating, before any Linux dmesg lines appear on any screen, there is a fundamental chicken and egg question we must answer before the CPUs in our Beaglebone or Raspberry Pi can start executing our code. How do embedded processors find and run the code they need to begin executing code? Join Bryan as he goes through each stage of the bootup process for an AM62 and the constraints we must work around when we first start configuring the clocks, starting the power controllers, initializing DDR, loading the firmware, and everything else we need before we can start the Linux kernel and securely wakeup our embedded system. At the end of this session you will be familiar with the role of each bootloader and each step of how Texas Instruments’ AM62 family of SoCs loads, verifies, and uses each bootloader stage as the CPUs work their way to the Linux prompt and running your embedded applications.

What’s in a Name? Vulnerabilities, SBOMs, and the Challenge of Software Identity - Justin Murphy, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
As we start to pay more attention to software supply chains (thank you, SBOM!), an old problem has resurfaced with a vengeance: how do we identify a particular piece of software? The software world - and the US government - has a goal for automation and easy mapping from a software dependency list to lists of known badness (vulnerabilities, potential malicious back doors, less optimal development practices, etc.). However, this requires a common namespace and shared identifiers for software. The current challenge is not that lack of naming standards, it is that we have several, and there are large gaps between them. This talk will describe the challenges presented regarding software identifiers as we try to secure the software supply chain. We’ll review existing solutions (CPE! PURL! Device identifiers! Hashes!), potential risks, and lay out a collaborative patch to addressing this over time and how the open source community can help and get involved.

Debugging Embedded Linux - Marta Rybczynska, Syslinbit
The sad truth is that when developing an application, we spend most of the time debugging. The case of embedded Linux is even more complicated than traditional systems, because we need to take into account the hardware interactions. In this session, Marta is going to do a gentle introduction to embedded Linux debugging. It will start with tips on approach and planning, then move to tools. Getting printfs and similar reliably from different software layers will be the first topic (including the kernel, userspace, using physical serial ports and more). Then Marta will introduce embedded debuggers, with different GDB use-cases. Finally, she will cover most popular tools like strace, perf, Wireshark and share secrets of kernel special files.

Trusted-SBOM: On the Critical Importance of Verifying SBOMs - Haoxiang Zhang, Huawei & Ahmed E. Hassan, Queen's University
SBOMs are soon to become a defacto standard for communicating the content of a piece of software. Knowledge about such content is essential for many critical activities (e.g., vulnerability management and license compliance) for securing and ensuring the integrity of software. Today there are many open source and industrial initiatives/tools that focus on producing such SBOMs. However, simply producing an SBOM is not sufficient, instead we must ensure that such SBOMs are trustworthy. In particular, we must ensure that such SBOMs are accurate (not including incorrect dependencies) and comprehensive (not missing any actually-present dependencies). In this talk we advocate the critical importance of quantifying the trustworthiness of a produced SBOM. We provide examples of incorrect SBOMs, then present our efforts and toolsets to verify SBOM. In addition, we will discuss best practices to ensure the trustworthiness and traceability of the actual process that is used to produce the SBOM in turn ensuring that errors can be traced in a systematic manner and providing proof of attestation and due diligence through the whole SBOM generation process. We aim to trigger a community wide discussion on this important and critical topic while sharing our current efforts on this topic.

Why We Need Codes of Conduct -- and Why They're Not Enough - Aeva Black, Microsoft
Standard business approaches to interpersonal risk management (such as “just let HR handle it” and “don’t do anything that could make us liable”) do not translate effectively to open source community management, where liability extends outside organizational authority and interpersonal dynamics are fundamentally different. Conversely, ignoring community health leads to poor -- sometimes catastrophic -- outcomes for technical projects, and ultimately an increase in business risk in your software supply chain. In this talk, Aeva will examine difficult topics related to Code of Conduct enforcement in large and diverse contributor communities. They will discuss what it means to shape a community through a values-driven approach to leadership, and provide concrete suggestions for open source projects -- and their corporate sponsors -- which can improve community health and diversity. These suggestions will be based on real examples, though all identifying details will be anonymized to maintain the confidentiality of those involved.

Secure Python Packaging & Release Using Continuous Deployment - Martin Vrachev VMware & Jussi Kukkonen, Google
Python open source projects package release processes are often ad hoc and not particularly secure: As an example, a compromise of a maintainer's account on PyPI typically means the attacker can upload as much malware as they want. After a release, it's also impossible to verify if the release content is correct or if it matches a specific source release. This tutorial will demonstrate how to use common Continuous Deployment systems (like GitHub and Gitlab) to release a Python project securely and easily. Some aspects that will be covered: - What are the security improvements we are aiming for? - What do we need to know about GitHub/Gitlab security features? - Build reproducibility – how and why? - How to setup automated deployment to PyPI using GitHub/Gitlab? - Signing and verifying releases using Sigstore.

Building and Supporting Open Source Communities Through Metrics - Georg Link & Emilio Galeano Gryciuk, Bitergia
Each community is different and therefore requires different metrics for data-driven decisions about building and supporting it. The CHAOSS Project was established to help empower open source communities through metrics. We have had many conversations with contributors and realized that everyone pays attention to different aspects of their communities. This talk will share what we have learned in the CHAOSS Project about having metrics for open source communities. Once the right metrics have been decided on, both technical and organizational challenges need to be overcome, which we discuss how to do. Finally, this talk will describe real-world examples of how metrics have been used to help build and support open source communities.

Automating Cloud-native Spark Jobs with Argo Workflows - Caelan Urquhart & Darko Janjić, Pipekit
Companies with large computational workloads often use Apache Spark combined with numerous Python packages such as PySpark, NumPy, MLlib, XGBoost, and more. Unfortunately, as teams add the number of jobs running on a single Spark cluster managing dependencies becomes a nightmare. Kubernetes makes it easy to use numerous packages for large data jobs in distributed environments, and Argo Workflows is the best way to run pipelines on Kubernetes. This talk demonstrates how to orchestrate common Spark jobs with Argo Workflows, from the architecture to resource and workflow definitions. We'll show how to provision Spark and Argo Workflows on Kubernetes to process large data jobs. We'll also show how Argo Workflows and Kubernetes provide distinct scaling and stability advantages for Spark users by running some example jobs. We hope that listeners of this talk will learn the pros and cons of orchestrating their Spark job on Kubernetes with Argo Workflows, instead of traditional local or cloud environments.

Drive Your Business With Open Source Sponsorship - Wolfgang Gehring, Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation
In 2014, the Heartbleed Bug sent shockwaves across the internet and lead to news headlines like: “The Internet Is Being Protected By Two Guys Named Steve”. Although this headline is somewhat humorous, it revealed a crucial vulnerability of FOSS altogether: Oftentimes, important Open Source Software is maintained by a few engaged, but tired and overworked, underpaid individuals. Recent examples include the Log4Shell vulnerability whose consequences aren’t even fully clear yet.

There are a few ways to remedy this situation: By active participation through community engagement, high-quality contributions, becoming a maintainer, or through membership in Open Source foundations. Another great option is through financial sponsorship – which goes beyond just money, but also gives the software we depend on the recognition their creators deserve. Let’s explore why sponsoring is a great way to drive FOSS forward altogether, how it can be done in practice, and what our experience with Open Source sponsorship is at Mercedes-Benz. In particular, we’ll also discuss how to overcome challenges in implementing such a sponsorship program at corporate level.

To RTOS, or not RTOS: That is the Question - Frédéric Desbiens, Eclipse Foundation
Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) have been a fixture of embedded computing for a long time and, more recently, IoT. Popular open-source options such as FreeRTOS and Zephyr support a wide range of hardware and provide features such as storage and networking. However, many open source projects aim to deliver many of the same features in a "bare metal" approach. In other words: they deliver frameworks that enable your applications to run directly on the hardware. Given this, which approach is right for your project? In this presentation, Frédéric Desbiens will explain the pros and cons of RTOSes and the bare metal approach. You will learn about the architecture and feature set of FreeRTOS and Zephyr in the process. You will also discover contrasting os-less frameworks such as Arduino, Espressif IDF, and Drogue IoT, which uses the Rust programming language.

BlindAI, an Open-source Solution for Privacy-friendly AI Deployment - Daniel Huynh, Mithril Security
Confidential Computing is a recent technology that enables end-to-end encryption when analyzing sensitive data. As such, data owners can share their data to AI companies, for instance to train or consume an AI model, without ever risking their data being stolen, leaked or used for any other purpose, as data remains protected even when shared to third parties. That is why we have launched BlindAI, an Open-source project, aiming to democratize privacy-friendly AI. We leverage Confidential Computing to provide end-to-end protection guarantees, even when sending data to be analyzed by third parties. Our solution currently supports confidential deployment of ONNX models. This workshop aims to introduce the high level principles of Confidential Computing. We will show how BlindAI can be used to deploy privacy friendly AI models, including Transformers for confidential document analysis, and ResNets for medical imaging. The workshop will be organized in the following manner: - Presentation of the current challenges - Introduction to Confidential Computing - Demonstration of Confidential AI deployment with BlindAI

Composing the Ultimate SBOM - Ivana Atanasova & Velichka Atanasova, VMware
The potential of SBOMs to track vulnerabilities is widely recognized. Open source tools capable of creating SBOMs exist in abundance. However, many of these tools are inventorying software post-build, which relies on heuristics and can result in missing build and dependency metadata which limits the compliance and security benefits of an SBOM. Software is modular in nature - each component has its lifecycle and our SBOM creation and management should represent the modular nature of the whole. What if instead of relying on post-build tools we utilized a sum-of-parts approach to create component level Micro-SBOMs that could be stitched together to create one high-level SBOM? We refer to the process of taking one or more Micro-SBOMs describing some component of the same top level software and transforming them into a single SBOM as "composing". Instead of asking SBOM consumers to open hundreds of fragmented Micro-SBOMs, we’re working on a tool that can do the composing for us. In this talk we will share details on why post-build scanning isn’t sufficient for producing accurate SBOM, discuss operationalisation of SBOMs and motivate the need for more modular SBOM composition. We will demo our proof-of-concept SPDX SBOM composition tool and invite your feedback and collaboration.

Evaluation of OSS Options to Build Container Images - Matthias Haeussler, Novatec
The broad adoption of container technology mostly driven by the rise of Docker and Kubernetes has changed the skill expectation towards developers. It is not only required any more to be knowledgeable about the programming language, framework and respective build process. The steps of how to "containerize" the workload and deploy it also has become an expected standard. The ecosystem provides a wide range of options to approach container build. Especially for people getting started this can be challenging. The talk will give deeper insights by comparing various Dockerfile options to Cloud-Native Buildpacks (buildpacks.io/paketo.io), Google’s JIB and Source2Image under the evaluation criteria of build time, build size, standardisation, robustness and security. The implementation examples are polyglot. The intended take-away of the session is a better overview of Open Source technologies for container building options along with understanding of requirements, advantages and drawbacks. Matthias has been advocating in this space for several years and has given several conference about this topic. The contents are always up to the latest state. This session can be given as talk or tutorial. It has also been submitted as talk.

Funding OSS: A Multi-layered Approach - Rebecca Rumbul & Paul Lenz, Rust Foundation
How can we best fund the development, maintenance, sustainability and growth of OSS ecosystems? This is a difficult question to which there are many opinions and no ‘right’ answers. Often it is OSS foundations that find themselves responsible for raising funds to support both their communities and their infrastructure, with the difficult task of deciding how to prioritise and distribute limited financial resources. This session will discuss the competing priorities in funding OSS, and the issues with the current established norms for funding OSS work, such as via individual sponsorship or through a patchwork of small and disconnected awards. Rebecca and Paul will reflect on their own experiences of establishing the Rust Foundation’s package of financial and infrastructure support. The session will discuss how they developed a more targeted approach to funding using a grants-based and impact-focused system, and will reflect on the benefits and risks associated with this. The session will also examine how gaps emerge in OSS ecosystems and how to plug these with an outcome-oriented focus. The session will provide practical actions, processes and ideas useful to anyone with an interest in how OSS can be effectively and sustainably funded.

Making Fuzzing Part of Your Software Development Lifecycle - Jonathan Metzman, Google
Fuzzing is a testing technique that uses randomized inputs to find bugs in software. Fuzzing is the most successful automated vulnetability/bug-finding technique and has recently experienced an enormous growth in popularity. In this talk we will share our experience helping thousands of developers incorporate fuzzing into their software development lifecycle. We will walk though tools and techniques used to secure hundreds of open source projects, including: - libFuzzer and AFL++: Coverage-guided fuzzers that can be used for fuzzing code where source is available and binaries where the source code is not available. - ClusterFuzz and ClusterFuzzLite: Continuous Integration infrastructure that runs your fuzzers to catch bugs in your software before they affect users. - OSS-Fuzz: free service that fuzzes critical open source projects such as Curl and OpenSSL. OSS-Fuzz has found 40,000 bugs (9,000 security) in more than 500 open source projects. - Syzkaller and Syzbot: Kernel fuzzing tool and infrastructure providing much of the same functionality described above for the Linux kernel. Viewers of this talk will walk away with the knowledge to start improving the security of their applications and dependencies with this essential testing technique.

Distributed Tracing Integration with OpenTelemetry and Knative - Daniel Oh, Red Hat
Scaling application platforms give site reliability engineers a significant burden on collecting telemetry data from a single cluster to multiple clouds. You’re probably handy to observe metrics with comprehensive dashboards by 3rd party application performance monitoring tools in the traditional environments. However, the application topologies are getting more complex due to distributing cloud-native microservices. Infrastructures have also been varying from Linux containers to IoT edge devices, public cloud, and Kubernetes. This is a new challenge for dev and ops to trace application chains. This talk guides you through the distributed tracing integration with OpenTelemetry for serverless functions. OpenTelemetry allows you to collect telemetry data such as metrics, logs, and traces then enables you to analyze applications’ performance and behavior. I’ll also showcase a live demo of how to trace metrics of reactive RESTful APIs with step by step instructions below: - Collect local telemetry data by OpenTelemtry collector and Quarkus Dev mode - Visualize the telemetry data through the Jaeger console locally - Deploy the reactive serverless functions to verify telemetry data using OpenTelemetry and Jaeger operators

Interactive Debugging of Dockerfile With Buildg - Kohei Tokunaga, NTT Corporation
Debugging Dockerfile is hard. This is even more true of large and highly multi-staged builds. You can debug it by modifying and re-running the Dockerfile but it's time-consuming and your favourite tools might be unavailable on the base image. This makes debugging a 5 min problem take hours. In this talk, Kohei will introduce an interactive debugger for Dockerfile, "buildg". buildg is implemented based on BuildKit (the core of "docker build") and makes debugging Dockerfile easier by providing gdb-inspired interactive UI/UX with breakpoints, source-level inspection and interactive shell on an arbitrary Dockerfile instruction. The talk will also share the status of integration of buildg with tools in the community.

Board Farms for Everyone: Making Hardware Debugging Easier and Sharing Boards Across the Globe! - Christopher Obbard, Collabora Ltd
Running out of desk space for your debug devices? Do you hate wasting time trying to figure out which serial port your board is hanging off? How about resetting the power of your board - do you have to lean over lots of other stuff to re-plug the power cable? Maybe you have a huge collection of embedded devices which keep growing or perhaps you have struggled because the board you want to use is with a colleague across the globe and you cannot wait for it to be shipped? These issues were all solved when Chris created a board farm at a minimal hardware cost using LabGrid. This beginner-level presentation will introduce you to a device-agnostic way to share boards across the globe and will help make your development simpler. Expect a live demo of how simple it is to remotely power-on a board, flash an image, access the console and even help verify peripherals, all without leaving your console! Practical tips of the hardware used, the Ansible recipes used to setup the software stack, connecting new boards and integration of boards in the farm to image-building CI pipelines in GitLab and GitHub will also be shown.

What Does a CPU Do Before Going to Work (in an Embedded System)? - Josef Holzmayr, Mender.io
The boot process is probably the most overrated and at the same time neglected stage of running a computer. Why is that? Once one starts to think about it, it becomes obvious. A computer that is booting does not yet do anything perceived as valuable. The user who just turned it on wants to start using it as quickly as possible, and not be kept waiting. So the duration of the boot process as a whole often gets high attention. Beyond that, almost nobody cares about what happens as long as the boot finishes successfully. So for those of us who wish to understand the booting process, it is often complicated to see the actual concepts and reasons behind them. In this presentation we will look at common boot strategies found on the ARM and RISC-V instruction set architectures, and examine why and how they relate to specific hardware configurations. The various concepts such as a secondary program loader, boot source orders and suitable storage technologies will be discussed and put into context, to serve as the groundwork for a proper understanding of the topic. At all stages, we will focus on providing a beginner-friendly representation, instead of diving into advanced specifics such as boot time reduction.

What's Missing in Embedded Build Systems - Arnout Vandecappelle, Essensium/Mind
Embedded build systems (buildroot, openembedded AKA yocto) have everything that is needed to compose the OS on which the embedded application will run. However, to develop a product, there are a number of things that the developer will still need to take care of (and find out how to do in that specific build system), even though the solutions for them are pretty generic. After giving a brief overview of the current state of buildroot and openembedded, this talk will discuss the missing links: persistence and factory reset, per-device provisioning, updates, and verified boot. Tools exist for all of those, and buildroot and openembedded provide those tools, but they don't come out of the box.

Elevating the Role of Open Technology in Sustainability - Building the Metrics of Success - Amanda Brock, OpenUK
Open Technology - open source software, open hardware and open data - provides a critical enabler to a sustainable future. It is no longer enough to watch from the sidelines, but time to elevate the role of Open Technology in Sustainability. As a first mover in the open source community's engagement with Open Technology for Sustainability, OpenUK hosted a full day event at COP26 in November, 2021. Although some COP26 contributors have been criticised for leaving the story behind in Glasgow. OpenUK is actively engaged via its Chief Sustainability Officer and Sustainability Advisory Board, to implement a Sustainability Strategy. This not only means that everything OpenUK does is sustainable by design, but also ensures that it drives the global Sustainability Strategy forward with Open Technology. Economic measures need refined and improved to look at the value generated and investment made as opposed to the Total Cost of ownership, but the critical path must measure the non-economic societal value provided by Open Technology, aligning to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. What is an acceptable approach to measuring this? OpenUK will deliver v1.0 f its "Societal Value Metrics" for Open Technology - a means to measure the non economic values it generates.

Scaling KVM and Its Community - Sean Christopherson, Google
KVM has grown substantially over the last few years, in more ways than one. The number of commits to x86/kvm nearly doubled year-over-year from 2019 to 2020, and rose again in 2021. KVM gained a RISC-V ported in 2021, and KVM on arm64 will be deployed on Android and multiple cloud providers in the not-too-distant-future. KVM's size and complexity has also grown to support new use cases and new hardware features. And KVM's worldwide footprint has undoubtedly grown along with cloud computing in general. Sean will examine several of the challenges KVM faces, and how KVM and its community can address those challenges to scale up the number of KVM contributors and end users, as well as the number of technologies and use cases KVM supports.

Bringing ML Workflows to Heterogeneous Cloud Native Machine Learning Platforms by Using Intermediate Representation - Tommy Li & Animesh Singh, IBM
In Kubeflow Pipelines v1, the pipeline spec describing ML flow is platform-dependent, which makes no chance to deploy your ML pipelines on other pipeline frameworks. To lower the barrier, Intermediate Representation(IR) is available in kfp v2. It's a generic component/step-oriented specification that fits container orchestration frameworks. More importantly, a new pipeline orchestration engine is created on the backend to support automatic lineage tracking and components that consume or produce metadata. In light of these new features, it gets a foot into ML pipeline portability. You can port the necessary components to run your pipelines on the desired platforms. Currently, IR is in alpha version and used by Kubeflow Pipelines, and Google Vertex AI. Kubeflow Pipelines with Tekton will join the list soon. In this talk, we walk through the new IR spec, a list of components that constitute the new pipeline orchestration engine, and how we adapt the new features in another pipeline framework.

Mind Mapping Open Source Program Offices - Ana Jiménez Santamaría, TODO Group & Thomas Steenbergen, EPAM
Open Source Program Offices and similar open source focused teams serve many organizations to provide strategy and alignment for an organization's open source efforts. Managing open source in an organization is a broad and complex topic requiring a wide scope of skills, responsibilities, team sizes, and ways of working - making it hard to get complete overview that can be shared with the wider organization or help you with managing your OSPO. The OSPO Mind Map was created by the open source community for the community to map the Open Source Program Office's key areas (responsibilities, roles, behavior, and team size) and divide them into more easily accessible parts in just one page. During this presentation, Ana and Thomas will share with the audience how this mind map is structured and how Open Source Program Office professionals can make use of the OSPO Mind Map to help implement an OSPO strategy, structure their activities and better communicate the OSPO initiative within their organization. The audience will learn the story behind the OSPO Mind Map project, a practical implementation of the mind map for their OSPO as well as ways they can contribute to the project.

Do You Know What's in the Software You Run? Introducing GitBOM - Nell Shamrell-Harrington, Microsoft
Modern software is built with hundreds if not thousands of dependencies and transitive dependencies. Knowing not only what these dependencies are but exactly what parts of the dependencies are used in your software is a daunting task. Should a security vulnerability be found in particular file of a particular version of a dependency, how do you know whether your software uses that part? Enter GitBOM. GitBOM is an Open Source, minimialist scheme for build tools to 1) Build a compact artifact tree, tracking every source code file (including from dependencies) incorporated into each built artifact and 2) Embed a unique, content-addressable reference for that artifact tree into the artifact at build time. GitBOM is designed to construct verifiable artifact trees across languages, environments, and packaging formats with zero developer effort. While GitBOM is not itself an SBOM, it is compatible with and augments SBOMs. Come to this talk not only to learn about GitBOM (and how you can become involved!) but also to see how this build scheme can be implemented across languages and ecosystems. You will leave understanding how GitBOM can improve the security of your whole software supply chain.

Sponsored Session: Dependencies: Do's and Don'ts - Guy Bar Gil & Rhys Arkins, Mend
In today’s software ecosystem, the inclusion of dependencies in applications is practically a given. Including dependencies has clear benefits in terms of team velocity and business value, but it's also packaged (pun intended) with risks - most notably security-related ones. It is often suggested that "shifting left" is the best method to combat security risks such as vulnerabilities in dependencies, but this only catches vulnerabilities that have already been introduced. Implementing measures and best practices to prevent them from entering your application in the first place would be a more holistic approach. It is true that not all vulnerabilities can be prevented, but the latest research shows that the vast majority of publicly disclosed vulnerabilities can be. In this presentation, you’ll learn about best practices for managing your dependencies and how to reap their benefits in your applications, without compromising on security or velocity.

Is OpenStack Still Needed in 2022? - Thierry Carrez, Open Infrastructure Foundation
Over the past 10 years, OpenStack has become the de-facto standard for providing cloud infrastructure using open source solutions. But in the past 5 years, the ecosystem focus has shifted higher in the stack onto cloud-native solutions, which run on top of an existing cloud infrastructure. Does that mean that open source cloud infrastructure solutions, like OpenStack, are no longer relevant? In this talk, Thierry Carrez, the General Manager for the Open infrastructure Foundation, the non-profit hosting the OpenStack project, will explore this question. After examining the motivation and history of OpenStack over the past decade, we will explore what makes OpenStack relevant in the next decade, with a special attention to the European context. While it is not for everyone, new use cases like Digital Sovereignty or Edge computing are driving renewed adoption of OpenStack, especially in combination with Kubernetes (what is called the Linux OpenStack Kubernetes Infrastructure, or LOKI).

Open Source: The Next Generation - Mike Swift, Major League Hacking
More than 50% of developers want to contribute to Open Source but haven't yet. Most of them aren't confident in their abilities or don't know where to get started. With the demand for high quality Open Source software rapidly outpacing maintainer capacity, creating better onramps into the community is an imperative for all of us. While #GoodFirstIssues and introductory events are a start, they aren't enough if we want to train a new generation of truly Great Open Source Citizens. Instead we should be asking ourselves how to make Open Source a default part of the global software engineering curriculum. How do we ensure that every new developer coming online has the experience and confidence necessary to contribute to Open Source successfully on day one? During this talk, Swift will share insights from running the largest community of early career developers in the world and lessons learned from using Open Source to reimagine the future of tech internships to answer that question. You'll walk away with new ideas about how you can help educate, mentor, and inspire our next generation of Great Open Source citizens too.

Back to Basics, Getting Traffic Into your Kubernetes Cluster - Nicolas Fränkel, api7.ai
However you're using your Kubernetes cluster, you'll sooner or later need to direct traffic into it. At this point, you're spoiled with choice. Kubernetes provides no less than three different objects: NodePort, Ingress, and LoadBalancer. Of course, each of them comes with its limitations. For example, LoadBalancer requires a dedicated implementation provided by Cloud Platforms but not with most local distributions. Moreover, Kubernetes is introducing a new Gateway API, adding one more way to direct traffic to the cluster. In this talk, I'd like to offer an overview of all four options, with their pros and cons, and a more in-depth explanation of the new Gateway API.

Basics of I2C on Linux - Luca Ceresoli, Bootlin
This talk is an introduction to using I²C on embedded Linux devices. I²C (or I2C) is a simple but flexible electronic bus to allow low-speed communication between the CPU and all sorts of chips: PMICs, ADC/DACs, GPIO expanders, video sensors, audio codecs, EEPROMS, RTCs and many more. It is so popular that knowing it is a must for any embedded system engineer. Luca will first give an introduction to what I2C is at the electrical level. He will then describe how I2C is implemented in the Linux kernel driver model and how that appears in sysfs, how to describe I2C devices using device tree and how to write a driver for an I2C device. Finally he will present the tools to communicate with the chips from userspace and share some debugging techniques, including inspection of the physical bus and software-level debugging.

Challenges of Deploying eBPF-based Tracing in Embedded Systems, and Alternatives in Embedded Platforms Libtracefs/libtraceevent - Bean Huo, Micron
eBPF is a very powerful tracking infrastructure that is widely used in network systems and the cloud. At Micron EBU (Embedded Business Unit), we first started with eBPF for Linux system traces and then found it difficult to deploy in all embedded worlds, especially when we faced customers with older Linux kernels and wanted to Use eBPF for issue tracking/resolving, eBPF cannot be used. This is not just a compilation issue, but also because of the eBPF dependencies in the current existing system. After a long period of exploration and comparison, we decided to use a libtracefs/libtraceevent-based approach, which will give us more confidence to deploy our tracing tools in customer systems. In this talk, I will present a comparison between the two approaches: eBPF and libtracefs/libtraceevnt, including dependencies and kernel requirements. Then I'll show a libtracefs/libtraceevent-based example of how to use libtracefs/libtraceevent as a second alternative tracing method for the embedded world.

Using OpenEmbedded Inside Containers? How and Why? - Drew Moseley, Toradex
Using containers in Embedded Linux devices is becoming more of a reality every day; notably using Docker. These devices are increasingly powerful and the benefits provided by containers are attractive to designers. The ability to easily install, update and replace application payloads makes for a powerful design used in a variety of industries. OpenEmbedded is also widely used for Embedded Linux devices and provides designers complete control over the contents of the system. It provides benefits that are difficult to achieve with traditional containers. These include image size, build reproducibility and license management. In this talk, we will look into generating container payloads using OpenEmbedded rather than the usual route of Dockerfiles and canned images available on repositories such as Docker Hub. We will investigate building images for both bare-metal and container-based execution. We will try to determine how difficult this is to do for a real application and compare it to a similar application built with the traditional Docker approach. To wrap up, we will compare both approaches, specifically in terms of image size, reproducibility, and license management/reporting. We will also discuss why you would want to do this and some use cases where it makes sense.

A Reference Architecture for Trust over the Internet with Universal Interoperability - Wenjing Chu, Futurewei Technologies Inc
Trust is what is missing in today's Internet or the Web. That is known if you have ever thought about Web3, DeFi, Metaverse, or digital identity, or the ills of social media platforms... The challenge is how to establish a trust spanning layer over the Internet and still maintain its universal interoperability. In this talk, I report the ongoing work of the Technology Architecture Task Force in the Trust over IP Foundation where I am one of the chief contributors. I will cover the Reference Architecture and, by examining the Design Principles inspired by the original Internet architecture and human-centric trust relationships, I will present the reasons for a hourglass protocol stack design for the purpose of universal interoperability. Prominent open source implementations & community specs, e.g. DIDcommv2, KERI, DWP (tbdex), libp2p, Indy/Aries, will be presented as case studies to demonstrate path for interoperability based on the Reference Architecture. We can have the cake and eat it too.

Protected KVM on Arm64: A Technical Deep Dive - Quentin Perret, Google
Protected KVM (a.k.a. pKVM) is an extension of KVM/arm64 providing a Confidential Computing solution for Arm v8.0+ CPUs. pKVM targets SoCs that don't feature Confidential Computing hardware extensions, which makes it applicable to a wide spectrum of domain-spaces, including mobile (Android). pKVM extends the existing KVM/arm64 nVHE hypervisor with the ability to manage the CPU's stage-2 MMU, hence allowing the enforcement of access-control restrictions on host accesses to guest memory. In this talk, we will do a technical deep dive on pKVM, describe its architecture and implementation [1], and discuss opportunities for sharing core infrastructure (e.g. memory management) with other Confidential Computing solutions such as Intel TDX, AMD SEV or Arm CC-A.

How to Report Your Linux Kernel Bug - Thorsten Leemhuis, Freelancer
Bad bug reports are the first to be ignored by stressed kernel developers. This talk will teach you how to dramatically reduce this risk, as it will outline how to prepare and submit a decent bug report to the Linux developers; this will include describing a few common errors a lot of people make when reporting issues with the kernel. You'll also learn which Linux bugs are unlikely to be addressed, as reporting such issues might be a waste of your time. You’ll learn about the other side of the spectrum, too: which kind of bugs kernel developers have to fix quickly, as they otherwise risk getting into trouble with Linus Torvalds himself.

Avoiding Pain When Operating in the Cloud - Neil Armitage, Amido
Operating in the cloud can appear to be easy and cheap but turn out to be hard and expensive to the unwary. The cloud can open up apparently unlimited computing resources and tools with the simple swipe of a credit card but on the flip side it can lead to large bills and over engineered solutions. During this talk Neil will hopefully make you aware of some of the pitfalls which he has either made or seen others do over the last 10 years of using public cloud solutions. Together we will discuss what happened and ways of hopefully avoiding the same mistakes. Topics will include how to secure your account and other security gotchas , looking at cost management and operational tips and tricks.

Privacy-preserving Approaches to Transparency Logs - Hayden Blauzvern, Google
Append-only transparency logs have become more prominent in infrastructure over the last few years. Certificate authorities include issued certificates in transparency logs for public auditability. Sigstore, a standard for signing and verifying digital artifacts, uses a transparency log to record signing events. Blockchains are built on top of immutable logs. Append-only logs can raise interesting questions, particularly around a right to erasure. Log entries cannot be mutated or removed without impacting the integrity of the log. When an entry in a log contains personally identifiable information and a user requests that information be removed, how can a log operator handle this request? In this talk, we will discuss the technical details of append-only logs and issues around persisting PII in a transparency log, and compare and contrast techniques to provide immutable, auditable logs while preserving users' rights.

The Challenges and Solutions of Open Edge Infrastructures - Ildiko Vancsa, Open Infrastructure Foundation
During the past decade cloud computing outgrew the walls of traditional large data centers and started to take over the edge. This technology evolution opened up endless opportunities to create new applications along with better utilizing hardware resources that are closer to the end users. These new opportunities also brought in new challenges, such as complexity, and put well-known ones, like interoperability, back into the spotlight. End-to-end edge infrastructures often grow to a massive scale in a geographically distributed fashion, which results in innovative, but complex solutions that requires high level of automation to handle. Along with the high demands in the software space, hardware solutions are also becoming more diverse that the software layer has to seamlessly support from the core out to the edge. This talk will use current and upcoming use cases to describe the challenges of building and operating infrastructure from core to edge. It will also introduce an open source edge cloud solution, StarlingX, that is already running in production around the globe. The presentation will show how the project is addressing the needs of geographically distributed systems on a large scale.

Transformative Mediation is a powerful tool that can used by Code of Conduct Committees, project leaders, and community members to resolve conflict and respond to Code of Conduct incidents. Transformative Mediation (TM) is a specific approach to mediation that addresses conflict at its core. Rather than imposing a resolution on the parties, TM facilitates understanding and supports and empowers the individuals involved in their own efforts to resolve conflict and improve their interactions. In this presentation, we’ll discuss how TM differs from other types of mediation and why it’s better-suited for resolving conflict in open source communities than more traditional forms of mediation.

Sponsored Session: Integrating Software Stacks with BuildStream 2.0 and the Remote Execution API - Sam Thursfield, Codethink
Do you suffer from any of the following -- unrepeatable builds? A single build server that has to do everything? An in-house caching solution that nobody wants to maintain?

BuildStream is a open source tool for building software stacks with a focus on build correctness and determinism.

The Remote Execution API is a set of standards for linking build tools (BuildStream, Bazel, and more) with infrastructure (caches, build farms, monitoring).

This talk will introduce both and give examples of how they are being used in big projects to achieve safe, repeatable builds.

Tales from the Crypt: Implementing Secure Boot and Disk Encryption on Tegra Platforms - Tim Orling, Konsulko Group
“Secure boot” is not one size fits all, but rather there are different implementations on different platforms. For Tegra platforms, secure boot involves a one-time only burning of keys into the on-device fuses. We’ll share the lessons learned from turning a board into a lovely paperweight as well as the reliable approach we used to confidently secure boot into the vendor’s Ubuntu based OS before creating our own Yocto Project built OS. For disk encryption with LUKS and dm-crypt, we extended our approach of testing the vendor’s OS before moving on to creating our own. The added complexity of unique passphrases derived from disk UUIDs and per-device HW-derived keys was an interesting challenge. We attempted to stay as close to the vendor's tools (luks-srv and luks-srv-app) and design as we could, to hopefully future proof the implementation for newer releases of Linux for Tegra. Extending to A/B flashing for OTA updates (e.g. rauc or mender) added additional challenges, especially when trying to generalize the approach for the meta-tegra community. The end solution must address the bootloader, initramfs, kernel command line, /etc/crypttab, /etc/fstab and more. Add in the complexity of the partition table layout and flashing tools for Tegra platforms and you are in for a wild ride.

EUs Efforts to Secure Open Source Software - Ciara Carey, Cloudsmith
OSS is incredibly positive - without projects like Docker, Kubernetes, Debian, NGINX, Apache, or others, technological innovation would be painfully slow. Its innovation, ease of use, and zero cost meant that nearly every piece of software contains OSS. OSS is everywhere, including data centres, hospitals, e-commerce, phone networks, mobile devices, and power stations. Last year, the Whitehouse issued an Executive Order after the fallout of SolarWinds. This kickstarted the use of SBOMs, a flurry of new projects to protect the supply chain, and the rise of OpenSSF. - How has the EU responded to Critical Threats in OSS? - Are the threats to the EU different from the USA? - The EU is not 1 country but is made up of 27 countries- how does this affect change? - Let's look at Ireland as an example country in EU and how it is affected by threats to the OSS supply chain and how the EU helps.

VEXing Open Source Security: Vulnerability Data for Everything - Andrew Martin, ControlPlane & Andres Vega
As CVEs proliferate and vulnerability scanners light up our open source projects, security teams are under increasing pressure that is pushed back onto maintainers, and we deserve better. And as we manage CVEs in our organisations is the quality of the data that we receive sufficient to manage the risk we are faced with every day? The machine-readable Vulnerability Exchange Format data standard may offer us a solution: defining the exploitability of vulnerabilities in the software and dependencies that we ship every day. Can we solve the high volume of false positives, halted releases, and late night? VEX may have the answer.
In this talk we:
- Question the efficacy of current vulnerability management approaches
- Compare the options available for enterprise vulnerability assessment
- Propose a solution to the global CVE deluge
- Suggest a contextual analysis framework for open source software security

Open Source Ops Fast Track with Operate First - Marcel Hild & Oindrilla Chatterjee, Red Hat
Open source has become the defining way of developing software. But what’s next after releasing the code? Building an infrastructure for a project is hard. What CI/CD pipelines should I use, how to deploy - can I integrate with other services, where are my users? The Operate First community cloud is an environment for developing and operating Cloud Native software and a community of developers, DevOps, and SREs to learn from each other. Built on git-ops and open-source principles with open deployments and operational knowledge, the community provides a solid foundation for your project, so that you can focus on your solution. When the Open Source Climate initiative started out building an open data science platform that aggregates open climate data sets, they required an environment that supports complex data ingestion, processing, and quality management. You will learn how the team took advantage of the Operate First community-supported infrastructure, resolving foundational problems quickly and freeing time to work on the climate and data science problems. We’ll take you on a ride through cloud operations, by re-visiting the journey of the OS Climate community, explaining how your project or community can also become part of a fully open source community cloud.

Stop Reinventing the Wheel! Community Management in 3 Steps - Karsten G Wade, Red Hat
Whether you are leading a project, an engineering team, or any group of humans looking to be successful working within Open Source projects, you are facing the need to teach and reteach (and reteach…) the same information and practices. People need to know what to do, how to do it, and where to do it, while you hope you get them to understand a smattering of why it all matters in the short time you have their attention. This session follows 3 steps to take an existing, Open Source guidebook filled with detailed and specific practices, and turns it into a manual to guide your group or organization in creating, building, and maintaining successful Open Source projects. Written by a diverse group of more than a dozen Open Source expert practitioners, the guide extrapolates and distills knowledge of not just what to do and how to do it, but also why to do it. The chapters and checklists are ready to use and/or modify, and Karsten will chop and mix them live in the session.

Buildpacks+: A Gradual Move to Cloud Native Image Builds - David Freilich, AppsFlyer
In AppsFlyer’s effort to provide a smooth internal developer experience, we needed to offer our engineers a standard and structured way to build OCI images, regardless of build environment and programming language. Enter Buildpacks. At the same time, changing build systems carries an immense amount of risk - risk we wanted to mitigate at all costs. In this talk, we’ll discuss how we prepared our environment, and utilized Buildpacks to create OCI images that work seamlessly with our current system. Along the way, we’ll highlight how we use an adjustable post-build step to ensure our images fit with the current stage of our deployment system, and to enable a gradual move to container (and cloud native) best practices. We will show how you too can move gradually, seamlessly and safely into modern Container building techniques.

Booting Automotive ECUs Really Fast with Modern Security Features - Brendan Le Foll, BMW Car IT GmbH
Brendan will explain what is different about using Linux in the automotive segment specifically around the boot time requirements and other interesting performance indicators which are maybe different to other industries. We will show how we use yocto/poky with a mix of android derived features as well as genivi/covesa components to implement internally 10 automotive control units in infotainment, telematics, instrument cluster and body domains. The talk will center around how to handle the challenging 2 seconds rear view camera KPI in Linux userspace as well as other lifecycle KPIs (shutdown, suspend to ram) using a relatively classic systemd/glibc Linux whilst having modern security features enabled (secure boot, dm-verity, ipsec & selinux). We will especially focus on how we configure multiple different SOC platforms to achieve these goals and what hardware characteristics are most important to achieve fast boot times. The talk will then discuss the specific patches and configuration BMW proposed to systemd specifically to allow an 'early' boot target. We would also like to use the opportunity to understand if other industries have similar issues around boot times and if we could work together to jointly maintain a systemd 'fast' profile.

Leveraging Next Generation Cellular Networks for Drone Telemetry and Payload Communication - Ngonidzashe Mombeshora, University of Cape Town
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have seen an increasing adoption by industry and hobbyists realizing an ever-increasing amount of use cases limited only by current available technology. Drone use cases such as autonomous flights and long range surveillance that require beyond visual line of sight command and control are yet to be fully realized with the efficiency for commercial viability. Such limitations include, line of sight usage, data rates and latency limitations. Attempts to solve these problems have resulted in bespoke, non interoperable walled garden solutions. This solution utilizes an open-source mobile network implementation (OpenAirInterface) to realize a software stack, working alongside current open-source hardware and software solutions for drone communication. (Professional drone autopilots (Ardupilot and PX4 support) and Mavlink), to leverage the benefits of 5G New Radio for drone telemetry and payload communication. A 4G LTE, 5G NSA and 5G SA (Non-Standalone and Standalone) test-bed stack will be implemented, and flight tests carried out to draw out the benefits and drawbacks of cellular networks with respect to 1) data rates, 2) latency and 3) beyond line of sight usage.

How Open Source Helps a Grid Operator with the Challenges of the Energy Transition - Jonas van den Bogaard & Nico Rikken, Alliander N.V.
The energy transition poses new challenges to all parties in the energy sector. For grid operators, the rise in renewable energy and the electrification of energy consumption drives the grid to its limits. By using open source, participating in Open Source projects, Open Sourcing internal projects like OpenSTEF and Power Grid model, and being a member of LF Energy, the Dutch Grid Operator Alliander aims to unleash the power of open source collaboration to further the energy transition. OpenSTEF provides a complete software stack that forecasts the load on the electricity grid for the next hours to days. Given a time series of measured load or generation, a fully automated machine learning pipeline is executed which delivers a probabilistic forecast of future load. Power-grid-model is a Python library for steady-state distribution power system analysis. Currently, it supports the following calculations: 1) Symmetric and asymmetric power flow calculation with Newton-Raphson method and linear method, and 2) Symmetric and asymmetric state estimation with an iterative linear method. In this talk, we will tell you more about the OpenSTEF project and Power Grid Model project, and how these projects support the adoption of renewable energy in the Netherlands.

Building Robust ML Production Systems Using OSS Tools for Continuous Delivery for ML (CD4ML) - Dr. Fabio M. Grätz, Merantix Momentum
Teams living a DevOps culture leverage continuous integration & continuous delivery (CICD) to frequently and reliably release software, rapidly launch new features, and maintain robustness through testing and automation. In contrast to that, most ML teams test and deliver their models manually and infrequently, leading to long and error-prone delivery cycles. Data and hyper parameter configuration lack versioning, making lineage tracking and reproducing results difficult. ML has been described as a “High Interest Credit Card” as high maintenance cost can be incurred. To reduce this risk, continuous delivery for ML (CD4ML) extends CICD by introducing software best practices to ML: data, code, and hyper parameters are versioned, the process from data validation to model deployment is automated and tested. Statistical metrics of deployed models are monitored to trigger retraining if models decay. Fabio shows how ML-teams at Merantix Momentum live a MLOps culture and use vendor-agnostic OSS tools to build robust ML production systems for various industries: Flyte (workflow orchestration on Kubernetes), Mlfow, Squirrel (data mesh and versioning), Hydra (configuration), and seldon (deployment) are combined to build ML-systems that continuously train, test, deploy, and monitor models.

With FinOps Through the Cloud Cost Jungle - Vanessa Kantner & Vivien Pfeiffer, Liquid Reply
Today, the public cloud is ubiquitous. Through scalability and self-service capabilities, the cloud usage jungle grows unmanaged and wild. Engineers spin-up new cloud resources by the push of a button. Due to the on-demand nature of the cloud, in contrast to before, there are no standardized procurement or controlling processes in place to oversight the cloud development within the company. The loss of control is accompanied by the loss of transparency and a rising pile of resource waste. The FinOps approach and the FinOps Foundation, which coined the word, dedicate itself to continuously enhancing best practices around cloud financial management within an active open source community. This session covers how people in technical roles – engineers, product owners or project managers – can support cloud cost and usage transparency with the goal of preventing overspending and creating the most value out of the cloud. Vivien and Vanessa show you the ropes through the cloud cost jungle and share with you FinOps best practices to integrate into your daily work.

Sponsored Session: Killing the Reverse Proxy from the Inside: the Evolution of NGINX Unit - Liam Crilly, NGINX
NGINX as a web server and reverse proxy has been integral to the architectural patterns for web services and applications for over a decade. From the LEMP stack, to containerized apps, to Ingress Controllers for Kubernetes. But in another open source NGINX project, there is a mission to kill the reverse proxy because it represents an unnecessary layer in the application stack that results in application behaviour being described in several places. In this session we explore the challenges of distributed configuration in cloud-native infrastructure, and the complexities that this leads to.  We contrast this with the benefits of killing the reverse proxy and designing for a simpler application stack. Finally, we introduce NGINX Unit, created by the original NGINX team on an evolved architecture with a vision of delivering a simpler architecture for web applications.

The Business Of Open Source: How Big Money, Investors, and Greed are Changing Open Source Forever - Donnie Berkholz, Percona
The changing landscape of the open-source industry has taken a potentially dark turn in the last few years. Instead of focusing on inclusion, innovation, and collaboration a new generation of so called open source drive companies has emerged flush with investor money and looking to maximize the returns for their investors and shareholders at all costs. In an effort to accelerate “revenue” and “profits” these companies are looking to rewrite the definition of what they consider open source. We are in a battle for not only the hearts and minds of the FOSS community but our collective future. As new developers start open source projects more will be compelled to choose more restrictive licensing models ( i.e. SSPL ), invest less in the community, and “control” as much of the code and product as possible. I will talk about the trend, talk about the common business models, and offer a few alternatives.

How Testability Drives Observability - Ken Hamric, Tracetest (Kubeshop)
So you have OpenTelemetry tracing working, but how good is the data contained in the traces? Have you ever had a production issue, looked at the trace and thought “I still can’t tell what is going on!”. We need QA for our Traces… or at least a process that drives them to improve over time. Trace-based testing is a technique that is becoming popular to test systems at an integration or end-to-end level by applying assertions against the data contained in an OpenTelemetry (OTel) trace. Trace-based testing provides much deeper testing than traditional black box testing because it takes advantage of the richness of the information contained in the trace. We will demonstrate via a live coding exercise that utilizing trace-based testing not only allows you to quickly increase test coverage, but the practice results in improved traceability. In this session, Ken will look at a failure scenario and the associated trace. He will then work through the process of creating a trace based test to cover this scenario, improving the OTel instrumentation as part of this process. With the test completed, he will show how the addition of the data also improves the trace, increasing observability.

Automating and Managing an IoT Fleet Using Git - Matthias Lüscher, Schindler AG
During this presentation, the listener will learn how software dinosaurs (meant positively) like Debian can be combined with modern tools like Ansible, git and Mender by applying best practices like GitOps and infrastructure as code. The outcome will be a highly scalable, robust and traceable embedded fleet setup that is easy to operate with a reduced number of tools at a global scale using a modest server infrastructure. During the presentation a concrete example of managing an individual IoT device will be shown. The IoT device will furthermore receive an automatically built OS image that gets dispatched over the air. Hardware-in-the-loop testing guarantees the quality of the OS image. Finally a sample IoT fleet of seven devices (5 Raspberry Pis, 1 Compulab IoT gateway, 1 Variscite SOM on a development board) will be managed using a git repository instead of a typical IoT fleet management tool. The presentation done by Matthias Lüscher shall encourage the audience to discover tools and best practices from other domains and apply them successfully to embedded projects.

Implementing UEFI-based Secure Boot + OTA Update for Embedded ARM Devices - Jan Kiszka & Christian Storm, Siemens AG
At ELC 2020, we presented our concept of securing the boot phase of updatable embedded devices leveraging UEFI Secure Boot. Applying this concept to a real 64-bit ARM device revealed some surprising rough edges lurking around the corners. In this talk, we dive into these issues and present solutions found while the journey. We explain how to adopt the pre-integration of an Over-the-Air Update method combined with Secure Boot that has been upstreamed to the Civil Infrastructure Platform project. In particular UEFI-based Secure Boot via U-Boot, hardening U-Boot for that, building unified kernel images with device tree override options, and creating a read-only rootfs with persistent overlays plus their integrity protection is covered. Although the pre-integration is done with the Debian-based embedded system builder Isar, the concepts and solutions presented are generic and easily transferable to other (meta-)distributions.

Consumer mobile devices were used for Digital Contact Tracing during COVID-19. This rapidly created innovations in Bluetooth Low Energy based messaging protocols and reliability, decentralised healthcare data analysis, and privacy and data sovereignty. These lessons are now being applied to the wider healthcare landscape. This session will focus on how the lessons learnt from COVID-19 open source software through the Linux Foundation Public Health projects, including Herald an opensource reliable messaging platform that started by supporting Bluetooth Low Energy, are currently being applied more broadly, and what is coming over the next 12-36 months. For hospitals, tracking hospital equipment and biopsies to reduce waste and improve patient outcomes is a primary focus. The technology is also being applied to assist with patient monitoring and safety. In-hospital navigation is also being trialed. A future innovation is replacing pagers in hospitals with a more reliable method providing greater patient context, and the ability to respond more quickly. For individual health, fully decentralised digital contact tracing with less privacy concerns than is currently possible is being worked on. Applying machine learning on wearables, and patient data privacy and consenting too.

Unifying Confidential Attestation - Tobin Feldman-FItzthum & Dov Murik, IBM
With the recent rise of several confidential computing technologies, the term attestation has become overloaded. Different platforms offer attestations with different properties and flows, none of which match with traditional techniques. This talk will highlight crucial differences between SEV-ES, SEV-SNP, and Intel TDX. This talk will also discuss strategies for reconciling these differences and unifying confidential attestation. One approach is for each platform to support a secure vTPM backed by the hardware root of trust. This would allow standardization between platforms and between confidential and traditional workloads. This talk will discuss the feasibility and complexities of implementing and deploying secure vTPMs. This talk will also discuss the Confidential Containers Attestation Agent, another approach for unified attestation, that does not require extensive guest or host support. This talk will also highlight related approaches such as those proposed in the Libvirt community and offer some conclusions about where standardization makes the most sense.

QEMU: Emulating Your Way to Success - Ben Dooks, Codethink
QEMU is a versatile virtualiser and emulator that runs and emulates many of today's modern systems. It can be helpful in many projects from developing new Linux systems or drivers, creating test rigs, bootstraping distributions to tinkering with new systems without having to leave the comfort of your PC. Codethink has used QEMU in a number of projects from effective testing of a new low-level kernel feature (where emualting a different X86 from the devleoper laptop is very useful), virtualised hardware to be used in test farms to allow emulation for software development of the boot-stack  of a yet-to-be-delivered SoC. With all the different aspects, we'll look at the emulation modes, the interfaces that qemu provides and how it can be used to provide flexible support.

Diskless Booting of RPi 400 Using Bootp, tftp, iscsi and NFS - Pascal van Dam, Poortier Management
The RPi 400 are ideal candidates that can replace workstations in class rooms. Running a 4 c-core ARM64 processor, 4GiB of memory, a network adapater and video connectors built in a small 'keyboard' casing make them ideal replacements for class room workstations. However the SD cards that these SBCs boot from are very fragile. Booting from USB sticks would be better, but having them boot remotely over the network would also solve the management problem. In this presentation Pascal will talk you to the process of engineering a solution that will allow the RPi 400 but also other Raspberry Pi's to boot from the network. The PIs will bootstrap using bootp and tftpboot and then connect an iSCSI root disk to boot from. In the talk I will discuss issue we faced like how to keep the kernel and initrd up-to-date after doing an OS upgrade. The whole solution is automated with Ansible so one can quickly roll out tens of RPi 400's. The icing on the cake is central user management with a NFS based home share and centralized user management either by FreeIPA or Active Directory with Samba.

Getting Into Linux Kernel Development After 30 Years - Muhammad Usama Anjum, Collabora
Linux Kernel has celebrated its 30th anniversary. As an open-source project, it constantly needs new developers and contributors who are ready to dive deeply into so much old codebase, which is evolving every minute. The documentation of all the components isn't available and even if it is available, it isn't updated from where the beginners should start understanding and contributing. There are several efforts to entice new people through trainings, internships, and easy communication mechanisms. All of these will be mentioned in my talk, including some paths which the newbies have taken to successfully become Linux Kernel developers. This talk will serve as awareness and advice to kernel newbies.

When Your Open Source Tool Turns to the Dark Side - Dotan Horovits, Logz.io
Imagine waking up one morning to find out that your beloved open source database, which lies at the heart of your system, is being relicensed. What does that mean? Can you still use it as before? Could the new license be infectious and require you to open source your own business logic? This doom’s day nightmare scenario isn’t hypothetical. It is, in fact, very real, for databases and other OSS, with several examples over the past year alone. On this talk Horovits will review some of the less known risks of open source, and share his lessons learned from Elasticsearch’s recent relicensing move, as well as other case studies from the past year. If you use OSS, you’ll learn how to safeguard yourself. If you’re in the process of evaluating a new OSS, you’ll learn to look beyond the license and consider additional criteria. If you're debating open-sourcing a project, you'll gain important perspectives to consider.

Attesting Practically: Exploring the Glue Behind Secure Runtime Environments - Jim Bugwadia, Nirmata
Attestations are rapidly gaining popularity in the software supply chain security community. But most people don’t yet have a practical understanding of how to use them to improve their existing software delivery pipelines, or how they can help you secure your runtime environments. In this talk, Jim will explore how to use Cosign, in-toto attestations, and VEX documents to act as the connective tissue between scanners and policy engines like Kyverno to create secure and auditable runtime environments. He will walk through an end-to-end flow that demonstrates how this system will allow you to react to software security threats and triage them effectively — allowing your teams to focus on critical issues and navigate through the noise and chaos.

Lightning Talk: Scoring Dependencies to Detect “Weak Links” in your Open-source Software Supply Chain - Ashish Bijlani, Ossillate, Inc.
From a benign left-pad beginning to recent protestware, software supply chain attacks on open-source package managers such as NPM and PyPI have grown manifold. Bad actors today leverage highly sophisticated techniques such as typo-squatting, repo-jacking, and social engineering to "supply" malicious dependencies. Yet, there is no robust way to measure such risks.

This talk will present PACKJ, an open-source data-driven tool to score dependencies and measure the level of potential supply chain risks. It checks for several risky code/metadata attributes that indicate malware or make a package vulnerable to typo-squatting, account hijacking attacks. These attributes are empirically identified in our study of 651 publicly documented malicious packages. Risk scores can be customized to match the threat model. Using PACKJ, we have already identified several abandoned and malicious packages. This presentation will include a brief demo and highlight our findings.

Introducing the libblkio High-performance Block I/O API - Stefan Hajnoczi & Alberto Faria, Red Hat
Applications are increasingly integrating high-performance I/O interfaces such as Linux io_uring, userspace device drivers, and vhost-user device support. The effort required to add each of these low-level interfaces into an application is relatively high. libblkio provides a single open source API for efficiently accessing block devices and eliminates the need to write custom code for each one. Designed to work on bare metal, inside containers, and in virtual machines, libblkio enables applications to run in each of these environments without rewriting code. Blocking, event-driven, and polling mode are supported and give applications the choice of I/O model, making it easy to integrate libblkio into existing applications. The new libblkio QEMU block driver and fio ioengine allow virtual machines and benchmarking workloads to take advantage of libblkio today. We will discuss the libblkio API design, available drivers, and roadmap so that more applications can benefit from libblkio.

It’s no longer enough for code to be elegant, ingenious, and useful: especially now, it needs to be safe. Our software supply chain must be safe and verifiable. For developers to use open-source code, they must be able to trust where that code came from and how secure it is. For open source to flourish, we all need to be able to trust our open ecosystem – top to bottom and end to end. A leader in open source from the beginning, Intel has continuously worked to strengthen and grow the future of open source.

Keynote: Does eBPF Mean the End of the Sidecar Model? - Liz Rice, Chief Open Source Officer, Isovalent
eBPF is a kernel technology that lets us dynamically change the way that the kernel behaves - and it’s revolutionizing cloud native tooling. Tools built with eBPF have the power to observe, secure and connect all the processes on a (virtual) machine. This means there’s no longer a need to inject a container into a pod’s namespace in order to interact with that pod. Could this be the end of the sidecar model that has, until now, been commonly used to instrument cloud native applications?  

This talk clarifies how eBPF makes sidecars unnecessary for many use-cases, and discusses the arguments for and against sidecars in complex abstractions like service mesh.

Lightning Talk: Testing and Validating Container Images with Container Canary - Jacob Tomlinson, NVIDIA
Bring-your-own-container models are widely supported on today’s modern compute platforms. In other words, users can provide their own container images within their custom software environment. However, user-provided containers must satisfy each platform's unique requirements–which can vary from platform to platform. For example, you may need to: • Use a specific non-root user. • Place the home directory in a certain location. • Install dependency packages. • Run web applications on designated ports. Keeping your container images conformant with these arbitrary requirements can be challenging. As a result, Jacob is introducing a new open-source tool called Container Canary to capture these requirements and automatically test against them. In other words, Container Canary provides a specification for recording these requirements as a manifest that can be checked into version control. You can then use the canary CLI tool to validate containers against that manifest.

Scaling SLOs with Kubernetes and Cloud Native Observability - George Hantzaras, Citrix Systems
Defining Service Level Objectives and Service Level Indicators is a really important aspect of implementing SRE. Through service metrics (SLOs, SLIs, Error Budgets), SRE can help us measure our system’s performance and improve customer experience. They not only enable your teams to monitor and plan around reliability, but can also be early predictors of customer satisfaction, NPS, churn rates, and more. With the rise of cloud native technologies, it has become more and more relevant to automate our observability, extending it to an SLO-as-code model. In this session we’ll see how SLOs have evolved and can be used in a Cloud Native world. We’ll then explore how technologies like Kubernetes and Prometheus can help us scale SLOs, while promoting best practices and standards using Observability as code. Finally, we’ll see how to put all these together with Jenkins and Rancher, to operationalize error budgets.

Continuous Delivery of IoT Sensors - Ulf Lilleengen, Red Hat
Many embedded devices have for a long time been exempt from modern software practices such as continuous delivery, and enabling these practices have been justified only for larger vendors with a big number of devices in the field. The problems with this approach are the same as for regular software: out of date software that contains bugs and security issues, and making changes become hard. The Drogue IoT project builds on top of existing open source technologies such as Apache Kafka, Kubernetes, Tekton and PostgreSQL and protocols such as MQTT, to build an open source IoT platform. In this presentation, we will demonstrate firmware update capabilities in Drogue IoT, using a Tekton build pipeline, OTA on top of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and a Linux gateway component. As Drogue IoT is extensible, we can leverage both OCI compatible registries, like Docker.io, or alternatively, a system like Eclipse hawkBit, to manage firmware revisions.

Delta OTA Update with SWUpdate - Stefano Babic, DENX Gmbh
Embedded Systems are become more and more complex, and the size of the whole Software running on devices increases steadily in last years. An incremental OTA update will save a lot of bandwidth if it is able to download just the changed part ("delta") of the running software. Updating full images is a very strong and reliable strategy for IOT and embedded systems, but creating a delta binary image is often a challenge. This talk will offer an overview about different mechanisms to generate delta update. It will show how to apply them to "SWUpdate" and it will present the "Delta Update" feature introduced in SWUpdate since release 2021.11. The talk will then go in details how delta update is working in SWUpdate and describe which requirements are required to get it working for your project.

Improving Wireless PAN Support - Miquèl Raynal, Bootlin
Anybody eager to learn about IoT devices has at least once tried to play with Zigbee or 6lowpan sensors. These two protocols are built on top of a well common MAC/PHY specification: IEEE 802.15.4, also known as Wireless Personal Area Networks: WPAN, designed to be low-rate/low-range wireless networks. There is already substantial support for this protocol in the Linux kernel but when my journey started, several of the MAC-related operations well described in the specification were not implemented, making the subsystem mainly useful for very simple use cases: peer-to-peer transmissions. This is unfortunate as a significant part of the idea behind WPAN is to make these networks quite adaptive and resilient, which requires a minimal subset of the peer management procedure to be supported. Besides a number of preparation changes, the main idea behind the continuous flow of patches was to bring support for the scanning procedure which allows a PAN controller to detect all the compatible devices around it in different ways. Discovering these devices is the first step in order to associate them together and build up starred networks. This talk will be an opportunity to explain the new APIs allowing such discoveries and provide a state of the art of the support in the mainline kernel.

More Science Fiction than Fairy Tale: A Discussion of the Linux Kernel Memory Model - Jonas Oberhauser, Huawei
The Linux Kernel runs on a variety of architectures under an aggressively optimizing compiler. Both compiler and hardware reorder memory operations in various ways to improve performance, resulting in drastically different behaviors of mainly concurrent code on each platform. To allow concurrent components for the kernel to be developed in a mostly platform-independent way, developers and researchers tackled the daunting effort of providing a unified abstraction of these hardware and compiler optimizations in the form of 1) a library of concurrency primitives and 2) a high-level mathematical model of these optimizations which predicts their visible effects when using that library. This Linux Kernel Memory Model (LKMM) was published under the title "Frightening small children and disconcerting grown-ups: Concurrency in the Linux kernel", reminiscent of German fairy tales. We explain how to read and use such models for practitioners, and show on various examples that perhaps the LKMM is less like a fairy tale and more like science fiction, as it involves time travel, robots, and lots of moving parts. We discuss some areas where the LKMM might be improved further, e.g., where it makes incorrect predictions on Linux code or allows behaviors unintended by its original designers.

Community Data: What to Measure and Why? - Cali Dolfi, Red Hat
Community metrics give you a lot of data about an open source community -- but do they give you insight? By understanding the nuances of open source communities, community managers can capitalize on data science workflow to move from metrics just being a checkbox of raw data to obtaining information that pushes the boundaries on what can be discovered. With this holistic information, community members can make path changes and more powerfully advocate for themselves in the language of the new age: data analysis. This will look at visualizations and metrics from the perspective of the individual community and from the ever-connected open source ecosystem. Through the Augur OSS project, Project Sandiego is able to take on the task of giving insight, not just data points. From here, we can begin to question what assumptions we make, from the data and community perspective. From this presentation you will leave with a better understanding of how to give actionable insights for people within and outside a particular community that builds on the historical knowledge around open source. This will also serve as a specific use-case examination on the care and nuance that should be considered for any data science analysis performed. *This will include new findings from NA presentation

Navigating the Linux Graphics Stack - Michael Tretter, Pengutronix
DRI, DRM, KMS, FB, EGL, Wayland, V4L2: The Linux graphics stack can be very confusing and intimidating. Unfortunately, the first contact is usually when a system is not performing as expected and needs to be debugged. This situation can easily occur for embedded systems with a graphical user interface. Due to hardware resource constraints, handling the large amount of data involved in graphics makes it necessary to use optimized hardware paths to fulfill (soft) real-time system requirements such as a certain frame rate. Understanding these acronyms and the components that constitute the graphics stack is necessary for working with the internals on embedded systems. This is essential for optimizing a system's graphics performance or investigating observed performance issues, and communicating findings to others. To make the Linux graphics stack less scary, Michael will take you by the hand and give you a guided tour. We will find out, which software components are involved in the Linux graphics stack, and discuss which APIs are used to interact with these components and which should be avoided. Furthermore, we will look at the tools and methods which can be used for debugging.

Lowering the Cost of Open Source by Increasing Transparency - Julia Ferraioli, Cisco
With the proliferation of open source projects available to do everything from complex machine learning to converting tabs to spaces, making smart decisions for what projects to take on as your dependencies has never been harder. What is important to one project, developer, or company when adopting an open source dependency may vary greatly from another. The uncomfortable situation that many find themselves in is not knowing what to evaluate or even how to find the relevant information. Current open source initiatives focus on the composition of open source software, the security posture of its operational practices, and other forms of compliance – the importance of which should not be downplayed! Still, given the importance of open source software in today's technological landscape, we need to think outside of the box and examine what other challenges consumers of open source face when assessing, adopting, and patching open source code. This talk will take a look at how maintainers can provide critical information about their own projects to potential adopters, as well as introduce ways that open source programs offices can consume this information to streamline evaluation, improve maintenance, and facilitate contributions back upstream.

Zero-Configuration Runtime Software Component Detection - Inhyeok Jang, The Affiliated Institute of ETRI
SBOM has received significant attention due to recent incidents. Therefore, you can find many related tools and resources for generating it. However, detecting information about software running in an operating environment remains an unresolved problem. Although Apache patched the Log4Shell vulnerability last year, many applications and systems are still vulnerable. It becomes more challenging to detect and fix when an application embeds a vulnerable software component buried in long dependency chains. In this talk, Inhyeok Jang finds out how to determine whether vulnerable software is running on your systems and applications. In particular, he uses eBPF to detect which version of the software of interest, such as Log4j and Spring Core, from the running system without an initial configuration for each application. To this end, he will show what information needs to be obtained from the kernel when executing the java application. He also introduces how to process the data collected from the Linux kernel in the userspace to find out Java Archive information such as title and version. Using the implemented runtime java component detector, he verifies whether the vulnerable version of the component is used in the container images in a public repository and talks about the result.

SOS: Simplifying Operators Substantially - A Hands-on Workshop for Beginners in k8s Native Applications - Manna Kong & Soundharya Pabba, Red Hat
In this workshop, we will focus our talk on Kubernetes native applications aka ‘Operators’. We hope to bring resources to cloud native learners as we share our own story as Junior Software Engineers trying to navigate the cloud native world, from creating frontend web applications to Kubernetes native applications. To reinforce the knowledge we gained, we found hands-on learning was a necessary supplement, so this tutorial workshop is an extended version of our operator presentation that provides hands-on labs for attendees to experiment and create an operator. During our recent excursion to Cloud Native Rejekts, we were faced with the constant question, “Why Operators?”. In this workshop, we hope to provide a more simplified explanation as to what Operators are, where they come from, why they exist, who should use them, why applications can benefit from an Operator, and how we hope to enable the community to continue exploring all the capabilities an Operator provides.

Panel Discussion: Open Source as a Second Language - Chan Voong, Comcast; Clare Dillon, Innersource Commons; Nithya Ruff, Amazon; Ana Jimenez Santamaria, TODO Group; Vicky Twomey-Lee, Coding Grace
The open source community has developed a vocabulary and culture that can be viewed as a second language. In learning open source, there can be a steep learning curve for those who do not initially arrive at it in their education, early careers or only participate as a small percentage of their work. To speak the language, one must meet colleagues in common areas like Github, learn the terminologies and methods, practice contributing, and repeat often to become fluent. However, there are still language barriers as open source practices differ across companies, and stakeholders can drastically vary anywhere between legal, security, and technical experts that bring their own lingo. With developers being distributed globally, there are challenges but also opportunities for open source software to be written in multiple programming languages and languages other than English. This panel brings diverse perspectives and will share how they learned to speak open source, guidance on working with stakeholders, and why open source has become a primary language in their careers. They will explore the impact of language, open source culture and communication styles, and strategies for making language inclusive.

Using OpenThread to Enable Low-Power IP Connectivity on Your MCU Project - Stefan Schmidt, Huawei Technologies
When designing battery-powered devices, wireless connectivity is a sore point for the power budget. Wi-Fi is easily available, but drains batteries fast. Bluetooth LE on the other hand helps to conserve power, but suffers from higher latency and limited use compared to a full mesh network with IP connectivity. Thread offers a sweetspot in-between by using low-power transceivers, mesh capabilities and IPv6. In this talk Stefan looks at the technical aspects of integrating and using OpenThread for your project or product. With the goal to operate on a coin-cell battery for months, or even years, while still maintaining connectivity to the local mesh network in your home and, if wanted, to the cloud. Stefan starts with discussing operations on bare-metal, RTOS and Linux. Followed by a deep dive into the technologies OpenThread uses and explanations on how they work: 6lowpan to adapt IPv6 to the limitations of the 802.15.4 physical and mac layers. IPv6 to allow for for link-local, mesh and global addresses and routing. Recent additions to mDNS to allow for a discovery proxy (rfc8766) in combination with the newly developed Service Registration Protocol (draft-ietf-dnssd-srp). The later combination allows to avoid flooding mDNS messages on the low-power network to save power.

Implementing A/B System Updates with U-Boot - Michael Opdenacker, Bootlin
A popular way to implement system updates is through the A/B scheme, in which you have two copies of the root filesystem, one which is active, and one that is meant to contain the next update. When a new update is successfully applied, you need to make the corresponding partition become the new active one. That's when a number of practical questions arise, such as how to identify the active partition, how to detect when the new system fails to boot properly, and how to fall back to the previous version? It was hard to find documentation about how U-Boot could address such needs to implement a functional and failsafe A/B system update mechanism. This presentation proposes to address this need by sharing the practical solutions we found, using lesser known commands and capabilities in U-Boot. We will also explain how the Linux side can cooperate with the U-Boot side. Fortunately, you won't need to erase half of your brain to get updated on this topic.

Performance Insights into eBPF Step by Step - Dmitrii Dolgov, Red Hat
Having full visibility throughout the system you build is well established best practice. Usually one knows which metrics to collect, how and what to profile or instrument to understand why the system exhibits this level of performance. All of this becomes more challenging as soon as eBPF layer is included. In this talk Dmitrii shed some light on those bits of your service that use eBPF, step by step with topics such as: * How to collect execution metrics of eBPF programs? * How can we profile these eBPF programs? * What are the common pitfalls to avoid? The talk will provide the attendees with an approach to analyze and reason about eBPF programs performance.

Defining an Open Source AI - Stefano Maffulli, Open Source Initiative
In this session, open source advocates, researchers and developers will be invited to participate in a thought-provoking discussion about a seismic shift facing open source today: What characteristics should be in an Open Source AI? The traditional view of open source code implementing AI algorithms may not be sufficient to guarantee inspectability, modifiability and replicability of the AI systems. AI is already deciding who stays in jail or which customers deserve credit to buy a house. More kinds of “autonomous” systems are appearing so fast that government regulators are rushing to define policies. The Open Source Initiative is leading an exploration of the world of AI and Open Source, diving deep around the boundaries of data and software to discover how existing concepts like copy, distribution, modification of source code apply in the context of Artificial Intelligence. We’ll share the first results of OSI’s Deep Dive: AI, the multi-part event that is helping OSI stakeholders frame a conversation to discover what’s acceptable for AI systems to be “Open Source.”

Peeling Back the Layers of Storage - John Hawley, VMware
Linux has a myriad of storage options, and a number of layers that can be built one on top of another, to form some very robust, but potentially very complex, stacks that provide the entirety of the storage system. My intention is to work my way up from the most basic storage layer, physical storage, and explain what options there are from basic single disk and a file system type systems, to a full layered look at a system with raided disks, ssd caching, deduplication, all the way up through file systems in user space. This is specifically targeted as a high level overview of the systems involved, block, volume, and filesystems but it's also intended to go over some more complex systems, and how to achieve things like on the fly disk compression, deduplication, and give an overview of the different technologies available to achieve similar ends.

Sponsored Session: Creating Community in a Complex World: Everything Old is New Again - Amy Marrich, Red Hat
Against a backdrop of ever increasing global challenge - from climate to COVID to armed conflict - the world of open source development and community stands at the same crossroad that has always been before us: How we will choose to build our future projects, advance the state of the art, and sustain efforts focused on critical technical infrastructure? In this talk, Leslie Hawthorn will explore the key opportunities before us and how we can best leverage the lessons of early successes - and failures - in the open source world to navigate our future.

As part of this discussion, she will explore promising trends on the global open source scene, including:
  • The must-be-seized potential of expanding open source development in an era when technical knowledge has become available to practitioners at an unforeseeably high velocity.
  • The rise and institutionalization of the Open Source Program Office as a vehicle for increasing collaboration and efficiency outside of the corporate sector;
  • The role of open source software as a vehicle for reskilling our workforce, creating economic mobility, and solving global problems at a local level.

Attendees of this talk will leave with:
  •  A solid understanding of the shifting landscape of the human element in our open source software development.
  • Best practices for businesses to best engage in this shifting landscape, particularly in their application to emerging arenas for open source, from industry verticals to academia.
  • How to engage the opportunity to rethink “the new normal” as a fertile ground for both innovation and sustainable growth and evolution of our communities. 

Additionally, you will be treated to a whirlwind tour of some of the very best moments to advance the community state of the art that your humble speaker has personally witnessed over the past 15+ years while working with hundreds of different communities across the globe.

Tracking Attackers in Open Source Supply Chain Attacks: The New Frontier - Tzachi ( Zack) Zorenshtain, Checkmarx
Widespread use of open source software has motivated malicious actors to take advantage of the medium, spawning significant and widespread attacks. To be able to identify these threats at scale we automated this process and would like to present and share some open source tools to detect those attacks. RED LILI This is the largest batch of malicious packages from a single threat actor (1500 packages and still counting ). We will dive into the attack and discuss the infrastructure required for such attacks. To keep track of RED-LILI as they continue to publish malicious packages, our research team has launched RED-LILI Tracker (https://red-lili.info) UA-Parser (Good package gone BAD) An attacker comprised a legitimate account of a popular open-source contributor. We will dive into the attack and TTPs used (Account Takeover) and will discuss Chain alert Free service for the open-source community to alert on those attacks. Protestware A pro-Ukraine NPM user account riaevangelist released several new versions of its popular package “node-ipc” (over million weekly downloads ), which included a wiper functionally targeting Russian and Belarusian IP addresses and running a malicious payload, destroying all files on disk by overwriting their content with a heart emoji “❤️” .

Encore Presentation: Building and Supporting Open Source Communities Through Metrics - Georg Link & Emilio Galeano Gryciuk, Bitergia
Each community is different and therefore requires different metrics for data-driven decisions about building and supporting it. The CHAOSS Project was established to help empower open source communities through metrics. We have had many conversations with contributors and realized that everyone pays attention to different aspects of their communities. This talk will share what we have learned in the CHAOSS Project about having metrics for open source communities. Once the right metrics have been decided on, both technical and organizational challenges need to be overcome, which we discuss how to do. Finally, this talk will describe real-world examples of how metrics have been used to help build and support open source communities.

Tightrope Walking: Best Practices & Lessons Learned on Community and Business Building From the World's Best Open Source Creators & Maintainers - Ben Rometsch, Flagsmith
In the middle of 2021, my co-founders and I were struggling to get our open source business off the ground. We were struggling with questions of community, licensing, product and business models. Eventually, the questions became so many that I decided to reach out to some of the world's best open source maintainers and creators to ask them and avoid some of the biggest pitfalls. The best part about open source is that once a problem is solved, if it is shared with the world, we don't have to solve it again. With that ethos in mind, I decided to start recording these insightful conversations and turned that into a podcast called The Craft of Open Source. Fast forward to today, I've met with over 40 of the Open Source Communities greatest contributors and want to share those learnings with the audience. Some of the people that we've interviewed include: DHH of Ruby on Rails, Mitchel Hashimoto of HashiCorp, Heather Meeker of Open Source Capital and many many more!

Hello there dear developer building your app on open source dependencies. Oh wait, did you think open source code lives forever? Think again! Did you hear about the maintainer discontinuing a library despite having tens of millions of downloads? What about a maintainer who intentionally introduced code to break the functionality of his package which receives millions of downloads? So, did you ever wonder why dependencies die? Join me on a journey full of humor and horror across real-world incidents to learn how even the mightiest of open source projects got defeated. What can we learn from past incidents on the continuous struggles of open source software sustainability, maintainer burnout, and how it impacts us.

Cameras, Devicetree and ACPI: A Device Driver Perspective - Sakari Ailus, Intel
There are two classes of integrated camera hardware on the market today, USB cameras as well sets of hardware components such as raw image sensors, image signal processors (ISP), lens voice coil modules (VCM) that together can be used to implement a digital camera. USB cameras are self-contained and work with a single device driver but what about this other option? Its benefits compared to a USB camera include more choice in component selection, better control and better image quality. Traditionally found in mobile phones, during the past few years such cameras have found their way to laptops and tablets as well. There is also a downside: all the complexity of implementing a digital camera is exposed to the operating system. Each component requires a driver and most of these drivers require information on the system they're running on from the system firmware. Each component also requires low-level control from the operating systems. This presentation discusses DT and ACPI firmware interfaces in the scope of cameras, their differences as well as how device drivers interface with them.

Growing a Lab for Automated Upstream Testing: Challenges and Lessons Learned - Laura Nao, Collabora Ltd.
With great labs comes great responsibility! In this presentation, we will walk through the challenges of maintaining and growing the Collabora LAVA lab, which now counts more than 100 devices of several types running thousands of test jobs every day. Our main goal is to build an ecosystem of devices that open source projects can use for automated testing on various hardware. Successful CI initiatives such as KernelCI and MesaCI have been leveraging the Collabora lab for their automated upstream testing and development workflows, with more than a hundred thousand test jobs running every month. Maintaining and scaling up on such a large lab comes with its own sets of requirements and challenges. As coverage increases in the project pipelines, the impact of any unreliability or failure in the hardware pool multiplies. Continuous monitoring and recovery mechanisms are crucial to ensure good device availability and reliability. We will discuss the lifecycle of devices inside the lab from the bring up to the day-to-day care, as well as the ongoing efforts to make the Collabora LAVA lab more robust as it grows.

Walking Through the Linux-Based Graphics Stack - Paul Kocialkowski, Bootlin
The graphics stack used with the Linux kernel is a notoriously complex beast. From userspace down to the kernel level, a number of components are involved and interact with eachother. It is also an area that is constantly evolving to meet new use cases, refresh legacy implementations and achieve better performance. This makes it difficult to have a clear idea of the big picture and what is actually happening when using graphics-related components. This presentation will detail a walk through the graphics stack, with actual examples of displaying a buffer and rendering using the GPU. Going from the application level through the system libraries, down to the kernel and ending with actual hardware configuration. State-of-the-art technologies such as Wayland and DRM will be highlighted with relevant excerpts from the source code of related free software projects that are widely used today.

Understanding Self-Sovereign Identity the Open Standards and the Open Source - Kaliya Young, Identity Woman
Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), also called Decentralized Identity, is an emerging paradigm for digital identity that many open source projects are building upon. This talk will elaborate on why it is extremely important for the open source community/projects in the SSI space to stay aligned with the evolving open standards as well as become an important feedback loop for standard development. The speaker will present an overview of the various efforts in the open standard communities including the W3C Credentials Community Group and relevant working groups, the Decentralized Identity Foundation, and the Trust over IP Foundation, the latter two being hosted at the Linux Foundation. She will also highlight key open source projects that implement these standards. The technology will be contextualized relative to earlier paradigms for digital identity including traditional Enterprise Identity and Access Management and protocols like OpenID for social login. Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of open-standard-based open source development and a starting point to engage with the communities developing the technology. The material being shared will echo the new course being developed at LF Training focused on Self-Sovereign Identity.

Panel Discussion: Corporate Strategies for Sustainable Investing in the Open Source Ecosystem - Mike Fix, Stripe, Inc.; Richard Littauer, Open Source Collective; Suzanne Ambiel, VMware & Alyssa Wright, Bloomberg
The open source community suffers from both a long-term lack of funding from corporations which benefit from its code, and from a lack of governance which affords growth and sustainability. This tenuity leads to an unstable landscape for corporate involvement. As awareness of this problem has grown, engagement in existing solutions remains lacking - particularly from companies who would benefit from a more secure, well-resourced open source ecosystem.
Many corporate OSPOs altruistically support projects fiscally, hoping for a short-term ROI. However, the return on altruistic endeavors is often itself short lived, and so investments dry up. How can corporations effectively leverage the altruistically motivated OSS practitioners internally with an eye towards long-term returns for their investments in the projects they touch, the ecosystem they work in, and their own competitive markets?
This panel, led by Community Development Manager at Open Source Collective, Richard Littauer, invites OSPO leaders Suzanne Ambiel (VMware), Alyssa Wright (Bloomberg), and Mike Fix (Stripe) to discuss corporate strategies for investing in open source sustainably. How can companies fund projects with an eye towards real return on investment, in order to keep their programs running for the long haul?

How To Break a Network - Jack Min Ong, MoneyLion
Pretty much every developer has to interact with the network stack at some point in their workflow, be it to deploy a service, interact with sensors, or access resources on the company network. It is thus no surprise that a good understanding of computer networking is often the distinguishing factor between those who can get things done and those who perpetually have to wait for IT to fix their problems. This tutorial aims to provide a top-down overview of computer networking, starting with typical functioning use cases which then get misconfigured. In the process of figuring out why the misconfiguration breaks the network, attendees are introduced to the key concepts in computer networking in a more motivated way, without the boring theory and terminology that constitutes a typical networking course.

Kubetest2: Because Now You Can Test Kubernetes on Your Bespoke Cloud Too! - Priyanka Saggu, VMware
Do you want to test Kubernetes end-to-end on your cloud? Also curious to know how other projects in the Kubernetes ecosystem do this? If so, you will love our Kubetest2 session. Kubetest2 is a testing framework maintained by Kubernetes SIG Testing that allows you to test Kubernetes both locally and on the cloud. It manages cluster configuration, e2e testing, log collection, and test environment disposal. Kubetest2 natively supports GCP, GKE & KinD deployers, but also enables writing custom deployers out-of-tree. A custom Kubetest2 deployer is possible, but it needs some prior context & knowledge of Kubetest2 internals. To that end, this talk will provide attendees with the following takeaways: * What is Kubetest2, how it is architected, and its evolution from its predecessor Kubetest * Benefits of using Kubetest2 as a testing tool for your project * Reasons to use a bespoke Kubetest2 deployer Finally, we will demo how to develop a custom deployer for your own cloud provider.

Panel Discussion: Community Response to Non-Practicing Entity Patent Risk in OSS - Shawn Ambwani, Unified Patents; Keith Bergelt, Open Invention Network; Karen Copenhaver, The Linux Foundation & Stephen Walli, Microsoft
Over the course of the last three to five years, patent aggression from operating companies against open source project code has declined as more and more operating companies like Microsoft have agreed to cross-license patents that read on core open source software (OSS) functionality through participation in the Open Invention Network Patent Non-Aggression Community.  During this period, however, patent aggression against critical OSS project functionality has risen at an accelerated rate from non-practicing entities (NPEs) seeking to monetize patents that have, for the most part, been purchased from the secondary market.   As such, coordinated countermeasures have been adopted by Microsoft, the Linux Foundation and Open Invention Network through the founding and funding of the OSS Zone managed by Unified Patents. Two plus years into its formation the OSS Zone has realized substantial success in invalidating poor quality patents held by NPEs that had been asserting them against critical open source functionality. The panel will discuss the nature of non-practicing entity patent risk to OSS, the motivation for a collaborative partnership between the founding/funding parties, and provide an overview of patent risk mitigation benefits attributable to this initiative.

Address Space Isolation for Enhanced Safety of the Linux Kernel - Igor Stoppa, NVIDIA
Linux is entering fields dominated by specialised embedded OS, like Safety applications. However, Linux was not designed to pass the safety qualification process, where claims about system safety need the backing of both argumentation and objective evidence. In a system with components having different levels of Safety, the less-safe components cannot generate undetected interference in safer ones. The kernel-space memory management is not helping, though. For example, a buggy device driver can interfere with any other non-write protected component, including scheduling metadata, execution stacks, etc. The proposal identifies a strategy for functional partitioning of the system, identification of critical elements, and various mechanisms to increase their safety. It will describe changes to the Linux kernel, both for memory management, creating an opt-in level of address space isolation, and also other specific tweaks, for hardening critical aspects, like the kernel stack, against interference. The goal is to expand both the prevention and the detection of interferences that external monitoring alone would not detect easily. Participants will learn both a methodology for the safety analysis of a Linux system, and mechanism for improving the safety of selected components.

How the LFX Mentorship Program Helped me Level-Up My Career - Navendu Pottekkat, API7.ai
In 2020, I made my first open source contribution. It was very rewarding that I started to spend more time contributing to open source. I was just starting to program full-time and I had a lot to learn. That is when I was accepted into the Linux Foundation Mentorship Program. It gave me access to mentors and helped me improve my coding skills. It also helped me to work on open source while getting a stable stipend. This journey led me to full-time roles writing open source code. Today, I help pay it forward by being a mentor through the same program. In this talk, I walk through how this program has been beneficial to me and others who come from similar backgrounds that offer very less opportunities. I will also share my journey that led to working in open source full-time with very global and diverse teams. This talk is for both mentors and mentees wanting to level up in their careers through open source.

SBOMs: Essential for Embedded Systems Too! - Kate Stewart, The Linux Foundation
With the recent focus on improving Cybersecurity, the expectation that a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) can be produced, is becoming the norm. Having a clear understanding of the software running on an embedded system, especially in safety critical applications, like medical devices, energy infrastructure, etc. has become essential. Regulatory authorities have recognized this and are starting to expect it as a condition for engagement. Safety critical certifications require this level of information already, it just needs to be shared in a standard format so others can do better risk management and vulnerability analysis, as well. This talk will provide an overview of the emerging regulatory landscape, as well as examples of how SBOMs are already being generated today for embedded systems by open source projects such as Zephyr, Yocto and others.

How to Build Trustworthy AI with Open Source - Diana Atanasova & Teodora Sechkova, VMware
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer in the future. AI has left the research laboratories and has become rapidly part of various aspects of our lives. As AI adoption grows and the system's complexity increases, the consequences of making wrong decisions also rise significantly. The more we depend on AI to make decisions on our behalf, the more we require mature AI systems that we can trust. To ensure AI systems continuously behave in a trustworthy manner, research communities and governmental bodies began efforts to define guidelines and principles like Trusted AI, Responsible AI, Ethical AI, and Trustworthy AI. Each guide gives its taxonomy and categories of properties the AI needs to achieve for the good of humanity. In this session, Teodora and Diana will walk you through the Trusted AI ecosystem and demo existing open source projects: Adversarial Robustness Toolbox, AI Fairness, AI Explainability, and more to show how to leverage the existing tools to insert accountability into your machine lifecycle and improve the trustworthiness of your system.

Building a Team for the Upstream: Things We Learned Building InnerSource Teams for Open Source Impact - Emma Irwin, Microsoft
When efforts to contribute to, participate-in, lead and support upstream projects are siloed in product teams, or reliant on advocacy of individuals who 'get it' , the impact for our customers, and the entire ecosystem falls short of the potential. In this talk, Emma will share the concept of 'internal community building' to both empower and scale impact on upstream projects and beyond. Specifically, this talk will focus on three of Microsoft's cross-organizational community building efforts, each it's own group with specific goals : - Upstream impact on open source metrics (CHAOSS) - Upstream impact on diversity equity and inclusion - And (no big deal) every open source project on the planet. This is InnerSource working for open source, and I will share what has worked (and not worked!) . Go team upstream!

How to Identify and Avoid Cracks and Bumps in your Digital Infrastructure? By Considering the Health of Open Source in your Intake Process - Johan Linåker, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden
Open Source Software (OSS) makes up a pivotal part of today's digital infrastructure. Like roads and bridges, the digital infrastructure requires continuous maintenance to avoid cracks and bumps that, in turn, can cause severe effects. Such maintenance, however, can not be taken for granted. Companies need to be aware of what OSS is used, or considered in the intake process. But what should one look for, and how? What can be done to mitigate, or address the risk of cracks and bumps arising? In this talk, Johan will answer these questions based on ongoing empirical research, as well as experience from the industry. More specifically, Johan will present how companies can analyze the health of the OSS projects, i.e., their ability to stay viable long-term and maintain the OSS. By analyzing the health, (potential) users of the OSS can evaluate whether to use or continue using the OSS. It can also enable them to proactively improve the health of an OSS project and thereby lowering the risk of vulnerabilities being introduced. The audience will be provided with practical examples of what aspects to consider to analyze health based on context and risk, how to set up a screening process, and how to work proactively in improving the health and sustainability of the OSS used.

The Force Awakens: Managing Millions of Kubernetes Clusters at the Edge - Di Xu, Tencent
The benefits and paradigms offered by cloud native, such as observability, loosely coupled systems, declarative APIs, robust automation and etc, have made Kubernetes an ideal go-to platform for the edge. And Kubernetes is extending to the edge rapidly. The challenge with the edge is to take all these learnings and benefits from Kubernetes and transfer them to the edge. How does a single/small organization manage thousands of millions of clusters and thousands of millions of applications running on disparate and disaggregated infrastructure without the need to juggle different management tools for each environment? In this presentation, they will bring in a novel engineering perspective to unveil the power of millions of Kubernetes clusters to the edge. Also they will share all the lessons learnt and practical tips & tricks on such massive clusters management. In the end, a benchmarking will be given.

Uncovering Community and Project Insights Through Data Driven Methods - Oindrilla Chatterjee, Red Hat
How do you assess and track the health of your project in an open source, data-driven way? Github repositories reveal crucial information about the project e.g. velocity, blockers, community health, etc. which can ultimately help guide the development of the project. In this talk, we show how we can get deeper insights into the software development process by creating a set of open source data science workflows that collect data about a repo’s PR’s, analyze them, and visualize key metrics on a dashboard. I will also show how to build and deploy ML models that can be used to supplement the project development process. Specifically, I'll show how to create these dashboards and services on an open source community cloud where data scientists get an environment for solving data science challenges without setting up the infrastructure and services. This also provides an environment where operations are open source, so that data scientists have full visibility into the platform and their workloads every step of the way. By the end of this talk, attendees would have learned how to use the set of ML tools to derive key metrics from their Github repos and use the open source tools for creating reproducible notebooks, models as services, building automated pipelines and dashboards.

Diversity in Open Source, an Asian Perspective - Masae Shida, VMware
Many open source communities struggle to achieve strong community participation from Asia despite the region representing 60% of the entire world population. Although there are numerous participants from India and China, the number is disproportionately low when compared with North America and Europe. An obvious reason could be time zones, however, as a Japanese woman who grew up and worked in Japan, and as a wife and a mother, it seems probable this could be explained by culture and other social barriers like language. Although we appreciate the benefit of diversity in open source, it remains challenging to have an optimally balanced community. Do we compromise by having some people in each region to convince ourselves that we’ve achieved a target? Or do we look for ways to overcome the barriers enabling real benefit from multiple perspectives? Many DEI categories are grouped together which removes our ability to identify areas needing improvement. Asia consists of 40 countries whose culture and languages are very different, and Asians who grew up in North America have different perspectives from those who grew up in Asia. Diversity is defined by a combination of multiple factors. Let’s look at our goals more closely and see what communities can actually do to bring real value.

A Month Off: Migrating a Robot Controller from the Proprietary INtime RTOS to Linux - Dirk Eibach, Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik GmbH
Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik GmbH is maintaining its own robot control software since the 1980s. At that time Intel was offering a Realtime Operating System called RMX to create some demand for their processors. Cloos was probably the first company using conventional PC technology to control industrial robots, and RMX was a perfect fit. Today RMX is called INtime and is licensed by TenAsys Corporation. It can be tightly integrated with the Windows platform which makes GUI development easy for people coming from that background. In 2021 there was a pretty interesting offer for the next Cloos robot controller platform hardware, but it was Linux based. As the controller software team at Cloos consists mainly of Windows developers, that was a tough call. But in 2019 a Linux nerd (our speaker) had joined the team and he suggested to do a study: take a month off from all running projects and evaluate what could be achieved in porting the controller software to Linux in that time. To his astonishment, everybody agreed. This is the story of that month. It is a story of technical and human challenges, a story of sweat and tears, a story of success and failure. And yes, there will be technical details, no worries.

Graphics: A Frame's Journey - Daniel Stone, Collabora
Modern systems have come a long way from waking up every 16 milliseconds to peek and poke into a framebuffer which was directly displayed to the user. A single image frame may begin in a camera, be pushed through an image signal processor, be sent through several layers of web browser for processing and using the GPU to add funny hats, then be sent simultaneously to a media codec to send to your friends, as well as onwards through the window system to your display controller, possibly with colour correction, alpha blending, and more, along the way. These systems are every bit as complex as they are poorly understood. In this talk, Daniel will attempt to answer all the questions you never knew you had, such as: is GBM really the Generic Buffer Manager? What's wrong with fbdev? How do I even allocate buffers? Why won't Wayland give me 1000fps on glxgears? If GPUs are so very fast, why does everyone tell me I can't use them because they're slow? And what do these window system people even do all day, anyway? The talk is aimed at anyone who wishes they understood the complexity of modern display pipelines, plans for future development, and how to develop applications & products that use the full capability of modern hardware at maximum effectiveness.

Improving Developer Experience with Backstage - Suzanne Daniels, Spotify
Onboarding is difficult, finding information can be a pain, collaborating across teams or domains is hard, and new tools and frameworks seem to pop up endlessly. This and other modern frustrations are causing friction in the day-to-day lives of developers. This friction is taking away pleasure, effectiveness, and will eventually result in bad code, people leaving or being burnt out. Investing in Developer Happiness is key, but where to begin? Should you build yet another portal? Implement that new DevOps platform? Try that Inner Source thing? In this session we're discussing how Backstage can help address these and other challenges and see it in action. Backstage is an open platform for building developer portals, and a popular CNCF incubator project.

What is the Big Deal with the Open Programmable Infrastructure Project? - Michael Lynch, Intel Corporation & David Wills, NVIDIA
Open Programmable Infrastructure (OPI) Project is a new project within the Linux Foundation, announced earlier this year. OPI aims to foster a community-driven, standards-based open ecosystem for next-generation architectures and frameworks based on Data Processing and Infrastructure Processing Units - a new class of cloud and datacenter infrastructure that is emerging into the marketplace. The objective of the project is to foster a community-driven, standards-based, open ecosystem for next generation architectures and frameworks based on IPUs, DPUs, or even switches.

The project is designed to facilitate the simplification of network, storage and security APIs within applications to enable more portable and performant applications in the cloud and datacenter across DevOps, SecOps and NetOps.

Explore the OPI community first hand by joining us. You will learn more about this project, the community and how you could participate and, even, contribute. This is an informal session where you will meet and mingle with members of the OPI community and other like-minded attendees!

A New CPU Frequency Control Mechanism on Linux - Ray Huang, AMD
AMD CPU platforms used ACPI based CPU frequency driver to manage CPU frequencies with switching only in 3 P-states for a long time. ACPI CPUFreq is very great driver to support frequency control on traditional AMD processors. However, for recent Zen2 and later CPUs, this approach is not very power efficient anymore and conflicts with AMD hardware dynamic power management unit. So, we introduce AMD P-State kernel CPUFreq driver early of this year that is using ACPI CPPC based fine grain frequency control instead of legacy only 3 ACPI P-States, and it is merged into kernel 5.17. Then we continue adding the CPUPower and AMD P-State tracer support in kernel 5.18. And we are in progress to add the related AMD P-State unit tests into kselftest framework. This is the initial work that we start to support new fine grain frequency control in CPUFreq subsystem, so we still have a long way to continue optimizing the new driver on all AMD recent CPU and APU platforms and adding more feature support including EPP (Energy-Performance Preference), Preferred Core, etc. in future. In this session, Ray will give the introduction of new fine grain frequency control mechanism and explain the details that cover the design, implementation, usage, existing issues, and future work for all AMD CPU users.

Truly Open Lineage - Mandy Chessell, Pragmatic Data Research Ltd
One of the most requested metadata use cases is lineage. This is is the ability to understand the origin of your data and the processing (reformatting, enrichment, merging, ...) it has gone through between the data's origin and your AI model. Lineage helps to build trust in your model since it shows you have used appropriate data. Many individual technologies provide some lineage support that covers its own processing. Some data catalogs provide proprietary ways to gather lineage from many sources. However this is expensive to implement and only makes the lineage information available through the data catalog. Now three open source projects from LF AI and Data have come together to create a truely open ecosystem for lineage. Egeria provides open metadata that describes the data sources, data structures, data profiling results and the data pipelines. OpenLinege provides the event mechanism that records each time a data pipeline runs. Marquez provides visualization for lineage. In this talk you will learn about: * What is lineage and how it is used * What makes lineage difficult to collect and maintain * How the open ecosystem for lineage works * How you can use lineage in your data science tools (using Jupyter Notebooks as an example)

Safe and Signed Git Commits with PGP - Thomas Qvidahl, Tietoevry
Working with any software project, chances are you need to be familiar with Git. And open source projects in particular, are open to contribution from anyone - even individuals with less honorable intentions. How do you know that the name and email address on a commit is legitimate? Sadly, it's easy to fake, and a momentary lapse of attention can allow an ill-intended contribution to slip through the barriers. Enter Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), and it's implementation Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG)! This is a public key cryptography protocol and software package that can help you ensure those commits are from the right person. And by cross-signing each other's keys, you can build a "web of trust" among your fellow contributors to further strengthen the bond. Git supports signing commits with PGP! In this talk we will explore a little bit of background in public key encryption and set up your very own PGP public key. Then we will look at the integration between PGP and Git in the context of signing our Git commits, and even configuring Git to know which repositories to sign and which should be unsigned.

OSPO Issues in a Conglomerate Company - Kazumi Sato & Hiroyuki Fukuchi, Sony Group Corporation
Sony Group is a company with business units in a wide variety of categories, including electronics, semiconductors, gaming, film, music and finance. Much of Sony‘s early work with Open Source was focused on its electronics business (which efforts was talked at OSPOCon 2021). In this talk Sato&Fukuchi would like to discuss the challenges that we faced spreading our Open Source program throughout Sony's other business units. Each business category has different products, technology, culture, and a unique approach to Open Source. While it is efficient to have some things in common, it is unreasonable for the entire group to have exactly the same programs. The electronics business, which develops consumer electronics products with embedded Linux, focuses on both contribution and compliance, while the film business focuses on contribution and interoperation of software assets, including open sourcing 3D animation tools and formats. The approach is to have an OSPO central hub around community experts for Open Source program and communications, and to share policies, education, and best practices within the group. In this talk, Sato&Fukuchi will describe how we are responding to the challenges by modifying our Open Source program and support for the different business categories.

Defining the Limits of Risk - Daniel Izquierdo, Bitergia
Supply chain discussions usually focus on source code related aspects. Even this call brings into context some of the well known issues such as "Countering Build Threats", "Source Code Level Problems", or "Dependency Threats". Although this is not specifically detailed in the call, there is discussion on the communities that maintain that software or what we can call sustainability of those open source projects, and there are initiatives either at the Linux Foundation or other Foundations willing to mitigate this issue. However, there is little evidence and discussion on community-metrics-related risk. This talk aims to hopefully open this discussion by presenting existing threats when measuring communities, and we could call as "Countering Community Threats" to any of the dependencies that may appear in your SBoM.

Encore Presentation: To RTOS, or not RTOS: That is the Question - Frédéric Desbiens, Eclipse Foundation
Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) have been a fixture of embedded computing for a long time and, more recently, IoT. Popular open-source options such as FreeRTOS and Zephyr support a wide range of hardware and provide features such as storage and networking. However, many open source projects aim to deliver many of the same features in a "bare metal" approach. In other words: they deliver frameworks that enable your applications to run directly on the hardware. Given this, which approach is right for your project? In this presentation, Frédéric Desbiens will explain the pros and cons of RTOSes and the bare metal approach. You will learn about the architecture and feature set of FreeRTOS and Zephyr in the process. You will also discover contrasting os-less frameworks such as Arduino, Espressif IDF, and Drogue IoT, which uses the Rust programming language.

Two Roads Diverged in the Observability Woods: I Took the E2E One - Prashansa Kulshrestha, Postman Inc.
In the past few years, we have seen rapid development in system designing where multiple services coordinate with each other to form a whole end-to-end architecture. Along with this, our testing methodologies have also improved by using end-to-end tests. What about observability though? End-to-end observability is still a dream for many organizations. How do we know which application is underperforming? What causes it to underperform? Is it taking other applications down with it? Which users are getting affected? It’s high time that we stop tailing logs or worse, deriving metrics out of these logs to understand our system’s bottlenecks. Application Performance Monitoring (APM) can help us here. It can not only provide you with the necessary metrics but also other benefits like understanding your application’s transactional behaviour via traces, visualising how your application communicates with external entities, etc. Do you want to know how your users are reacting to your application’s performance? Yes, that’s possible. In Prashansa’s experience of working with APM for the past year, she has done enough mistakes so that you don’t have to repeat them. With this talk, she wants to share how APM along with OpenTelemetry can help to debug problems before they occur.
