(Virtual) Konveyor: Replatform from Cloud Foundry to Kubernetes - Daniel Oh, Red Hat
With a focus on developer experience, Cloud Foundry was ahead of its time in providing developers with a platform based on a container-based architecture to build, deploy, and run stateless cloud-native applications. Showing its age and waning support, Cloud Foundry now presents several challenges and limitations to organizations, including heavy costs to refactor and modernize legacy applications to fit the Cloud Foundry platform and the lack of support for newer technologies. In this session, I’ll share the migration success story and practices of how the Konveyor project using the move2kube tool enables enterprises to overcome challenges and complete the Kubernetes native application platform for businesses planning to move away from Cloud Foundry to Kubernetes.

(Virtual) WASM + Confidential Computing, Secure Your FaaS Function - Xinran Wang & Liang He, Intel
Serverless allows developers to deploy functions to the Cloud platform and run them with no knowledge of the backend servers. Yet those developers must hand over the function code and data to the cloud providers, which raises security concerns, especially for highly sensitive applications. Confidential computing is an emerging technology focusing on helping to secure the program and the data in use. This effort enables encrypted data to be processed in a portion of protected memory while lowering the risk of exposing it to the rest of the system, even to the cloud providers. In this presentation, we will introduce a zero-trust Serverless platform using CNCF Serverless platform - Knative, WebAssembly, and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) provided by hardware. We will introduce how to safely ship function code and data into TEE, how to make remote attestation with an extended L7 protocol and how to start a running instance with WASM runtime in TEE when an end-users request arrives.

(Virtual) A WASM Runtime for FaaS Protected by TEE - Sara Wang & Yongli He, Intel
Confidential Computation focuses on securing the data in use, a crucial demand in cloud computing cases. Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is a hardware-isolated processing environment for applications, which is a good choice for cloud-native confidential computing. Inclavare (inclavare-containers.io), a CNCF project, is creating a cloud-native confidential computing container (CoCo), with a container runtime protected by TEE. However, CoCo is not the perfect solution. The cross-platform issue is a big problem. Even on the same X86 architecture, AMD SEV and Intel SGX/TDX, two TEEs are totally different. Other problems have network overhead, slow cold start, coarse workload isolation, etc. We will discuss these in the presentation. So in order to build a safe and flexible container runtime, HeWu proposes WebAssembly (WASM) runtime here. WASM is a universal compilation target for many languages. The bytecode compiled by WASM is very small, cross-platform, and cross-architecture, which fixes the problems above. Furthermore, the presentation will take WasmEdge to demonstrate the power of ‘Wasm+Faas+TEE’.

(Virtual) Don’t Trust Your Neighbors: Securing Pods via Scheduling - Michael Le, IBM & Sascha Grunert, Red Hat
No matter how much effort you put into securing your container, the mere presence of a vulnerable neighboring container may jeopardize your container’s security. That’s because containers share a highly-privileged host kernel and it may harbor vulnerabilities that can be exploited via system calls to escalate privileges and break out of containment (e.g., Dirty COW/Pipe vulnerabilities). So a container's security must also depend on the security of its neighboring containers and their system call usage, which you may not have any control over. This talk will present a way to curtail the impact of having insecure neighbors by using a new security-aware pod scheduling scheme (SySched) for Kubernetes that co-locate pods based on their system call exposure risk. Experimental results will show that even if such kernel attacks were successful, they would impact fewer pods (up to 48% less) and fewer nodes (up to 46% less) than when using the default Kubernetes scheduler. The talk will detail how the scheduling scheme works and how to deploy the scheduler plugin in Kubernetes. In the process, you will also learn how to use the community-developed Security Profile Operator to generate, store, and manage access to a pod’s system call profile which is key to the operation of SySched.

(Virtual) Spreading Apps, Controlling Traffic & Managing Costs in Kubernetes - Lukonde Mwila, AWS
Nobody likes the idea of unscheduled downtime, downgraded performance, or high costs due to unforeseen traffic demands. However, the solutions to these challenges aren’t always straightforward. Typically, the first response would be to spread your application for high availability (HA). However, you have to consider how traffic will be balanced in such topologies. How will you manage cross-zone or cross-regional traffic costs? Furthermore, some zones or regions may experience higher levels of traffic in comparison to others. How can you optimize your load-balancing strategy to match this? If that’s not enough, you also have to think about the underlying computing resources. Are you able to automatically scale your cluster to match the changing needs of your workloads with scheduling constraints like anti-affinity? Lastly, how will you manage costs and prevent compute overhead when scaling your cluster in different zones or regions? In this talk, Lukonde Mwila will walk through these challenges and share how teams can overcome them. He’ll also demonstrate how to use pod anti-affinity, Istio’s locality-aware load balancing, and Karpenter’s workload consolidation to address these issues.

(Virtual) Innovating with Toolchains in 2023 - Victor Manuel Rodriguez Bahena, Intel
Innovation is the fuel and power of open-source projects. To propel that innovation, every year the toolchain community focuses on creating new tools for open-source developers. This presentation aims to show some of the new GNU toolchains features for 2023. This year the Glibc project has added the capability to return high-quality randomness from the kernel through three new functions. At the same time, it has added a new function that allows a caller to release the memory of a dying process for better memory management of applications. The GCC compiler now has optimizations for five new x86 platforms, these optimizations enable ISA extensions for video codec, integer FMA, and Vector Neural Network Instructions based on INT8 among others. This presentation will show some examples in C code for developers to take advantage of these new ISA. GCC 13 will also have Address Sanitizer and Link-time optimization improvements. Having a better understanding of these innovations in toolchains allows developers to showcase the best of new platform architecture technology for users’ applications as well as boost the innovation and security of incoming projects.

In my session, I will show you some best practices I have discovered over the last seven years in building data streaming applications, including IoT, CDC, Logs, and more. In my modern approach, we utilize several open-source frameworks to maximize all the best features. We often start with Apache NiFi as the orchestrator of streams flowing into Apache Pulsar. From there, we build streaming ETL with Apache Spark and enhance events with Pulsar Functions for ML and enrichment. We make continuous queries against our topics with Flink SQL. We will stream data into various open-source data stores, including Apache Iceberg, Apache Pinot, and others. We use the best streaming tools for the current applications with the open source stack - FLiPN. https://www.flipn.app/ Updates: This will be in-person with live coding based on feedback from the crowd.

(Virtual) CUTLASS: A CUDA C++ Template Library for Accelerating Deep Learning Computations - Aniket Shivam & Vijay Thakkar, NVIDIA
At the core of Machine and Deep Learning lie different flavors of linear algebra computations like matrix multiply and convolutions. In the last decade, GPU computing solutions from NVIDIA have accelerated AI compute, with an overall gain of 50X to 200X via architectural innovations. While this has helped applications like ChatGPT and Github Copilot to become a reality, the developers have to learn to optimally utilize and customize GPU compute for their applications. In this talk we present CUTLASS, an open-source header-only CUDA C++ template library that has been helping programmers, since 2017, in implementing high-performance CUDA kernels across various generations of NVIDIA's GPU architectures. CUTLASS, which contains, optimized, production quality implementations of AI computations has been the go-to source for Tensor Core programming details. CUTLASS provides modular abstractions and building blocks to CUDA programmers who are eager to write their own CUDA C++ kernels to perform deep learning computations such as matrix multiplication, convolutions, etc. We expect audience members to gain actionable knowledge and insights about Tensor Core programming and in developing custom CUDA C++ kernels using CUTLASS that push the limits of performance on NVIDIA GPUs.

(Virtual) The Rise of Vector Databases - Lessons from the Milvus Community - Frank Liu & Charles Xie, Zilliz
The total amount of digital data generated worldwide is increasing at a rapid rate. Simultaneously, approximately 80% (and growing) of this newly generated data is unstructured data - data that does not conform to a table- or object-based model. Examples of unstructured data include text, images, protein structures, geospatial information, and IoT data streams. Despite this, the vast majority of companies and organizations do not have a way of storing and analyzing these increasingly large quantities of unstructured data. Embeddings - high-dimensional, dense vectors which represent the semantic content of unstructured data - can remedy this. Armed with this knowledge, it's clear that the mobile/IoT era necessitates a new type of cloud-native, fully distributed database purpose-built to store, search, and index large quantities of embedding vectors: the vector database. In this presentation, we'll introduce some of the interesting production use cases we've seen with Milvus - the world's most popular open source vector database. Additionally, we'll discuss pitfalls and challenges associated with integrating Milvus into a production data/ML stack. Finally, we'll wrap up with a discussion on ongoing community feedback and future plans for Milvus.

(Virtual) The Metaverse from Edge to Cloud - Why Open Matters - Tom Golway, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
The metaverse has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact as a society. The development of an open Metaverse will drive innovation, creating new economic opportunities, while enabling users to control their digital identity and assets. For the metaverse to reach its full potential, it must be built on open standards and principles that ensure interoperability, accessibility, and innovation. The complexity of the Metaverse involves the orchestration, processing, storage, and transportation of large datasets from edge to cloud. A heterogeneous infrastructure that integrates edge, cloud, networking, and data technologies will be necessary to support the various workloads and experiences in the Metaverse. Optimization for the Metaverse will require the underlying infrastructure to support plasticity – where the underlying physical infrastructure is enriched and presented to the platform as an optimized ecosystem based on service requirements. We will present the infrastructure challenges faced and latest innovations in the journey toward the Open Metaverse and thoughts on how and why open communities are critical to achieve the ultimate value that the Metaverse can deliver.
Collaborators on this talk are: Marcus Bonner and Jeroen Bronkhorst of Hewlett Packard Enterprise

(Virtual) A Lawyer and an Engineer Walk Into a Bar and Talk Open Source - Ravi Devineni & Shantanu Singh, Northwestern Mutual
Open-source software has become ubiquitous. A recent Gartner survey found that 90% of enterprises used open source and that 96% of codebases included some open-source software. The same survey also found that less than 50% of the companies have a formal open-source management program. There are several security, ethical, legal and compliance implications that create perceived hurdles that also create opportunities for creative collaboration between engineers and lawyers. At Northwestern Mutual, we pushed through the institutional challenges related more to the culture of how things have always worked in the past. This transformation developed through education, collaboration, and critical thinking to modernize how one company changed their perspective on building and using open source technology. Join us – As a lawyer and a technologist come together on stage to break it down and take you through the journey of a 160-year-old Financial Services company into the open-source wilderness.

(Virtual) Linux Kernel Tracing Using eBPF - Vandana Salve, Prasme Systems
In software engineering, tracing is a method to collect data for profiling and debugging. The objective is to provide useful information at runtime for future analysis. The main advantage of using eBPF for tracing is that you can access almost any piece of information from the Linux kernel and your applications. BPF adds a minimum amount of overhead to the system’s performance and latency in comparison with other tracing technologies, and it doesn’t require developers to modify their applications for the only purpose of gathering data from them. The Linux kernel provides several instrumentation capabilities that can be used in conjunction with BPF. In this presentation we talk about these different capabilities and show how the kernel exposes those capabilities in your operating system so that you know how to find the information available to your BPF programs. We are going to talk how tracing can provide you with a deep understanding of any system using eBPF.

(Virtual) Tutorial: Leveraging the OS CPU Scheduler to Write Real-Time MT Apps - Kaiwan Billimoria, kaiwanTECH
The Linux OS is powerful; in this tutorial session, you'll learn some aspects of this power, particularly, how the kernel scheduler can be leveraged to support the writing of (soft) real-time multithreaded applications (with C). This tutorial first covers the basics: the (real!) meaning of real-time, the state machine of a Linux process or thread, and then, at an overview level, the meaning of the various POSIX scheduling policies available on the system. The meat of this talk (and live demo) will be how you, as a systems / embedded app developer, can leverage the kernel by using appropriate Pthread and/or system call APIs to query and set the CPU scheduling policy and priority, at a *per thread* level of granularity! Powerful stuff... We conclude with an overview of the LF Real-Time Linux (RTL) kernel, how to apply relevant patch(es), configure the kernel for RT, and deploy it for use (with appropriately written RT apps), thus enabling the ability to use Linux as an RTOS. The agenda in brief: - What does real-time actually mean - The Linux process state machine - How Linux schedules processes and threads - The POSIX Scheduling Policies and what they mean - Setting policy and priority on an application thread - Demo MT app - Overview: making Linux an RTOS - Q&A.

(Virtual) Real-Time Multi-User State Management for the Collaborative Web - Matt Hayes, Wizards of the Coast
In this presentation I will introduce a novel approach to state management for web applications that require multiple, geographically distributed, collaborators to work together in real time. By bringing together concepts from (Web)RTC networking topologies, video game frame state, and client-side web application state management, we will see that it is possible to build and synchronize a real-time multi-user application state model that is fast, server-authoritative, optimistic, and self-healing. Applications for this technique include web games, VR/AR experiences, collaborative drawing and document editing, and more!

Lightning Talk: Given the Choices We Have: The Power of Allyship - Fatima Sarah Khalid, GitLab
Allyship means supporting marginalized groups while speaking out against discrimination, prejudice, and oppression. Being an ally goes beyond just offering support, it entails taking action and leading by example. This lightning talk explores the role of allyship in creating a more inclusive community by taking the audience on a journey inspired by the invisible knapsack. Participants will consider the very real impacts of marginalization and learn ways to be an ally. They will leave with inspiration on how they can make a positive impact by speaking up and advocating for others.

Lightning Talk: A New, Open Standards, Open Source, Software Project for All Accelerators - Charles Macfarlane, Codeplay Software
The AI and HPC space is seeing exponential growth, with projects like ChatGPT and GROMACs attempting to squeeze more and more performance from accelerators such as GPUs. The challenge for software developers is that they are currently constrained by proprietary programming models, and this is stifling the choices they can make about their hardware platforms.  Developers today are often locked into Nvidia GPUs because their software uses a proprietary programming model called CUDA, and it’s time to build an open alternative. The oneAPI project has been created to bring together an open specification and open source software that today enables developers to write software using standard C++ code and deploy to multiple vendors of GPUs. This project is evolving rapidly and the whole community of hardware and software developers are invited to contribute to this project.  This presentation will introduce how it is possible to write multi-target software using the oneAPI project, and how everyone can contribute to making this project available for all accelerators in the future.

Lightning Talk: An eBPF-Based Automated Performance Tracing System for Cloud Users - Yifei Ma & Hao Xiang, Bytedance
Volcengine is ByteDance's public cloud infrastructure. The Volcengine's monitoring service collects and aggregates a set of metrics from VM instances. The service publishes near real-time CPU, memory, storage, and network metrics. While these metrics provide an overview of a virtual machine's status, they are all based on VM granularity. When a customer's VM suffers performance degradation, more often, those metrics are not sufficient to help diagnose the issue. We developed an eBPF-based monitoring agent running on both older and newer versions of Linux distributions with minimal overhead. Compared with other cloud tracing systems, our system provides innovative metrics: detailed metrics of the TCP/IP layers e.g., stack walking latency, handshake latency, transmission pace at socket granularity; per-process file system and block IO latency/throughput/error stats; per-process memory leak, page cache miss rate, and OOM-killed processes; and per-process system call counts and latency.

Lightning Talk: The Role of the Open Source Program Office (OSPO) in Securing the Software Supply Chain - Jessica Marz, Intel Corporation
OSPOs are typically responsible for implementing and enforcing policies and procedures related to the consumption and production of OSS. We believe this existing framework can be extended into the security realm to work with OSS developers and vendors to ensure that their products meet security standards and to conduct regular audits and assessments of the OSS supply chain to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. This presentation will explore the challenges facing the OSS supply chain and the ways in which OSPOs are uniquely suited to help address them. Additionally, OSPOs can be effective advocates for OSS supply chain security policies in both the government and private sectors. We will share how Intel’s OSPO is working effectively with other groups to define and implement these policies.

Lightning Talk: You Can’t Do Data Mesh Without Governance - Lauren Maffeo, Author of "Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up"
If you work with data, you've likely heard about data mesh. Done well, data mesh lets teams access, develop, and manage data autonomously. It also gives your data stewardship team an easier way to keep your data secure. But there’s a catch! Data mesh works only if you’ve done the hard work to create a data-driven culture and can automate that culture’s standards.  This lightning talk makes the case for designing data governance standards before implementing data mesh architecture. It explains how governance ensures that all data is formatted, standardized, and discovered against equal standards. These standards give everyone assurance that the data they use is controlled for quality, which is the backbone of successful data mesh.

Lightning Talk: Kubernetes Cluster Interactions Simplified with K9s - Arka Bhattacharya, Solo.io
If you are running Kubernetes clusters, or if you are deploying your applications on Kubernetes clusters, chances are high that at some point you started with "kubectl" CLI. As time progressed, maybe you have created aliases to reduce running redundant commands and save some precious time. You might also be using kubectl auto-completion to make life easier. If you want to take your cluster interactions to the next level, and if you love your terminal window, k9s is "the tool" for you.

In this talk, Arka would love to share some of the K9s features that he absolutely loves and uses regularly. Some of these are:
  • Running K9s on a multi-terminal-window, to view the state of multiple Kubernetes clusters on the same view.
  • Observing live deployments.
  • Switching between cluster contexts.
  • Scaling a set of Kubernetes Deployments together.
  • Deleting a set of resources together.
  • Easily run "kubectl get" equivalent commands using simple keystrokes.
  • Viewing the decoded value of a Kubernetes secret with just one hotkey.
  • Viewing live logs of pods.
  • Viewing resource utilization with metrics server.

Lightning Talk: GitOps Sustainability with Flux and arm64 - Tamao Nakahara, Weaveworks
Honeycomb has experimented with and discussed the improved performance and cost savings by moving from x86 to arm64. In particular, at AWS re:Invent in December 2022, when Amazon announced the AWS Graviton2 processor that uses arm64, Liz Fong-Jones at Honeycomb explored the changes needed to make workloads reliant upon native x86 and their toolchains to work.

Flux users looking to gain these types of performance and financial benefits were excited to know that Flux supports arm64 and many started to make the move. They have been reporting back the cost savings and sustainability- especially as the larger Cloud Native community prioritizes environmental sustainability through initiatives in the CNCF GitOps WG as well as the new Environmental Sustainability TAG.

If you’d like to do the same, this talk will cover the specific steps to recompile your workloads to work with arm64, and best practices shared from Flux users to make sure that you gain essential GitOps benefits with the switch.

Fewer Moving Parts: Simplify Service Mesh Operations with Istio Ambient Mesh - Jim Barton, Solo.io
Istio is the most widely used service mesh platform in the world for large-scale production deployments. In September 2022, Google and Solo.io announced the release of Istio Ambient Mesh to the community. Ambient offers a revolutionary data-plane architecture that allows service mesh users to ditch sidecars. It slashes operational complexity and enables incremental mesh adoption, all while reducing cost and computational overhead within a service mesh. Injected sidecars can be replaced by two new components. First is a node-level zero-trust-tunnel (ztunnel) that provides mTLS and Layer-4 capabilities. A service-account-level proxy called a waypoint leverages Envoy to deliver Layer-7 capabilities. This talk will help you understand both the why and how of Istio Ambient Mesh. It includes a demo showcasing the new capabilities, including on-boarding new services without sidecars and mixing Ambient with traditional sidecar-injected services. It will also provide pointers to further no-cost educational opportunities and user certification options.

Exotic Runtime Targets: Ruby and Wasm on Kubernetes and GitOps Delivery Pipelines - Kingdon Barrett, Weaveworks
In the delivery ecosystem, devs have a great many choices to make regarding environment. In the past, the top-bar choices were limited to mainly two or three axes: language runtime, operating system, architecture. Now we can further consider these other new operational overheads: Kubernetes, Sandboxing, Browser targets! For a long time choosing a browser as a runtime target meant that choice for language would be severely limited; one could only choose from among the languages or runtimes that browsers could accept (the list kept getting shorter until it was practically only JavaScript! Flash? Java? Forget it, all gone). Wasm is the new binary instruction format for a stack-based VM, and portable compilation target, to save us all from writing only JavaScript forever. Wasm binaries are sandboxed code modules that can interchangeably target either browsers or servers at runtime, and we can use our familiar languages that a growing number are trending towards adding support for Wasm in the language core, including Ruby and Python. But does this mean we can just bring our Ruby to the browser and forget about Kubernetes forever, or is there more to consider before we start the party?

How Do You Know You're Done - After a Security Fix? - Kate Stewart, The Linux Foundation & Peter Brink, UL Solutions
Requirements are at the heart of designing a system with safety considerations. When building the system, having a detailed and accurate record of all the components and build information is necessary for safety analysis. When a component vulnerability fix comes in though, how do you know the system conforms with the safety claims after applying the fix? This talk will go into some approaches for leveraging the SBOM data to improve the automation and confidence in the analyis necessary to know you’re done.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Building Better Communities - Lian Li, Loft Labs
We've all seen it: Conferences fail to provide a diverse line-up, get called out publicly, and speakers bail in fear of backlash. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. More often than not, they reveal a failure of leaders to create a diverse and inclusive community in the first place. It’s not enough to have the right boxes checked. Marginalized folks also need to feel safe to share their experiences. A clear set of values, Codes of Conduct, and programs aimed at underrepresented folks, are all tools that can help. Ultimately, however, a community is made up of people, and it is on us to reflect on our behavior, resist the urge to go for the option that makes us comfortable and do better. In this talk, I want to discuss how we can take action beyond calling people out on Twitter to build something that will truly benefit everyone. --- I have given this talk once before but had to rush it so I couldn't get to many parts I had prepared. Since then I have cut down the introductory part of the talk to focus more on action and how-tos

Making GPU Resets Less Painful on Linux - André Almeida, Igalia
Graphic cards are probably the most complex piece of personal computers nowadays, not only by its hardware but also for its huge software stack, from drivers to ray tracing games. Bad shaders, buggy drivers, faulty hardware, ... there are many occasions for the a GPU to hang and reset. Giving that the programs that it runs are Turing complete, we can't assure that everything will work so resets are expected. What we can do as developers is to assure that the user experience on those incidents will be smooth as possible. To solve this kind of problem, all the stack needs to be work side by side. This talk will explore some scenarios where GPU resets happen, how different DRM drivers recover from it and what's in the roadmap to make it better for users.

Socialising the Elephant with the Rest of the Animals - Integrating Big Data Using Egeria Open Metadata - David Radley, IBM & Jürgen Hemelt, Atruvia AG
Egeria is an LF AI and data graduated project that provides open metadata and governance for enterprises - automatically capturing, managing and exchanging metadata between tools and platforms, no matter the vendor. Egeria solves the problem of integration, by providing an open way to represent all aspects of the information management eco system. Using Egeria, the metadata is not centralised into one repository, but stays where it is, being shared as required and then exposed as appropriate to different consumers, This session explains how Egeria can help you integrate Big Data (the elephant) with the other animals (other types of information like events, APIs and databases). 3 main types of Big data integration will be covered: 1) Apache Atlas via an Egeria repository connector 2) Hive Metastore via an Egeria repository connector 3) Spark via Open Lineage (another LF AI and Data project) The session will then talk about the value that you can realise, once you have a distributed view of the metadata across different technologies.

Sponsored Session: Fairness in Machine Learning: From Theory to Practice - Alex Karsten, GitLab
Machine learning has become integrated into our daily lives. No matter where we turn, there are apps, products, and features using machine learning to enhance the user experience. But as machine learning becomes more accessible, we must not forget to consider its potential unintended consequences. In this talk, Alex Karsten will explore the complex and multifaceted issue of fairness in machine learning. Alex will discuss various ideas and perspectives on how to ensure that machine learning models are fair and just, while also recognizing the challenges and limitations that exist. What does "fairness" mean in the context of machine learning? How can we measure fairness, and what metrics should we use? What are some potential sources of bias in machine learning, and how can we address them? What role can regulation and policy play in promoting fairness in machine learning?

Clear Your Own Path to Open Source Maintainer - Martin Hickey, IBM
How many times have you heard the phrases "chop wood and carry water," "look for the good first issues," "triage the issues queue," or "introduce yourself to the community"? Open Source projects throw around these phrases as if they are the panacea for getting from contributor to maintainer. They can only help if you know what they mean! Demystifying the path to leadership in Open Source is imperative to the industry because we can’t grow if we aren’t welcoming the next generation of contributors to our projects with clear and inclusive language. Here are some better questions to ask when approaching a new Open Source project: Are there any issues in the “first issues” queue? How do I introduce myself to the community? What contributions are needed most by this community? How do I climb the community role ladder toward leadership? People need guidance and support when climbing from the valley of becoming a new contributor to the zenith of maintainer. In this presentation I cover tips and trick on how to conquer that journey. Through practical examples of how I became a Helm maintainer, I hope that more people will realize it is within their grasp to become maintainers in Open Source projects. And the reality is that these projects NEED you.

So What is Next for OSPOs in 2023 and Beyond? - Nithya Ruff, Amazon
OSPOS began as OS strategy offices in the late 1990s at Sun, SGI, HP etc. and grew stronger in the 2000s with the hyperscaler OSPOs - Google, Twitter, Facebook etc. And with the establishment of the ToDo group, OSPOs are the norm to drive an organization's open source work across the world. It is not just for technology companies or large enterprises, in fact governments and universities are fast creating OSPOs. I will discuss the shape of OSPOs today and what occupies our attention or should get our attention today. I will discuss the rise of the developer experience organizations in companies and partnership with Security and Policy. And OSPOs are reaching out beyond the organization for collaboration with governments, foundations and universities. OSPOs are no longer a compliance and risk mitigation organization, they are now a key partner in innovation, strategy and developer experience. I will draw upon my experience Amazon's OSPO and my decade long experience running multiple OSPOs.

Decarbonizing Our Global Supply Chain Infrastructure: The Role (and need) for Open Source & Distributed Ledger Technology - Sherwood Moore, Hyperledger Foundation & Bertrand Rioux, Two Ravens Consulting
This session will introduce the role (and opportunity) that Open Source and Distributed Ledger Technology have to play in measuring GhG emissions across our supply chains to decarbonize global production infrastructure. It will share challenges of tracking supply chain scope 3 emissions data, including the current state in which reporting is siloed, estimation based, and with low-to-no transparency of data provenance. It will explore how regulatory and market signals including gov. regulation, consumer demand, capital markets, and green finance indicate an increasing impact on corporate profitability and how this is creating new demands for trusted, transparent, and dynamic emissions reporting with granularity to the product level. The session will explore how Open Source Distributed Ledger Technology can deliver an interoperable layer of emissions data to enable market and regulatory forces to act in unison to decarbonize supply chains at a more rapid rate. It will conclude with an introduction to the mission of the Hyperledger Climate Action and Accounting Special Interest Group (CA2SIG), the tools under development (net emissions token network, secure identifier solutions, and emissions data channels) and opportunities to get involved in this Open Source community.

Modern Programming Language Abstractions for Cloud-Native Application Development - Sameera Jayasoma, WSO2
Cloud platforms have disrupted the software development landscape, presenting new challenges for developers. However, modern programming languages have emerged with higher-level abstractions that simplify cloud-native application development. This talk will delve into the following subjects: - High-level abstractions such as typed services, clients, and network interactions. We will explore how these abstractions streamline application design and development. - A type system design that works as a schema for network data and a system to describe the types within the application. - Sequence diagrams are a powerful tool for visualizing and documenting code, especially when dealing with network abstractions. Some languages can represent code as sequence diagrams and vice versa. - Visualizing application architecture helps developers comprehend the application and identify potential issues at an early stage. We will discuss how abstractions allow us to visualize the architecture showcasing how the components connect over the network through these abstractions. Join Sameera Jayasoma for an in-depth tour of modern programming language abstractions and discover how they shape the future of cloud-native applications.

A Guide to Dapr: Open Source APIs & SDKs for Developers - Alice Gibbons & Samantha Coyle, Diagrid
Simplify writing complex distributed apps - seems impossible, right? Devs today face immense pressure to write secure, scalable, resilient, portable & fault-tolerant apps making this a big ask. Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) alleviates the challenges of building cloud-native, containerized apps by providing APIs & SDKs (.Net, Java, JS, Go, …) that abstract away the complexities of microservice development. Dapr sidecars take care of many challenges devs would otherwise have to write in their app code such as service discovery & invocation, observability, and resiliency, all while allowing developers to write in the language that makes the most sense for their use case. As the 10th largest CNCF project, Dapr is a trusted OSS technology focused on empowering application developers backed by a vibrant developer community. Dapr is run in smaller containerized systems and at scale in Kubernetes and is trusted in production by companies like IBM, Alibaba Cloud, & Microsoft. This presentation will cover the goals of the Dapr OSS project, how its APIs enable developers to focus on their business logic and demo a few of the capabilities it has for building scalable, containerized applications.

Reproducible Multi Element System Composition with Linux, Xen & Zephyr - Philipp Ahmann, Robert BOSCH GmbH
Looking at system architectures for complex safety-critical systems, similarities can be observed across various industries. Beside a rich OS (such as Linux), typically an RTOS and virtualization or containers are involved. However, when it comes to prototyping such systems, the existing guidelines are limited and reproducing demos is hard and time consuming. Compared to traditional (safety-critical) systems, created by strictly following the v-model, existing open source software can boost the system creation & understanding by fast and iterative prototyping. The ELISA project’s systems working group focuses on creating such an exemplary system architecture using Linux, Xen and Zephyr in a reproducible form. This includes step-by-step documentation for users on different expert levels and various entry points to approach these systems. It also includes picking up new requirements such as a system SBOM and a strong interaction as well as collaboration with other open source projects. Beside the state of the previously mentioned activities, the talk highlights other ELISA working groups focusing on Linux Kernel, processes, tools, and use cases. A basic understanding about challenges and chances of using open-source projects for safety-critical workloads rounds up the talk.

Lean in: Software Developer Diversity and Inclusion (SDDI) - John Mertic, The Linux Foundation & Cynthia Coupe
“Openness” has always been a core principle in open source. It’s designed to grant everyone with the ability to use, update and distribute source code for any purpose. Unfortunately, open doesn’t always mean everyone feels welcome. Like the broader tech industry, open source has a diversity problem. Though anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute – many under-represented groups like women, minorities, parents, non-technical contributors, members of the LGBTQ+ and more have shared stories of the challenges they’ve faced in open source communities. The Linux Foundation believes that people of vastly different backgrounds, nationalities, orientations, and identities create stronger communities that produce better outcomes and more robust technologies. Re-launched earlier this year, the Software Developer Diversity and Inclusion (SDDI) project is dedicated to improving this. The mission of SDDI is to discover, evaluate, and promote best practices from research and industry to increase diversity and inclusion in software engineering. In this session, attendees will learn more about SDDI, its goals and how to get involved.

WebAssembly: From the Browser to... Everywhere? - Matt Butcher, Fermyon
WebAssembly (Wasm) started as a browser technology. But like many successful technologies before, it has outgrown its origin. In this talk, we’ll look at the four big domains where WebAssembly is taking off.

The first is the browser. And while this is perhaps an obvious candidate, it is also the source of some inspiring work. Next is IoT and embedded. WebAssembly’s runtime profile is great for constrained devices. WebAssembly is a great technology for plugins and extensions as well. And I happen to be most excited about the fourth domain: cloud and edge.

The open source world behind Wasm is booming. Most of the top 20 languages now support WebAssembly. There are nearly a dozen WebAssembly runtime implementations. And even the standards bodies are vibrant with activity. We’ll look at how this tooling is shaping the direction of the Wasm ecosystem in its various domains.

We’ll finish with a look into the future. What’s coming next? And how quickly can we expect Wasm to become an every-day technology?

Btrfs at Scale: How Meta Depends on Btrfs for Our Entire Infrastructure - Josef Bacik, Meta
Inside Meta all of our services run on our shared pool of machines that are spread across the entire world. These services are containers that can easily be deployed, ramped up, and scaled down on demand. This entire system is backed by Btrfs. A base image is deployed onto every machine in the fleet that contains the basic runtime environment for these containers, this is done with Btrfs's send/receive feature. The services themselves are packaged using send/receive. At container startup time this base image is snapshotted to create a pristine runtime environment for the service, this happens instantaneously, drastically cutting down on the startup time for services. We use the built in compression offered by Btrfs to drastically increase the SSD lifetimes in our fleet by reducing the amount of data written to the disk, saving huge amounts of money in storage costs. We use the asynchronous discard feature of Btrfs to eliminate all discard related latency issues that exist on most SSD's. Without Btrfs, operating a container based fleet at scale would cost us significantly more time, cost of SSDs, and a lot of flexibility. This talk is an updated version of one I've given before. The scale and integration of Btrfs has drastically increased in the last two years.

Getting ML Right in a Complex Data World - Vinodhini Duraismy, Treeverse
Machine learning workflows are not linear, where experimentation is an iterative & repetitive process between different components. What this often involves is experimentation with different data labeling techniques, data cleaning, preprocessing & feature selection methods during model training, just to arrive at an accurate model. Quality ML at scale is only possible when we can reproduce a specific iteration of the ML experiment–and this is where data is key. This means: capturing the version of training data, ML code & model artifacts at each iteration is mandatory. However, to efficiently version ML experiments without duplicating code, data and models, data versioning tools are critical. Open source tools make it possible to version all components of ML experiments without the need to keep multiple copies, and save you storage costs as well. In this talk, you will learn how to use a data versioning engine to intuitively and easily version your ML experiments and reproduce any specific iteration of the experiment. This talk will demo through a live code example: - Creating a basic ML experimentation framework - Reproducing ML components from a specific iteration of an experiment - Building intuitive, zero-maintenance experiments infra All with open source tooling.

What's New, ModelMesh? Model Serving at Scale - Rafael Vasquez, IBM
Kubernetes is a natural choice for deploying AI models. However, concerns regarding model management often arise along with the need to maximize cluster resources while minimizing cost. Typical approaches may leverage Istio and Knative through a single-model-per-container paradigm, but it’s quite easy to deplete cluster resources and hit pod or IP address limits when dealing with many models at scale. Fortunately, there is a way to tackle these obstacles: ModelMesh, the multi-model serving backend for KServe. With a small control-plane footprint, this open source solution offers a way to host a myriad of models while employing a distributed LRU cache to intelligently load and unload models to and from memory based on current usage. Moreover, ModelMesh provides routing capabilities that balance inference requests between copies of a model. Recently, ModelMesh delivered a new major release (v0.10) as it continues to integrate itself as KServe's multi-model serving backend. In this talk, one can expect to learn how AI models can be deployed on Kubernetes in a scalable manner for high-performing, high-density model serving and experience growing capabilities such as newly-supported leading model runtimes such as TorchServe and support for runtime-sharing across namespaces.

Synthetic Reality: How Artificial Intelligence will Shape the Metaverse and Everything in It - Matt White, Berkeley Synthetic
In the Metaverse AI will dominate, whether used for autonomous AI agents, animating characters, building synthetic avatars and objects, instantly transferring the style of objects, synthesizing physics and natural phenomena or creating digital assets and virtual worlds simply from text descriptions. The use cases are nearly limitless and will continue to grow as neural methods continue to rapidly evolve. But what are the implications of AI in The Metaverse? Will it create a power imbalance? Will it fuel the creator economy? Can AI be used to protect privacy, security and safety in the Metaverse? Will toxic behavior be amplified through AI? How can we use AI in The Metaverse for good? This session will touch on the applications of AI in the Metaverse including the use of generative deep learning and deep reinforcement learning as well as conventional discriminatory deep learning. It will also touch on the potential ethical and legal issues along with the business opportunities for those who embrace AI in The Metaverse.

Contributor Growth Strategies for OSS Projects - Dawn Foster, VMware
Maintaining an open source project is hard work that often extends out over several years, and maintainer burnout is common within open source projects. It can be hard for already overworked maintainers to balance the day to day work required to keep the project running while investing in activities to increase future sustainability. The good news is that we have best practices, resources, and templates available to make it easier for maintainers and projects to build a contributor strategy that leads to a strong and growing community for an open source project over the long term. This talk will help you apply those resources in your project. This talk will have several major sections. 1) Discussion about the major factors that impact contributor growth. 2) Developing and executing on a long-term contributor growth strategy, including governance, new contributor onboarding, and mentoring. 3) Using contributor ladders to promote contributors into leadership positions as more maintainers to share the workload can reduce maintainer burnout over time. 4) Metrics for measuring project sustainability. The audience will walk away with a better understanding of how to grow their contributor base and build a community around their open source project.

Things I Wish I Had Learned Earlier About Containers: Lessons from a Seasoned Linux Admin - Alex Juarez, Red Hat
Starting my career in the pre-virtualization era, I'll admit containers passed me by at first. There was much to learn and work on in the bare-metal space, and containers were not a focus for some time. Containers have undeniably impacted the industry, and my learning journey started at square one. This session will begin with the perspective of a systems administrator who needs to understand the role containers can play in an environment. We'll touch on a wide array of topics: - Linux technologies that make containers happen - Different container runtimes - Container networking - Container storage - Multi-container managemnet - Building a custom container The attendee will gain an understanding of container topics that go beyond what a container is and focus on how containers integrate into an environment.

Container Registries, No Longer Just for Containers! - Vincent Batts, Azure
As pervasive as containers are now, is also the notion of moving these images around. Container registries facilitate much of the cloud-native world as we know it. There is plenty to improve, and ways to misuse, a registry. One thing is for certain, registry infrastructure and security model are already tightly woven into your story. As these standards work toward improving and eliminating the need for misuse, let's talk about the benefits of extending the use of registries.

Safety-Certifying Open Source Software: The Case of the Xen Hypervisor - Stefano Stabellini & Senthil Kumar Rajagopal, AMD
Safety is important to software everywhere human lives are at risk. In these environments often safety-certifications are required to ensure that the quality of the software is high enough to minimize the risk of harm to humans. Safety-certifications such as ISO 26262 come with a series of requirements and processes that sometimes clash with well-established Open Source software development practices. How do we reconcile safety-certifications with Open Source? This presentation will provide an answer to that question. Taking Xen as an example of an Open Source project with a rich 15+ years history, this presentation will explain the best way to match Open Source activities with safety-certification requirements. It will discuss the role of the upstream community and downstream vendors in achieving compliance with ISO 26262 and IEC 61508. It will go through the changes to Xen Project processes already underway and the ones planned for the future to align the Xen hypervisor with safety-certifications. The talk will cover MISRA, traceability, testing, etc., and the latest updates from the Xen FuSa working group.

Community Diversity and Inclusion as Business Metric (and Not Just a Feel-Good Tactic) - Tamao Nakahara, Weaveworks
Developer Relations, Community management, and other departments continue to grow in tech companies, and there’s a unique opportunity to connect business metrics with diversity and inclusion tactics. While Jonathan Ashong-Lamptey outlines 3 existing business models for diversity and inclusion (1) discrimination and fairness, 2) access and legitimacy, and 3) integration and learning), a commercial model for open source community growth, arguably, falls beyond these three. As commercially-backed OSS community managers, our growth metrics provide us with a unique opportunity for commercially-backed diversity and inclusion efforts that aren’t just to feel good or look good. This talk will break down how this business model helps to prioritize psychological safety in communities that span countries, cultures, time zones, languages, and a myriad of long-trained biases around race, ethnicity, gender, age, ability, and more. We’ll also cover practical steps to produce that psychological safety especially in challenging text-based communications. This talk also reviews Ashong-Lamptey’s definitions of Employee Resource Groups around the members’ shared interests, values, or identities, and how you can leverage those concepts to build trust and good will in your communities.

Weaving the [X]BOM Fabric - Erica Dretzka , Department of Defense
Today's supply chains are composed of a hybrid of proprietary and open-source elements extending geographically, temporally, technically, and organizationally. Consumers struggle to evaluate compliance with security standards, licensing regulations, and vulnerability analysis. Recent motivating examples include malicious code infiltration into SolarWinds' Orion, remote code execution vulnerabilities and Apache lLog4j, and the discovery that a component in the F-35 fighter jet originated from China halting delivery. Legacy Bills of Materials (BOMs) remain relevant for modern supply chain illumination of all asset types, thus the proposed eXtensible Bill of Material ([x]BOM) pattern to digitize BOMs with the [x] representing a type of BOM. The resulting [x]BOM Fabric flattens the narrative between boardroom and edge operations, superseding domain specificity via malleable metadata patterns and data structures. Working across the supply chain, the authors are prototyping [x]BOMs, thus demonstrating universality from definition to implementation, and, ultimately, germaneness across mission use cases, at scale, in space, and across the supply chain, enabling AI and M&S analyses, threat vector predictions, and decision causality analysis. It scales for flexible research and analysis.

Applying the Principles of Product-Led Growth to Your Open Source Project - Emily Omier, Emily Omier Consulting, LLC
Open source projects naturally follow a product-led growth strategy — in other words, maintainers are counting on users to find the project, start using it, love it and bring in other team members to use the project, all without any push from the maintainers. But how well do you, as a maintainer, understand what you should be measuring to see if that product-led growth strategy is working? How do you figure out if you’re doing well or doing poorly? In this talk, Emily Omier will talk about the principles of product-led growth, how they translate to open source projects and how knowing those principles can help maintainers better optimize their projects and the documentation around the project based on their growth goals. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to take to understand what matters to their users, how to see where they need to improve and how to get the project to evangelize itself.

Zero Trust: Getting to Step One..and What to Do When You Get There - John Kindervag, ON21T & Jonathan Flack, AFRL
In May of 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order (EO) 14028, specifically recommending Zero Trust security practices in his mandate to Federal Agencies to enhance cybersecurity.

To date, many vendors have profited from amplifying complexity when selling Zero Trust, however, the simple fact is that a basic understanding of the core principles of Zero Trust enable even moderately skilled IT practitioners to easily implement straightforward Zero Trust architectures.

The specific nature of your environment, differentiators in the workload requirements, or unique collaboration requirements, do not alter this reality, or change the strategy when implementing Zero Trust. This is because Zero Trust is a bottom up approach that custom crafts bespoke security architectures around each element in an organisations’ technology stack, physical, or virtual, by putting in place the requisite Layer 7 controls to enforce least privilege access through the application of Kipling Method Policy.

The guidance, whether from DISA, CISA, NIST, or contributing experts at organisations like the Cloud Security Alliance, is all based on the same fundamental principles, but the most important thing to understand is that Zero Trust is NOT a single architecture, but a series of guiding principles that inform your architectural decision making process when designing from the bottom up.

In this talk we detail, in simple terms, the fundamentals of zero trust. We then explain how to effectively strategize a migration of an initial workload, and then strategise future steps.

Build and Manage Wasm Applications using Container Tools - Michael Yuan, WasmEdge
Wasm has emerged as a secure, portable, lightweight, and high-performance runtime sandbox for cloud-native workloads such as microservices and serverless functions. We will show how familiar container tools can be used to develop and share Wasm applications.

Today, there is a large ecosystem of battle-tested tools to create, manage, and deploy Linux container apps in both dev and prod environments. Developers want to use the same tools to manage their Wasm applications to reduce the learning curve and operational risks. More importantly, using the same tools would allow Wasm containers to run side by side with Linux containers. That enables the architectural flexibility to run some workloads (eg lightweight, stateless, transactional, scalable) in Wasm containers, and other workloads (eg long-running, heavyweight) in Linux containers.

In this talk, Michael will cover how to create, publish, share, and deploy real-world Wasm applications using Docker Desktop, Podman, containerd, and various flavors of Kubernetes. I will demo a complete microservice consisting of multiple containers of different types to showcase how Wasm containers work side by side with existing Linux container apps.

First Steps with Observability: OpenTelemetry and You - Nočnica Mellifera, TelemetryHub
The dreaded 3AM phone call: the site is down. What's the difference between just restarting the server hoping for the best, and really understanding what's going wrong? Observability. Observability isn't an end goal or a box that you can tick. It's a design goal for any complex cloud architecture, and like any design goal it's a whole lot easier if you consider it from the very beginning. Nočnica has been working adding observability to systems for many years, and she'll talk about how open source tools can get you detailed answers to the mysteries of a production web stack. We'll cover: 1. Why Observability matters 2. Observability is more than just logging 3. Taking the first steps: Open Telemetry 4. Where to send your data

Securing Your Infrastructure as Code Pipeline - Jesse Sanford, Autodesk
The meteoric rise of platform engineering has led to a proliferation of self-service and on demand infrastructure as code solutions. The benefits to product team productivity through reduced cognitive load have been widely published. Yet lesser known, but no less important, are the security and compliance benefits achieved through a uniform platform interface. This talk will show that by producing IaC with a strong separation of concerns between platform engineers and their product counterparts, common fundamentals and non-negotiables can be baked in. These guard rails can be enforced through the use of static analysis tools and RBAC allowing for walled garden ecosystems of known good IaC. In this talk, Jesse will cover the capabilities Autodesk is building into their cloud deployment platform, using tools such as Open Policy Agent, in-toto, Sigstore’s suite, Crossplane and more. Jesse will detail how Autodesk is structuring their CI and CD systems to produce IaC pipelines that are inspectable, verifiable and ultimately trustable. From cryptographically verifiable IaC package signing to static analysis of IaC plans to deploy time policy enforcement, these open source tools and patterns can be used by anyone with the thirst to create a platform that increases velocity and safety!

Seapath, the Configuration Project to Build a Platform/Cluster that can Run Real Time Critical Applications - Aurélien Watare & Florent Carli, RTE
To improve the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid, there is a need to simplify the connection process, which currently takes place at substations. These substations play a crucial role in the intelligence of the grid, but their functions are limited in terms of evolvability due to hardware constraints. The virtualization of these systems can enhance their adaptability and increase evolvability, but they remain critical real-time systems that require precise data acquisition with a precision of 100 microseconds and a response time within a few milliseconds, along with a high level of availability. SEAPATH is an open-source configuration project under the LF_ENERGY umbrella aimed at building an industrial-grade platform to host real-time critical applications. This presentation introduces the various features of SEAPATH, including virtualization, real-time operations, clusterization, time synchronization, tooling, and more.

Federated Learning: Unlocking the Values of Discrete Data for Enterprise - Henry Zhang & Layne Peng, VMware
Federated learning is a collaborative machine learning technique that allows multiple clients to train an algorithm without sharing raw data. This technique enables enterprises to collaborate, break data silos, and mine the value of discrete data distributed across different organizations while complying with relevant privacy protection laws and regulations. The FATE and OpenFL frameworks are the two widely used open-source industrial-grade federated learning frameworks that have been applied in various industries, such as finance and healthcare, to solve complex problems. However, the adoption of federated learning across organizations raises new challenges in orchestration and lifecycle management. In this talk, we will introduce the concept, principles, and typical use-cases of federated learning, followed by an introduction to the FATE and OpenFL frameworks. We will then discuss the challenges of orchestrating federated learning in a production environment and introduce the FedLCM (Federation Lifecycle Manager) project, a unified experience for managing different federated learning frameworks in a multi-cloud environment. This talk will be beneficial for those who are interested in federated learning and want to learn about the available frameworks and their orchestration challenges.

Fostering Trust via Explainable ML Inferences - Dalmo Cirne, Workday
Machine Learning is exploring the space of including explainability to inferences as a mechanism to either increase the perceived value (i.e., increased trust in the results) or, at a minimum, to facilitate the conversation with customers by focusing on specific points, such as “why” that particular inference was sub-par. In this presentation we will examine the dynamic of trust between a service provider (Trustor) and service consumers (Trustees) and provide a practical, quantifiable framework to implement it in practice. Trustors are required to be trusting and trustworthy, whereas trustees need not be trusting nor trustworthy. The challenge for trustors is to provide services that are good enough to make a trustee increase their trusting level above a minimum threshold for the establishment and continuation of service.

An Open Source, Cross-platform Communications Layer for the Metaverse - Russell Dsa, LiveKit
Humans are slowly becoming cyborgs. Computers have gone from desks, to pockets, to wrists, now to eyes and perhaps one day, brains. Where the Internet was the interlinking of desktop computers, the Metaverse will be the interlinking of people themselves. Like a fabric pulled over the real world, Metaverse applications will be synchronous, multiplayer, and real-time. If the Internet’s software ecosystem, the Web, runs on HTTP, which network protocol will power the software ecosystem in the Metaverse? Our bet is WebRTC.

WebRTC is open, robust and battle-tested over the last decade. But it’s not perfect: inconsistent implementations, low-level APIs and nonstandard signaling translates into a lot of bare-metal work for the application developer.  

In this talk, we’ll take you through LiveKit’s open source client stack — a custom build of libwebrtc mated to a shared Rust core, called by platform-specific SDKs like Unity or iOS. We dive into our SDK design principles, signaling protocol and interfaces which power real-time features like spatial audio, screen sharing, live chat and stream permissions in Metaverse applications including Gather, Decentraland and Portals.

Panel Discussion: Managing Open Source at Scale in an Era of Heighten Security Concerns - Jeffrey Borek, IBM; Nithya Ruff, Amazon; Rao Lakkakula, JPMorgan Chase; Andrew Aitken, Wipro
Most all involved in software development today know that open source is a critical part of the modern software supply chain. However, there are still significant portions of the ecosystem that don’t fully appreciate the security issues associated with many popular open source projects. It was just over a year ago that the log4shell critical vulnerability in the widely used logging tool log4j disrupted software supply chains and many a developer’s holiday plans. Since then open source security is increasingly in the news and in policy conversations. What will policymakers likely do in the coming year, and how can we as leaders in the open source ecosystem help them make better decisions? This panel of OSPO and OSS ecosystem leaders will discuss how they are getting involved in educating, collaborating and driving OSS security work at their organizations.

Zero Trust Best Practices in Government and Federal Industries - Lili Davoudian, Microsoft
Implementing zero trust in the real world involves adopting a comprehensive, multilayered security model that assumes users, devices, and applications are untrusted and potentially compromised. The scope of zero trust increases with the proliferation of data sources in an enterprise and the data that’s generated from these sources. In the federal and government space, zero trust is particularly important given the high value of information and assets being protected.
 
In this presentation, we define and show the key components of implementing zero trust using industry best practices, including:
  • Identity and Access Management
  • Network Segmentation
  • Micro-segmentation
  • Continuous monitoring
  • Data protection
  • Automation and orchestration, including AI/ML

We all know those OSS codebases; old, brittle, and getting in the way of adding new features and onboarding new collaborators. "I know!" you think, "Let's rewrite this using shiny new tech! It'll solve all our problems!"

Whoa there. Sometimes rewriting is the best option, and sometimes it's not. Even when it is, successfully rewriting a codebase is quite difficult in practice.

Based on personal experience, this talk will walk you through the planning and implementation process to actually finish that long-desired rewrite.

Playing the Matchmaker: Linking Students and Mentors While Strengthening Academic Open Source Projects - Emily Lovell, UC Santa Cruz
Undergraduate students want mentors; they also want innovative projects to work on that enhance their technical skill set. Open source projects are a great source of mentors for these students and provide a unique opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience. If properly matched with competent mentors, these students seed academic contributor communities and feed into the talent pipeline for other open source ecosystems. Starting as a mentor organization with the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) in 2018, UCSC's Center for Research in Open Source Software (CROSS) saw just how powerful effective matchmaking could be – both for students and for the mentors working with them. In order to increase the impact on academic open source projects, CROSS (and later the UCSC OSPO) expanded its work through the Open Source Research Experience (OSRE) bringing in more sponsors interested in supporting academic OS projects. This presentation looks at what the OSRE team has learned from hands-on mentoring efforts and provides practical ways others can play the matchmaker. During this session the speaker will also discuss how these programs, both academic and non-academic based, can benefit mentors and students, increase community diversity, and improve project impact and sustainability.

Scaling Climate Data for FinTech with an Open Source Data Mesh - Erik Erlandson, Red Hat, Inc.
The Open Source Climate (OS-Climate) community is building an open data platform that supports data ingestion, processing and quality management for highly disparate data sources such as corporate climate reports, business entity graphs and climate impact models. In order for this global project to succeed, OS-Climate must achieve traditional scalability of compute and data, but that alone is insufficient. The community must also scale the operation of its application deployments and data pipelines. Furthermore it must implement scalable access to human-searchable metadata so users and developers can find these resources and learn how to use them. In this talk, Erik Erlandson will introduce OS-Climate and tell the story of how this open community is evolving a fully open data mesh built with open source software including Trino, Open Metadata, Airflow, DBT and Open Data Hub. He will explain how the community is developing data products using data-as-code principles and leveraging data federation architectures to minimize costly and unmaintainable data redundancies. The audience will learn how to build a modern data mesh with open source software, using open data principles, and will be inspired to contribute new tools and data products to the OS-Climate community.

Building the Multi-Cluster L7 Load Balancer - Dominic Kim & Shawn Jang, NAVER
An IDC-level failure can result in a catastrophic disaster for a cloud-native application. It is the biggest challenge to make applications resilient to such a global-scale disaster. As organizations are increasingly shifting to multi-cluster Kubernetes environments in multiple IDCs, the need for an L7 load balancer running across numerous clusters and IDCs comes to the fore. Many traditional load balancers have not been designed to work in such an environment; they do not consider multi-clusters or multi-IDCs, and they are not resilient to cluster-level or IDC-level failures. Also, load balancers often need to be programmable with APIs, provisioned dynamically on demand, and horizontally scalable. We have built a dynamically provisioned L7 load balancer in 14 Kubernetes clusters in 5 regions(KR, US-West, US-East, SG, and JP). All functionality of the load balancer can be programmatically controlled using APIs. And it provides a global routing feature based on the locality of clients. In this session, we will share the multi-cluster challenges to build an L7 load balancer that is resilient to an IDC failure, how to design a programmable L7 load balancer in asynchronous Kubernetes environments, and DevOps challenges to manage and maintain data types that are backward-compatible.

The Next Frontier in Open Source Java Compilers: Just-in-Time Compilation as a Service - Rich Hagarty, IBM
For Java developers, the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is key to improved performance. However, in a container world, the performance gains are often negated due to CPU and memory consumption constraints. To help solve this issue, the Eclipse OpenJ9 JVM provides JITServer technology, which separates the JIT compiler from the application. JITServer allows the user to employ much smaller containers enabling a higher density of applications, resulting in cost savings for end-users and/or cloud providers. Because the CPU and memory surges due to JIT compilation are eliminated, the user has a much easier task of provisioning resources for his/her application. Additional advantages include: faster ramp-up time, better control over resources devoted to compilation, increased reliability (JIT compiler bugs no longer crash the application) and amortization of compilation costs across many application instances. Rich and Harry will dig into JITServer technology showing implementation details, how it can be deployed in containers, demonstrate its advantages compared to a traditional JIT compilation technique and offer practical recommendations about when to use this technology.

Software Part Catalog Management Is a Prerequisite for Successful SBOM Creation - Mark Gisi, Wind River
There are increasing demands placed on embedded device and IoT manufactures to deliver a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) that represents a list of all the software components (software parts) from which their devices are comprised. A part can be an application, library, software package, container and/or an entire Linux runtime. The effective management of these parts is a requirement regardless of whether one is generating SBOMs for license compliance, security assurance, export controls, or safety certification. Creating a SBOM requires a manufacturer to 1) define, 2) identify, 3) store and 4) retrieve core data about each of the 1000s (if not 10,000s) of software parts they use (often across multiple products). We present an open source solution, data model and workflow that enables manufactures to maintain a software parts catalog for all their devices. Once this is achieved, the generation of SBOMs using industry standards such as SPDX becomes both seamless and cost effective.

Secured I/O in the Cloud with NVMe-Over-TCP - Hannes Reinecke, SUSE Linux
NVMe-over-TCP is ideally suited for I/O transport in cloud environments as it doesn't require any specific hardware, and the necessary credentials are stored within the filesystem, allowing for easy migration of the OS. However, the credentials are just a simple identification string (the NVMe Qualified Name) transmitted in plaintext over the wire, so it's quite easy for anyone to assume another identity by just using this string. This is especially crucial in a cloud environment as a tenant will have no control over the underlying network and must assume that hostile environments are present. With recent updates to the NVMe-over-Fabrics specification it's now possible to utilize a Diffie-Hellman CHAP protocol to safely exchange and validate endpoint credentials, and TLS encryption can be used to encrypt the entire traffic. In this presentation I will give an overview over the implementation and challenges of DH-CHAP the upcoming TLS encryption for NVMe-over-Fabrics. Additionally I will give a short demo presenting the advantages of these technologies.

Understanding the Legal Context of AI - Van Lindberg, OSPOCO
Within the past six months, there have been multiple lawsuits accusing GitHub CoPilot, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and Midjourney of copyright infringement or other problems. It's just a matter of time before other ML-based services are sued as well. So what does someone building or using an ML model need to know about the current state of the law? Right now this is a fast-moving area of the law. There are no black-and-white answers. But this session will dive into the technical details of how models are trained, what models contain, and how they perform inference and generation to help people understand the issues and risks. As part of this session, we will address: - What is the legal basis for creating, training, and distributing models? - Who-if anyone-is the author of generated content? - What is in a model that is IP? Does it preserve "expression" in a meaningful sense? - Can we license models the same way we do software?

A Vision of FOSS @Mercedes-Benz - Wolfgang Gehring, Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation
At Mercedes-Benz, we decided that we don’t want to “just use FOSS”, but to fully embrace all aspects of it. This means we needed a dedicated Open and Inner Source strategy and an Open Source Program Office – but first we had to define what it really means to “embrace FOSS”. Come with me on our journey which we started more than 6 years ago. Let me show you how we are transforming Mercedes-Benz into a FOSS-savvy company who builds upon the Mercedes-Benz FOSS Manifesto as its cornerstone. We will touch upon our internal FOSS trainings and our FOSS sponsorings; and we will look at what we learned, what the crucial points were in implementing the strategy, and what we wish we had already known at the beginning.

Adapting to the New Era of Social Platforms in Open Source - Fatima Sarah Khalid, GitLab
The social media landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, jeopardizing open source communities' ability to connect, share, and collaborate with users and contributors. Communities that built outreach, engagement, and recruitment strategies with particular platforms in mind are discovering they'll need to adopt new tools and new tactics. Community managers are also faced with growing and adapting to new processes. However, the rise of platforms like Mastodon, Discord, and Discourse represents significant community-building opportunities. This session will examine recent changes to major social media platforms and assess the impact of these changes on open source community engagement strategies. Participants will learn about the benefits of a federated social media model for fostering collaboration and transparency. They will review the differences between rented and owned channels and explore strategies for adapting to change by utilizing new platforms for building communities that are more diverse and, therefore, stronger. With these new opportunities, open source communities have the potential to thrive and grow in new and exciting ways.

Keynote: Building Bridges: The Power of Community in Open Source Container Runtime Tools - Phil Estes, Principal Engineer, Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Upstream contributions are always an investment. They’re an investment not only in a particular project but an investment to a broader community and even the industry. In this keynote, Phil will talk about AWS’ ongoing upstream investments in the container space, covering everything from the OCI specifications through to runtime components like container and BuildKit. Our latest contributions include Finch, an open source container developer tool that is a distribution of many of these same runtime projects we have been investing in for years.

Phil’s talk will explore the reasons why investing in these vendor-neutral projects brings value that spans from the developer’s laptop all the way to cloud-scale Kubernetes. We believe that this collaboration in upstream projects like containerd and the OCI are supporting millions of users and benefitting the industry as a whole. Amazon could never achieve the same impact by developing proprietary software or single vendor open source. Phil will describe the value in this broad collaboration and invite attendees to participate and contribute in the exciting space of container runtime tooling.

Improving Containers Isolation in Kubernetes - Cosmin Cojocar, Adobe
Kubernetes Security Profiles Operator(https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/security-profiles-operator) is a project which aims to make it easier to use security profiles such as SELinux, seccomp and AppArmor in Kubernetes to enhance containers security. Tailoring and deploying dedicated security profiles is a prerequisite for any Kubernetes workload which requires increased container isolation. This is especially important in a multi-tenant cluster executing containers owned by the users. In this talk, we will provide an introduction to security profiles operator project, including several examples. Also we will explain how it leverages eBPF to make creation of custom security profiles easy. Finally, we will conclude with some lessons learned at Adobe from using security profiles operator for containers isolation.

Migrating Mission Critical Workloads from Mainframe to Open Source - Seshu K Guddanti & Venkat Mopuri, U.S Bank
Banks traditionally have used mainframes for running mission-critical loads such as managing financial transactions and customer management. The banks trusted mainframes to run mission-critical due to reliability, data consistency, security, and performance. Recently, U.S. Bank migrated workloads to open-source distributed systems due to high operating costs and the necessity for the rapid addition of new features.  

U.S. Bank moved workloads from mainframes to Cassandra. The streaming solution (Spring boot, Kakfa, Spark) synchronized data between Cassandra and the mainframes in less than 500 milli seconds. Using this solution U.S. Bank (5th largest bank) able to move to 60% of requests to the new solution and reduce the mainframe utilization. The entire new infrastructure was based on open source and had to earn the bank's trust regarding reliability, data loss & consistency, security, and performance. 

In the talk, we would like to present the challenges and learnings in proving open-source-based solutions to match the gold standard of the mainframe in being mission-critical in terms of resiliency, data consistency, scale and performance. We also want to show how open-source exceeded expectations in cost savings, scale, and performance.

Hidden Differences: How to be Inclusive When you Don't Know - Cynthia Coupe, OARS
This presentation will focus on best practices and strategies for inclusiveness of your team from the lens of neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, etc) minds.

Workplaces and managers are being asked to be all inclusive for their workers, but what does this mean? How can you be inclusive if you don't know there is a difference? Sometimes we have employees who don't even know they are neurodivergent, so how do we navigate this in the workplace to be inclusive of all people, whether or not their differences are hidden, known or unknown? How can we create an environment where everyone is supported if we don't even know what who or what we are supporting?

This presentation will address these issues and provide some guidance as to how to make an inclusive workplace, what inclusive attitudes are and why this is important for everyone.

Reducing the Kernel's Slab Allocators: Progress Report - Vlastimil Babka, SUSE
For many years, the kernel has offered the choice of three different slab allocators - SLAB, SLUB and SLOB. There is an ongoing effort to remove all but one of them. The SLOB allocator has been already marked as deprecated for the 6.2 kernel version. The talk will describe how we got here, what are the differences between the three allocators and why it's desirable to reduce them to a single one, namely SLUB. The aim is also to report the latest progress on the topic, which should be discussed at LSF/MM just days before the conference. It's possible that there are still workloads that perform better with SLAB than SLUB and it might be necessary to first improve SLUB to accommodate those workloads better, in order to avoid regressions. The topic is a continuation to the talk at Linux Plumbers Conference that has started the whole effort. The difference is that the background can be discussed more in-depth, while the Plumbers and LSF/MM session is rather a developer discussion. Another difference is that the latest progress since Plumbers can be reported.

Homomorphic Encryption in the Open Source World - Aakanksha Duggal, Red Hat
There are over 5 trillion megabytes of data on the internet, and private information and data from phones and laptops are all over the internet. We often tend to accept the privacy policies of various websites without even looking and hence causing a transfer of information to the world. However, some websites and platforms allow you to anonymize your personal information and still allow these websites to make inferences and analyze the data via Data anonymization. Using this capability of securing and ensuring almost encrypting personally identifiable data in a dataset, we can make the data live in the open source world. Such is the concept of Homomorphic Encryption, it allows us to eliminate the tradeoff between data usability and privacy, and keep it safe, secure, and private even in the most untrusted environments, like public clouds or external parties. In this session, we will cover what is Homomorphic Encryption and how this can change the outlook on Open Source Data. We will also demonstrate the intersection of AI and how holomorphic encryption can enable multi-party data sharing.

OpenFL: A Federated Learning Project to Power (and Secure) Your Projects - Ezequiel Lanza, Intel
OpenFL is a Python 3 framework for Federated Learning. Designed to be flexible, extensible and easily learnable tool for data scientists is a community supported project that enables organizations to collaboratively train a model without sharing sensitive information, originally developed by Intel Labs and the Intel Internet of Things Group. The team would like to encourage any contributions, and aims to be community-driven. It employs narrow interfaces and allows running all the processes within Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) to provide confidentiality of data and models, integrity of computation, and enable attestation of compute resources. To protect information while still leveraging ML models to automate scan analysis, Intel Labs and UPenn used data from over 71 medical institutions to apply and test the efficacy of federated learning for brain tumor edge detection. https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_49fa703c82f3582cf6fc2f8361247b8e/intel/news/2022-12-05_Intel_and_Penn_Medicine_Announce_Results_of_1593.pdf With FL hardware and software, sensitive data can be secured at the source, while the AI model still benefits from a larger data set.

Online Identity with Verifiable Credentials and ZKPs Using High School Math - Stephen Curran, Government of British Columbia
Online identity doesn't have to be stuck in today's surveillance paradigms. Privacy-preserving verifiable credentials built on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) can be game changers for digital identity and trust. Hyperledger AnonCreds is an open source implementation of verifiable credentials (VCs)--digital versions of the paper credentials we use daily to share information about ourselves. AnonCreds (Anonymous Credentials) extend the VC model using ZKPs to include important privacy-preserving capabilities that can enable online trust without tracking. ZKPs allow you to prove something is true to another party without conveying any additional information. The classic example is proving (not just claiming) you are over the age of 19 based on your date of birth without actually revealing your date of birth. In this session, we'll provide an overview of the AnonCreds project, dive down (but just to a high school math level) into the magic of ZKPs, and show how privacy-preserving online identity solutions can be enabled with the ZKPs found in the AnonCreds specification and implementations. We'll cover how ZKPs are used in AnonCreds, run some peer-to-peer agents to see AnonCreds in action, and discuss how verifiable credentials can play a key identity role in the Metaverse.

Don’t Love It to Death: Best Practices for Downstream Use of Project Trademarks - Daniel Scales, The Linux Foundation
Many open source projects would love to have a large community of adoring users who publicize how great the technology is. But even well-intentioned users can do harm when using the project name and logos to promote the project or their own offering that leverages the technology. Taken too far in a wrong direction, such promotion can alienate other community members, confuse contributors, and possibly invalidate the trademark rights altogether. In this session, Daniel Scales will explore some best practices for downstream use of project trademarks—beyond simply obeying the law and the project’s own guidance (although that will be covered, too). The session will also explore how projects can help keep their downstream users on the right path.

The FLOSSbok Project: Defining a Body of Knowledge About Open Source - Anthony I Wasserman, Carnegie Mellon University - Silicon Valley
The goal of the FLOSSbok project is to develop a comprehensive description of the various topics associated with free, libre, and open source software. The Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) serve as models for this project. The intent of this effort is not to replace the vast arrays of printed and electronic materials related to FLOSS, but rather to provide both newcomers to open source and experienced professionals with a guide to that material. FLOSSbok includes brief descriptions of specific topics, along with links to relevant published and online materials where one can explore those topics further. The materials cover technical and business topics. At present, there is an initial detailed outline, available at FLOSSbok.org as a WordPress document under a Creative Commons license. Along with gathering new material, the current phase is to create an Editorial Advisory Board and to identify editorial leadership for each major topic area, and recruit volunteers to contribute content. The overall goal is to provide a resource for those who want to learn about open source, as well as for people developing related courses and educational materials.

Dev-Driven Automated Deployments Like a Cloud Native Pro (Even if You’re a Beginner) - Juozas Gaigalas, Weaveworks
This talk shows two exciting demos right from an IDE. The first is for the app developer in VS Code, kicking off a complex deployment in Kubernetes, with canary capabilities, and compliant and secure policies all in place. That app developer doesn’t have to wait in long queues for the Platform team to manage the request. The dev can also execute this deployment without needing to know what’s under the hood or being a Kubernetes expert. You execute the deployment and get back building great apps, being innovative, and helping the team be competitive. The second demo is for the platform team on how to set up this type of capability for internal customers. The talk will show how to set up the deployment using an open source GitOps extension for VS Code, Kubernetes, and other tools for deployments that are scalable, secure, and policy-driven. Moreover, the talk will cover how to make these capabilities self-service so that the platform team doesn’t have to manage each request manually. By the end of this talk, App Devs will have a tool to increase their development velocity, and Platform teams will be able to automate these processes so that they aren’t bogged down with manual services, maintenance, and fires.

Lessons Learned from Code.gov: The U.S. Federal Government’s Open Source Program Office - Joseph Castle, SAS Institute, Inc. & Sara Cope, Salesforce, Inc. - Heroku
In 2016, the U.S. federal government issued the Federal Source Policy: Achieving Efficiency, Transparency, and Innovation through Reusable and Open Source Software. The policy called for the creation of Code.gov, which included an open source program office (OSPO) and technical platform for harvesting and hosting federal agency source code and open source software (OSS). In this presentation, you will hear from the former Director of Code.gov, Dr. Joseph Castle, and the former lead engineer, Sara Cope, about lessons learned over a four-year period, from policy inception through implementation. They will share lessons related to aspects of standing up and managing the OSPO, educating federal agencies or large organizations about source code management, working with agencies to cleanse code to publish as OSS, creating a community with government, industry, and academia, and creating and managing the technical platform. Examples of robust OSS projects that garnered substantial communities and contributions will be provided.

Panel Discussion: Open Source Supply Chain Security - Are Containers the Biggest Blind Spot? - Lisa-Marie Namphy, CockroachDB; Liz Rice, Isovalent; Josh Bressers, Anchore; Ayse Kaya, Slim.AI
Supply chain security has taken center stage recently due to zero day attacks such as typosquatting, and hijacking introduced via third-party ecosystems. Publicly facing open source resources and containers are not immune to such attacks, on the contrary, they may be one of the biggest blind spots we have. It has become clear that software supply chain can quickly become the weakest link in our security ecosystem, and containers are particularly problematic due to their popularity in developer workflows, where oftentimes developer velocity and updates lag behind the speed at which container vulnerabilities are introduced. Join container security industry experts Liz Rice, Ayse Kaya and Josh Bressers with Lisa-Marie Namphy moderating, as they unpack security fractals, SBOMs, the container security landscape and everything else open source developers should be concerned about when leveraging publicly facing resources in today's modern engineering toolchains. Join with questions and you'll come away from this session with good practices and tips for managing your open source supply chain hygiene.

The Importance of Developer Tooling to Make Open Source More Secure by Default - Brian Behlendorf, Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF)
One important aspect of the Open Source Software (OSS) community’s collective security response should be to create developer tooling. Such tooling makes it easier to write secure software by default and reduces the burden on maintainers. Research by the OpenSSF and Linux Foundation have shown that maintainers often benefit from better developer tooling, particularly when they might not otherwise have bandwidth to focus on security. Examples include CI pipeline tooling, tools such as Sigstore for package signing and verification, and efforts such as automated vulnerability scans and remediation. Part of the OpenSSF’s Alpha-Omega Project, “Omega”, also works on applying automated security analysis, scoring, and remediation guidance to maintainer communities of the “long tail” of open source projects. There is a lot of potential for the community to improve this as a whole: for example, we could create CI tools to make it easier to integrate fuzzers or static analysis tools into pipelines. This session will discuss existing initiatives in this space and ideas for potential future directions of security tooling, as well as ways to get involved in these projects.

Otel Collector: The Swiss Army Knife of Observability - Chris Featherstone & Shubhanshu Surana, Adobe
OpenTelemetry Collector has solved a fundamental problem which many engineering organizations have been struggling with for past many years.  Adobe like many other companies struggled with a complex observability architecture. We being users of multiple different observability tools had to maintain separate apps to capture metrics, logs and trace data.  How did we solve it:  We would like to share our journey of adopting the Otel Collector within Adobe. We will talk about the different exporters and processors we are using for sending the data to different backends. We will describe how easy it was to build an authentication extension for otel collector for authentication of metrics & trace data. Finally, we will discuss our future plans with the Otel Collector and how we see it benefiting us in the long run.  Benefits to Attendees:  As more software development teams adopt OpenTelemetry and implement all the different observability signals in their systems, it is always helpful to know how the Otel collector can help them in this journey. With this talk we would like to share how OpenTelemetry simplified our complex environment, and help other teams do the same.

Scaling the Security Researcher to Eliminate OSS Vulnerabilities Once and for All - Jonathan Leitschuh, Open Source Security Foundation/Linux Foundation
Hundreds of thousands of human hours are invested every year in finding security vulnerabilities with relatively simple fixes. These vulnerabilities aren’t sexy, cool, or new. We’ve known about them for years, but they’re everywhere! The scale of GitHub & tools like CodeQL (GitHub's code query language) enable scanning of vulnerabilities across hundreds of thousands of OSS projects, but the challenge is how to scale the triaging, reporting, and fixing. Simply automating the creation of thousands of bug reports by itself isn’t useful, and would be a burden on volunteer OSS maintainers. Ideally, the maintainers would be provided with not only information about the vulnerability, but also a fix in the form of an easily actionable pull request. When facing a problem of this scale, what is the most efficient way to leverage researcher knowledge to fix the most vulnerabilities across OSS? This talk will cover a highly scalable solution - automated bulk pull request generation. We’ll discuss the practical applications of this technique on real-world OSS projects. We’ll also cover technologies like CodeQL & OpenRewrite (a style-preserving refactoring tool created at Netflix and now developed by Moderne). Let’s not just talk about vulnerabilities, let’s actually fix them at scale.

Is ChatGPT (and Other AI) the Enemy of Diversity? - Quiana Berry, Red Hat
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives. BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities are often disproportionately affected by the negative consequences of AI. Through a combination of research, personal anecdotes, and examples, I will demonstrate that AI has the potential to improve the lives of BIPOC individuals, but also highlight the proactive steps we must take as a community to ensure that these systems are fair, unbiased, and inclusive. I will also invite the audience to co-architect solutions. Key takeaways from the speech: Understanding the impact of AI on BIPOC communities and the need to overcome existing biases and discrimination. Communicating the potential benefits and risks of AI for BIPOC communities and the importance of building a more equitable future for all.

Target Audience: AI professionals, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of AI and social justice.

The audience will leave with a better understanding of the impact of AI on BIPOC communities and the steps that can be taken to create a more equitable future for all. Additionally, the audience will be motivated to take action toward creating inclusive and fair AI systems.

Cadence: The New Open Source Project for Building Complex Distributed Applications - Ender Demirkaya & Emrah Seker, Uber
Cadence is a powerful new open source tool addressing many of the challenges around building and operating complex distributed applications – namely, ensuring their durability, availability, and scalability. Developers grapple with convoluted systems when building long-running business processes, which require tracking complex states, responding to asynchronous events, and communicating with external dependencies which may or may not be reliable. Because these solutions require difficult maintenance and commonly suffer from availability issues, developer productivity is often sacrificed to prevent their collapse. Session attendees will understand how open source Cadence abstracts and eliminates this burdensome complexity by offering a fault-oblivious stateful code platform. Cadence functions by preserving an application’s entire state in durable and independent virtual memory. Any workflow interruptions that would normally put availability at risk can be easily caught up and replayed using that stored application state. This makes Cadence particularly valuable to dev teams leveraging microservices-based architectures requiring fault tolerance, as well as teams with applications relying on multi-step workflows that run concurrently, and those leveraging third-party APIs.

Introducing Chapel: A Programming Language for Productive Parallel Computing from Laptops to Supercomputers - Brad Chamberlain, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
Opportunities for parallel computing are everywhere, from laptops with multicore processors and GPUs to commodity clusters, the cloud, and supercomputers. Yet even as parallelism becomes more ubiquitous, performance-oriented parallel programming remains challenging, and over time has arguably become even more so. This talk will introduce Chapel, a programming language that supports code that is clear and concise, yet whose performance and scalability competes with or beats traditional approaches like Fortran/C/C++, POSIX threads, MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, etc. Recent applications of Chapel in Aerodynamics, Data Science, and Atmospheric Research will be presented. Attendees can expect to leave the talk with an understanding of Chapel’s key features and their uses for students, hobbyists, and scientists who would benefit from scalable, parallel computations.

The Evolution of the Open Data Ecosystem - Ranadip Chatterjee, Google UK Ltd
Most of the first two decades of this century marked the rise of the open source big data processing systems - bringing a huge relief from vendor lock-ins and sometimes extortionate licensing terms experience in the earlier 3 decades. However, having lived through the initial bonhomie of these systems, large data organisations have got themselves into a complex spaghetti of numerous independent open source components that need a village to manage and slows pace of delivery of new features. To address this, new approaches like data mesh, open standards and open data APIs are emerging - collectively referred to as the open data ecosystem. In this talk, Ranadip will explore how the evolution of this data ecosystem can be leveraged to break the complex spaghetti that is now threatening to stifle the pace of turning data into a revenue-earning asset. In particular, this session will uncover * The underlying principles involved returning value out of data, * How complex management in operating a mish-mash of "open" systems reduces velocity of feature delivery, * Benefits of the Open Data Ecosystem in reducing friction and removing bottlenecks * Further optimisations provided by cloud providers

(Averting) Dystopia: Learning from the Current Metaverse Citizens to Prevent Disaster - Layl Bongers, CELPHASE
Our industry is full of lofty goals and promises of new opportunities of working in the metaverse. Some consider this inevitable, some consider this overblown, and some consider this dystopia. Some, however, consider this their daily reality, and they're pretty happy with it... most of the time. Join Layl in an exploration of the much overlooked current citizens of the metaverse. The many content creators and internet personalities that build the backbone of the current and next generation of online content, the industries that support them, and more importantly, why their fans care. Listen to the harrowed tales that make up their daily work schedule, the issues they're facing, and why they're deeply worried about the dawn of what we call "the metaverse". But, they are in many ways living what we are working towards. If we listen to the issues they face right now, we can learn from it and build a better future. Let's look into this crystal ball, and imagine a better metaverse. Man. That is a lot of anime.

Panel Discussion: Finding the Right Comms for Your Community: Exploring How Tech Platforms Influence Culture - Sophia Yang & Dave Clements, Anaconda; Sarah Kaiser, Microsoft; Nyah Macklin, Suborbital; Jocelyn Matthews, DevRel Collective
Have you ever had a question about a OSS project, but felt like it didn’t really merit opening an issue? Wanted to see if others would be interested in trying to reproduce a bug, but didn’t want to … well bug anyone? Informal communication platforms like async chat or ad-hoc video calls can be extremely helpful to projects of all shapes and sizes. With the right tools and moderation, these spaces can become a wonderful place to have technical discussions as well as foster community culture. This panel discussion will focus on questions community managers may consider when selecting and implementing communication platforms. Panelists are community managers that each found a different solution that worked for their community. Panelists have direct experience running community platforms like Slack, Discord, Matrix, Zulip, etc. Audience members will gain a better understanding of what can be involved in establishing, building, and maintaining successful online communication platforms for their communities. Bring your questions.

Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program - Michael Fix & Carol Huang, Stripe, Inc.
We already know this: the open-source ecosystem needs further monetary investment from the companies that benefit most from it. Likewise, companies say they want to participate in these initiatives, but among many competing priorities, funding open source can be a difficult thing to pitch and initiate, let alone grow. This talk discusses strategies for establishing a scalable, sustainable open source sponsorship program—one that aligns internal company incentives with those of open source maintainers and the community at large. It also examines how other OSPOs have grown their existing open source sponsorship programs to meet more needs across the business, ultimately growing the overall investment in open source. Mike Fix, head of open source at Stripe, and Carol Huang, Developer Relations at Stripe, will explore lessons learned from other OSPOs to uncover tactics for scaling an open source sponsorship program in your own organization.

SLSA Conformance - Kris Kooi, Google
Supply chain levels for software assurance, or SLSA (pronounced ‘salsa’), is a framework to reason about and improve the integrity of software artifacts. SLSA (https://slsa.dev) is seeing increased adoption across the industry and open source ecosystems.

In order to meet the highest level of build assurance, SLSA requires build systems to meet rigorous security standards. Many of these requirements are impractical to record in the artifact’s build provenance, so consumers have to decide whether to trust that the build system used to generate the artifact conforms to the SLSA specification. The community started the SLSA conformance program to help consumers make their trust decisions in a principled way. 

This talk describes the SLSA requirements for build systems, how the SLSA conformance program works, and how consumers can enforce their trust decisions during SLSA verification. After this talk, build system maintainers should understand the SLSA requirements and conformance program well enough to undergo the self-certification process, developers will be able to make informed decisions about which builders to use, and consumers will understand how to access public evidence that artifacts were built by SLSA-conformant build systems.

The Impact of Media on Cybersecurity: Using Art to Visualize Software Supply Chain Security Trends & Increase Awareness of Popular Library Vulnerabilities - Anova Hou, University of British Columbia
This talk will present the impact of media on the open source software supply chain through the lens of art and creativity. According to Sonatype’s State of the Software Supply Chain, enterprise responses to vulnerabilities in popular libraries are heavily influenced by press coverage. In response to this finding, the speaker created a multimedia series that interprets the OSS supply chain through the perspective of visual art and mainstream media. Trend data was scraped and visualized using generative art to create a body of work that highlights this pattern of media influence on cybersecurity. This talk will explain the critical combination of art and cybersecurity through a tangible project. Listeners will learn how artists and technologists can 1) collaborate on technical storytelling for diverse audiences, 2) use open source frameworks for creating new visualizations, and 3) use multi-disciplinary techniques to measure, predict, and expand awareness of OSS supply chain vulnerabilities.

Application Code of Conduct - Full-Stack Policy as Code - Gabriel L. Manor, Permit.io
The increasing complexity of applications and the need for fine-grained authorization mechanisms have made it necessary to build a comprehensive policy management system that covers the entire stack. With the rise of Policy as Code, it's now possible to codify policies and enforce them at different layers of the application. One of the biggest challenges in implementing policy as code is ensuring that the policies are consistently enforced throughout the stack, and streamlining policies across multi-functional applications and business functions. It's important to have a solution that can handle policies across the full stack, from the back-end to the front-end, while also being flexible enough to support the unique needs of different business functions. In this talk, we'll share our journey of building a full-stack authorization solution using open-source tools such as Rego and the Open Policy Agent. We'll show how we used these tools to build an open-source administration layer, run sidecars in applications, and integrate with the front-end using CASL to enforce policies in the web app. Come and learn about our experience and how you can implement a similar solution for your applications.

Level Up Your Deployments: Automate with Terraform + Flux - Priyanka "Pinky" Ravi, Weaveworks
GitOps might sound like a self-explanatory term, but it is not as easy as it sounds. Many think this just means to store your Infrastructure-as-Code in Git, then have a pipeline run the code, but it is actually much more complicated than that. True GitOps takes the deployment out of CI/CD, and the most popular solutions are using Kubernetes controllers to do all the heavy lifting. Ensure what you’ve defined in Terraform is what’s always running and available. Flux continuously looks for changes and reconciles with the desired state. Take advantage of all the benefits of GitOps: streamlined and secure deployments, quicker time to market, and more time to concentrate on app development! Pinky will provide an in-depth look at the free and open source Flux Terraform Controller, which enables Terraform deployments to be done the GitOps Way. She will end with a demo that stands up an EKS cluster and configures it. This demo will use Terraform Cloud as the backend, demonstrating the flexibility of the Terraform Controller.

SFrame: The Simple Frame Stack Trace Format - Indu Bhagat, Oracle
The SFrame format is a new stack trace format, the support for which we recently introduced into the GNU Toolchain. It represents the information needed for generating simple stack traces. The SFrame format keeps track of the minimal necessary information needed for stack tracing: Canonical Frame Address (CFA), Frame Pointer (FP), Return Address (RA). This format is designed for those applications which need fast, online stack traces, while relieving the need for them to preserve the frame pointer. This can be useful, for instance, in production-like environments, in which many constraints may exist. Support for the SFrame format is available in Binutils 2.40 (Spec: https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/sframe-spec.html). This talk will introduce the format, its support in Binutils and showcase how simple it is to generate stack traces using SFrame. It will also discuss the next steps for the format and its adoption in the GNU/Linux ecosystem. Since this work was last presented, several new ideas and changes (including a new name) were implemented. This talk will cover the progress made since then, and discuss ideas for possible use cases. The talk will also showcase some libsframe APIs and show how to easily generate stack traces using SFrame.

In recent years, huge foundation models have exhibited new impressive capabilities like suggesting writings, helping codings, and enlightening painters. While everyone is amazed by these incredible use cases, the tradeoff between these models' performance and energy cost on Container Platforms has yet to be studied. In this talk, we will show 5 steps on how to run high-performance and energy-efficient foundation models on Kubernetes: - containerize foundation models - deploy foundation model on Kubernetes - measure the energy consumption of serving the foundation model - reduce the energy consumption of the model via tuning the GPU frequencies - study the tradeoffs between the performance of the model inference requests and the energy cost of running the model.

Building and Supporting Open Source Communities Through Metrics - Georg Link, Bitergia
Each open source community is different and therefore requires different metrics for data-driven decisions about building and supporting it. What makes it so tricky is that everyone pays attention to different aspects of communities. In this talk, we will explore what metrics are available to look at communities and to track the impact of changes we make as we build and support them. We will look at real-world examples of how metrics have been used to build and support open source communities. This is based on conversations in the CHAOSS Project, an open source community that defined metrics and developed software to get these metrics. 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. [note to program committee] This talk drew a large crowd at OSSummit EU in Dublin 2022 and were requested to give it again on the big stage. I'm submitting the talk again because it was so popular. This time, I will reduce the time spent on introducing CHAOSS metrics and spend more time with new and updated real-world examples.

How Far Will Open Source Innovation Go and What It Means for Patent Non-Aggression - Keith Bergelt, Open Invention Network
Open Source innovation has come a long way since Linux in the early 1990s, gaining support from MySQL, Python, Apache, and others. Fast forward to 2023. Open Source has evolved & will continue to do so. It's now considered the norm in software development, the standard for business & the mainstay technology for web, mobile, cloud, Point-of-Sale, ATMs, and smart anything. It's part of every human touch point, almost every platform & every tech application. It will persist & experience growth in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Open Source Hardware, and others. Open Source will become integrated into every industry. There's already an influx from Financial Services, Retail, Energy & others because of shifts in the way value is created in the new economy. Companies are also changing their culture to coopetition. They're adapting faster and realizing innovation without legal conflict lets the best products win. This includes patent non-aggression. Talk includes: o The patent landscape o How patent litigation risks are rising o How companies with tens of thousands of patents are recognizing the proprietary patent model is becoming too expensive and cumbersome o The business & societal benefits of patent non-aggression o Why coopetition calls for an open approach.

Navigating Open Source and Open Standards for Better Cybersecurity - Jeffrey Borek & Arnaud Le Hors, IBM
For over a hundred years, traditional standards organizations have made modern life better through the establishment of guidelines that are all around us, the four main standard categories being product, service, process and management. Over the last two decades, open source software has emerged from an initial focus on operating system to virtually every part of the software stack, and established de-facto 'standards' which have reshaped the IT ecosystem. Today it’s possible to make an open source product that does not comply with many open standards, and it’s possible to make closed source products that use open standards heavily. What is the right balance between open source and open standards today? Concerns about the security of the modern software supply chain add new complexity to this complex equation. Please join this session for an up-to-the-minute look at how both the open source community and standards organizations are working to improve cybersecurity.

An OSPO for OSPOs: Managing Open Source at GitHub - Eric Sorenson, Github
As the OSPO at the home for the world’s developers, GitHub’s OSPO has a unique dual mission: we’re both managing GitHub’s open source projects and helping organizations that use GitHub as the center of their OSS activity. In this talk, Eric will enumerate projects on both sides of that equation and share lessons learned from working within GitHub and with open source communities. Open source ownership: We’re building an inventory of GitHub’s hundreds of orgs and the repos they contain. This project aims to define “durable ownership” for the projects which are still viable and to send the rest of them off into the sunset. License compliance: Like many large organizations, our codebase has thousands of repos and tens of thousands of dependencies. We also have a legal team that wants to make sure these dependencies don’t put us at risk. Building “get right” tooling has been a huge undertaking, but maybe others can learn from our efforts. Org health metrics : We’re always trying to answer questions with data, and a critical one is: are our projects healthy? The dashboard we’re building aims to provide helpful numbers to answer this question based on research from CHAOSS. Attendees will leave the talk with tool and process recommendations and perhaps some coveted Octocat stickers.

Is SBOM for the Cloud Even a Thing? - Nisha Kumar, Oracle
We've heard of SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) thanks to many supply chain attacks, vulnerable component debacles, and various Governments asking for it. We can more or less generate a list of software components in a distributed artifact, but what about services i.e. software that is "not on-prem"? Is it useful to provide a list of software components for a thing that a consumer interacts with via an API over a network? What would such a list look like? This talk aims to demystify the composition and applications of a Bill of Materials that is applied to Cloud services. We will look at the Cloud Security Alliance's Shared Responsibility Model, different kinds of use cases where more information about the service operation may be useful, and why the word "SBOM" just doesn't cut it for Cloud.

What We Learned from Building Edge Computing Nodes - Kerim Satirli, HashiCorp
How do you build a computing platform for "hands-off" operations and deploy it in the middle of a fish farm? What considerations do you take when designing the network stack for an agricultural deployment where heavy machinery will obstruct Line-of-Sight and reliable data transmission? In this talk, Kerim explains real-world strategies to consider when deploying compute at the edge, which pitfalls to avoid, and why. The speaker dives deep into the networking and security aspects and discusses them in the context of low-powered devices and multi-regional clusters. Attendees can expect to learn about tactics and strategies that have proven themselves when deploying edge computing networks and how open-source tooling can help. Following the talk, attendees can experiment with most of the underlying code of the talk, which is made available through GitHub.

Cluster Golden Signals to Avoid Alert Fatigue at Scale - Anusha Ragunathan & Sahil Badla, Intuit Inc
As platform engineers & SREs, we rely on metrics from Kubernetes clusters to understand platform health. For a Kubernetes platform running hundreds of clusters, there is often a sea of alerts arising from these clusters and on-call engineers need to tend to all of them, which can lead to alert fatigue. The alerts cannot be ignored due to the potential of an outage or incident resulting from them. How do we devise an observability system for Kubernetes Clusters that filters the signal from noise? Fortunately, we can use the industry standard “Golden Signals” (error rate, latency, traffic and resource saturation) defined for applications and services, towards Kubernetes Clusters as well. In this talk, we will take a deep dive into how we have defined “Cluster Golden Signals”, how they work, and go over the architecture and components of a successful metrics pipeline that derives baseline behaviors and detects anomalies. With a demo of a simulated incident, Anusha and Sahil will explain how cluster golden signals are invaluable in distinguishing a service issue from a platform issue and how to isolate and remediate a platform incident efficiently and quickly. You will learn the best practices from us, having built and operated this system in production at a large scale.

Squashing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Bugs in Open Source Projects: How to Find and Resolve Common “DEI Bugs” - Anita Sarma, Oregon State University & Georg Link, Bitergia
Open source software projects are hyper-collaborative environments but surveys reveal that project members lack diversity. There are many reasons why open source projects appear uninviting to people of underrepresented groups. We would consider these reasons “bugs” if the system was software. This talk uses the idea of DEI bugs to discuss how we can identify where open source projects fall short in being inviting and inclusive. The goal of this framing is to find ways to squash these bugs and bring out the potential of everyone who has an interest in our open source projects. A concrete suggestion is to walk in the shoes of others and take a fresh look at your project. The audience will learn actionable steps to take a new look at their own open source projects and start making a positive difference. This revised talk adds a discussion of common DEI bugs, where they come from, and how we can resolve them. [notes to program committee:] We revised this talk based on feedback that the talk could be improved with more examples and guidance. We walk faster through the steps of identifying DEI bugs and added a discussion of common DEI bugs, based on peer-reviewed research.

Hybrid Networks: The Next Chapter in Enterprise Blockchain - Hart Montgomery, Hyperledger Foundation
Distributed ledgers and smart contracts are fast becoming standard parts of the IT ecosystem for enterprises. In fact, according to the 2023 Gartner Impact Radar, within the next 1-3 years, blockchain will reach a very high level of adoption as a critical enabler technology. That adoption rate is accelerating in part because of the increasing maturity and flexibility of blockchain technologies and networks. In this talk, Hart Montgomery, Hyperledger Foundation CTO, will cover how enterprises can tap the best of public and permissioned networks with hybrid solutions tailored to their business and technical needs. He will cover: - The use cases for public, permissioned and hybrid networks and also for using technology other than blockchain - The technical tradeoffs between different types of blockchain networks - The role of open source platforms in enabling hybrid networks - An overview of the tools that enable current and future network interoperability

KFLAT - Selective Kernel Memory Serialization for Security and Debugging - Bartosz Zator & Paweł Wieczorek, Samsung Poland Research Institute
Linux is a very complex piece of software which requires advanced testing and debugging capabilities. Memory dumps come very handy for that task: whether that’s a core dump in gdb or a memory image fed into a VM. However, the commonly used memory dump tools lack granularity: they dump an entire process or system memory without the understanding of which source code structures it represents. In this talk we present KFLAT: a novel tool which allows to make a fine-grained copy of the kernel memory for selected variables and structures. Such a copy can be used to recreate the layout of kernel memory in the userspace process on another machine. KFLAT produces a flattened memory image which makes the loading process almost instantaneous and allows for a high test throughput. We first present how KFLAT works and discuss other Linux memory serialization tools. Next, we show how operating on the KFLAT image can benefit the testing and debugging process of the Linux kernel. We also dive into implementation details for some interesting problems and solutions. We conclude by showing how we applied KFLAT as the backbone for state initialization in our automatic test harness generation project Auto Off-Target (AoT) and how we used it to fuzz the Linux kernel entry points in the userspace.
