How to Contribute a Zephyr Sensor Driver - Maureen Helm, Analog Devices

Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:00 - 09:40 CEST

Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)

The Zephyr sensor driver API is a popular area for new contributors to submit code upstream; a sensor driver is well-contained, it doesn't touch more intimidating or complex subsystems, and most importantly, it enables your Zephyr application to interact with the physical world in a new way. Naturally, you want to share it with the open source community, but how do you do it? This talk will share best practices and common pitfalls encountered by new contributors submitting their first sensor driver, and provide insight into why maintainers request certain changes.

Secure and Encrypted Boot in Zephyr RTOS - Parthiban N, Linumiz

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:20 CEST

Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)

MCUboot enables secure booting of Zephyr RTOS using asymmetric cryptographic signature verification with a public key. The hash of the public key is embedded or compiled with the MCUboot binary by default, which is used for checking the integrity of the public key. To tamper-proof, as an alternate secure boot option, the hash of the public key can be stored securely and retrieved when hardware keys are enabled. Security of embedded SoC's (e.g., i.MX RT) offers more capabilities, such as High Assurance Boot (HAB), Data Co-Processor (DCP), or Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) implementing the Trustzone for SoC's (e.g., nRF91) to enable secure storage with hardware crypto acceleration or external security modules (e.g., TPM, EdegeLock) to store keys in hardware vaults.

This talk will detail MCUboot secure booting with hardware keys. NXP i.MX RT as an example using HAB for booting singed and encrypted bootloader MCUboot, enabling hardware root of trust, and booting Zephyr RTOS using keys from OTP for verification. We will also see about using the TF-M backend and OTP for secure booting Trustzone-enabled SoCs.

Tutorial: How to Win Friends & Influence LLMs (with Prompt Engineering) - James Busche, IBM

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 12:35 CEST

Room 1.61-1.62 (Level 1)

Part art, part science, prompt engineering is the process of crafting input text to fine-tune a given large language model for best effect. Foundation models have billions of parameters and are trained on terabytes of data to perform a variety of tasks, including text-, code-, or image generation, classification, conversation, and more. A subset known as large language models are used for text- and code-related tasks. When it comes to prompting these models, there isn't just one right answer. There are multiple ways to prompt them for a successful result. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of prompt engineering, from monitoring your token usage to balancing intelligence and security. You will be guided through a range of exercises where you will be able to utilize the different techniques, dials, and levers illustrated in order to get the output you desire from the model. Participants of this workshop will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of prompt engineering along with the practical skills required to achieve the best results with open source large language models.

Dude, Where’s My Error?: How OpenTelemetry Records Errors, and Why It Does It Like That - Adriana Villela, ServiceNow Cloud Observability & Reese Lee, New Relic

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST

Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)

When an app crashes or throws an exception, these errors are not just useful, but vital, to record. However: * How an error is visualized in a backend may not be where you think it’ll be, or how you expect it to look. * Only looking at errors could mean you’re missing out on understanding your system holistically, including other failures that may be causing user dissatisfaction. In this session, Adriana & Reese will examine errors using OpenTelemetry (OTel). They will discuss how OTel records errors, how to enhance spans with metadata to streamline troubleshooting, and explore the distinction between errors and exceptions. They'll also look at how the same error is visualized in different backends, and teach about the different span kinds and how they affect error reporting. Attendees will be empowered to navigate the complexities of error handling in their software applications by leveraging OTel’s capabilities to better understand how things are working (or not) in their apps.

Let Them Eat CAKES: A Sweet Dive Into a Modern Cloud Networking Stack - Krisztian Fekete , Solo.io

Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST

Room 0.14 (Level 0)

Previous generations of networking made up of point solutions organized by Conway's law are inconsistent, incompatible, and slow down developers. Open source alternatives have emerged to provide compelling networking solutions for Platform Engineers but may overlap. In this talk, we introduce the concept of "the CAKES stack" for modern cloud networking based on OSS projects: (C)ilium, (A)mbient mesh, (K)ubernetes, (E)nvoy, and (S)PIFFE/SPIRE. A twist on the stack, BAKES, includes (B)ackstage.io for a platform's internal developer portal which ties everything together like frosting. Each layer in the "cake" was specifically chosen as it represents the "best of breed" for the role required. These technologies come together to provide a consistent solution for zero trust, observability, ingress/egress, traffic control and significantly improved developer experience and velocity.

What Can Open Source Project Health Metrics Reveal About Project Users? - Sophia Vargas, Google & Georg Link, Bitergia

Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST

Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)

Information about open source project users and usage characteristics can be an invaluable tool for maintainers and project leaders to prioritize support for features and old versions, as well as understand how users engage with their project. However, many open source users see incorporating telemetry into a project as an invasion of privacy. Within the CHAOSS community, we discuss and define metrics to understand and measure project health. Many of these same metrics can be used to infer characteristics about project users as they are part of the extended community. In this talk, we will discuss what we can and can’t learn about our users from existing publicly available metrics while respecting the privacy of our communities.

Mesa3D Unveiled: From glDrawArrays(…) to GPU Magic - Christian Gmeiner, Igalia

Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST

Hall C (Level 2)

Mesa3D, often called Mesa, is a key part of the Linux graphics system, serving as an open-source implementation of the OpenGL API for rendering 3D graphics. It also supports other APIs like Vulkan and OpenGL ES.

This session will demystify Mesa3D, starting with GPU functions and its interaction with computers, laying the groundwork for understanding how Mesa powers 3D graphics. We'll use rendering a triangle as a case study to explore Mesa3D’s architecture—from initiating EGL and compiling shaders to sending work to the GPU, making the complex process more accessible.

The goal is for everyone to walk away with a clearer understanding of Mesa’s role in Linux graphics and its importance to the open-source community, specially on embedded platforms, where open-source drivers are getting much more relevance for long term maintainability, feature support and customization.

Here, I mention embedded platforms because many of our customers use open-source drivers. This allows them to include these drivers in their products without depending on proprietary solutions from manufacturers, which may not even be available (some are only available on Android, not Linux).

Navigating the Open Source Observability Landscape - Dotan Horovits, CNCF Ambassador

Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST

Room 1.61-1.62 (Level 1)

In the cloud native era systems are getting ever more dynamic and complex. With containers and microservices architecture, monitoring and troubleshooting systems is more challenging than ever before. The open source community has risen up to the challenge and has delivered solutions that fit modern environments. Established open source projects such as Prometheus and the ELK Stack have gathered massive adoption, while new projects keep emerging and uncovering yet untapped possibilities such as continuous profiling and eBPF. Alongside tools, open standards, such as OpenMetrics and OpenTelemetry, are emerging to converge the industry and prevent vendor lock-in. Goodness, it’s hard to keep track of all that goodness. In this talk Horovits will talk about the recommended open source tools and standards for observability (looking also beyond logs, metrics and traces), and how to combine them to help you achieve effective observability in your environment.

Testing, a Journey from Testing Kernels to Testing Debian and Yocto - Sudip Mukherjee, Codethink Ltd

Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST

Hall M1 (Level 1)

Testing is an integral part of the software lifecycle. For software which are in continuous development it's even more important to have regular testing so that any bugs or errors can be detected early. In this talk, I will present how I started testing the Linux Kernel in a personal capacity and the status of Kernel testing that is now being done as part of Codethink. I will also present how that testing infrastructure has evolved to test Debian Sid on a RPI4 from a CI pipeline and the problems we had to overcome. That same infrastructure is now being modified to test Yocto from a gitlab CI pipeline.

Reducing Bias in AI with Open Source - Abubakar Siddiq Ango, GitLab

Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST

Room 2.31 (Level 2)

Bias in AI has become a hot topic and increasingly, we are seeing how dangerous it is. Dangerous because AI is gain more influence in decisions that impact lives, decisions about who gets employment, healthcare or economic development and who gets profiled for crime, extra search at the airport, and so on. Even tools designed to identify AI-generated content have shown bias against non-native speakers based on their choice of verbiage. To reduce bias, experts often refer to having diverse training data and cognitive diversity, but where else is this achievable than in Open-source communities? This session is designed to open up discussions around reducing bias in AI with Open source. Abubakar will start by sharing examples of biases, sharing strategies to leverage open-source communities, and opening the floor for attendees to share their opinions and views, with the goal of creating a resource that will be valuable to the community.
