Learning from Firefighters to Improve Systems Reliability - Kerim Satirli, HashiCorp
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Almost seventy years ago, wilderness firefighters who reeled from major losses developed a set of rules with the goal of improving incident management. These rules came to be known as the "Ten Standard Firefighting Orders" and have been the authoritative way of preparing and training for critical operations. In this talk, Kerim explains how the systematic approach of these orders can be adapted to a software engineering context, with the ultimate goal of improving operational reliability and, in the case of an outage, limit damage to human operators and (IT) infrastructure.

Securing Data-in-Transit with Wireguard for Kubernetes Cluster - Dhiraj Sehgal & Davide Sellitri,Tigera
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
This talk delves into the transformative combination of WireGuard and Calico for enhancing network security in Kubernetes clusters. Despite the ubiquity of Kubernetes in microservice orchestration, securing the inter-node traffic often presents a significant challenge. We will first discuss the security risks associated with the non-encryption of inter-node traffic, such as data interception and potential injection of malicious payloads. It underscores the critical importance of implementing traffic encryption within Kubernetes clusters to thwart these threats. We examine WireGuard and ProjectCalico using its eBPF dataplane for securing traffic. The talk navigates the potential constraints, including the requirement for kernel support, the complexity of multi-cluster setups, and the compatibility issues across different environments.

What Was Life Like Before Open Source? - Dave Stokes, Percona
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 1)
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it at a much higher price tag. In these days of new restrictive licenses, It may help those who have grown up with open-source get a quick history lesson on what life was like back in the day when you bought everything - hardware, software, manuals, training - from a sole vendor. Interoperability was minimal, code sharing between different hardware brands was next to impossible, and a manufacturer's new line of products could instantly reduce your investment to zero value. Then came Unix (and later Linux), TCP/IP, and the revolution that produced our current outlook on software and systems. Help keep open-source from slipping away by understanding what we once endured and what many have to suffer through again.

A-Typical but Fruitful Public Sector Collaborations Through OSPO's - Nico Rikken, Alliander & Karel Rietveld, Dutch Tax and Customs Administration
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Collaboration in the public sector typically happens between similar organizations and through an overarching coordinating body. How a-typical is then the collaboration between the Dutch Tax Office and the semi-public Grid Operator Alliander. Yet the goals for their open source activities are similar and thus the OSPO's are collaborating to establish sound Open Source practices. Meanwhile there is a larger community of public and semi-public OSPO's that are taking on multiple shared goals. In this presentation Karel Rietveld and Nico Rikken will go over their learnings: - Unique benefits of an OSPO-collaboration that is national and consists of (semi-)public organizations - Practical examples of collaboration - How a small collaboration has grown to a larger collaboration - The road to the current working structure with working groups

1 Billion Dollars for Open Source Maintainers - Tobie Langel, UnlockOpen
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
Worldwide, we spend close to 2 trillion dollars per year for the loaded cost of software developers. If every company spent just 0.05% of that amount to fund open source maintainers, we’d unlock a billion dollars per year to fund the maintenance of open source. That would pay the full time salaries for thousands of maintainers, their managers, security training, etc. That seems fairly cheap for software that accounts for 70% to 97% of our software stack depending on how you count. And just imagine the positive impact on the security of our software supply chain! What are we waiting for? We’re way overdue making a clear distinction between open source developers and open source maintainers and professionalizing the latter. This talk will explore what doing so would actually look like and give an overview of the current efforts to support open source maintainers.

Enhancing Artifact Security with GitHub’s Build Provenance and Minder - Fredrik Skogman, GitHub & Radoslav Dimitrov, Stacklok
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
In the evolving landscape of software development, ensuring the integrity of build artifacts like container images is crucial. In this talk, we'll demonstrate how to use GitHub's Build Provenance API to generate SLSA attestations and create robust policies for your artifacts, verifying their origin and authenticity. We'll examine the contents and significance of these attestations and discuss how to integrate them into your CI/CD pipelines. Additionally, we'll explore using Minder to monitor and enforce these policies across your repositories, ensuring these attestation practices do not degrade over time. We’ll also show how combining these tools can safeguard even in the event of someone else gaining access and pushing a malicious image to your container registry. By the end of this session, you'll have a good understanding of how open source tools like Sigstore, in-toto, SLSA, TUF, and Minder can collectively strengthen the security of the software supply chain. You'll gain practical insights into setting up artifact attestations with GitHub's API and establishing tailored policies with Minder to protect your development processes against vulnerabilities.

Painless Multi-Tenant Kafka on Kubernetes with Istio at ASML - Thomas Reichel, ASML Holding & Dominique Chanet, Klarrio
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
ASML is building a self-service, multi-tenant data platform that enables teams to work independently on data products and applications. In a secure multi-tenant Kubernetes setup, tenants get an isolated view of the cluster, allowing them to deploy workloads independently of each other. Data sharing among tenants is governed by a global policy-based access control layer. Our challenge was to introduce a shared Kafka cluster into this setup, with proper tenant isolation and seamless integration with the global access control layer. We used Istio to enable zero-configuration authentication for Kafka clients operating inside the Kubernetes cluster. This allows Kafka authentication to be done with the Kubernetes-native tenant/namespace/serviceaccount idiom. A custom operator reconciles the tenant's topic definitions and topic access requests with the platform administrator's resource allocations and the global data sharing policy, and dynamically configures the right Kafka ACLs and resource quota.

Container Development Client for Reproducible Artifacts - Harsh Thakur, Civo & Kunal Verma, Kubesimplify
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
The container landscape is undergoing a transformation with innovative snapshotters and image formats. But how do we leverage these advancements to empower developers with more cost-effective solutions? Open source projects like Colima and Finch are paving the way for this new wave of container tooling. While they didn't fully meet our specific needs, they provided valuable building blocks for our solution. In our pursuit of achieving truly reproducible builds, we explored Nix and Nix-snapshotter. Combining the power of Nix, a robust package manager, with Nix-snapshotter's efficient caching capabilities within containerd, and the cross-platform functionality of Lima for managing Linux VMs, we've unlocked a new level of consistency and reproducibility for developers' software builds. This project empowers developers with unprecedented flexibility and control over their containerized environments. By embracing these innovations, we can expect reduced CI resource consumption, faster build times, and simplified security and compliance.

Open Source Governance for Software Engineers - Tobie Langel, UnlockOpen
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
The goal of this presentation is twofold: Firstly, we want to demystify open source project governance. Do you freeze when you hear the term governance? Do you blindly copy and paste the governance of other projects hoping it works for your project too? Do you struggle to keep governance up to date or aligned with what's *actually* going on in the project? You're not alone. Secondly, we want to provide a simple, practical, and proven approach to writing governance that's directly inspired from coding best practices. The very same concepts that are used when writing code (e.g. Don't Repeat Yourself, Keep It Simple, or Separation of Concerns) have direct application when authoring governance documents and create the same kind of positive outcomes: governance that is simple to understand, flexible, and and easy to maintain. You'll never come back from thinking about governance as code. By the time you leave this presentation, you'll have an entirely new perspective on governance and will feel empowered by your ability to leverage your existing software engineering skills in this new domain.

Measuring Security Risk: Community Engagement Is the Best Mitigation - Deb Nicholson, Python Software Foundation
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
When considering open source software that you include in your products, engaging with your upstream is a more robust and resilient way to gauge your security risks than relying on outsourcing your trust modeling to metrics and GitHub stars. Becoming a partner to your upstream community helps you build more secure software and create the relationships you'll need if there's ever an attack. Plus community engagement has a lot of follow-on benefits for the way your company makes use of open source. This talk covers how to keep surprises to a minimum by engaging with your upstream communities. We'll look at several ways to gracefully go from "who the heck is in charge of that code" to being an open source insider that always knows what’s going on with your upstream partners. We'll also look at how to identify red flags at projects that you may not want to rely on.

Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
This talk describes a journey that began almost a quarter of a century ago. The first attempts to establish open source in Germany failed. Only with a cloud and digital sovereignty strategy was it possible to establish FOSS in the German administration. The speaker was involved in various initiatives, the Verwaltungsgitlab (OpenCode.de), the strategic papers of the IT Planning Council, OpenDesk, the founding of the Sovereign Tech Fund and is still centrally involved in the updating of the strategy. It provides an insight into the foundations of a private cloud strategy that ultimately paved the way for FOSS. The vision is a digitally sovereign administration cloud that ensures a secure and automated implementation of modern administration processes through DevSecOps as the engine of the processes.

Fast & Furious: From Zero to Open Source Community in 9 Weeks - Leslie Hawthorn, Red Hat GmbH & Martin Hickey, IBM
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
When you join an open source community, do you ever wonder how it got started? Was infrastructure like CI/CD, code checking tools, docs, etc. started from day 0 or built bit-by-bit from day 1 onwards? Do people assume particular roles or does everyone just jump in to get things rolling? Do you build up some capabilities first and then open it up, or just go gung-ho? In this talk, we tell the story of how an idea germinated from the IBM AI research team and investigated on a dev laptop led to IBM and Red Hat building out an entire project to successfully create the InstructLab open source community in just 9 weeks. We will treat you to a behind the scenes look at how a huge undertaking like this can be realized - warts and all. We invite you to join us for our story of how a dedicated team working together took complex AI concepts that seemed near-impossible to make open source and built a community that allows anyone to contribute improvements to LLMs. Attendees will leave with a thorough understanding of how to create the scaffolding for a successful project opening in a short time frame, with all requisite buzzwords like “GenAI” included, but not obnoxiously so.

The CHAOSS Academic Working Group was formed in 2023 to examine the OSS metrics and models found in a university setting. No two OSS projects are the same, and often have different goals - but when we started looking at what a successful OSS project looks like in universities, we were surprised that so few of the existing CHAOSS metrics could be used to address the common goals and questions asked by researchers, students, and academic staff. Join us for this panel discussion with members of the CHAOSS Academic Working Group to hear about how to consider measuring OSS in an academic context, when we look at the question from an individual, institutional and system-wide point of view.

Tackling Language Barriers in Open Source Docs: A Case Study of openEuler's Globalization Efforts - Helen Liu & Wang Jing, OpenAtom openEuler
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
In today's interconnected world, open source thrives on collaboration, yet language barriers in documentation impede knowledge exchange. As languages like Chinese and Japanese gain prominence, native speakers play increasingly vital roles. Yet, the lack of universal understanding necessitates a two-step localization process, from the source language to English and then to local languages. Amidst this backdrop, in OpenAtom openEuler, a pioneering project born in China which has been spearheading internationalization efforts, we initiated G11N SIG, an instrumental globalization group in tackling these challenges head-on. As a maintainer of G11N and a social media operator who is deeply attuned to localization challenges, I bring firsthand experience and expertise to the table. In this session, we'll embark on a comprehensive exploration of openEuler's journey, delving into successful strategies, encountered challenges, and the lessons learned in surmounting language barriers. We'll shed light on AI's assistance in localization efforts and the empowering potential of social media in enhancing accessibility.

Lightning Talk: The Open Source Smart Garden - Ivan Šarić, TripAdvisor
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:10 - 14:20 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
This presentation outlines the design of a smart garden system. The system consists of a cloud component where data is streamed to and commands are relayed from the local sites. The other component is the locally positioned SBC-powered system that orchestrates a group of sensors and controllers while maintaining a tunnel to the cloud. The choice of protocol for local communication between the SBC-based coordinator, sensors and controllers is open. The current set up is based around Zigbee due to the small size of the deployment site and the unobstructed nature of the terrain on which the system was developed. The system leverages the power of the open-source graph visualization and monitoring platform Grafana and the time-series database Prometheus. Grafana is a natural choice for a user dashboard that can display real-time site statistics like soil-moisture, ph score and EC. Grafana provides monitoring capabilities that will be used by the operators to ensure functioning. The cloud component provides long-term storage of all locally-streamed data. It also allows the owner to export all collected data for analysis by a third-party expert.

Lightning Talk: Building the AIverse: Standardizing Autonomous AI Agents for a Decentralized Fediverse - Chris Xie, Futurewei
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:10 - 14:20 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
The decentralized fediverse is poised to revolutionize how we interact online, but it still lacks a crucial component: standardized, interoperable AI agents. Current AI agent frameworks are numerous, but fragmented, leading to inefficiencies and duplication of effort. This talk proposes a future vision where decentralized fediverse is empowered by standardized, autonomous AI agents with human-in-the-loop, enhancing our daily lives both online and offline. We'll discuss the need for a standard architecture for AI agent frameworks, incorporating AI safety rules and sustainable development principles, to ensure the new "AIverse" is built responsibly and sustainably.

Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:10 - 14:20 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Join us in taking a look at how the Sovereign Tech Fund, a state-funded organization in Germany, has been developing ways to strengthen and support the free and open source ecosystem in the public interest. This ecosystem underpins the digital infrastructure, in particular the software components and tools, on which governments, private companies, and individuals rely. But what does it mean to strengthen this ecosystem? In this session, we’ll look at the different ways STF is putting public money to work for this mission. Some issues STF is working on include: a) Limited funding for long-term maintenance and security work b) Fragmented career and employment prospects for project maintainers c) Growing the pool of open source maintainers and contributors We’ll include lessons from the first two years of our existence, some insights from our survey of open source maintainers, as well ideas on how all the different parts in the FOSS landscape can work together for a more resilient and fair system. This is a work in progress, but we’re trying to ensure the software our societies depend on is sustainable in the long-term.

Lightning Talk: Millisecond Scale-to-Zero and the Quest to Never Pay for Idle Again - Felipe Huici, Unikraft GmbH
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:20 - 14:30 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Cloud traffic is intermittent and bursty, but cloud bills are on 24/7. While many cloud providers have scale to zero mechanisms (i.e., putting an app to sleep if it's idle, and waking it up when requests for it arrive once again), these are slow, taking seconds or minutes to kick-in. In this lightning talk, we will show that leveraging tech from the Linux Foundation OSS Unikraft project (www.unikraft.org) we can fundamentally disrupt the semantics of scale to zero and autoscale in modern cloud deployments. Concretely, we will demo the ability to (1)*cold* start standard apps (web servers, databases, etc) in milliseconds; (2) scale them to 0 within milliseconds; and (3) wake them up within milliseconds of the next request coming in -- within an Internet RTT and thus not noticeable by end users. Finally, for a bit of fun, we will push the server to the limit, by loading it with thousands of these scaled to zero instances -- and take bets from the audience as to where the system might break.

Lightning Talk: With Great Traces Comes Great Costs: How to Reduce That Bill? - Prashansa Kulshrestha, Independent
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:30 - 14:40 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Is Distributed Tracing an observability essential or just a high-maintenance diva? Hardly, anyone wants to compromise on a trace. For an adventure, try tracing everything and watch your cloud bill explode. Yes! All those spans that you decide to keep are expensive. If you use an external APM provider, god help you before you break your bank. While tracing has solved a number of problems, the cost problem is genuine and it keeps increasing with scale. In this presentation, Prashansa narrates her experiences when she was trying to balance the costs while keeping the traces sane. It’s a humorous journey lined with some failed experiments, small peaks of joy, troughs of sorrow and finally tumbling upon a good enough solution. Join her to know how you can also maintain good and sane enough tracing with a manageable bill, with some span tweaking magic, custom sampling algorithm and fully utilising OpenTelemetry capabilities. Trace smarter to save better.

Multi-Cloud Global Content Distribution at Cloud Native Speeds - Jiri Kremser, k8gb Project & Yury Tsarev, Upbound
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:10 - 15:50 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
If you’ve been globally distributing digital content for a while, you’ll understand that merely having numerous datacenters with advanced caching patterns isn’t sufficient. When your users need to retrieve an object that’s available in different locations worldwide, they should ideally be directed automatically to the location that’s nearest and fastest for the best experience. Cloud service providers typically offer services to handle this for you within their own clouds, but what if you are running a multi-cloud or hybrid environment? K8GB is a cloud-native solution that handles GeoDNS across heterogeneous environments and enables you to reach the same level of multiregion service resilience offered by cloud providers.

How Will IPCEI-CIS Redefine Open Source in the EU? - Alberto P. Martí, OpenNebula Systems
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:10 - 15:50 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
The European Union has approved a €1.2 billion investment in the development of the first interoperable and openly accessible European data processing ecosystem, known as IPCEI-CIS. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on external providers and promote open source technologies. Despite skepticism about whether a state-driven initiative can foster open and collaborative software development, the EU's decision is one of the largest sovereignty-focused initiatives ever undertaken by the organization. The IPCEI-CIS project offers an alternative model based on leveraging European open source for mobilizing the many technological and innovation capabilities in the continent and creating together a Next-Generation European Platform for the Datacenter-Cloud-Edge Continuum. This powerful “made in EU” alternative will offer vendor neutrality and a sustainable future based on global collaboration, but fully aligned with the values and priorities of the European Union. In this presentation, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities that this project presents to citizens and developers, and how it will redefine the way we produce open source software in Europe.

Advancing Transparency and Security in Software: A Deep Dive Into SPDXv3 - Alexios Zavras, Intel
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:10 - 15:50 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
SBOMs are a crucial tool for understanding the composition of software, which is particularly important in the context of managing security risks and licensing compliance. Recent regulatory efforts from, among others, the US and the EU, explicitly move towards requiring SBOM for each software delivery. SPDX (System Package Data Exchange) is a freely available ISO standard that provides a set of specifications for communicating SBOM information. It offers a common format for companies and organizations to share important data accurately and efficiently. This presentation will delve into the details of the newly released version of SPDX, providing a comprehensive understanding of their importance in the software industry.

The Missing Post Mortem - Tobie Langel, UnlockOpen
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:10 - 15:50 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
The first half of 2024 saw an entirely new category of threat against open source, one that rocked its trust-based system at its core: social engineering takeover attempt of critical open source projects. These attacks uncovered a systemic gap in open source security management. Up until now, the open source community wasn’t thought of as a potential cyber attack target. But when critical open source projects become stepping stones for industrial espionage, ransomware attacks, or cyberwarfare, maintainers need to adopt comparable security practices to those found in target organizations. This creates a unique set of challenges for open source because of its highly distributed nature and volunteer-based model. In this talk we'll do a post-mortem of the social engineering takeover attempt at the OpenJS Foundation. Without revealing confidential information, we'll still be able to outline critical industry gaps uncovered during this attack and suggest ways to meaningfully improving security at scale while preserving the ethos, culture, and diversity of communities that characterize open source.

Learning by Example: Highlights from Google Season of Docs - Erin McKean, Google
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:10 - 15:50 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
The Google Season of Docs program gives direct grants to open source projects to hire technical writers. The technical writing projects supported by these grants are intended to solve real problems for open source project communities, and the case studies created by the projects are intended to help other open source projects learn how to conceptualize and create their own problem-solving open source documentation. In this talk, we'll walk through how projects participating in Google's Season of Docs program have framed their problems, hypothesized solutions, created documentation to solve those problems, and measured the success of their documentation.

Lightning Talk: RISC-V and AI: How an Open-Standards ISA Underpins Portability for AI/ML Applications - Philipp Tomsich, VRULL GmbH
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:20 - 15:30 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
RISC-V, an open-standards Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), provides the freedom to add instructions for domain-specific acceleration. This session highlights the significance of ongoing standardization efforts at RISC-V aimed at enhancing AI/ML capabilities through specific architectural enhancements: optimized instructions for matrix operations, efforts to merge GPGPU-style processing into a coherent, multi-paradigm compute resource, and support for emerging paradigms like spiking neural networks. This positions RISC-V to become a "lingua franca" for portable AI/ML libraries and kernels that can transparently be moved between compatible hardware from multiple vendors.

Scalable Multi-Node AI Workloads in Multi-Tenant AI Clouds Using SDN K8s Networking - Girish Moodalbail, NVIDIA Inc & Leonid Grossman US, NVIDIA
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Within AI workloads, a few key traffic flows drive significant data movement between GPUs across nodes. Optimizing these flows for efficient bandwidth, low latency, and minimal jitter is critical to prevent GPU underutilization. Additionally, in the context of AI Cloud infrastructure, accommodating numerous users and concurrent AI workloads introduces competition for shared network resources, potentially impacting application performance. Hence, ensuring isolation between workloads within and across tenants is paramount. This session will explain ways to achieve network isolation (overlay virtual network topology) and efficient bandwidth (end-to-end QoS) between AI workloads using Open Source SDN solution, namely, Open vSwitch (OVS), Open Virtual Network (OVN), and OVN-Kubernetes CNI. With OVS-offloadable hardware the gains are much more significant.

Your K8s Infinity Gaunlet: The Marvel of KEDA and Cluster-API for Infinite Scale - Scott Rosenberg, Terasky
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
One of the greatest out of the box features of K8s is its auto-scaling capabilities, which has a naive implementation or more advanced scheduling capabilities through native tooling. However, both of these models are reactive and not proactive in nature. What if we could employ proactive event-driven scaling of our clusters?! Over our many years of cloud native operations at scale, with the right tools we could! Enter KEDA (AKA Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling). KEDA was built to make just this type of intelligent auto-scaling possible - this includes everything from event-driven and predictable actions like scaling up and down for predictable bursts of usage or shutting down dev clusters during specific and non-working hours, to managing scaling based on your workloads and message queues, or even your APMs and based on the metrics it ingests. In this talk we’ll walk through auto-scaling on steroids with KEDA, how it can be supercharged through CRDs, and in particular the cluster-API which now makes it possible to provision, update, customize and delete K8s clusters declaratively––that together are a game changer when it comes to the infinite scale K8s makes possible.

Securing Workloads with Transaction Tokens and Minicloak - Dmitry Telegin, Backbase
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 1.61-1.62 (Level 1)
For the modern computing architectures involving multiple independent workloads and following the zero trust model, it is important that the calls between the workloads be properly authenticated and authorized. SPIFFE/SPIRE does solve the authentication part; however, it does not take into account the request context and other dynamic data. A new Internet draft called Transaction Tokens has been adopted by the IETF OAuth Working Group, which addresses the authorization part. A transaction token is a short-lived, cryptographically signed, request-specific token obtained from the new Transaction Token Service in exchange for the external OAuth/OIDC access token and other context-dependent data. The token is then included into every inter-workload call, which guarantees that only non-spurious calls between the workloads can take place. From this talk, the attendees will learn about how Transaction Tokens work, how they help to make the internal perimeter more secure, how we implemented this upcoming specification using a customized version of Keycloak, what challenges we faced and how we solved them.

What Is an ABI, and Why Should You Care? - Shung-Hsi Yu, SUSE
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Application Binary Interface (ABI), in contrast to the more often heard Application Programming Interface (API), is not as widely discussed, but is every bit as important as the latter. It is what allows us to run programs that are compiled 10 years ago on the latest system, and still expect it to work. In this talk, we will introduce the audience to the concept of ABI, explain its difference from API, and and lay out what exactly breaks ABI, as well as cover the symptoms of such breakage. Further more, we will detail how ABI breakage can be detected or prevented, and discuss some specific cases: Linux Kernel's ABI, Python's stable ABI, and Foreign Function Interface.

Linux Storage Stack Explained - Werner Fischer, Thomas-Krenn.AG
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 1)
“Everything is a file” or, more precisely, “Everything is a file descriptor”: this statement alone shows the importance of the storage stack under Linux. To ensure that data can be accessed reliably and efficiently regardless of the selected file system and the actual physical storage location, numerous layers in the Linux kernel interlock seamlessly: Virtual File System (VFS), page cache, block layer with different I/O schedulers, so-called “stackable devices” such as device mappers and drivers are the most important components involved. Using the “Linux Storage Stack Diagram”, Werner explains this architecture clearly with the help of several concrete examples. He explains the different areas of the VFS (block-based, network, stackable, pseudo and special purpose file systems) and also goes into detail about the functionality and application areas of various file systems such as ext4 or btrfs. Werner then shows how the resulting BIOs (block I/Os) are processed by the block layer and I/O schedulers (and optionally via stacked devices) before they finally reach the device drivers and physical storage devices. Join this talk and understand how storage works in Linux :-)

Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
You know all about OSPOs - but have you heard about ISPOs? If an OSPO can be defined as the center of gravity for an organization’s open source operations and structure, then an ISPO performs a similar role for InnerSource. InnerSource, the use of open source methods to create proprietary code, is often used as a step on the path to open source readiness. Last year, InnerSource Commons launched an ISPO Working Group for those involved in enabling InnerSource within their organizations. Some of those involved work in or with OSPOs. In this panel session, moderator Clare Dillon will discuss the emergence of ISPOs with ISPO Working Group members. The panel will explore the role of an ISPO, the parallels to an OSPO, and where the two organizations may differ in terms of objectives or activities. Join us to learn more about this emerging trend and to hear real-life ISPO experiences from organizations operating in health, media, and technology verticals.

RISC-V: Maturing an Open Standards Development Process - Philipp Tomsich, VRULL GmbH
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
With its global uptake, the RISC-V specifications and RISC-V International, as the standards-development body, are facing an unprecedented challenges: the international adoption of RISC-V as an alternative, open-standards ISA and its role in various digital sovereignty initiatives worldwide are putting a geopolitical spotlight on the the standards and specifications released by RISC-V International. Safeguarding the protected status as a standards-development body and ensuring ongoing, constructive collaboration between geographies in the setting of future standards, requires a focus on policies and processes in our standards-development process. This session compares the existing RISC-V specification development with the ISO processes, and provides an outlook to some of the process improvements underway that will lead to an even closer alignment: the ultimate goal being a path to publication of the publicly available RISC-V specifications as international standards. We will provide an overview of the role of the RISC-V Technical Steering Committee, into the quality-gates a proposed standard must pass, and the consensus-building processes within each specification group.

Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Have you ever had the need to show a live version of what your technical documentation is presenting? Don't you agree that seeing things in action is the best way to convey your documentation goals? Have you ever had to deal with the complexity of the learners' heterogeneous environments? Or in other words, have the learners of your product wanted to learn how your project works but some have windows, some linux others mac, some constrained laptops, some don't have enough memory? For this problem online playgrounds for hands-on learning that help you deliver a hands-on experience via a web browser is the best way to go. But many of these do cost a lot of money, while this runs on containers on a simple Kubernetes cluster. In this workshop, we will demonstrate Educates, an open source hands-on workshop platform that can help you deliver hands-on learning experience as well as workshops and demos, in a very easy, reproducible and cost effective way. And we will be using an Educates workshop, which means Inception. This technology is the one used by VMware's Spring.Academy, Tanzu.Academy and Kube.Academy.
