Doing for Sustainability, What Open Source Did for Software - Asim Hussain, Green Software Foundation
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
In the realm of sustainability, grassroots initiatives often emerge as powerful catalysts for change, driven by the collective wisdom of practitioners. Enter Impact Framework, an open-source tool designed to quantify the environmental impact of software. It takes observations you can easily gather from running systems such as CPU utilization, page views, installs, and prompts, and induces them into environmental impacts like carbon, waste, and water. Drawing parallels to the evolution of open-source software, Impact Framework embodies the ethos of openness—open source, open standards, and open data—as the bedrock of its mission. In this talk, I'll explain the history of Impact Framework and its core concepts and take the audience through a live exercise to demonstrate how to use it to measure the environmental impacts of a piece of software. As we embark on this journey, we echo the sentiment of our community: to do for sustainability what open source did for software—a seismic shift rather than a mere agreement. Join us as we explore the transformative power of open-source principles in driving sustainable impact at scale.

Mastering Windows Monitoring in Kubernetes Environments - Mansi Kulkarni & Kanika Rana, Red Hat
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
Are you struggling to monitor Windows on Kubernetes as a developer? With the limited support stack available, it can be a challenging task to keep track of everything. Kubernetes now supports HostProcess containers on Windows nodes. As a result, the Windows exporter, a Prometheus exporter for Windows, can be deployed as a host process pod. This feature is introduced as an add-on in the kube-prometheus project. This talk will implement a monitoring stack using Windows exporter on a Windows node in Kubernetes. We start by diving into various metric collectors, their functionalities, and utilization. Subsequently, demonstrate how to implement the Windows exporter, configure a ServiceMonitor, and deploy a Prometheus instance. Once Prometheus is up and running, we highlight the differences in the monitoring approach compared to Linux machines. Finally, we complete the monitoring experience with a Grafana dashboard analyzing the collected metrics.

Application of the Upcoming SPDX Safety Profile - Nicole Pappler, AlektoMetis.com
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
Creating and maintaining a safety critical project comes with a lot of challenges. A central issue is keeping your documentation, starting from planning and guideline documents, down to requirements, safety analysis, reviews and tests, consistent and up to date. These artefacts often have their own lifecycle and are natively managed in different tools, with usually great traceability capabilities regarding dependencies between these artefacts as long as you stay within one tool or within a (usually propriety) tool family of one single tool vendor. Currently the resulting traceability gaps between these tools are handled either by the popular engineering tools like MS Excel or methods like “search for identical names”, depending highly on manual maintenance.

Using SPDX relationships, the upcoming Safety Profile in SPDX 3.1 will provide a model to represent all these dependencies as a knowledge model that can be used both to analyse possible impacts after a change (be it because of a security update or functional variants of your product), provide evidence of completeness and compliance as a Safety SBOM or simply keep track of your product variants.

Understanding Cultural Differences When Approaching OSS - Daniel Izquierdo Cortázar, Bitergia & Willem Jiang, ByteDance
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Willem and Daniel have been discussing on cultural differences between China and Spain and how to effectively engage newcomers from different regions. Two books were used as starting point: The Culture Map book by Erin Meyer and From the Soils by Fei Xiaotong, a sociological study of the Chinese society written in the 40’s. While Western societies tend to be more individualistics when approaching an OSS community, according to the book From the Soils, Chinese society works in a more ‘ring based’ scenarios where network of trust are quite important over the years. As an example in Chinese society, if you want to do business with another person, you need to be introduced by a trusted person. It is like a social currency to play with. In the case of the OSS communities, your personal career and public record can talk for you, so you do not need others to introduce you. Your own brand is your social currency. In China, an extra step may be required and a trusted person may introduce you. This talk will share experiences and good practices learned over the years to engage and onboard newcomers. Specially, those that face specific barriers such as language or cultural ones.

Introduction to Linux Kernel Debugging and Code Coverage Using KCOV - Priya Dixit, Samsung Semiconductor Research India
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 0.49 - 0.50 (Level 0)
When we write kernel code, testing it thoroughly by giving different input combinations to check all the vulnerabilities and code coverage is important. Also, running buggy code directly on the hardware board has the potential to break the device. The presentation covers building and running a KCOV-enabled kernel in a virtualized environment for runtime detection of error conditions and checking code coverage using the same. To develop a deeper understanding, we will inject faults from user space via debugfs and catch the same by fuzzing the Linux kernel. Further debugging will be shown by using the GCC utilities like addr2line, objdump, etc.

Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
This session will introduce the SPDX Lite profile, its background, and what and how it solves with many JSON examples. The Lite profile of SPDX 3.0 is designed to make it quick and easy to start creating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) when a company has limited capacity for introducing new items into its process. Over the past few years, the importance of SBOM has increased. As interest in SBOM from government agencies and industries grows, the SBOM specification extends significantly to meet these various needs. SPDX Lite is a lightweight and compact SBOM specification. The OpenChain Project Japan WG explores and promotes SBOM. The focus is on making the SBOM practical from security assurance and license compliance perspectives and on sharing and transferring SBOM across the global software supply chain in any industry. SPDX Lite is one of the achievements of collaboration between the OpenChain project and the SPDX project. Attendees in this session will learn the first steps to creating an SBOM using the Lite profile of SPDX 3.0 by several examples of SBOM documents that address regulations and requirements.

Traceability and Automation Examples With Basil an Open Source Software for Quality Management - Luigi Pellecchia & Gabriele Paoloni, Red Hat
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
In Safety Critical applications it is mandatory to ensure Sw Requirements traceability to Sw Specifications, Test Cases, Test Results, Bugs and more.
The process leading to this goal is usually complex and time-consuming and it is essential to understand the state step by step and highlight what remains to be done.
Moreover, for the intrinsic nature of a software project, we need to ensure traceability and test verification following any evolution in the ecosystem of the project.

BASIL The FuSa Spice, is an open source sw that provides a quality management solution aimed to address the above mentioned challenges for SW developments that are code driven and equally for the ones requirements driven.

We will see how to implement in BASIL Sw Requirements traceability to the source Code and to existing upstream Test Cases, how to execute them, how to navigate Test Results and artifacts and how to link failures to a bug in a bug tracking system.

We will also go into the details of a pipeline implementation based on the BASIL HTTP Api to understand how changes in one or more work items can be managed through automation with the goal of implementing a continuous certification framework.

Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
Product teams, R&D teams and OSPOs occasionally find themselves in an adversarial situation with IP Departments around open source and how it should be managed in an organization. This is usually due to misunderstandings about how open source provides value and how the risks associated with it can be contained. With open source increasingly necessary for organizations to compete effectively, it is important to ensure all departments understand its strategic importance, and how to manage it in the context of their KPIs and requirements. This talk will explain how to collaborate with IP Departments using the language of external risk containment and internal portfolio management, and help IP Department staff assess open source as part of a diversified IPR strategy.

Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Modern cloud-native applications are frequently distributed across multiple Kubernetes clusters or virtual machines. But what exactly are the requirements for securing communication among these cloud native applications? Is encryption alone sufficient? Do applications require unique identities? How can we ensure the integrity of our applications' data? Do we need to control who can access what? And what are the considerations when dealing with multi-cluster environments? This presentation will explore the essentials of securing application communications within a zero-trust architecture framework. Lin will explain how mutual TLS (mTLS) meets these requirements through its handshake and record protocols. Moreover, she’ll demonstrate live how you can implement mTLS for applications by simply labeling their namespaces, without any restart of applications or sidecars using Istio's ambient mesh.

Developing on Containers with Dev Containers - Hrittik Roy, Loft Labs
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
Cloud computing has been primarily used by companies for production environments for quite some time now. However, a small group of users have found ways to move their development environment to the cloud. This allows them to access all their shared libraries, build tools, and software development kits (SDKs) on the cloud. As a result, they can build and ship their applications natively on the cloud. Gartner reports that 60% of cloud workloads will be developed and deployed using Container Development Environments (CDEs). In this talk, you will primarily focus on how you can simplify the structure of your projects by utilizing modern standards like devcontainer.json and open source CDEs such as DevPod ( devpod.sh ) to reduce the cognitive load for contributors and eliminate unnecessary obstacles. Moreover, DevPod handles the lifecycle of the infrastructure it runs on, and it can even suspend cloud resources automatically to save on costs. By the end of the talk, you will make local development much easier while saving costs.

Sponsored Session: Sustaining Git Performance Under Heavy Workloads: GHS, an AI-driven Approach - Daniele Sassoli, GerritForge
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)
Git monorepos that are under heavy load quickly become inefficient or even inaccessible. This impacts client operations of all types (e.g., git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack), especially during search-for-reuse phase.
Currently, the only countermeasures are a full GC or a geometric repacking on a regular basis or based on metrics.

As the repo history grows, running a full GC takes longer, is more expensive, and risks introducing additional workload at inopportune times (e.g., running GC during a burst of repository activity may bring nodes to a standstill).
In this talk, we will introduce an AI-driven approach to maintaining the performance of large Git monorepos that undergo heavy workloads.
The AI model will explore and learn different strategies, including partial repacking, bitmap regeneration, empty directory removals, and more, by evaluating its success using reinforcement learning.

However, we were able to success the launced this model based on Honda's DNA of Waigaya, A00, and 120% quality products. The key point for this is the use of AOSP(Android Open Source Project) and some OSS. This presentation will show how a traditional automotive OEM like Honda was able to create an in-house software development team, and how it used OSS, including AOSP. By applying OpenChain(ISO/IEC 5230) self-certification and SPDX Lite to our development process, we were able to solve many problems and get a higher starting point. However, vehicles have difficult requirements, so we will tell you the points to minimize customization of OSS.

Once in a while, new processor architectures show up -- aarch64, RISC-V, Loongarch, Elbrus -- and more to come. Getting Linux distributions - especially those using binary packages - up on them has traditionally been difficult, but it doesn't have to be. For the new OpenMandriva RISC-V port, we have automated the process in a way that will also work for other new architectures (or even other core changes like spins using a different libc). This talk introduces the pitfalls and the Open Source tools we've used to overcome them.

Enhancing Kernel Functional Safety Analysis with KS-nav - Alessandro Carminati & Gabriele Paoloni, Red Hat
Monday September 16, 2024 12:35 - 12:55 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
In order to make functional safety claims on SW components, having a clear understanding of the underlying software architecture is crucial. However, if SW architectural documentation is missing, understanding how software operates and how its parts fit together can be challenging. For the Linux kernel and many other OSS SW, such documents are absent and instead, analysts must rely on code, which can be hard to read.
ks-nav is a tool designed to help in reverse engineering and understanding the code by generating diagrams that highlight the interactions between code elements and sub-elements.

ks-nav relies on binary images instead of source code analysis to get rid of the uncertainty introduced by configurations, compiler optimizations, and any other toolchain related issues. Additionally, using the MAINTAINERS file, it precisely pinpoints subsystems, enabling users to delve into their interactions with clarity.

This session focuses on:
* Why understanding the code is critical in FuSa activities;
* How ks-nav works, how it addresses the various challenges of analyzing the code;
* An example of how ks-nav can be used to support an expert-driven FMEA for a specific use case.

Promoting Group Wide Open Source Activity Within Sony by Identifying Common Key Open Source Project - Kazumi Sato & Masayuki Kuwata, Sony Group Corporation
Monday September 16, 2024 12:35 - 12:55 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
In this presentation, we present how an analysis of companies and technical trends can lead to the formation of group-wide community and participation in open source alliance organizations. We analyzed companies and technological trends in the related technology area to clarify the situation around the company direction from top-level executives. As a result, we identified important foundations and open source projects in which companies in the related technology area were actively involved. These projects are also important for the Sony Group business. However, due to the diverse nature of Sony's business entities, the organization responsible for video production was unaware of the significance within Sony group, even though they were aware of the trends in OSS and the importance for their own business. In contrast, the organization in the electronics field lacked awareness of video production trends. We tailored the analysis results to each organization and communicated them accordingly. This explanation led to valuable insights for each tech executive, resulting in the formation of group-wide community and participation in a related alliance organization.

More and more Operators automate deployment of cloud native applications in Kubernetes. Operators often automate the whole process of setting up and maintaining applications, including setting up the necessary workload resources, such as Deployments, StatefulSets and more. This poses a challenge for us Operator developers. Oftentimes, users of our Operator have specific requirements for the deployed workloads, restricting them to specific nodes, requiring additional configuration, added sidecar containers and many more. This talk shows how using kustomize in our Operator, we can simplify our own Operators while still allowing users the full range of customization. This even also allows for quick iteration during feature development.

Three years have passed since the issuance of the U.S. Executive Order (EO #14028), the adoption of SBOM in Japan has gradually progressed. Japanese companies are learning the minimum elements of SBOM which was published by NTIA, and are converting to a development process that takes automated SBOM generation into account. In July 2023, the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) published a guide on the introduction of SBOM for software management, then the second version is scheduled to be released this summer. In addition, in April 2024, Nikkei Computer, a prominent Japanese computer magazine, published a less than 20-page special feature on SBOM in its opening issue. In this session, Ayumi Watanabe, a Japanese SBOM evangelist and an advisor to METI's SBOM PoC project, will discuss the status of SBOM in Japan, including the content of METI's guidelines, and the maturity and challenges of SBOM implementation in Japanese companies.

Cross Industry Demands and Collaboration Opportunities in Open Source for Safety Critical Systems - Philipp Ahmann, Robert Bosch GmbH & Olivier Charrier, Wind River
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
The increasing computation power of embedded CPUs has revolutionized industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, or Industrial by enabling centralized and enhanced use cases, software-defined functionalities, and increased automation. The challenges of this increased complexity are often addressed by incorporating Open Source Software, particularly Linux, virtualization and RTOS. As these industries are heavily regulated by quality and safety-integrity standards, the certification of these highly complex systems becomes crucial.

Starting from the similarities and overlaps in system architecture design across use cases, this talk will explore the demands imposed by safety integrity standards in various industries. To develop these systems and adhere to required processes, the integration of tools and a high degree of automation is essential.

The authors show how Open Source projects bridge the gap between open source and safety-criticality, introducing tools and processes, and showcasing collaborative efforts in creating reproducible example system architectures. These systems can serve as a foundation for companies and projects adopting Open Source in safety-critical applications.

Linux in Space: Fault Detection, Recovery and Fault-Tolerant System Designs - Lenka Kosková Třísková & Lukas Mazl, Technical University of Liberec
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Linux in space must be highly reliable and autonomous, both because of the hostile external environment, the physical unavailability of the system, and the limited data flow and direct system administration capabilities. Radiation and other external influences lead to sudden shutdowns and system reboots. Also, data stored in storage devices are at risk of radiation and physical effects. Therefore, the design of a satellite always considers which parts of the system to duplicate or otherwise insure and how to ensure the system's ability to detect an error and recover. In the design of Linux4Space, we have encountered various approaches to solving the problem (from "we have two SD cards, and one is sure to last six months" to "fully duplicated storage and CPU with error detection"). We have reviewed the designs of other satellites and systems. In this paper, we provide some specific examples from natural satellites and summarize everything we have been able to find and track down for various other solutions, examples, and demonstrations.

The Devboards Community for Android - Amit Pundir, Linaro Ltd.
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
"Which device prototype or a development board do you suggest?" - got to be one of the most frequently asked question in the embedded workspace. Last year EOSS/ELC'23 was no different and we ran into similar questions around Android development boards. That planted the idea of enabling a community around the development boards or devices that provide decent AOSP (Android Open Source Project) support.

So we started working on The Devboards for Android community initiative https://devboardsforandroid.linaro.org to enable a collaborative space for AOSP system developers. We briefly talked about it at the Android Microconf at LPC'23 as well.

Overall idea of this project is to provide an umbrella space for collaboration and consolidate all the resources about the devices that are known to support AOSP reliably. For each supported device, links are made available to the kernel source, local manifests, device specific files and binaries (like bootloader, firmware, HALs) and documentation. We hope that this initiative will be instrumental in sharing and co-developing features like generic HALs across multiple devices and possibly enabling the supported devices with LAVA CI in the future.

Lightning Talk: Optimizing Kubernetes Multicluster Backup & Restore - Hường Đinh, Viettel Solutions
Monday September 16, 2024 14:25 - 14:35 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
In this presentation, I aim to address critical challenges in Kubernetes cluster management, particularly focusing on optimizing multicluster backup and restore processes using Velero. The current state of Kubernetes cluster management emphasizes the critical importance of implementing robust backup and restore processes. However, a challenge arises when dealing with multiple clusters, requiring the installation of Velero on each cluster, resulting in complex and resource-intensive multicluster Kubernetes environments. To address this issue, the proposed solution advocates for a centralized Velero installation, allowing for the backup and restore of individual clusters using their corresponding kubeconfig. The talk delves into the design architecture of multicluster backups, outlining how to integrate this approach with Velero's existing features. This innovative approach not only simplifies management but also optimizes resource utilization in a way that aligns with the evolving landscape of Kubernetes cluster operations. I aim for the audience to leave with actionable insights and a clear roadmap for implementing centralized backup strategies in their own multicluster setups.

Lightning Talk: Process Level Packet Filter for Containers Using eBPF - Ruturaj Mohite, IIIT Bangalore
Monday September 16, 2024 14:35 - 14:45 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
With the rise in container use, it's becoming crucial to safeguard compromised containers from malicious exploitation. A compromised container could be hijacked to join a network of computers to participating in a Denial of Service attack, leak sensitive information back to an attacker or be used to steal compute resources for mining cryptocurrency. Ruturaj introduces a packet filter built using eBPF to filter packets based on their L3 and L4 destination metadata (such as destination IP address and port) as well as the process and container (cgroup) of origin. This filter also detects any new containers at runtime and filters their traffic.

Lightning Talk: Cognitive and Self-Adaptive System for Effective Distributed-Tracing (Using Jaeger, Open Tracing) - Susobhit Panigrahi, Broadcom
Monday September 16, 2024 14:45 - 14:55 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
In the realm of distributed systems and microservices architecture,dynamic API tracing systems play a pivotal role in diagnosing API failures and performance issues.However, current implementations often sample only a fraction of traces(1-5%) due to storage and scale constraints,leading to a skewed distribution favoring normal execution traces.This bias hampers effective diagnosis,impacting both developers and SRE teams.Our proposed solution employs a Machine Learning and Cognitive approach to rectify this imbalance in trace collection. By dynamically adapting based on actual data, the system learns to capture higher-interest traces, helping root causing issues. This innovative approach has significantly improved the Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) for SRE teams, revolutionizing issue triaging within the organization. The Adaptive Sampling technique, driven by data analysis, standardizes trace distribution, reduces storage requirements, and dynamically adjusts the sampling rate.It lowers costs & resource utilization for tracing services, also streamlines trace metric analysis for SRE,offering a forward-looking solution to common challenges in the Observability and Infrastructure space.

How to Make Your Kubernetes Add-Ons Management Painless in Multi Cloud - Eleni Grosdouli & Gianluca Mardente, Cisco Systems
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
One of the most powerful aspects of Kubernetes is its extensibility. But with flexibility comes complexity. Deploying Kubernetes add-ons extend its functionality, but with most platform engineers managing and maintaining multiple clusters across different environments comes the pain. Giving a breather to platform administrators will allow them to be more productive and creative, while enabling them to perform deployments easily, quickly and reliably. From a small home lab to large-scale production environments, keeping up with Kubernetes add-ons deployment and management in a consistent, reliable, and maintainable manner can be like trying to find Nemo on the CNCF landscape. In this engaging session, we will demonstrate: - How smoothly Flux synchronises Kubernetes resources - How to use different add-on formats, including Helm charts, raw YAML/JSON highlighting the Lua language template creation for advanced deployments and logical application - How to deploy Cilium as a CNI - How to deploy Kyverno policies to clusters based on their scope as templates Attendees will learn a new, easy and creative way of deploying applications whether on-prem or in the cloud.

Bringing Existing Open-Source Code into MISRA Compliance - Roberto Bagnara, University of Parma and BUGSENG
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
Bringing an existing codebase into MISRA compliance is known to be a difficult, risky and time-consuming task. Yet, when a product needs a functional safety certification and rewriting the software is out of question, this is a necessity. Such an endeavor requires facing multiple tradeoffs and, consequently, lots of experience both on the codebase and on MISRA. The choices between deviating the guideline, and the (often, many) ways in which code may be changed and deviations may be formulated, are tough and with consequences that are not immediately evident. The situation is particularly interesting in the case of open-source software, where additional challenges have to be faced. In this presentation, we illustrate our experience and the several lessons learned while undertaking MISRA compliance work in open-source projects, most notably the Zephyr RTOS and the Xen hypervisor, both used in many embedded systems. Key take-home points include: effective deviation strategies and mechanisms; dealing with the MISRA C essential type model (guidelines related to that account for many of the violations in existing codebases); interaction with open-source communities.

Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
This presentation will show a step-by-step guide from hardware design to a fully functional Linux system. Initial considerations in the hardware design phase will help simplify the bringup. This includes designing for testability and incorporating features that make debugging easier, such as having accessible test points and providing instrumentation, such as a serial console and a JTAG interface. The next phase involves the bootloader, which is the first software component to run on the system. At this stage, we can use JTAG for early debugging to get some text output and eventually a console. The transition to the Linux kernel involves strategies that may include using JTAG again for early kernel debugging, followed by using printk and KDB for later diagnostics. The final phase involves the root file system and userspace tools that help bring up the rest of the peripherals. This final section of the presentation shows some userspace diagnostic and debugging tools for successfully getting a Linux-based system up and running.

DAMON Recipes: Ways to Save Memory Using a Linux Kernel Subsystem in the Real World - SeongJae Park, Amazon
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Room 0.49 - 0.50 (Level 0)
DAMON is a Linux kernel subsystem for efficient data access monitoring that has been integrated into the mainline since v5.15. The subsystem has been further developed into an access-aware system operating engine. In addition, userspace tools for DAMON have been developed to provide a human-friendly interface and additional userspace capabilities. Several major Linux distributions now offer DAMON-enabled kernels and user-space tool packages. Of course, not all use cases for DAMON are known, but the DAMON maintainer has been privileged to hear about some interesting and creative uses of DAMON from several people who primarily use DAMON for memory efficiency in their prototypes, researches, and products. In this talk, we'll give a brief introduction to the practical benefits and unique internal mechanisms that DAMON provides, with live demos of key features. We'll then detail real-world examples of DAMON use in prototypes, researches, and products. Finally, we'll show you how you can join the project community for participating to the development or get help. The rest of the talk will be followed by a Q&A.

Who Owns This Code? Navigating Code Ownership from InnerSource to Open Source - Clare Dillon, Lero, CURIOSS & Tom Sadler, BBC
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
In this session we will dive into the world of code ownership and examine the lines between "mine", "yours", and "ours" in open source and InnerSource projects. We’ll look at the different ways that you can consider the question: “who owns this code?” and how that may differ in open source and InnerSource practices. We’ll unpack the idea of hard vs. soft ownership. We’ll share real-life examples of different code ownership models, showing how they can impact project quality and sustainability. We’ll show how ownership can help empower teams to create and contribute to open source, but also where it can put up barriers. We’ll share some ways to create clarity in the area and examine some of the more subtle challenges related to toxic ownership cultures. This session aims to give attendees insights and strategies to foster effective code ownership in open source and InnerSource projects.

Fine-Grained Policies RBAC with OpenFGA - José Carlos Chávez, Okta
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
The fine-grained nature of cloud native deployments requires fine-grained authorization at each component. However, this may require security policies to be centrally defined and the configurations reflecting them to be defined in each microservice to enable uniform, consistent enforcement across the entire system which is hard to model and maintain. OpenFGA is an open source solution to Fine-Grained Authorization that applies the concept of Relationship-based access control (ReBAC) where a subject's permission to access a resource is defined by the presence of relationships between those subjects and resources. It was designed for reliability and low latency at a high scale. This talk will offer an overview of OpenFGA, ReBAC and its advantages over more traditional RBAC and ABAC in the context of Zero Trust.

Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
This session is about often unexpected and sometimes intricate defects that may either occur infrequently, seemingly randomly, or only in very specific corner cases.

These defects are often overlooked by developers, and most tests may not discover them either, despite how widespread they are, often lurking in plain sight, waiting to strike at the most unfortunate moment.
In this session, we will take a look at some code examples, we will talk about the sometimes surprising ways in which things can go wrong, and about how to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Embedded Audio Policies Made Easy with WirePlumber - George Kiagiadakis, Collabora
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Building robust audio policies on embedded systems that integrate well with upstream APIs and components such as PipeWire and PulseAudio has been a challenging task for a long time. In many implementations, custom hardware DSP management components are built, bypassing existing upstream functionality, making integration and maintenance harder than they need to be. In this talk, George will explain how many of these difficulties can be overcome by integrating management directly into WirePlumber, the default session manager of PipeWire, and how existing functionality can be factored in to build complex solutions with ease. Emphasis will be given also on how recent developments in WirePlumber have improved this particular use case.

Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
More and more applications of embedded linux systems require them to ensure that only trusted software is started on the device. This means that verified boot procedures need to be employed to verify the software running on the device. This talk will highlight the necesssary components to cryptographically verify the bootloader, kernel and filesystem. It will also show how these components can be integrated using the OpenEmbedded build system. Bootloader verification will be covered by providing examples to use the signing.bbclass in Yocto in conjunction with the NXP CST tool to sign a bootloader, kernel verification is covered by a to be upstreamed fitimage class and filesystem verification will be shown with a dm-verity class example for Yocto. Additionally the talk will highlight common pitfalls when deploying locked down embedded systems encountered during project work. We will also cover the case of using GPLv3 licenses on locked down devices.

New Challenges Towards Spatial Safety in the Linux Kernel - Gustavo A. R. Silva, The Linux Foundation
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 0.49 - 0.50 (Level 0)
The first flexible-array transformation we implemented in the kernel, as part of the Kernel Self-Protection Project, took place back in March 2019. At the time, our work on preventing integer overflows during memory allocations led us to discover an 8-year-old bug. Addressing this bug not only resolved a longstanding issue but also initiated the work of flexible-array transformations across the whole kernel tree. This marked the beginning of a challenging yet rewarding journey to add bounds-checking on trailing arrays in the Linux kernel. Five years have passed since then, and we've come a long way. We have now new Clang and GCC hardening compiler options and attributes, that significantly improve the security of the Linux kernel, particularly in the spatial-safety area. We have new hardening helpers that make traditional methods less prone to error. In general, we have new and safer ways of doing things, which usually require a learning curve, even for seasoned kernel developers. In this talk, we will walk through the most recent challenges and history of our quest to improve spatial safety in the Linux kernel, and with that, get rid of out-of-bounds bugs once and for all.

The Power of Mentorship: Your Path to Open Source Success - Stephanie Taylor, Google
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
Developers interested in making their first contributions to open source communities often aren’t sure where to start - what community is a good fit, will the community be interested in their ideas, how do they take that first step into a community? You have learned some basics about open source but where do you put those coding skills to work and find cool open source communities doing interesting work you care about? For 20 years Google Summer of Code has helped bridge this gap for over 20,000 beginners to open source (students, young professionals, career switchers, etc.) and helped them find over 1,000 welcoming communities prepared to mentor them as they start their open source journey. Many mentorship programs (Outreachy, LFX) are designed to bring new contributors into the open source ecosystem to keep diverse perspectives coming into OSS. Learn about GSoC and other programs that you can join to put into practice the OSS skills you have been learning.

What Makes a Good, or Bad, Open Source Experience?! - Ildiko Vancsa, Open Infrastructure Foundation & Philip Robb, Ericssson Software Technology
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Open source means a lot of things to a lot of people. That may be why it’s one of the most misunderstood and misused terms in tech and related ecosystems. In fact, if you ask ten different people in tech “what is open-source?”, you are likely to get ten very different answers. We know, we’ve done it! So what makes a “good” or “bad” experience for users and participants in open-source projects? Ildiko and Phil have set out to answer this question with their “My Open Source Experience” podcast. They are talking to seasoned professionals and newbies, to understand the challenges and successes they’ve experienced so far. Questions they ask include: Was it the code, the community, or the person's employer that made their experience better or worse? How did people navigate difficulties? What are “best practices” to achieve “success” however that is defined for individuals, their organization, and/or their community? In this talk Ildiko and Phil share some of the most interesting take-aways from their conversations with podcast guests as well as from their own open source journeys, and invite the audience to join the conversation and share their experiences.

Open Source Compliance Management - Removing the Thorn from Your Company's Side - Eleftheria Stefanaki & Jimmy Ahlberg, Ericsson
Monday September 16, 2024 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
This session covers two major topics: Firstly, the significance of an open source management system in the context of IP management for heavily software-dependent companies. Managing open source dependencies is a key pain-point, since so much of modern software development depends on it. Yet only a small number of people truly understand open source beyond “just the code”. Although a company's heavily intellectual property (IP)-involved departments deal with IP management everyday, they are oblivious to open source software. This talk suggests ways to translate the ‘open source talk’ and make these departments your comrades in arms. Secondly, the speakers introduce the OpenChain Specification 2.1 (ISO/IEC 5230:2020) on open source license compliance, aka a framework and a blueprint for how to translate open source management into IP management. This session gives you the tools to turn the view of open source from a potential liability to a valuable asset. The speakers pull from their experience working in IP heavy weights such as Ericsson (more than 60.000 granted patents globally) to put the above into context and give example of Ericsson’s ongoing journey in this area.

Linux Power Management Features, Their Relationships and Interactions - Théo Lebrun, Bootlin
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Over time, many features have been introduced into the Linux kernel to tackle various Power Management related needs. Most features rely upon the device model to provide its features, making each feature in isolation have rather understandable behavior and straight forward APIs. Complexity can creep in however when those various features interact with each other. We'll therefore cover features in isolation: system-wide suspend, hibernation, runtime power management, power domains, Quality of Service, etc. On each new step added, we'll stop to reflect on potential interactions or conflicts with previously seen features. Some of those will come from concrete issues encountered during the upstreaming effort of Suspend-to-RAM support on an automative SoC, the TI J7200 platform.

Visions for the Linux Kernel PWM Subsystem - Uwe Kleine-König, BayLibre
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
PWMs are used in a wide range of applications. Most in-kernel usages have only soft requirements regarding precision and switching behaviour (LEDs, fan control, backlight). However if you control a motor you might have higher demands that currently cannot be mapped generically using the current PWM API given the wide variance of hardware drivers and hardware limitations. In this talk Uwe presents his vision how the PWM framework can be changed to better match the needs for higher precision and better control of PWM devices. This includes: * faster and easier control from userspace * tighter rules for lowlevel drivers * a way to determine the best request for a given use case on a certain hardware * more general abstraction of the PWM waveform

How to Contribute a Zephyr Sensor Driver - Maureen Helm, Analog Devices
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
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.

Give Me Back My GPIO Persistence! (Introducing the Libgpiod Gpio-Manager) - Bartosz Golaszewski, Linaro
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:50 - 10:10 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Ever since the GPIO character device was introduced as a proposed uAPI replacement for the deprecated sysfs interface, users have been pointing to the lack of persistence of GPIO state (as in: once the user-space process closes the file descriptor associated with a set of requested lines, their state is no longer defined - in practice: it's driver dependent) as the main issue with the new approach and a significant blocker in porting code from sysfs to libgpiod. Two solutions have been proposed: making the GPIO state persistent in the kernel or providing a centralized authority for controlling GPIOs from user-space. For various reasons the former has been rejected which led to the development of gpio-manager: a user-space daemon built on top of libgpiod that exposes an API to authorized clients and controls GPIOs on their behalf. This talk will present the features of the daemon, the DBus API it implements and the companion command-line client - gpiocli - which aims at allowing straightforward porting of sysfs-based scripts to the new interface.

Heterogeneous Linux and RTOS Software Architecture for Low-Price RISC-V Cores - Jim Huang, National Cheng Kung University
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
SoCs are increasingly heterogeneous, featuring multiple processor clusters and special-purpose accelerators. Consequently, Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) systems must support different operating environments concurrently on the same chip. This talk will outline the software architecture necessary to develop applications for AMP systems, enabling operating systems to interact across a range of complex homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures. This allows AMP applications to utilize the parallelism offered by various configurations. We perform prototyping on low-cost RISC-V processor cores configured as AMP systems running the Linux kernel and RTOSes such as ThreadX. This setup involves an IPC layer that implements RPMSG communication between cores. Additionally, our proxy infrastructure showcases the ability of a proxy on the master core to handle POSIX library calls from RTOS-based remote contexts.

Zephyr Build System: Sysbuild and New Hardware Model - Torsten Tejlmand Rasmussen, Nordic Semiconductor
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
The Zephyr build system had been reaching its limits in its ability to build multiple images for modern SoCs in its previous hardware model.
The original build system began with the concept of a simple board containing a single core SoC for which you would build a single image. In today's world however, developers want to build multiple images for boards which may have multiple SoCs and / or SoCs with multiple CPU cores. This evolution towards complexity led us to the development and introduction of sysbuild and a new hardware model in Zephyr.

The purpose of this talk is to dive into the new hardware model, and what it provides seen from a developer's point of view, and from there continue into sysbuild, where the new hardware model is leveraged in order to build multiple images for a single device. The talk will go over how you as a developer can make the best use of the new hardware model and sysbuild to effectively build a complete project.

Pinctrl and GPIO - Interactions and Footguns - Chen-Yu Tsai, Google LLC
Tuesday September 17, 2024 10:10 - 10:30 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
The Linux Kernel has two subsystems that handle external pins: pinctrl that handles function muxing and electrical characteristics, and GPIO that handles generic input/output usage on individual pins. Depending on how the hardware is implemented, the two could be completely separate, or deeply intertwined. This presentation will introduce the hardware integration designs , how they should map to the kernel subsystems. We will dive deeper into the latter case and show how the kernel subsystems can handle it properly with "strict" GPIO pin muxing, and what could happen if the driver isn't implemented correctly, using existing in-tree drivers.

Secure and Encrypted Boot in Zephyr RTOS - Parthiban N, Linumiz
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:20 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
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.

Testing Your Yocto Project - from Ptest and Testimage to LAVA - Clara Kowalsky & Florian Bezdeka, Siemens
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Before setting up a test automation framework for your Yocto project, it is worth considering which options are available and most suitable. In this talk, we will explore which tools are appropriate depending on project complexity and scalability. For a small Yocto project where a test environment needs to be up and running as quickly as possible and only one piece of hardware is supported, a complete test setup can be created using only the testimage class for image testing and ptest for package testing. The tests can be carried out locally or in a CI/CD system. Using Gitlab CI/CD as an example, we will show how the results of testimage can be neatly displayed as a unit test report. For more complex projects that support a variety of architectures and require tests to be automatically scheduled on devices, it is advisable to use an automated test framework. We will demonstrate how ptest and pytest can be integrated into a LAVA test environment and what alternatives to LAVA exist.

The Case for an SoC Power Management Driver - Stephen Boyd, Google
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
DeviceTree (DT) based systems usually lack a platform or firmware based device power management framework. Device drivers are left to figure out if a device is already powered on at probe and duplicate power management logic to manage system resources such as clks or interconnects. This is unlike ACPI based systems where the firmware provides standardized device power states to power on or off a device and mostly hides system resources behind a firmware interface. This session will make the case for implementing an ACPI-like power management framework in the Linux kernel via pmdomains registered by a System-on-Chip (SoC) driver. First we'll discuss the problem and previously attempted or ongoing solutions. Then we'll cover a case study implementing an SoC power management driver. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of SoC power management techniques and the problems kernel developers face in supporting such hardware upstream along with a possible solution to implement this design elsewhere.

How to Generate Test-Cases and Data Mocks for Microservices at Kernel Using eBPF - Neha Gupta & Animesh Pathak, Keploy
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 1.61 & Room 1.62 (Level 1)
In this session, we're going to talk about how we can easily record the API calls of any user-level application at Kernel using an EBPF program and convert those to realistic test cases and data mocks/stubs without writing any scripts. How we can set our testing pipelines on auto-pilot? We'll be discussing how to utilise UProbes and KProbes for the same. We'll also talk about how we can integrate this pipeline in popular language native testing libraries like JUnit, Jest, and Go-Test and easily achieve high test coverage on functional test suites. Since testing is very use-case specific, developers often avoid spending effort in writing test cases. Manual effort is being spent by QA to test apps and the industry standard for test automation is 24%. On average 50% of engineering efforts are spent to write and maintain the test scripts. Creating dummy test data is also very time-consuming and still, it is unrealistic test -data, leaving bugs leaking to production. The new-gen AI LLM-based test generation tools like ChatGPT are not fire-and-forget, since it requires effort to understand and correct the scripts generated by those tools and the dummy data is again unrealistic.

Rusty Swapping: Rewriting a Zswap Backend in Rust - Vitaly Wool, Konsulko AB
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.49 - 0.50 (Level 0)
Despite all controversies, Rust in recent times has gained popularity as the second Linux kernel high-level language. There’s been discussions about its applicability in various kernel subsystems which yielded tentative conclusions. People have been advised by kernel gurus to use Rust for subsystem implementations rather than for drivers, and the author totally shares that stance. With that said, the author had a zswap backend called zblock ready for but still not accepted into the mainline, so the idea came naturally: to rewrite it in Rust and compare performance and complexity of the two implementations. Whichever wins gets submitted. This talk will cover the main principles of zblock (which stay the same no matter the language used), the obstacles the author met while implementing it in Rust, and finally the comparison of the two. It will be fun.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
We will explore Conversational AI that works like the Web. In this talk, we explore the pivotal role of OVON Specs in the Open Voice Network's Interoperability Initiative. We highlight how OVON Specs are crucial in crafting a universal, open-source AI voice interface for seamless cross-platform assistant integration. We'll delve into OVON Specs' practical applications and collaborative potential, showcasing their versatility and impact in the evolving landscape of conversational AI, and how they're shaping the future of voice technology. When we talk about the combination of Voice and AI, it’s not just about a new way of communicating, instead, we are dealing with a human biometric feature unique to us. It's useful to design standardization protocols and guidelines for Conversational AI interoperability and scalability: we will run through the current architecture proposed by the Open Voice Interoperability group, part of the Linux Foundation, working on the Conversational AI Universal API Message envelope specifications for interoperability: we will share how to play with the available sandbox and some ethical use cases powered with AI Retrieval Augmented Generation as well.

Panel Discussion: Bring Your Product Manager to the Open Source Party - Nithya Ruff, Amazon; Jeffrey Borek, IBM; and Mary (Meixia) Wang, Volvo Car Corporation
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Open source is not just a tactical choice for consumption made by a developer. Open source should be a key part of your innovation plan and strategy, and product managers and business leaders need to understand it. From managing a key open source dependency to releasing open source for building an ecosystem and standards, to joining an open source foundation as a core part of a business plan, business owners need to know open source. Often, the business side of the house is not involved in open source decisions and don’t see it as business impacting. This session is about how to get the business side of the house involved in opens source. It is understanding the business planning process and how to ensure open source is included in that process. Whether it is ideation for a new product, managing ongoing investments in a product line or in marketing and launches, open source is a key component of business plans. As the head of the OSPO at Amazon, I work to build bridges with the business side of the house and to show them implications to the business of open source decisions we make. They need to be involved, support and invest in how we do open source at a company.

The Challenges of Public Code - Building an Open Source Culture at the BBC - Tom Sadler & David Buckhurst, BBC
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
This talk looks at how corporate and team culture, and organisational structure, impact open source activities at the BBC. We will share our wins and losses in the open source space, and how the culture and organisation has helped or hindered open source. Much of BBC open source is driven by grassroots individuals and teams, rather than through an Open Source Programme Office, which has had benefits and drawbacks. As a publicly funded corporation, the motivations for engaging with open source can be a little different than other organisations, which we will explore. Finally, we will deep dive into the current state of play of open source and InnerSource projects at the BBC, how they are being managed, and what our next steps and future ambitions are.

Tutorial: How to Win Friends & Influence LLMs (with Prompt Engineering) - Rafael Vasquez & James Busche, IBM
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 12:35 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
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.

Lightning Talk: The CFU: Custom Hardware with RISCV and Zephyr - Mohammed Billoo, MAB Labs Embedded Solutions
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:05 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
RISC-V's instruction set architecture (ISA) has enabled seasoned embedded software engineers to experiment with FPGAs since numerous open-source RISC-V cores can be flashed onto an FPGA.

The Zephyr Project is rapidly emerging as a leading real-time operating system (RTOS). Zephyr integrates open-source and security best practices to ensure a vendor-neutral, secure, and reliable platform.

One of the exciting features of the RISCV ISA is the Custom Function Unit (CFU), which enables a framework to support custom operations in hardware, which is accessible from software. In this talk, Mohammed will demonstrate how to add a CFU into a RISCV core on an FPGA, and how to make the appropriate calls from Zephyr.

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 2.15 (Level 2)
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.

Understanding the OCI Spec: Peeling Through the Layers - Akhil Mohan, VMware by Broadcom
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
The Open Container Initiative (OCI) was established to create standards for container formats and runtimes. Currently encompassing three specifications - image, runtime, and distribution; the OCI sets the standard for container images, container execution from a filesystem bundle, and content distribution. In this presentation, I will delve into the details of commonly employed features within the container landscape, shedding light on the fundamental concepts that govern them. This will make users understand about the underlying processes, addressing basic queries such as the rationale behind a container image download displaying a seemingly random list of digests. By providing a comprehensive overview, this talk aims to help users with a deeper understanding of the OCI's workings, facilitating a more informed approach to containerization. The talk will mostly focus on the different OCI specifications, how to read and understand them, and how those specs govern the lifecycle of a container. A quick run down on the OCI spec 1.1 will also be done as part of the presentation

Building and Maintaining Binary Distributions with Yocto - Michael Opdenacker, Independent
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Imagine a world in which you can try the Yocto Project without even using it. This was possible in the past with the Ångström distribution, offering ready-made images which could be extended through binary package feeds. Though Ångström is long gone, the Yocto Project still has the ability to generate such images and package feeds. While system makers are still using this feature, the Yocto Project itself has never published such binaries. The Yocto Project, thanks to funding from the Sovereign Tech Fund, has recently developed its abilities to support binary distributions, by creating tooling to verify the ability to upgrade the images built for its releases through package feeds, and to support managing a "local" distribution that can customize packages offered by an "upstream" distribution. Since Yocto is about recipes, I will first present a cookbook for building your own images so that they can be updated through package feeds. I will then describe the recently developed features related to binary distributions and what possibilities they open for the Yocto Project and its users.

8 years ago, at ELCE 2016, Geert talked about the benefits and modalities of organizing development boards in a board farm, and he introduced his personal board farm. Since then, more boards found their way into his farm, with more to come. Also, other developers asked him for remote access to his boards. In this presentation, Geert will talk about the evolution of his board farm. He will tell you about things that worked well, or didn't work well, and how he improved his farm, using readily available or custom hardware. He will discuss the challenges of growing your farm, in a changing world plagued by supply chain hick-ups. He will present a way to share boards in your farm with other developers and (automated) testers, using the backend-agnostic "FRAM" tool to grant remote control to only one or more boards, and not to your whole local infrastructure.

Linux Sandboxing with Landlock - Mickaël Salaün, Microsoft
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.49 - 0.50 (Level 0)
Landlock's goal is to make it possible for Linux applications to sandbox themselves. On Linux, many traditional access control mechanisms are only available to the system administrator, which do not follow the principle of least privilege. As a result, sandboxing policies were created independently of an actual program execution, leading to unnecessarily broad policies. With Landlock, unprivileged processes can safely create sandboxing policies well-tailored to the expected needs of a running application. Landlock also solves the organizational aspect of keeping policy and software in sync with each other, by putting the policy definition and maintenance in the developer's hands. In this talk, we explain how Landlock works and how it can be used to protect Linux users, without being noticed, except by attackers.

Optimized String Processing in RISC-V: How Toolchain Improvements Can Boost Performance - Christoph Müllner, VRULL GmbH
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 1.61 & Room 1.62 (Level 1)
The C runtime offers a range of string processing routines, such as strcmp() and strlen(). The throughput of these routines has a significant impact on many applications and benchmarks, so they are one of the many optimization targets of toolchain developers. Unfortunately, these functions have certain properties and corner cases that limit the optimization opportunities. This talk makes a journey through common optimization techniques ranging from utilization of alignment information in the compiler. It ends with specific instructions that speed up string processing (RISC-V’s orc.b instruction). Further, the talk will show how these optimizations can boost the throughput on real HW by orders of magnitudes in synthetic benchmarks and the impact on the SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark suite. The presentation will include assembly listings, so basic assembly knowledge will help follow the talk.

Bridging the Gap: Incorporating Open Source Into Product Managers' Toolbox - Philipp Ahmann, Robert Bosch GmbH
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
In the world of product management, spread sheets and analysis tools dominate the daily business. However, when it comes to open source, many product managers struggle to quantify its benefits and limit it to risk and compliance handling. This session aims to bridge the gap between the open source community and product managers by exploring how open source can be incorporated into their existing tools and considerations. While traditional tools focus on quantifiable metrics, the non-quantifiable benefits of open source communities, such as technology awareness and company insights, are often overlooked. By integrating open source considerations and measuring points into existing tools and perspectives, including monetary quantifiable numbers, product managers can build a comprehensive business case that captures the value of open source. Attendees of this session will gain insights into the tools and considerations that product managers employ in their journey towards product innovation. By understanding product manager perspectives and needs, the open source community can better collaborate and support the integration of open source into product development processes.

Policing Open-Source Projects at Scale - Thomas Neidhart, Eclipse Foundation
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
Large open-source foundations like the Eclipse Foundation are faced with the challenge of maintaining thousands of repositories for the numerous projects and monitoring that these repositories adhere to certain policies and security guidelines to provide an open, transparent and secure environment for the development of open-source software. We would like to present our approach to tackle these challenges: a system where our projects as hosted on GitHub have their configuration stored as code in a repository itself, and project members can request changes to this configuration by opening a pull request, and once approved, changes get applied automatically. With this approach it is possible to make the current infrastructure of a project transparent to everyone involved, highlight items that should be addressed to adhere to certain policies and empower teams to improve and secure their repositories more easily. In this talk we would also like to outline what we have learned while rolling out this service to projects at the Eclipse Foundation and how such an approach can help to increase collaboration in your community as members are able to learn from each other.

In addition to different main processor cores, these two platforms have quite different camera and display interfaces, and one has a limited frame buffer capability, leading to required improvements in the display driver which NXP has contributed back to the project. This session will also explore the specifics of how devicetree and Kconfig were leveraged to switch between platforms.

Lightning Talk: Implementing the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in the Zephyr Project - Adam Wojasiński, BayLibre
Tuesday September 17, 2024 12:25 - 12:35 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
In order for highly distributed communication to function well, there must be a reliable time source and a way to synchronize time between devices. In applications such as automotive and industrial control, the requirements here can be strict and subject to regulatory constraints. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a response to these hard time synchronization requirements by achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range.

As Zephyr becomes more broadly used in these environments, it needs support for precision timekeeping. This talk will cover a brief overview of PTP, discussion of various implementation choices for Zephyr, challenges along the way and upstreaming plans.

Developing Wildlife Camera Traps with Zephyr RTOS - Alex Bucknall, Arribada Initiative
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:20 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Monitoring wildlife and environmental changes often requires deploying remote camera traps that can capture imagery and activity over long periods of time. These camera systems need to be low-power, portable, and easily adapted to different hardware configurations based on project requirements.

This talk will cover how we utilised Zephyr to develop flexible time lapse camera solutions for conservation applications. We’ll explore our time lapse camera deployment in Bermuda and how we’re using Zephyr to monitor and understand the impact of seagrass decay on the local marine life. Zephyr allowed us to rapidly target different hardware platforms by abstracting away complex hardware interactions. We'll discuss how Zephyr's hardware and driver APIs simplify peripheral access to cameras, RTCs, and power management features across multiple vendor SoCs.

Additionally, we'll explore challenges associated with this kind of cross-platform support, such as lack of core features for certain vendor SoCs. We'll also share insights into optimising for size, performance, and battery life on constrained embedded devices.

Let Them Eat CAKES: A Sweet Dive Into a Modern Cloud Networking Stack. - Christian Posta, Solo.io
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
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.

Inspecting and Optimizing Memory Usage in Linux - João Marcos Costa, Bootlin
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Considering a context where the hardware platform disposes of a restricted amount of RAM, developers need to understand how this resource is managed and consumed by the operating system and the applications running on it. In such situations, it is crucial to use the right metrics and tooling to identify which components are excessively allocating resources, trim them down, and finally get close to the strict necessary memory usage without compromising essential features. This presentation explores RAM management in the Linux kernel, focusing on how much memory is allocated across different areas and for what purposes. From a kernel space perspective, it will dive into the components of memory reserved in early boot. Considering the user space perspective, the presentation will explain how much memory is used by processes, both individually and collectively.

Hall C (Level 2)
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.

The ambiguity surrounding terminology and general uncertainty amplifies the end-of-life/end-of-support problem: What is end-of-life? How is end-of-life different from end-of-support? How does this affect supply chain and operational security? This presentation will begin with an overview of the EOL/EOS problem and suggest definitions for key terms to the discussion. Creating shared terminology can support the community in facilitating discussions around EOL/EOS and generating solutions. This presentation will map the EOL/EOS problem to other ongoing discussions including software naming and versioning, acknowledging that this is not a new problem and it is unlikely there is one singular solution. The presentation will also include discussion of the potential role of existing software transparency and supply chain security efforts, such as SBOM, VEX, and CSAF, may play in managing EOL/EOS. We will highlight the OpenEoX efforts from the OASIS community seeking to develop an open source, standardized method to ascertain the EOL/EOS status of products, as well as other ongoing policy efforts. The presentation will close with time for feedback on the presentation and discussion.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 15:35 CEST
Room 0.49 - 0.50 (Level 0)
IT infrastructure is all over the place: Cloud VPC's, edge servers, data centers, office networks, and more. Much of it exists on private networks or behind routers and firewalls. IT administrators are often tasked with making these resources available over the internet to employees or remote servers that are elsewhere on earth. In this tutorial, we'll use just a couple of VM's running Linux and WireGuard to set up a minimal, secure, and easily-maintainable remote access system. We'll demonstrate with a fictional business that has a physical office, uses the cloud, and has remote IT staff, an extremely common scenario. We'll walk attendees through: 1. How to set up secure access to the office network from the remote staffs' workstations. 2. How to establish access to a cloud VPC from servers in the office network. 3. How to account for corporate firewalls and other common networking challenges. By the end of this tutorial, attendees will have a good understanding of how they can use Linux and WireGuard in common IT networking scenarios.

Exploring the Potential of Zephyr in Automotive and Software Defined Vehicles - Philipp Ahmann, Robert Bosch GmbH
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:20 - 14:40 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
In the automotive industry more than 100 embedded control units (ECUs) are present in a typical car. They are equipped with microcontrollers responsible for various peripherals within the vehicle. Although it may be challenging to adapt automotive-specific interfaces to an IoT-driven RTOS like Zephyr, the use of standard peripherals such as GPIOs, I2C, and UART can lead to significant synergies with other products.

However, as starting point, the talk will delve into the automotive specific requirements and technology stacks necessary for integrating Zephyr into automotive development. Additionally, it will highlight areas where Zephyr may not yet be a perfect fit for automotive applications. Key touchpoints for discussion will include the compatibility of Zephyr with established automotive standards like Autosar, COVESA VSS, and CAN stack. Furthermore, the talk will address the challenges related to process compliance and adherence to safety integrity standards in the automotive industry.

This talk aims to initiate a discussion on the potential wider adoption of Zephyr in automotive products and to foster an engaging discussion among industry professionals.

Lightning Talk: Open Source Fleet Management in Zephyr - Maciej Sobkowski, Antmicro
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:05 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Complex, real-life embedded system deployments often consist of multiple SoCs/MCUs running a mix of OSes, ranging from user-facing high-end nodes based on Linux/Android to MCUs dedicated to controlling specific low-level functions of the device, using an RTOS like Zephyr. Over-the-air updates for such systems poses a challenge, as the firmware needs to be updated in a safe & coordinated way.

Remote Device Fleet Manager is a permissively licensed, fully open source and self-hostable framework for modular, configurable OTA updates, fleet management and ML data management that supports Linux, Android, and, since recently, also Zephyr-based platforms.

This talk will delve into how RDFM was extended to support Zephyr-based systems, the motivations and considerations of the development and some interesting use cases it enables. RDFM allows for fully redundant updates, incl. rollback to the previous version, grouped device updates and mixed OS deployments.

To enable tight interoperability with Zephyr's ecosystem, the integration is based on the MCUmgr library, communicating with Zephyr devices via the SMP protocol. The MCUboot bootloader is used for managing the firmware on the device.

Licensing Support by Build Systems - and What Remains To Be Done - Jan Altenberg, Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL) eG
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Building embedded Linux systems is getting increasingly complex. The complexity does not only come from the technical aspects. The number of different packages and dependencies also make the fulfilment of license obligations quite challenging. Build systems and distro generators support us with this task. They can help in getting an overview of the licenses being used and packaging the relevant compliance material. But how far does their support really go? And is the information being provided complete?

This presentation will take a look into different licensing obligations (e.g. information obligations and disclosure obligations) and (based on the examples of the Yocto project, ELBE and ISAR) the licensing support of modern build systems will be evaluated.

Messing up Your NUMA Topology with CXL - Hannes Reinecke, SUSE Linux
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Room 1.61 & Room 1.62 (Level 1)
his presentation will focus on CXL (Compute Express Link) as an advanced interconnect between machines and peripherals. CXL allows to leverage the PCIe physical interconnect to link together different device types (CPU, memory, I/O, cache, switches etc) into a combined hierarchy. This allows IHVs to create tailored solutions for eg large-scale AI systems or dynamic resource pooling between machines. As it's also possible to connect or pool memory resources it means the we can end up with some really interesting NUMA topologies. Plus we need to look at memory placement, as CXL memory is inherently hotpluggable, and as such not really suitable for some data structures like DMA areas etc. In this talk I will give an overview over CXL and the implications for NUMA topologies, and I'll be giving a short demo with an emulated CXL instance under qemu.

Towards Industrial AI Governance Inspired by OSPO: A Primer - Zoran Jovanovic, Volvo Car Corporation
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Strategic position of AI development in industrial settings, the surrounding regulations, and organizational challenges, have an interesting analogy in how we deal with Open Source Software on industrial scale. Definition of governance as set of processes and guidelines for decision making within an organization gives us an opportunity to apply similar abstract models to seemingly different areas of endeavor such as AI production and consumer organizations, on one side, and Open Source Software, on the other. The learnings from running technical operations of OSPOs translate remarkably well into this model. Intake, compliance, distribution, so well known in the world of Open Source Program Offices, with its federated democratized governance, are some of the pillars of the processes that drive AI production and consumption organizations. In this talk we will try to shed some light on how in Volvo Cars we approach practical aspects of these growing processes.

Panel Discussion: Measuring the Health of Open Source Projects in Public Health - Cynthia Lo, GitHub and World Health Organization; Samuel Mbuthia, World Health Organization; Liliana Torres Sanchez, GitHub; Ian Candy, GitHub; Andrew Henry, GitHub
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
This session will showcase how open source metrics can be used for monitoring open source projects developed for global health challenges. GitHub and the World Health Organization (WHO) partnered to build a framework for tracking and analyzing the health of open source projects. The WHO, an international public health agency of the United Nations, utilizes and creates open source digital tools to enhance global health efforts for remote care, disease surveillance, epidemiological modeling, health information systems for data collection and analysis, and digital platforms for emergency response. Within these tools, challenges exist in monitoring open source: the lack of a high level view of best practices adopted by various open source projects; linking open source practices to realized impact in the public health; and building interest in open source work and advocating for more open source development within the global health community. This presentation will highlight these challenges, discuss opportunities to tackle them and close with an open dialogue on how open source projects can be measured, and drive collaboration between the OS community and public health practitioners.

VSCorode: Inside Your IDE, Inside Your Git Repository - Kevin Ward & Fabian Kammel, ControlPlane
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
For several years now we’ve heard the mantra of shifting left to move security as early as possible in the development process. The aim is to enable developers to understand and produce secure code right away. The primary method to support developers is to enhance their IDE with extensions which can identify security issues, highlight insecure code practices and handle integration with external services. VSCode is one of the most popular IDEs with a flourishing community of extensions for data manipulation, theming, programmatic language features and additional debugging functionality. There is a great deal of trust placed in these extensions so what would happen if an extension turned against you? This talk explores the supply chain risks associated with VSCode extensions, what is required to get an extension included in the marketplace and how simply we hand over control to an unknown third party. We will demonstrate what an adversary can achieve with a malicious extension and how it represents a future red team target from enumeration, persistence and execution.Lastly we’ll offer advice on how to prevent common attack paths.

Lightning Talk: Delta Firmware Over The Air (DFOTA) Update: Optimizing Device Updates in Zephyr - Romain Pelletant & Clovis Corde, Kickmaker
Tuesday September 17, 2024 15:05 - 15:15 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) updates are a well-established method for updating devices, but this approach shows its limitations in the embedded world. Indeed, in embedded systems we have 2 main constraints (among others) when discussing firmware updates : memory and bandwidth. Regarding memory, developing a low-memory-footprint API was our priority when creating this solution. To explain how we built this API, we will discuss compression algorithms and justify our choice of implementing in Zephyr the open-source library "Heatshrink" which is ideally suited for DFOTA's needs and for embedded systems in general (we can demonstrate the memory footprint differences compared to the already implemented compression algorithm "LZ4"). Next, we will see how deltas (or patches) between two firmware versions are generated (we could present a benchmark to illustrate the data savings achieved by sending patches instead of the full firmware, as it is done during FOTA update). Further, we will explore the implementation of the DFOTA API to explain how it works and how it can be implemented into your project.

Using Zephyr OS, we successfully developed three firmware versions in under two years, establishing a scalable wireless sensor network for enhanced railway infrastructure monitoring.

This talk will detail the rationale behind our technology selections, including Zephyr OS, BLE, LTE-M, and AWS Iot Core.

We will discuss specific features of Zephyr that facilitated rapid development and the aspects that presented a learning curve. Our session will explore critical design decisions, architectural frameworks using Zephyr, and effective strategies for MCU communication and optimizing battery life. It will show how projects are setup, dependency are managed using west, how firmware is tested, and which features of zephyr we use where. We'll also share common pitfalls and practical lessons learned.

Concluding with recent Zephyr updates and our reflective insights, this presentation will end with what we would have done differently this time.

Cloud Native Threat Intelligence for Everyone - James Callaghan, ControlPlane & Constanze Roedig, Technische Universität Wien
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Accurate and current threat intelligence data plays a vital role in threat modelling, as we can learn about what attackers are doing in the wild, and how likely certain attack paths are to be exploited. Whilst open source threat intelligence does exist, it is often ‘event-based’, focusing on historical incidents of attackers using particular techniques to exploit specific vulnerabilities. However, what if we want to quantify our own threat models, which may involve chaining together many such attack vectors? The Kubernetes Storm Centre is a newly established open source initiative that aims to provide a framework for independent quantification of cloud native attack paths, with contributing organisations running diverse ‘honey-clusters’ and sharing their results with a central hub for the world to freely consume. In this session, we will discuss the progress made by the project so far, share our initial results and insights, and explain how interested parties can contribute.

DevSecOps Transformation at Speed and Scale Using Tekton - Caroline Cameron & Tony Higham, IBM
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
The distributed development effort across individual teams to build secure software in a constantly evolving security threat landscape results in massive duplication of CI/CD automation work and inconsistent security and compliance postures across teams. The solution is to standardize the CI/CD security & compliance automation for development teams and centralize platform operations and maintenance. Our centralized CI/CD platform prevents software security problems from reaching production systems and streamlines compliance audits using built-in DevSecOps practices. Tekton is used as the open source orchestrator to standardize CI/CD and contribute open source enhancements through our valued ecosystem partnerships to benefit all users. The platform includes open source scanning tools such as Clair for OSS threat intelligence, SonarQube for SAST, and OWASP ZAP for DAST. The platform also extends the traditional CI and CD pipelines with a Continuous Compliance (CC) pipeline which ensures that deployed applications are scanned for new vulnerabilities on a daily basis with unique capabilities to auto remediate identified vulnerabilities and auto close resolved incident issues.

A New Era of Interrupt Handling: Multiple Interrupt Controllers in a Multi-chiplet Design - Priyadarsini G, Samsung Semiconductor India Research
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Semiconductor industry has entered a new era of chip design, moving from monolithic SOCs to multi-chiplet design. The new generation devices demands for more functionality, higher bandwidth and lower power often within smaller footprints. Multi-chiplet packages provide improved performance, cost savings and design flexibility.
Systems that comprises more than one chip can have several SOCs that are connected externally or a SOC package comprising several SOCs connected inside a single physical package.Each SOC is integrated with an interrupt controller. In a complex SOC design where wide range of peripherals are integrated, reducing interrupt latency and complexity of handling interrupts play a major role.

This talk will cover why we need multiple interrupt controllers in a multi-chiplet design. And how to implement the interrupt routing to CPUs across different chips. Also will see how to achieve consistency between interrupt controllers in multi-chiplet system. At the end will have a look on software implementation of multichip interrupt handling refering to ARM trusted firmware by taking an example of ARM’s Generic Interrupt Controller which support multiple GIC configuration

Advanced System Profiling, Tracing and Trace Analysis with Perfetto in Android and Yocto - Anna-Lena Marx & Stefan Lengfeld, inovex GmbH
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Tracing is a capable mechanism for deep system analysis and profiling with a minimal overhead. By recording defined system events, in Linux but also Android, tracing can be used to analyze concurrency or latency issues, for example. Android’s systrace tool made it easy to analyze and correlate traces and events due to a graphical UI, in order to help developers identify performance bottlenecks. The successor to this advanced and convenient tool is called Perfetto. It’s available for pure Linux too, and part of Yocto (meta-oe) since Langdale now. In the talk, we’ll have a look into - using Perfetto with Android and Yocto, - adding trace events to your applications, - recording traces and - analyzing system and application traces with the graphical GUI. This will allow you to take full advantage of the Perfetto trace viewer UI for analyzing memory usage, CPU scheduling, latency and more.

Design Thinking: Generative AI Style - Martin Hickey & Donal Madden, IBM
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
What if you could harness the power of artificial intelligence to make it easier to employ design thinking principles to benefit the users of your application? Design thinking is a highly effective process in designing successful applications. Design thinking can help application developers identify the problems that the application is solving and can improve user experience at launch. But to be most effective design thinking must be employed straight from concept to release. However, this takes money and time which start-ups, or small companies may not have. In this talk we provide an overview of a design thinking system of open source Large Language Model (LLM) agents to help developers get the most out of the design thinking process. Each agent is primed with a persona of an individual in the process and will work with the development team to produce design thinking artefacts and deliverables. We will show how the system helps to accelerate both the effect and adoption of design thinking in an organisation. This is the talk for you if you want to understand how Generative AI can provide solutions that traditional programming may not.

Navigating the Open Source Observability Landscape - Dotan Horovits, Logz.io, CNCF Ambassador
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
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.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
The data available about open source projects can feel like a tsunami, but there are ways to make this more manageable by focusing on the metrics that matter the most for your OSPO. This session will highlight how OSPOs can use data to generate meaningful insights about the open source software communities that are important for your business. This talk will start with a discussion about how to approach the tsunami of data by moving from data points toward insight and wisdom about your open source software. We’ll start with data collection and processing before discussing how collections of metrics can be used to understand your community more holistically than looking at individual metrics. The final section will include examples of how to interpret the data to move beyond analysis and find tangible ways to improve your OSS projects. We’ll show examples from Augur and 8Knot to show what is possible with structured data and metrics from the CHAOSS project. The audience will walk away with tips and techniques for making sense of those waves of data using collections of metrics and data science to result in actionable insights about your open source software.

Preparing Zephyr for Safety Element out of Context Certification - Nicole Pappler, AlektoMetis.com
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Zephyr, as also other open source projects, is heading towards functional safety, to achieve a safety certification as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) the question of what this really means comes up quite often.

There are usually three stakeholders in a project like project community, the assessor and the user, who actually wants to use the certified software

As all these parties have different expectations of what this certification will require, there are a lot of different rumours and opinions out there regarding functional safety certification. This talk will give an introduction to what qualification evidence is usually prepared and assessed for a SEooC certification, what this means for the project and how it can actually be integrated into a safety relevant software system.

This talk will also give an update of the current status of the safety working group, how to participate and what to expect there.

SCA for Containers: The Good, the Bad, and the Truth - Arun Azhakesan, Siemens Healthineers & Philippe Ombredanne, AboutCode
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
Containers revolutionized the software development and deployment process. But there are still practical concerns, especially related to software supply chain integrity and security, that require further improvements. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) identifies components used in software applications and systems, often for software supply chain concerns like SBOMs, which is increasingly important for distributed, containerized systems. Many open source and proprietary SCA tools are marketed specifically for containers. After testing many open source and proprietary tools, we completed a project comparing the accuracy, depth, and breadth of these tools' detection capabilities. The results were not always good. In this talk, Arun from Siemens Healthineers and Philippe from AboutCode will share their experiences so you don't make the same mistakes.

Taming DMA: Tales Wrestling Memory Corruption - Ahmad Fatoum, Pengutronix
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Direct Memory Access frees up the CPU for other important work, while devices read and write data in the background. This is as good as it sounds and most embedded systems make ample use of this; for good sound and otherwise. On the flipside, incorrectly configured DMA and the creeping memory corruption that results can decidedly be more unpleasant than the possible slow-down of using PIO. Ahmad's bootloader and kernel escapades have not been spared from the wrath of DMA masters. In this talk, he will share tales of his debugging campaigns and how tracking down memory corruption led him to learn, one bug at a time, more about the internals of Linux' and barebox' DMA API, ARM cache maintenance and the limitations of DMA controllers.

Using Yocto to Debug Embedded Device Crashes - Etienne Cordonnier, Snap Inc
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
It is challenging to debug hard to reproduce crashes on embedded devices. Due to limited space constraints, it is often not feasible to deploy full debug symbols. Core dumps are a great tool to debug such crashes. The Yocto project offers several features to help with working with core dumps, such as minidebuginfo and debuginfod combined with debug symbol servers. Used with crash-monitoring software and systemd core dump tooling, those features make it easier for developers to analyze and solve crashes happening only e.g. in production.

Reducing Bias in AI with Open Source - Abubakar Siddiq Ango, GitLab
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Hall B (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.

Who Broke the Build? — Using Kuttl to Improve E2E Testing and Release Faster - Ram Mohan Rao Chukka, JFrog
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
No one wants to be responsible for breaking the build. But what can you do as a developer to avoid being the bad guy? How can project leads enable their teams to reduce the occurrence of broken builds? In talking within our own teams, we discovered that many developers weren’t running sufficient integration and End to End tests in their local environments because it’s too difficult to set up and administer test environments in an efficient way. That’s why we decided to rethink our entire local testing process in hopes of cutting down on the headaches and valuable time wasted. Enter Kuttl. Connecting Kuttl to CI builds has empowered our developers to easily configure a development environment locally that accurately matches the final test environment — without needing to become an expert CI admin themselves. These days, we hear, “Who broke the build?” far less often — and you can too!

Panel Discussion: The Next Phase in OSS (Ideate, Design and Build) - Samson Goddy, Open Source Community Africa; Oluebube Princess Egbuna, Drogo AI; and Edidiong Asikpo, Zuplo
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
In the last three decades, we’ve seen an evolution of open source starting from the ’90s when foundations and ideas were birthed with the likes of the Free Software Foundation, the Open Source Initiative, and projects that changed the world like the Linux Kernel and the Apache server. From there, open source has gotten into mainstream adoption and advocacy, where we have platforms like GitLab, GitHub, and SourceForge, enabling people to build software projects openly and increasing collaboration among people in tech. Within the last ten years, groundbreaking innovations like the cloud, AI, and big data have become open source by default - this is where we are now. However, the global south is still stuck in the advocacy and adoption phase, with people who haven’t moved beyond their first contribution or are only aware of open source. We need to address this and move the global south to the next phase of open source—ideation, designing, and building. In this talk, we will share what we’ve been doing in Open Source Community Africa for the last 8 years and how we are currently fixing this problem through our latest flagship program, IDB (Ideate, Design, Build).

Level Up Your Embedded Testing Game: FRETish, Robot, and Twister: A Dream Team - Christian Schlotter, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG & Tobias Kästner, TiaC Systems
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Developing embedded software for regulated environments like medical devices presents unique challenges. Crucially, we need to document how the software design fulfills stated product requirements. While functional testing remains dominant for verifying functional suitability, deriving and maintaining effective test suites can quickly become cumbersome.

This talk explores a novel approach to this longstanding problem. We leverage NASA's FRETish method for formally capturing requirements. We will talk about how the formal nature of FRETish requirements allows for automatic test case generation leveraging the Robot Framework. The latter was specifically chosen as it is partially supported by Zephyr's test harness today and allows to utilize twister for automated test execution of these test suites on real hardware. This method has the potential to streamline testing, offering benefits such as reduced time and maintenance efforts as well as accurate coverage metrics from very early on in the project's lifecycle.

We'll discuss our progress in implementing this approach, the challenges we encountered, and potential solutions for deeper integration with the Zephyr project.

Learning from Firefighters to Improve Systems Reliability - Kerim Satirli, HashiCorp
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 2.15 (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, Tigera
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
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
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
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
Hall C (Level 2)
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.

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
Room 2.15 (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
Hall M2 (Level 2)
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.

The PCI Endpoint framework enables the Linux kernel to act as a PCI Endpoint device. It allows software to describe the behavior of a PCIe function, which is a logical unit within a PCI device. This session will present the design and implementation of a virtio-net device using this framework.　Virtio is a para-virtualization framework designed to improve the efficiency of device I/O operations in virtualized environments. It enables software to emulate device behavior, leading to efficient data transfers in this case.　This session will discuss the architecture and current status of the proposed virtio-net PCI function driver based on the PCI endpoint framework. Additionally, it will introduce an API for controlling virtio virtqueues, which are used for data transfer. This API is generic and can be used to implement PCI Endpoint devices for other virtio devices.

Room 2.31 (Level 2)
For the first time in history almost everyone uses open source, albeit often without getting the benefits of free software. Open source has accomplished unparalleled success in the IT industry, but with success comes challenges and risks. Over recent decades we have seen business models change while the industry and the users found the best ways to use open source. With software as a service we now see a fairly new but very successful approach, that goes hand in hand with open source, but is not without issues. This presentation will walk the audience through different approaches of monetizing and developing open source and examine the consequences of SaaS models for the open source ecosystem, both for business models and software development It will also point out how recent developments show the resilience of the Open Source world.

Open Source Governance for Software Engineers - Tobie Langel, UnlockOpen
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
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 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
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.

German Administration and Open Source - Thomas Fricke, Independent
Wednesday September 18, 2024 12:15 - 12:35 CEST
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.

At the edge, there's one thing we know for sure: it's not to be trusted. But imagine if Kairos could change that, letting you sleep soundly knowing your intellectual property is secure. Kairos is a fully open source project to run kubernetes at the edge. As such, we have put Trusted Boot into action. Inspired by Lennard Pottering, the mind behind Systemd, we've leveraged Secure Boot, Trusted Boot, TPM, and disk encryption. The result? A Linux OS that's built tough against the challenges of untrusted environments.

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
Hall C (Level 2)
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.

Tackling Language Barriers in Open Source Docs: A Case Study of openEuler's Globalization Efforts - Helen Liu, 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
Room 2.15 (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.

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
Room 2.15 (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
Room 2.15 (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
Room 2.15 (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.

The Missing Post Mortem - Tobie Langel, UnlockOpen
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:10 - 15:50 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
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.

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
Room 2.15 (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
Hall M2 (Level 2)
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
Hall M1 (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.

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.

Combining the Best of Two Worlds: From TF-IDF to Llama LLM - William Arias, GitLab
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Learn how combining traditional NLP techniques with LLMs can solve 'hallucination' issues and create robust applications. This session offers practical insights into leveraging foundational NLP principles alongside advanced LLM technology. It's based on a business problem where the need is to craft technical content that directly tackles the key challenges customers encounter. Rather than wading through hundreds of public forum posts or customer complaints manually, why not harness the combined power of traditional, explainable Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques integrated with the advanced language generation capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). This session will provide architecture and lessons learned in the journey to uncover insights from our users' feedback. Centered around a topic modeling use case, this session offers actionable insights that go beyond mere buzzwords. At the end the audience will learn how to leverage text analytics and the strengths of Open Source LLMs to tailor content that resonates with their audience's needs and pain points. Bonus points: This use-case architecture is completely automated using CI/CD principles.

Linux Storage Stack Explained - Werner Fischer, Thomas-Krenn.AG
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
“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 :-)

Open Source for the Greater Good - Sean Marcia, GitHub & Gia Coelho, Ruby for Good
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
In an era where technology increasingly influences every aspect of society, the potential for open source software to serve public interests and empower nonprofit organizations is immense. Yet, despite its transformative promise, the intersection of open source and the nonprofit sector remains underexplored and underutilized, particularly in projects aimed at public welfare beyond the tech community. I'll delve into the untapped synergy between open source initiatives and nonprofit organizations, exploring pathways for adoption, community support, funding, and sustainable growth. I will demystify the process of integrating open source solutions within nonprofit projects, highlighting practical strategies for organizations to not only adopt technology but also to contribute back to the open source ecosystem. I will also explore case studies of successful nonprofit open source projects, identifying key factors that contributed to their sustainability and impact. Finally, and possibly most importantly I'll explain about securing funding and support for open source projects focused on the public good, as well as partnerships, and community-driven development opportunities.

Panel Discussion: The Parallel Universes of ISPOs and OSPOs - Clare Dillon, Lero, CURIOSS; Tom Sadler, BBC; Katie Schueths, Analog Device, Inc.; and Russell Rutledge, InnerSource Commons Foundation
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (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 0.14 (Level 0)
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.

Online Hands-on Tech Docs, the Easy Way! - Jorge Morales Pou, Broadcom & Graham Dumpleton, VMware
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. I encourage you to spend this short time with us. It'll change your life.
