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.

Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Most embedded development boards can run Linux from traditional distros like Debian to custom Yocto systems. But have you ever wondered what it would take to run Android Open Source Project (AOSP) on these developer boards? Well, wonder no more. This talk will walk you through it. Using a ARM based Texas Instruments evaluation board as example, we will start from TI's Yocto SDK then download AOSP and study all the changes needed in order to boot to the Android home screen. We will cover: - Bootloader (U-Boot) modifications required for Android boot flow - Linux kernel versus Android Common Kernel (ACK) - User space changes - Android's build system - Additional changes to add more advanced features

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.

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.

Getting Linux Distros to New Architectures - Bernhard Rosenkränzer, Baylibre
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Room 0.49 - 0.50 (Level 0)
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.

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.

Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:35 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
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.

Why Quantum Safe Encryption Is the Next Y2K, and How to Be Prepared - Joe Winchester & Louisa Seers, IBM
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
Client server computing relies on encryption algorithms to ensure that data sent across networks cannot be read, or faked, by untrusted parties. This is the rock on which financial computing works in a business to customer environment, as well as how data at rest is protected from malicious prying eyes reading our personal data. This talk will cover the basics of how Diffe-Hellman encryption works, how symmetric and asymetric keys operate, as well as how all of this will soon become unsafe because of quantum computing. As well as showing the audience the basics (no maths degree required) this talk will show how quantum safe encryption is able to address this, and how folks can get wise and get started.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
The latest Long Term Support release of the Yocto Project, code named “scarthgap”, has support until April 2028. With proven techniques to upgrade from older releases we hope to encourage you to move forward with confidence. We will start with recommendations for how to set up your own “distribution”, board-support package (BSP) and software layers. We will share some techniques for managing and discovering layers. We will discuss best practices to ensure your public layers are ready for the Layer Index. We will investigate how to use meta-lts-mixin layers to be able to use newer releases of components like Rust, Go and U-Boot. As supply chain becomes increasingly important, we will cover the latest Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and license compliance (SPDX) tools. We will share some tools for discovering software vulnerabilities (CVEs) in your project. New IDE tools were added in this release and we share ways to leverage them, along with containers to ensure your builds are consistent and reproducible. We will cover some of the over the air update tools which are available. Our examples will leverage some of the newest single-board computers: Raspberry Pi 5 and Beagle Play.

Planning for Retirement: How Can We Prepare for Software’s End-of-Life/End-of-Support Date? - Victoria Ontiveros, CISA & Justin Murphy, DHS/CISA
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Open Source at a Crossroads - Michael Meskes, NetApp
Wednesday September 18, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
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.

Lightning Talk: The Government and the Art of Infrastructure Maintenance - Powen Shiah & Mirko Swillus, Sovereign Tech Fund
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.

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

Advancing Transparency and Security in Software: A Deep Dive Into SPDXv3 - Alexios Zavras, Intel
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:10 - 15:50 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
SBOMs are a crucial tool for understanding the composition of software, which is particularly important in the context of managing security risks and licensing compliance. Recent regulatory efforts from, among others, the US and the EU, explicitly move towards requiring SBOM for each software delivery. SPDX (System Package Data Exchange) is a freely available ISO standard that provides a set of specifications for communicating SBOM information. It offers a common format for companies and organizations to share important data accurately and efficiently. This presentation will delve into the details of the newly released version of SPDX, providing a comprehensive understanding of their importance in the software industry.

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.
