Open Source Summit North America 2026 brought together developers, contributors, maintainers, technologists, and community leaders to share knowledge, collaborate on solutions, and push open source projects forward.
The ELISA Project participated in the Safety Critical Software Track, which explored the intersection of open source and safety standards. Sessions covered best practices for regulatory compliance, security updates, safety engineering, requirements traceability, quality assessments, safety analysis methodologies, and technical development for safety-critical systems.
The track featured sessions on Space Grade Linux graduating from ELISA incubation, software supply chain management with the Yocto Project, Xen’s path toward safety certification, Tidepool’s open source quality management system for patient safety, deterministic interoperability in medical robotics, and modern approaches to software verification.
Together, these sessions highlighted how open source communities are advancing practical approaches for building reliable, transparent, and safety-critical systems across industries including aerospace, embedded systems, medical devices, robotics, and critical infrastructure.
The session playlist is now available. Watch the recordings here.
Thank you to all speakers, attendees, contributors, and community members who joined the conversations and continue to support the advancement of open source in safety-critical software.
