Open Source Summit is the premier event for open source developers, technologists, and community leaders to collaborate, share information, solve problems, and gain knowledge. As a gathering place for open source code and community contributors, it helps advance open source innovation and build a sustainable open source ecosystem.
The ELISA Project will be part of the Safety-Critical Software track at Open Source Summit Japan 2026, bringing together the community to explore the intersection of open source and safety standards.
The ELISA Project is also a Silver Sponsor of Open Source Summit Japan 2026 and will have a booth where our community ambassadors and project experts will be available to meet attendees, answer questions, and discuss open source in safety-critical systems.
Exploring Open Source and Safety-Critical Software
The Safety-Critical Software track will cover best practices for regulatory compliance, security updates, and safety engineering. Sessions will explore requirements traceability, quality assessments, safety analysis methodologies, and technical development for safety-critical systems.
The track is one of nine at Open Source Summit Japan 2026, alongside Automotive Linux Summit, Cloud & Orchestration, Embedded Linux Conference, Linux, Open AI + Data, OSS Enabling & Management, Packages, Images, & Containers, and Zephyr.
For those working with open source in safety-critical systems, it is an opportunity to share experiences, learn from others, and connect with the wider community.
