The Linux Foundation Europe Member Summit is an annual gathering for Linux Foundation Europe members, along with invited speakers, sponsors and media.

This event cultivates collaboration, open innovation, and partnerships among those in the private public sectors working to drive digital transformation through open collaboration. It is a must-attend for business and technical leaders looking to advance a Europe-wide open source strategy and mobilise resources in their organisations to collaboratively influence the largest shared technology investment of our time.

The event will feature prominent speakers from the private and public sectors and existing and upcoming Linux Foundation projects, as well as offer an opportunity for members of LF Europe to share their organisational priorities and put forward collaboration opportunities to the Linux Foundation Europe Advisory Board and membership at large.

The next day, the LF Europe Roadshow opens its doors to a wider audience of developers, policymakers, and community leaders. It will bring together developers, community leaders, industry, and policymakers for a full day of exchange. The program is built around two parallel tracks that reflect the most pressing themes for open source today.

The week concludes in Brussels with the European Open Source Security Forum, co-hosted by OpenSSF and the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS). This invite-only event will unite policymakers, security experts, and open source leaders to advance impactful security initiatives and policy efforts. The program will include:

Keynotes from European policymakers
Panels on regulation, CRA readiness, and emerging technologies such as quantum security
Targeted discussions on cybersecurity skills and future EU policy frameworks

This Forum provides a unique platform to align Europe’s policy direction with open source security priorities, ensuring that community voices are represented at the highest levels.

ELISA Project at the Linux Foundation Europe Member Summit

We are excited to share that at the upcoming Linux Foundation Europe Member Summit, ELISA Project Ambassador Philipp Ahmann (ETAS) will present “Driving Automotive with Open Source: From Compliance to Collaboration.”
Philipp will explore how automakers and suppliers can align safety and security requirements with open collaboration covering practical processes, tooling, and community models that turn compliance evidence into shared engineering momentum.
If you are attending, add this session to your agenda and connect with the ELISA Project to learn how our working groups help make Linux fit for safety-critical use. Learn more.

Philipp will also participate in a Panel Discussion: Open Source Enabling Industrial Innovation with Paul Brooks, Rockwell Automation; Christophe Villemer, Savoir-faire Linux; Renzo Cherin, Lloyds Banking Group moderated by Paula Grzegorzewska, Linux Foundation.

This session will bring together representatives from diverse vertical industries, including manufacturing, energy, finance, and beyond, to explore how open source is enabling them to achieve their strategic goals. Each panelist will begin with a 15-minute presentation highlighting experience in their specific sector. Then, we will host a 30min panel discussion which will examine the role of open source technologies and joint collaboration in fostering innovation, effectiveness, and long-term growth. Learn more.
