Open Source Summit 2026 - Seoul, Korea
2026-08-11 - 2026-08-12
Open Source Summit is the premier event for open source developers and contributors. It’s where maintainers, technologists, and community leaders come together to share knowledge, collaborate on solutions, and push open source projects forward. It’s the home for code, community, and the people driving the future of open source.
Open Source Summit is not a single-focus, niche event—it’s the big tent that unites the full spectrum of open source technologies and communities. Whether you work in cloud infrastructure, Linux kernel development, AI/ML, embedded systems, DevOps, security, or safety-critical systems, Open Source Summit offers a shared space to exchange ideas, make connections, and learn across domains. It’s where technologists who don’t typically land in the same room get a chance to collaborate.
At the same time, Open Source Summit brings in the leaders and practitioners who support the ecosystem from non-technical angles: open source program office (OSPO) staff, legal experts, policy advocates, standards organizations, equity champions, community managers, and foundation leaders. Together, they help shape the frameworks, culture, and strategy that make open source work.
This event serves as a strategic checkpoint for the open source movement. It’s where conversations happen about not only what’s being built—but how and why. From sustainability and funding models to licensing, AI alignment, security, and governance, Open Source Summit brings clarity and direction to a fast-changing open source landscape.
Whether you’re deep in code or focused on enabling the communities and structures that support it, this is where your work gains momentum and impact.
The schedule will be live on June 11 (Thursday).

ELISA Project at Linux Plumbers Conference 2026: Safe Systems with Linux MC
2026-10-05 - 2026-10-07
The ELISA Project will be part of the Safe Systems with Linux Microconference at the Linux Plumbers Conference 2026, taking place October 5–7 at the Prague Congress Centre in Prague, Czechia, with hybrid participation available.
As Linux continues to be used in systems with varying levels of criticality, the need for clear traceability between requirements, code, and tests is becoming increasingly important. The Safe Systems with Linux MC will focus on how the Linux kernel ecosystem can better support structured requirements, documentation, testing, and artifact sharing while preserving the speed and flexibility of upstream development.
Building on discussions from previous years, this year’s microconference will explore approaches for expressing requirements and traceability as sidecar data structures. This makes the information more machine-readable, maintainable, and scalable without requiring kernel design documentation to live directly in the code.
Topics will include technical debt reduction, requirements-driven testing, semantic aspects of kernel requirements, progress on the Linux Kernel Requirements Framework, practical implementation challenges, automation tooling, connections with kernel quality initiatives, industry adoption, and the role of requirements as an education and onboarding tool.
The session aims to bring together kernel maintainers, developers, safety architects, tooling experts, and industry stakeholders to discuss how structured requirements and traceability practices can complement existing Linux kernel development workflows and support the creation of dependable, safety-relevant systems with Linux.
