Lightning Talk: A Reusable Zbus Based Architecture, Abstracting Core Application Components - Jaco Liebenberg, Plentify
Tuesday August 26, 2025 10:20 - 10:30 CEST
Porting our products to Zephyr and a common microprocessor presented the opportunity to move to a higher proportion of common reusable code across devices. We present for community use and comment our architectural approach to developing a reusable Zephyr application code base.

We have leveraged zbus to create a standardised interface for inter thread communication, and a layer of zbus listeners (what we call a link layer) to enable our communication, UI, and system control to be reusable across products.

The approach is somewhat analogous to micro-services, in that our applications now each consist of ~5 independent services/modules. Each service delivers a specific independent function, and uses zbus to interface with the rest of the system in a common manner. But this is as far as the analogy goes. The choices were driven by a strong desire for maintaining a separation of concerns and modularity. So far it has proven itself to enhance testability, debugging, and to support significant code reuse and therefore maintainability of multiple code bases.

Build Distroless Containers the Easy Way: From Full Fat To Featherweight With Unbase_oci - Nikolas Kraetzschmar, SAP
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Tired of wrangling dependencies to craft distroless containers from scratch? unbase_oci flips the script.

Instead of painstakingly building up from a minimal base, you start with a comfortable, fully-featured container—think debian or ubuntu—and develop as usual. Then, with one simple command, unbase_oci automatically strips your image down to the bare essentials by comparing it to the base and keeping only what’s truly needed.

No more trial-and-error to get your distroless image just right. Write normal Dockerfiles, enjoy all your debugging tools during dev, and let unbase_oci do the slimming for production.

It’s Bash. It’s fast. It’s minimal. It works with any OCI image and requires nothing but standard Unix tools and your container engine of choice.

Let’s stop over-engineering minimalism. Build smart, then unbase.

VM-Friendly Networking on Kubernetes: Customizable Networks, Live Migration, and Best Practices - Surya Seetharaman & Miguel Barroso, Red Hat
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Bringing virtual machines into Kubernetes introduces unique networking challenges, especially in public cloud environments. Traditional Kubernetes Networking plugins, designed for ephemeral containers, fall short in supporting virtualization-specific needs like stable IPs during live migrations and network segmentation. This talk explores how the CNCF projects OVN-Kubernetes and KubeVirt work together to provide networking that supports the needs of virtual machines on Kubernetes.

OVN-Kubernetes is a robust network plugin for Kubernetes clusters. KubeVirt is a virtualization plugin that manages the lifecycles of VMs on Kubernetes. In this session, we will introduce these projects and walk you through:

- How to set up multiple, customizable networks in Kubernetes

- How to connect your applications and VMs to separate, isolated networks

- How to perform live VM migration across Layer 2 networks without downtime

- Best practices for configuring your networking setup based on your platform—whether you're running in the cloud or on-prem

Join us to learn how to build flexible, VM-friendly networking on Kubernetes.

Bootloaders Under Fire: Real-World Threats and Practical Defenses - Ahmad Fatoum, Pengutronix
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Bootloaders play a critical role in securing embedded systems, especially when implementing verified boot.

But while much attention goes into the cryptographic boot chain and run-time security, other parts of the bootloader are often overlooked — leaving a key component of the system exposed.

This talk outlines practical steps to harden a bootloader against different real-world threats.

Topics include identifying security-critical functionality, avoiding common pitfalls, slimming down the TCB and what kinds of hard- or software misconfiguration can silently undermine your defenses.

Along the way, we’ll use barebox as a practical example to show complementary approaches — like applying fuzzing to core logic, adding runtime hardening, and securely handling unlock scenarios — as well as how these could have mitigated a number of recently reported vulnerabilities.

Attendees will learn how to reduce risk during early system startup and improve the overall security posture of their embedded systems.

How V4L2 Transformed To Support Embedded Cameras - Laurent Pinchart, Ideas on Board
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Cameras in today's embedded devices are made of increasingly complex hardware. The V4L2 API has constantly evolved since its birth nearly 25 years ago to support the needs of this ever-changing landscape. What has however not changed much is the impression that V4L2 is the same today as it was 10 years ago, and that it can't adapt to modern devices.

This talk will rectify this misconception by presenting all the recent features of the V4L2 API relevant to cameras in embedded systems. We will cover raw image sensors with complex processing features (such as HDR or NPU), streams multiplexing, powerful ISPs, complex pipelines of serializers and deserializers, multi-context image processing, and more. Examples will focus not just on wishful thinking for the future, but on open solutions that are developed and ship today.

Attendees will see how to support embedded cameras on Linux with mainline kernels and without closed-source stacks, learn which APIs they need for their use cases and how to use them, and hear about ongoing V4L2 developments and where the API is heading for the future.

Securing Europe's Open Source Infrastructure: A Technical Case for an EU-Wide Sovereign Tech Fund - Nick Gates, OpenForum Europe & Felix Reda, GitHub
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
This session examines the proposed EU Sovereign Tech Fund (EU-STF), a mechanism inspired by Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency to address critical maintenance gaps in open source components underpinning European digital infrastructure.

Technical findings from a June 2025 feasibility study will be surveyed, which reveal the economic, legal, and political arguments for implementing an EU-wide Sovereign Tech Fund. Then, expert panelists will unpack the technical architecture of this maintenance crisis, demonstrating how the proposed EU-STF creates practical mechanisms for collaborative public-private efforts, as well as key use cases.

Attendees will learn implementation models that bridge the gap between how developers understand maintenance challenges (technical debt, security vulnerabilities, dependency management) and how policymakers frame these issues (resilience, sovereignty, compliance). They will gain actionable insights into:

-- How public FOSS funds need to be designed to reach critical but under-resourced components

-- Aligning the goals of FOSS maintenance funding to the needs of developers and policymakers

-- How to help make the EU-STF a reality

CoffeeCaller – a Fully Open Source Product Development Example - Andreas Kurz, TiaC Systems & Stefan Kraus, Independent
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
CoffeeCaller is an embedded device designed to coordinate coffee breaks between colleagues across an entire building. What began as a fun, free-time idea turned into an exploration of different product development approaches within the constraints of hobby time and budget. The goal wasn’t just to build something functional, but to try out techniques that could scale—from quick iterations to structured hardware-software integration.

We will show our journey from the idea to the finished project, that started with a simple proof of concept to validate the approach, followed by parallel development of hardware and software: While one created a custom hardware design in KiCad, the other development the actual application with Zephyr RTOS at the same time. We describe how we created the device tree as a bridge between both, keeping things modular and maintainable. We first implemented BLE Mesh for communication, later transitioning to openthread for broader connectivity. The entire project, including hardware and firmware, is open source.

Mirror and Control Android Phone With Zephyr on I.MX RT1170 - Phi Bang Nguyen & Trung Hieu Le, NXP Semiconductors
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Mirroring and controlling a smartphone via a vehicle’s screen enable hands-free access while ensuring comfort and safety. Existing solutions like Android Auto or CarPlay require high-end MPUs and rich OSes. In this talk, we demonstrate a lightweight and low-cost alternative using the i.MX RT1170 MCU running Zephyr RTOS:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVt0pZxM8Xg

The Android phone captures its screen, compresses it in MJPEG, and streams it to the MCU. On the Zephyr side, we use ffmpeg for video decoding and send touch events to the phone. Despite no hardware decoder, we achieved 11 fps with 100–200 ms latency. MJPEG was chosen over H.264 for its better performance. Upcoming MCUs like the i.MX RT2660/RT2770 with MJPEG/H.264 hardware decoders will boost this further.

We are currently transitioning to Wi-Fi for a fully wireless set-up and offloading camera-based gesture control to the smartphone for hands-free controls. Finally, to inject touch events into Android without root access, the Android application needs to be launched in a shell by ADB from a laptop. We're working on porting ADB to Zephyr to automate this process for a seamless, plug-and-play user experience.

Cloud Native IoT: OTA Updates and Device Repurposing With K8s - Anastassios Nanos & Charalampos Mainas, Nubis PC
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
This session presents an open-source system for integrating resource-constrained IoT devices like ESP32-based MCUs into k8s-managed environments. It covers secure device onboarding using Entity Attestation Tokens (EATs) and OpenDICE, where devices generate cryptographic identities from hardware-embedded secrets and attest their state during registration and OTA updates.

Devices are discovered using Akri, which exposes them as addressable Kubernetes resources. Firmware is built and packaged as OCI artifacts, stored in standard registries, and deployed via a k8s "FlashJob" operator that lives alongside the Akri framework. Upon deployment, prior to joining the cluster, devices are onboarded and validated via Akri's discovery handler. When repurposed, devices are validated again, to ensure end-to-end attestation of both hardware and software components.

The session focuses on concrete mechanisms for OTA management, hardware-rooted identity, and distributed execution targeting constrained systems under k8s control.

Defense in Depth: High Speed Cloud Native With Soft- and Hardware Protected Functions - Ralph Squillace, Microsoft
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
GitHub is one of the largest (if not the largest) open-source code repositories in the world, but its growth creates technical challenges: How can it continue to scale up activities at its rate of growth? How can it protect activities from each other if one uses code with a malicious attack in it?

This talk describes a fun experiment using the CNCF project Hyperlight and WebAssembly (wasm) components to investigate radical scaling of GitHub events using WebAssembly Components to both handle heavy event load on smaller, less costly VMs but at the same time use Hyperlight to provide hardware protection to each individual function.

WebAssembly is a form of “cloud native binary” that runs on almost any operating system and architecture. The emerging wasm component model is a series of standards that enables any language to make use of components written in any other language while radically scoping in the capabilities of a function, giving it only the permissions to execute that the host deems necessary.

When combined with the Hyperlight project, it becomes possible to use security-in-depth features to scale compute far more with far less risk.

ManaTEE: Enabling Verifiable AI Transparency With Confidential Computing - Dayeol Lee & Mingshen Sun, TikTok
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
ManaTEE is an open-source framework that enables private data analytics for public research using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). In this talk, we show how ManaTEE supports verifiable AI transparency, especially for proprietary models where open inspection is not feasible. TEEs allow sensitive model evaluation and data analysis in isolated, secure environments with cryptographic attestation, ensuring the integrity of both the model and data. This enables external researchers and auditors to assess AI systems without direct access to the model or sensitive data. ManaTEE simplifies this process with a secure, interactive Jupyter Notebook interface where users can load benchmarks, write evaluation code, and analyze results—preserving data confidentiality and model secrecy. We will demo how ManaTEE evaluates a closed-source AI model in a reproducible and auditable way, helping balance the need for transparency with confidentiality.

Bridging Worlds: Using Device Tree Overlays To Support Complex PCI Devices in Linux - Hervé Codina, Bootlin
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
To support complex PCI devices, a new solution landed in Linux kernel (v6.13). It allows to describe hardware within a PCI device using a Device Tree (DT) overlay, taking advantages of the DT such as modularity, clarity, and wide driver support.

The Linux kernel provides a rich set of drivers for hardware blocks found in System-on-Chips (SoC). These drivers typically rely on DT descriptions. Some of those blocks appear in PCI devices. Instead of adapting drivers to the PCI context, why not having PCI devices working in a DT context?

The first driver using this feature is the driver for the Microchip LAN966x PCI device. The LAN966x SoC was already supported in the kernel, with Linux running on its ARM cores. Drivers exist for all its hardware blocks. The PCI device version is made from the SoC version where CPU cores have been replaced by a PCI endpoint. Using a DT overlay for PCI devices allows to reuse existing drivers without any modification.

This talk will delve into motivations and use cases behind this feature, followed by a dive into the implementation. We will present challenges encountered, how they were addressed, and what this means for future PCI device support.

The Power of the Device Mapper - From Dm-cache To Dm-zoned - Werner Fischer, Thomas-Krenn.AG
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
The device mapper has been part of the Linux kernel since kernel version 2.6. It allows the creation of virtual block devices by mapping their address space to other block devices or special functions. In this way, it can map physical block devices such as hard disks or SSDs to higher-level virtual block devices. It is the basis for the Logical Volume Manager (LVM), Linux software RAIDs and dm-crypt encryption, and provides additional features such as file system snapshots.

However, the use of Device Mapper targets is not limited to that. Many other targets offer often unknown features. Most of these are intended for production use. However, there are also some targets designed specifically for debugging.

In this talk, Werner gives a full overview of all Device Mapper targets.

For production use these are: dm-cachd, dm-clone, dm-crypt, dm-ebs, dm-era, dm-integrity, dm-linear, dm-mirror, dm-raid, dm-stripe, dm-switch, dm-thin, dm-unstripe, dm-verity, dm-vdo, dm-writecache and dm-zoned.

For debugging: dm-delay, dm-dust, dm-flakey and dm-zero.

He also briefly shows drbd, md (RAID) and bcache, which, like device mapper targets, can work as devices "on top" of normal block devices.

Understanding Data Races in the Linux Kernel - Abhirup Vijay Gunakar, Arizona State University
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Data races in the Linux kernel can lead to unpredictable behavior, silent data corruption, and severe security vulnerabilities. In this session, we’ll explore how concurrency works in the kernel, explain the root causes of kernel data races, and illustrate how they can silently destabilize entire systems.

We’ll then dive into the Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN), a specialized tool that helps developers detect data races in kernel code. You’ll learn how KCSAN differs from user-space tools like ThreadSanitizer (TSan), understand its dynamic instrumentation approach, and see how to read typical race reports. We’ll also discuss best practices for preventing kernel data races: consistent use of spinlocks, mutexes, atomics, and lock ordering conventions.

By the end of this talk, you’ll grasp the core challenges of concurrency in the Linux kernel, know how to spot and diagnose data races using KCSAN, and walk away with proven techniques for keeping kernel code race-free and reliable.

Building Agentic AI Systems: From Transactions To Conversations - Richard Li, Amorphous Data
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Traditional software is built around transactions—predictable inputs and outputs. But agentic AI systems are different: they’re conversation-driven, adaptive, and capable of reasoning over time. In this talk, we’ll break down what makes AI systems "agentic" and the key components required to build them. You'll learn about the three essential stacks—training, inference, and runtime—and dive deep into what makes an agentic runtime work: durable execution, memory, agent lifecycle orchestration, and tool use. Finally, we’ll explore the open-source ecosystem powering agentic AI systems, including popular open source projects such as vLLM, LangGraph, and AutoGen, and explain where they fit in the agentic stack.

Adventures of Building a Platform as a Service for the Government - Hans Kristian Flaatten, Norwegian Government & Audun Fauchald Strand, Nav
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Who said that Government Tech has to be boring? In Norway the largest administration has been using Kubernetes for over 7 years! StatefulSets had just been introduced (alpha) and RBAC was still in beta. During this time we moved from quarterly releases to thousands of continuous releases each week across our fleet of cloud native applications!

Could we replicate the success we had at NAV for other agencies? Could we provide them with a fully managed platform as a service to let them focus on building new and innovative services for their users and not reinventing the wheel by building yet another platform?

In this session Audun and Hans Kristian will share their experience building and operating one of the largest platforms of its kind in Norway providing a fully fledged application development platform for more than a 100 product teams. And how they set an ambitious goal of being able to provide their platform as a service to other agencies.

Kernel TEE Subsystem BoF - Sumit Garg, Linaro
Tuesday August 26, 2025 13:00 - 13:40 CEST
A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is an isolated execution environment running alongside the rich operating system. It provides the capability to isolate security-critical or trusted code and corresponding resources like memory, devices, etc. The isolation is backed by hardware security features such as Arm TrustZone, AMD Secure Processor, RISC-V TEE, etc.

This BoF will provide a platform to discuss topics related to the ongoing evolution of the kernel TEE subsystem with support for new drivers coming up like Trusted Services TEE, Qualcomm TEE, or any other future TEE drivers. Along with that, we will see how the recently merged RPMB subsystem in the kernel helped the easier enablement of OP-TEE based fTPM in-kernel use cases. The next big feature up for discussion is restricted DMA-Bufs managed by a TEE looking for real-world upstream user-space use cases like DRM protected media pipelines, TEE protected crypto accelerator keys, secure user interfaces, etc.

OSPO Data Pyramid - Cali Dolfi, Red Hat
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:30 CEST
When Red Hat’s OSPO started to invest in data science efforts for insights into project health, many in the company were energized. In this talk, Red Hat OSPO’s lead data scientist Cali Dolfi will discuss the journey towards educating decision makers about how examining OSS community ecosystems could inspire new strategies and initiatives.

The table will be set with an introduction of Red Hat’s OSS DS ecosystem and explain how it builds on Red Hat’s legacy of, and lessons learned from their OSPO’s long history.

This talk will inform how structured data and data science methodology sufficiently supports the OSPO “food pyramid”:

Base level: open source communities- strategic involvement and proactive and informed initiatives around invested communities

Middle level: cross organizational collaboration - building trust and connections with data-backed claims

Top level: C-suite- Open source community and OSPO alignment with corporate strategy

The OPSO Data Pyramid will go from theory to application with a live demo of the 8Knot dashboard. Participates will leave with a better understanding of how to help their company better understand the OSS communities they engage and invest in.

No Internet - No Problem? Air-Gapped Kubernetes on Bare Metal - Christian Bendieck & Carolin Dohmen, BWI GmbH
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
What do you do when connectivity isn’t just flaky – it’s nonexistent? In this talk, we’ll take you through our experience deploying fully automated, air-gapped Kubernetes clusters on bare metal servers – without internet access, without a pre-existing registry, and minimal reliance on datacenter services such as NTP.

As the IT provider for the German Armed Forces, we operate in environments where isolation isn't optional – it's mandatory. Whether due to strict security requirements or the literal ocean between hardware and surface.

At the heart of our setup is a purpose built origin node based on NixOS – which provides all necessary external services to bootstrap the cluster leveraging Talos OS.

This session will cover the technical architecture, the automation stack, and some of the challenges we faced, including:

- Bootstrapping from air-gapped nothingness

- Pitfalls and amazement of Nix and NixOS

- Talos quirks such as image caching limitations

- The joys of automating server setup by accessing BMCs with the Redfish API

- Considerations of NeoNephos projects for further development

You'll leave with practical insights for spinning up fully disconnected Kubernetes clusters.

Server Partitioning Without VMs - for Flexibility and Performance - Antti Kervinen, Intel & Feruzjon Muyassarov, Ericsson Software Technology
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Efficient use of servers with tens or hundreads of CPUs most often requires partitioning it so that only a fraction of CPUs is disclosed to a set of containers. This improves performance, hardware utilization, and mitigates the noisy neighbor problem.

In this session, you will learn about very flexible CPU and memory partitioning that enables squeezing maximum performance from the server. For instance, you will see how to arrange containers into dynamically growing and shrinking CPU sets. How to group containers into CPU sets based on their names, labels, QoS classes, or namespaces. How to pre-allocate isolated CPUs for latency critical containers. How to let containers burst outside their partitions if there are free CPUs. And without forgetting observability, how to view existing partitions in the cluster in detail, including exact CPUs and containers in each partition.

We use NRI plugins and the balloons policy for demonstrating this, without limitations of Kubernetes CPU manager, or overhead of VMs. That said, this partitioning makes sense inside large VMs, too.

An Opinionated Overview of Open-Source Robotics - Mateusz Sadowski, Weekly Robotics
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
In this session, I’m going to give an overview of the open-source ecosystem. I will start very broad, showcasing a selection of projects per category (simulators, middleware, autopilots, libraries and some selected open-source robots). For example, for simulators I’d show Gazebo, Webots, MuJoCo, pyrobosim, ir-sim. For the middleware, I would showcase ROS, YARP, DORA, Copper, and so on.

Then, I would like to focus on one or two hardware projects that are fully or partially open-source, and dive deep into their architecture, and perhaps try to show some simulated demo. The candidates for the deep dive that I'm considering for this presentation are:

* Astrobee (https://github.com/nasa/astrobee)

* Int-ball2 (https://github.com/jaxa/int-ball2_simulator)

* SO-ARM100 (https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100) + LeRobot (https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot)

*Open-Duck Mini (https://github.com/apirrone/Open_Duck_Mini)

Hotplug of Non-discoverable Hardware: Status and Future Directions - Luca Ceresoli, Bootlin
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
More and more industrial products are being designed with add-on components that can be hotplugged at runtime and connected with non-discoverable busses: I²C, MIPI CSI-2, LVDS, and seemingly simpler ones such as interrupts and GPIO lines.

Work is in progress for the kernel to support such hardware using device tree overlays. This talk describes the goals, work done and in progress and future directions. Special attention will be given to the DRM subsystem which is by far the most challenging one.

Topics covered are:

* Problem statement and overview of the goals

* Non-discoverable hotplug in general: device tree overlays and how to properly describe connectors and

add-ons (nexus nodes, export-symbols), instantiating devices, I²C bus issues

* DRM specific: hotplugging in the DRM subsystems, challenges in making DRM bridges removable, current work and next steps

Discussion about future directions will be very welcome.

Extending Container Performance Isolation: Regulating Memory Bandwidth & Cache in the Kernel - Jonathan Perry, Unvariance
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
While containers provide isolation for CPU cycles and memory capacity, they offer limited protection against performance interference through shared CPU caches and memory bandwidth. Such contention was shown to increase application response times by 4-13x. The Linux resctrl infrastructure provides monitoring and control mechanisms, but has limitations for controlling real-world applications.

For example, child processes do not inherit their parent's resctrl groups, leaving any application that forks improperly monitored and controlled. Additionally, the current filesystem-based interface makes it difficult to build a controller that can monitor and adjust quickly enough to keep up with frequently changing application memory behavior.

This talk introduces the memory interference problem and presents new kernel mechanisms to address these limitations. A new collector enables effective control by capturing per-container measurements of cache and memory bandwidth usage at millisecond frequencies. We'll cover how the solution combines Intel RDT, AMD QoS, high-resolution timers, perf counters, and cgroups to achieve this. We'll discuss future work and opportunities for collaboration.

Hybrid THP Mechanism. Selective Use of Huge Pages by Hot Applications - Asier Gutierrez, Huawei
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Currently, THP policies are used globally, for the entire system. This leads to memory fragmentation and memory waste. Main memory has increased a lot faster than TLB entries, and it will continue to do so. Given the limited TLB cache entries, this becomes a serious bottleneck for real world applications. Huge pages are supposed to resolve this issue, since the a single entry in the TLB can map a big chunk of memory. However, this eventually leads to memory fragmentation and eventually the system runs out of usable memory. Hence, most sysadmins and user space application suggest to disable huge pages

We introduce a hybrid page mechanism where hot applications can use huge pages transparently, while avoiding the entire system to use huge pages.

During the talk, we will show how we managed to decrease the huge page consumption as well as benchmarks on real applications.

From Backlog To Breakthrough: How FreeBSD and Bitergia Tackled 7k+ Bugs With Data-Driven Dashboards - Alice Sowerby, Rosmarin Ltd; Daniel Izquierdo Cortázar & Miguel Ángel Fernández Sánchez, Bitergia; Moin Rahman, The FreeBSD Project
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Every open source project has bugs—but what happens when you have more than 7k bug reports? The FreeBSD Project, a popular Unix-like OS that’s 30+ years old, faced a mounting backlog that risked overwhelming its contributors and users alike. Closing issues at random or based on age wasn’t an option. Instead, as part of work contracted by Germany’s Sovereign Tech Agency, the FreeBSD Foundation teamed up with Bitergia to build a smarter solution.

This panel discusses how the team used the OSS tool GrimoireLab to create customized dashboards to visualize FreeBSD’s Bugzilla backlog in new and actionable ways. You'll hear how metrics like the Backlog Management Index (BMI) and new bug categories like "unattended" and "abandoned" helped the team move from firefighting to focused bug triaging. We’ll also talk about technical challenges, like deploying GrimoireLab on FreeBSD itself, and the broader impact of contributing new features back to the CHAOSS open source community.

Whether you're drowning in bugs or just love data-driven engineering, this session shares practical tips, reusable metrics, and open source tools to improve bug management. Bring your questions—we’re excited to chat!

Rebooting the Republic: OS Operating Systems for Governments - Alexander Smolianitski, Zentrum Digitale Souveränität
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
What does it take to switch an entire public sector workspace to open source, including backend services and operating system? Backend services are deeply integrated with the IT architecture of the German public sector, making them challenging to replace. A recent feasibility study undertaken by the German Centre for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS) has investigated the legal, economic, and technical viability of replacing proprietary operating systems and backend services with open source alternatives in government agencies. Additionally, the study has explored the possibility of adopting an "ultramobile-first" strategy, where smartphones and tablets with OS operating systems, such as Android, are used as primary devices, and specialised applications are accessed through web browsers. The talk will discuss the findings of the study and the potential implications for the introduction of OS operating systems in the German public sector.

Identifying Safety Weaknesses and Fault Propagation in the Linux Kernel - Igor Stoppa, NVIDIA
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Given the growing desire to use the Linux kernel in safety-relevant applications, like automotive, it is necessary to perform analysis and tests which are a staple of Functional Safety, but fairly new to Open Source Processes.

One of these is the injection of failures aimed at identifying data structures that might be particularly relevant from a safety perspective. This includes types of failures that would not lead to an immediate, clean crash, but rather to more subtle system degradation, that might be identifiable only when safety goals are compromised.

The methodology, and design presented constitute a tool that can be used to advance the understanding of what it entails to use Linux in safety applications. It could even be plugged into the regular upstream kernel post-release process, so that whenever a new Linux release is tagged, the tool will provide data related to how the new release behaves, when subject to controlled corruption.

Your SBOM Is Lying To You – Let’s Make It Honest - Yuchen Zhang & Justin Cappos, New York University
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
SBOMs (Software Bills of Material) are essential for improving visibility and security in the software supply chain. As open-source code drives modern development, organizations face growing security risks due to limited transparency in software dependencies. Attacks like SolarWinds (2020) and Kaseya (2021) highlight the urgent need for stronger software supply chain security.

However, SBOMs are often inaccurate. This talk explores why these inaccuracies occur, how attackers exploit them, and how to address these issues. A key challenge is dependency management file analysis (e.g., cargo.toml for Rust), which struggles to track components effectively.

Enter SBOMit, an OpenSSF sandbox project leveraging in-toto attestations to create cryptographically verifiable SBOMs. By capturing supply chain steps as they occur, SBOMit enhances accuracy, mitigates tampering risks, and strengthens security. This talk examines SBOMit’s role in improving SBOM reliability across the CNCF ecosystem.

In the dynamic world of software development, a well-defined test strategy is very important for ensuring quality and reliability. The Zephyr Project's testing activities have evolved organically to address immediate needs, however it lacked a formalized strategy. As the testing working group we developed a strategy that not only codifies existing practices but also covers new challenges, requiring a shift in our testing paradigm.

During the talk I will present the key elements of our strategy, like its objectives, main testing principles, roles and responsibilities, and other elements it is addressing.

OpenSSH + FIDO Workshop - Joost van Dijk, Yubico
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 15:45 CEST
OpenSSH has built-in support for FIDO security keys since version 8.2 (released in 2020). This means you can protect your SSH private keys using security keys, similar to how this can be done with OpenPGP smart cards and cryptographic tokens that support PKCS#11. Although such devices all allow you to protect your private keys using cryptographic hardware, the benefits on using FIDO include:

- FIDO is easier to use, especially for beginners

- security keys can be used on the web as well to store passkeys

- no need for vendor-specific software (like PKCS#11 modules)

- security keys are inexpensive

- FIDO features device attestation, which lets you cryptographically prove you are using a specific security key make and model.

In this talk, we will give a short introduction to FIDO security keys, and provide several demos of the use of security keys with OpenSSH, such as signing arbitrary data, authenticating to remote systems, and using key attestation.

The talk consists of a number of demos that participants can follow along on their system. Participants can bring their own security key (any vendor will do). If they do not own a security key one will be provided to them.

Health Check-ups on OSS Software Projects: Managing Risks While Promoting (Re)use - Johan Linåker, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:25 CEST
Open Source Software (OSS) intake is ever growing. An international Telco recently reported a surge from 30 to over 60,000 unique OSS components annually. However, this rapid adoption also introduces risks. The quality and security of OSS depend heavily on the maintenance efforts and health of its community.

In this talk, we show how organizations can systematically monitor the health of their OSS dependencies. This involves assessing the long-term viability and quality of OSS projects, akin to a medical check-up. Our study, detailed in the OSS Metrics chapter of the TODO group's OSPO book, identified 21 key health aspects through literature review and expert interviews. These aspects help organizations evaluate OSS projects based on factors like community productivity, stability, and governance.

Implementing health assessments requires a tailored approach, as demonstrated in our case study with a major automotive manufacturer. We present a semi-automated process for intake-stage inspections and automated monitoring for deployed components. Continuous training and feedback sessions are essential for integrating health assessments into standard practices.

Containers Live Migration: What’s There, What’s Missing, What’s Next? - Daniel Simionato, ControlPlane
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Moving a running workload from one host to another transparently without disrupting its execution flow (“live migration”) is a solved problem for virtual machines, but still poses challenges for containers.

Current checkpoint and restore functionalities in both Kubernetes and LXD are somewhat limited or not completely fleshed out, and moving containers from one host to another involves either spinning up new replicas or stopping and restarting the containers, which is undesirable for stateful workloads like databases, machine learning or deep learning jobs.

Projects like CRIU (https://criu.org/Main_Page) and DMTCP (https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp) propose different approaches to offer checkpointing and restore functionalities in containers, but there is still no streamlined solution in LXD and Kubernetes.

In this lightning talk, we’ll go over the current state of the art, with a quick demo of what’s currently available, describing what’s missing and what will be the future developments to achieve seamless container live migration.

More Effective Approach To Detecting Potential Deadlocks, DEPT(DEPendency Tracker) - Byungchul Park, SK hynix
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Lockdep is a tool in the Linux kernel designed to detect potential deadlocks by tracking the order in which locks are acquired. However, deadlocks can occur not only due to incorrect lock acquisition order, but also from waits that cannot be resolved. For more effective deadlock detection, it is crucial to track the waits and events themselves, rather than focusing on lock acquisition order. This is where DEPT (DEPendency Tracker) comes in. DEPT accurately identifies conditions that can lead to deadlocks by tracking waits and events. Let me introduce DEPT and explain how it works.

The Power of the Command Line - How Bash Can Boost Your Productivity - Werner Fischer, Thomas-Krenn.AG
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Most Linux users use it every day: the bash shell. While Linux newbies only sporadically access the command line (terminal), their familiarity with it increases with continued use.

However, very few people take advantage of the sheer power of the bash. A basic understanding of the Bash grammar will help you get started: from simple commands, pipelines (|), lists, to compound commands, coprocesses, shell function definitions.

The Bash is incredibly versatile.

Quoting, for example, is used to remove the special meaning of certain characters or words to the shell. Values can be stored in parameters - of which there are several: positional parameters, special parameters, shell variables (e.g. $BASH, $LANG, $PATH, ...), arrays. Functions, arithmetic evaluation, conditional expressions and exit status are features often used in Bash scripts. Last but not least, shell bulletin commands are also part of the bash feature list.

Join Werner's talk and discover many possibilities for your favourite shell that you may have only dreamed of.

he fear of "vibe coding" (non-developers using AI to write software) mirrors historical fears about DIY home improvement. Yet Home Depot built a trillion-dollar market by recognizing that proper tools, education, and boundaries enable regular people to tackle appropriate projects safely. This session shows how open sourcecommunities can lead the citizen development revolution by applying the same three-pillar approach that made DIY construction successful. I'll share real examples of where citizen development works, where it fails, and what we learned about building guardrails that actually work. You'll see how open source principles of visibility, community review, and shared knowledge create natural boundaries that keep people in their lane while unlocking massive productivity gains. Beyond just faster development, we found citizen developers actually help their IT teams get unstuck from endless backlogs and start shipping things that matter. Join me to see practical examples of how open sourcetools and governance models create a blueprint for democratizing software development without the disasters.

Navigating Compliance: What Developers Can Learn From Driving - Kadi McKean & Charlie Jones, ReversingLabs
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
When driving on a highway, you have to follow the rules of the road—some apply to everyone, while others only apply to commercial drivers. Open source maintainers and software publishers face a similar divide regarding regulatory compliance.

While software manufacturers must meet extensive legal and security obligations, open source maintainers often assume these regulations do not apply directly to them—but do they? In this talk, we’ll separate fact from fiction by breaking down what rules like the EU Cyber Resilience Act require from maintainers versus software vendors.

We’ll explore the limited enforceable obligations for open source projects, including secure development policies and vulnerability reporting, and discuss when (if ever) these rules impact maintainers. By understanding these distinctions, open source contributors can make informed decisions about risk, responsibility, and collaboration with commercial software teams—without unnecessary compliance burdens.

Lightning Talk: Reliable Recovery in Partitioned Embedded Systems Using IVSHMEM and Jailhouse Hypervisor - Paresh Bhagat, Texas Instruments
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 16:30 CEST
In industrial and real-time embedded environments, system uptime and fault recovery are mission critical. This proposal explores a lightweight and effective technique for crash detection and recovery using Inter-VM Shared Memory (IVSHMEM) within the Jailhouse hypervisor. By continuously sharing heartbeat or health status between the root cell and inmate (guest OS) via shared memory, the system can quickly detect unresponsive partitions and trigger recovery mechanisms like automated restarts without a full system reboot. We demonstrate this approach on TI SITARA EVMs, showing how it minimizes downtime without a full system reboot. Through this talk, I aim to share a reusable pattern for enhancing system reliability and show how open-source virtualization can be leveraged for resilient industrial applications. Attendees will gain insights into partitioned system design, shared memory communication, and recovery strategies for embedded systems. I hope to receive feedback on enhancing this approach and hear from others solving similar reliability challenges in embedded systems.

Bridging Worlds: Implementing OpenStack Support for NixOS - Stefan Kober, Cyberus Technology GmbH
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
This talk presents our approach to integrating OpenStack cloud infrastructure with NixOS, addressing a significant gap in development workflows for OpenStack Nova.

Our primary motivation was to simplify testing and development processes by leveraging NixOS' declarative and reproducible environment capabilities. We'll demonstrate how our implementation uses NixOS modules to create deterministic OpenStack deployments where components - particularly the Nova compute and the Neutron network service - are defined as NixOS modules within the Nix expression language. This approach eliminates configuration drift during development cycles and enables developers to quickly reproduce specific environments.

We'll share practical insights from our implementation journey, highlighting how this integration streamlines OpenStack development workflows through consistent test environments and easy service configuration manipulation. We'll discuss the qualitative improvements in developer experience and outline future directions for expanding NixOS support across the OpenStack ecosystem.

In this talk we will discuss why people use multi-tenency to run containers from multiple users in the same cluster, the risks of multi-tenency, and what we can do about these risks. We will survey technologies with different levels of container isolation, from relying on namespaces to using virtual machines to using separate hardware. Each level of isolation is right for some use cases, so we will discuss the pros and cons of each.

Zero Trust at the Edge: Bridging Industrial Systems With Verifiable Credentials and OpenZiti - Shane Deconinck, Howest University of Applied Sciences
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Industrial environments depend on secure collaboration among internal employees and external technicians. Traditional centralized identity systems like LDAP fall short when managing external parties, while industrial constraints prevent modifying legacy equipment.

This session presents a pragmatic architecture using open-source tools - including OpenZiti and W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs) - to enforce Zero Trust precisely at the application level. By combining decentralized identity management for external supplier technicians with corporate OIDC for internal staff, we demonstrate how to achieve secure, identity-aware communication flows without rewriting legacy MQTT hardware.

Attendees will learn how application-level binding ensures that only explicitly authorized actions occur, preventing any unauthorized bypass even in constrained industrial setups. The approach not only strengthens security in today’s complex environments but also boosts the value and potential of these emerging technologies through practical integration.

Producing a Complete Linux System With a Single Command (and Configuration File) With Yocto - Alexander Kanavin, Linutronix
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
The Yocto project is a toolkit for creating custom Linux distributions for the embedded use cases. Historically it has not provided tools and standards for setting up and replicating build configurations in a reproducible manner, leaving that to third party projects and custom scripts. In the past few months this has been changing, and many of the pieces are now available out of the box in oe-core/poky, or are under review. This talk will give an overview of what is available and how it can be used to both write a record of how to build a complete system, and to replicate that build elsewhere with that record. It will also cover parts that still need to be added, and possible future directions for build configuration management.

Data Placement in Linux: Evolving Block and File I/O - Kanchan Joshi, Samsung Semiconductor
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
As technologies evolve, so must Linux. Flexible Data Placement (FDP) is a new storage capability that gives the host more influence over the physical data layout—crucial for improving performance, usable space, and overall energy efficiency.

While initial Linux support was possible through an io_uring-driven passthrough interface, many real-world deployments require block and file path support, as well as collaboration across the I/O stack.

This talk will present the current state in Linux, dive into key design decisions, and walk through how both block and file I/O paths are being adapted to better take advantage of data placement. Expect discussion around the use of per-file and extended per-I/O interfaces that involve io_uring, filesystems, the block layer, and the NVMe driver.

Whether you are developing filesystems, optimizing performance tools, or are simply curious about how Linux keeps up with evolving hardware, this presentation offers a glimpse into the next stage of I/O evolution with deeper software–hardware coordination.

Travel Retail Disruption Using Open Source - Stu Waldron, Open Travel Alliance
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Travel retail, shopping and booking stays, activities, or trips, is ripe for disruption using open source. Fifty years on from its inception, the process of shopping and purchasing travel products has been computerized and exposed online but works largely the same as it always did. Even as some legacy components have been replaced, their limitations are still present embodied in workflows and policy. Stateful, transactional, processing is still the order of the day. It all needs to be overhauled to move into a stateless, cloud based, digital world. Travel retail is unaffordable in its current form, open source is the obvious answer. As a community, make one investment to create the needed foundational capabilities such as offer/order management, security, identity management, event management, rules processing and much more. Noncompetitive functions everyone needs to create traveler solutions such as end to end trip solions and management via an AI powered app. The Open Travel Alliance is working with the Linux Foundation to form the Open Travel Foundation. This session will explain how this new foundation will transform travel retail.

Open Source Is a Sewer - Powen Shiah, Sovereign Tech Agency

Who maintains the software components everyone uses? Without open source libraries, protocols & tools, the world would grind to a halt. When it comes to sewers, roads & bridges, the government pays. For bits & bytes? There's a German phrase: digitale Daseinsvorsorge.

Who builds and maintains the sewers under our feet? The government! The same goes for the trains we ride and the roads we walk on. When we ask these questions about the basic components that underpin our world's digital infrastructure, the answer is very different. It's Daniel for curl, Piotr, Christian & Volkan for Log4j, a small team for Fortran, Sarah for Nominatim, Richard at Yocto and countless other maintainers.

At a time when software is eating the world, these foundations are terrifyingly precarious. We hope we're paying the right people to do the critical work of maintaining/securing these systems. Is it possible for governments & nations to help secure this public digital commons without running roughshod over the sprawling ecosystem of FOSS communities that created it?

As governments provide education, clean water and transport in the public interest, they can invest in digital services and open source.

We have mechanisms, like forks, where those with less power can counter these moves, regardless of the forms they take.

This talk will not only help people understand the power dynamics at play, but it will also provide tangible steps that we can take as maintainers, contributors, and users to make better decisions about focusing our precious time on making our projects more sustainable. There is no way to accurately predict which projects will not be sustained, but this talk will contain suggestions for how to look for warning signs. By attending this talk, you will learn more about the power dynamics and steps that you can take to make better decisions about which OSS projects to embrace.

Looking at Linux as a SEooC - Kate Stewart, The Linux Foundation & Nicole Pappler, AlektoMetis
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Linux is already being used in Safety Critical applications, mostly as a "Safety Element out of Context". This session provide some background on what this means, and the limitations of this approach. With the velocity of change of the Linux kernel, supporting this mechanism, as well as more detailed approaches is the next frontier for the kernel.

API Lifecycle: Smarter Design and Governance With Open Tooling - Dakshitha Ratnayake, WSO2
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
As API ecosystems grow, keeping designs consistent and governance scalable can really be a challenge for both open platforms and internal teams. In this talk, we’ll dive into how AI-assisted tools, when combined with open standards and policy engines, can help simplify two of the toughest parts of the API lifecycle: design and compliance. We’ll show you how developers can use natural language prompts to generate and update OpenAPI specs, and how teams can use policy-as-code (with tools like OPA) to automate checks for things like naming, versioning, and security. You’ll walk away with practical workflows that help balance developer speed with organizational standards—all built with open source tools.

CANnectivity: Zephyr-based USB To CAN Adapter Firmware - Henrik Brix Andersen, Vestas Wind Systems A/S
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
A crucial component in the development of firmware utilizing Controller Area Network (CAN) communication is a host-connected CAN adapter. Several commercial and open-source solutions are available for this purpose, but each has its own limitations. The CANnectivity firmware, a Zephyr-based open-source firmware for Universal Serial Bus (USB) to Controller Area Network (CAN) adapters, aims to address these limitations.

This presentation will go over the considerations leading to the development of the CANnectivity firmware, its intended use cases, and the advantages it offers over existing solutions. I will provide an overview of the firmware’s architecture, the automated testing procedures currently in place for validation, and the future plans for its enhancement.

CANnectivity is available at https://github.com/CANnectivity/cannectivity

Model-Based Testing for the Zephyr RTOS - Philipp Panzer, UL Solutions
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
The use of Zephyr in safety-critical domains poses a significant challenge with regard to certification. Since feature development in open-source projects is usually not driven by a centralized requirement specification, V&V become challenging tasks: The lack of a requirement specification makes the subject of validation hard to capture. Verification requires considerable effort for manual test creation. To address these issues, we explore a Model-Based Testing (MBT) approach for Zephyr, which involves the creation of a formal model of the system. Based on this specification, runnable test cases are automatically derived which pass if the actual software implementation aligns with the model. We present our approach of applying MBT to Zephyr's semaphore API, which uses TLA+ and generates runnable ZTest test cases. Given the promising results of our initial exploration, we want to share our ideas with the community to encourage further work in this area. We argue that an integration of MBT into Zephyr’s development cycle results in formal specifications of the system, which, combined with test generation, enable automated conformance testing and facilitate continuous certification.

Interrupts: The Hidden World of Linux Performance - Shaghayegh Tavakoli, IONOS
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:35 - 16:45 CEST
In this 10-minute talk, I will dive into the often-overlooked world of Linux kernel performance, focusing on Hard IRQs and Soft IRQs. These two types of interrupt handling play a critical role in system efficiency and responsiveness, yet many developers are unaware of their inner workings. I will explore the fundamental differences between Hardirqs and Softirqs, their impact on CPU scheduling, and how they influence real-time performance. By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how these mechanisms work behind the scenes, and how to optimize applications for better performance.

Tuning Linux for Embedded Space Applications - Simon Corbin, CNES
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:40 - 16:50 CEST
Space is a hostile world, requiring many precautions to be taken when embedding software in a spacecraft. Historically, this results in hardware targets embedding chips that are qualified and tolerant to the environment (radiation in particular), but rather old, expensive and produced in small batches.

The expansion of “New Space” has democratized the use of COTS, considerably increasing available onboard computing power and opening up new ways of embedding applications in satellites.

While it can be tedious to port an application onboard (limited to C language, restricted memory and computing power, limited user community...), using Linux minimizes the effort involved in porting an algorithm onboard. However, the world of on-board space applications requires compliance with numerous rules and standards. This presentation aims to provide an overview of the challenges involved in using Linux onboard a space system.

The aim is to give an overview of how we make embedded software at CNES and how Linux can take us to new dimensions. The following topics will be discussed regarding embedded Linux for space applications :

- Real time aspects

- Reliability

- Processes segregation
