Unified Boot Time Measurement: A Precise, Scalable Framework for Multi-Processor Systems - Vishnu Pratap Singh & Soumya Tripathy, Texas Instruments

Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST

Elicium 1

This session introduces a unified boot time measurement framework that overcomes these limitations. Inspired by U-Boot’s bootstage mechanism, it leverages hardware timers to generate synchronized timestamps across heterogeneous subsystems. Instead of relying on fragmented logs, the framework writes boot markers to a reserved DDR memory region, enabling a Linux utility to extract and analyze the complete boot timeline via the devmem interface. This approach ensures end-to-end visibility, enabling developers to pinpoint inefficiencies, optimize boot sequences, and improve system responsiveness.

With the increasing complexity of embedded devices—ranging from IoT and industrial automation to automotive and networking—achieving fast and predictable boot times is more important than ever. This talk provides a vendor-agnostic, software-based approach to measuring and optimizing boot performance, benefiting developers working on custom Linux BSPs, embedded RTOS systems, and real-time applications.

Zero Trust Maturity Assessment With OSCAL - Donald Hunter, Red Hat

Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST

G104

When implementing Zero Trust there is no one size fits all solution. The complexity of understanding the principles of Zero Trust and mapping them to a given technology stack have inhibited widespread adoption. Reasoning about system properties against any framework or criteria, and the corresponding adoption paths to achieve increasing maturity is always a challenge, especially for organisations relying on open source technologies.

By leveraging the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) controls and processes along with existing Red Hat compliance frameworks we aim to simplify Zero Trust compliance and maturity assessment while signposting the steps to improving Zero Trust maturity.

Attendees will walk away with an understanding of Zero Trust, how automated compliance can benefit their measurement and implementation of Zero Trust objectives, and open source efforts to streamline the assessment process.

Shifting Safety Techniques To a Statistical World - Imanol Allende, Codethink & Nicholas Mc Guire, OpenTech

Wednesday August 27, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST

D204

The current aim of the industry is to develop and deploy highly complex safety-related systems. However, these systems differ significantly from traditional deterministic ones. Modern systems demand high-performance and security while exhibiting inherent non-determinism, challenging conventional safety approaches.

As safety-related systems evolve toward unprecedented complexity, they increasingly exhibit emergent properties that cannot be adequately captured through Descartes' approach of "dividing each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it". This fundamental shift requires a transition from element-by-element analysis to holistic statistical modeling.

Consequently, we believe the future lies in statistical system analysis. Methods like Probabilistic Worst Case Execution Time and Statistical Path Coverage demonstrate how complex systems can be assured through statistical approaches.

This presentation identifies limitations of traditional techniques, explores opportunities offered by statistical approaches with examples, and analyzes requirements for these methods to be effectively applied in the functional safety domain.

Why and How We Updated Our License Policy for Use of Open Source - Nico Rikken, Alliander & Jonas van den Bogaard, Alliander N.V.

Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:35 CEST

G107

As open source becomes increasingly important, more organizations are recognizing its value. However, organizations like Alliander, a Dutch Grid Operator, which are not primarily software companies, face unique challenges in its adoption.

One of the first policies we created as an OSPO was the license policy for the use of open source. It quickly became the most viewed page of our OSPO guidance. As our understanding of open source in the enterprise grew, we encountered more licenses and edge cases that needed to be addressed. Consequently, our policy expanded to the point where it became unwieldy for our colleagues to use. We took the time to restructure our license policy to accommodate more situations while making it easier to understand for those new to open source licensing.

In this presentation, we will discuss how the Alliander OSPO developed a licensing policy that evolved in complexity over time. We will cover the issues we needed to address, the process of updating our policy, and the details of the updated policy itself. Our story underscores the value an OSPO can gain from close collaboration with senior developers, software asset management, and the legal department.

Software Defined Hardware on Heterogeneous SoCs Using OpenAMP - Peter Fecher, PHYTEC Messtechnik GmbH

Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST

Elicium 2

The growing complexity of modern embedded systems requires innovative approaches to make hardware more flexible and efficient to use. A concept for the software-controlled emulation of interfaces using technologies like Bit-banging, NXPs FlexIO or similar will be presented. The presented approach utilizes the integrated coprocessor of a heterogeneous SoC to achieve maximum efficiency and fulfil the corresponding real-time requirements.

With Zephyr RTOS and OpenAMP, seamless inter-processor communication is realized, allowing easy and modular integration into Linux. The prototype developed shows how software-defined approaches can improve flexibility of hardware adaptation in embedded systems.

Adding the W3C’s New ARRM To Improve Your Project’s Accessibility - Mike Gifford, CivicActions

Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST

G001-002

The W3C recently released a draft of the Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) framework—a practical tool for open source teams to better define and share accessibility responsibilities across roles. In this session, we’ll explore how ARRM can help open source maintainers, designers, developers, content contributors, and community leaders collaborate more effectively on accessibility goals.

Whether you’re maintaining a solo project or coordinating a large contributor base, ARRM offers a roadmap to embed accessibility into your workflows and culture—without burning out a single “accessibility lead.” Learn how adopting ARRM can help your project move from one-time audits to continuous improvement, and why accessibility is a shared responsibility—not just a technical checklist.

Team Topologies and the Value Paths for OSPOs & ISPOs - Clare Dillon, CURIOSS

Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST

G107

In 2019 Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais’s published Team Topologies, which became a widely influential book in the software and DevOps communities, praised for its practical framework on organizing teams for fast flow and effectiveness. The book defines four fundamental team types (including enabling and platform teams). Team Topologies' popularity drove investment in enabling and platform teams, as organizations attempted to reduce cognitive load and support stream-aligned teams through better internal tooling and collaboration structures. Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) and InnerSource Program Offices (ISPOs) are organizational units that enable open collaboration practices. In this talk, Clare will use the Team Topologies framework as a lens to understand how these program offices fit into an organization’s structure. This talk will explore how Team Topologies can provide a foundation for crafting a clear and compelling value proposition for OSPOs and ISPOs. It helps translate the often intangible or misunderstood work of these program offices into well-defined roles, interactions, and outcomes that resonate with business, engineering, and leadership audiences.
