Europe’s Open Source Motivations and Mandate: Findings From the 2025 World of Open Source Survey - Anna Hermansen, Mirko Boehm, Cailean Osborne & Adrienn Lawson, The Linux Foundation

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

Auditorium

Each year, LF Research fields a survey in the Linux Foundation community investigating the major open source trends, obstacles, and priorities around the world. These survey findings are key annual markers of progress and opportunity in this area and are crucial for policy, business, non-profit, and academic audiences alike to set their strategy for the coming year. This panel will focus on the findings from Europe, presenting the key findings from the survey. The panelists will discuss the relevance and context of these findings given their work in Europe and focus on priority topics such as AI, security, and the public sector. LF Research panelists will present the most salient quantitative insights and how they relate to other research coming out this year. Mirko Boehm and Cailean Osborne from LF Europe will share qualitative insights from expert interviews in the context of their work in AI and cybersecurity regulation. A community expert will also join the panel to discuss the findings in light of their work in open source in Europe.

Panel DIscussion: NeoNephos: Building an Open Source Foundation for Europe's Digital Future - Ihor Dvoretskyi, Cloud Native Computing Foundation with Additional Panelists to be Announced

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

Auditorium

In this panel discussion, founding members and leaders of the NeoNephos Foundation will share how their organizations drive open innovation through collaborative, vendor-neutral open source development. As a newly formed initiative announced at KubeCon London 2025, NeoNephos (neonephos.org) aims to support the creation of a resilient, interoperable cloud-edge continuum for Europe and beyond.

Panelists will share the story behind the launch of NeoNephos, what inspired its creation, and how it brings together industry, public sector, and open source communities to solve shared challenges. They will reflect on what it means to build a foundation from the ground up, the values driving the initiative, and how NeoNephos plans to support collaboration at the intersection of cloud, edge, and European digital sovereignty. The discussion will also highlight key projects hosted by the foundation—such as Project Gardener—and explore how panelists’ organizations contribute to and leverage these solutions to drive innovation within their ecosystems.

Digital Commons: Technological Building Blocks for European Digital Sovereignty - Nick Gates, OpenForum Europe & Mirko Boehm, The Linux Foundation

Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST

Auditorium

European digital sovereignty has become one of the dominant narratives for the development of European public digital infrastructure. This panel will make the case that a Digital Commons approach provides scalable, open source alternatives that enhance choice and technical control, while providing viable options for policymakers implementing digital sovereignty initiatives.

In the session, technical experts will share examples of how initiatives like the proposed Open Internet Stack and EuroStack are creating amplification opportunities for developers. The session will explore proposed Technological Building Blocks – such as network infrastructure and identity frameworks – and show how Digital Commons mapped to these Building Blocks can be integrated into workflows.

In doing so, the session will show that Digital Commons projects enable true interoperability through open design, access, community governance, and APIs – essential elements for resilient and maintainable infrastructure. Participants will gain insights into leveraging these tools, understand patterns, and learn about European Commission funding mechanisms supporting open, sovereign infrastructure development.
