Supercharging Open Source Projects with Education - Clyde Seepersad, Linux Foundation Training & Certification & Randy Abernethy, RX-M LLC

Tuesday November 19, 2024 11:30am - 12:00pm PST

Sebastiani & Beringer

The success of an open source project is directly related to the utility it provides its community and to benefit from a project, people must know of it as well as how to either contribute to or use it. Many projects are launched with great promise but die a painful and public death from a dearth of developers and/or users. In this talk we take a pragmatic look at growing open source project success through education programs. We cover the ways training can drive awareness and create 'pull' for people to get involved as users or developers. This talk will expose attendees to the open source training and certification landscape, discussing resources available to projects, such as courseware development, self paced learning, open enrollment, and, in more mature projects, skills testing and certification. Upon completion, attendees will have a clear understanding of the possibilities and benefits of having a comprehensive education agenda for their open source project.

The State of Open Source Funding: Learnings from a Survey of Top Open Source Funders - Kevin Crosby, GitHub & Sam Boysel, Harvard Business School

Tuesday November 19, 2024 11:30am - 12:00pm PST

Silverado East

Understanding how and why organizations invest in and fund open source is not well understood, yet open source is inextricably woven into the entire software industry. This presentation summarizes findings from a 2024 Open Source Funding Survey about how and why organizations and companies contribute and fund open source. Leverage learnings to apply to your own programs as benchmarks. The survey is a collaboration between GitHub, Linux Foundation and researchers at Harvard University. High level insights: Organizations are quick to cite OSS as critical to infrastructure, to employees, and culture - 82% consider funding OSS as critical and 29% have OSPOs. Organizations tend to have a very good understanding of how and why they make code contributions to OSS - median organization allocate 250-1000 labor hours annually to OSS code and most contributions are made to projects managed by the organization itself or upstream. Organizations make non-code contributions along a number of dimensions - Median organization estimates the value of annual non-code contribution at

(Re)Stabilizing the Open Source Software Supply Chain - Philip Robb, Ericssson Software Technology

Tuesday November 19, 2024 12:15pm - 12:45pm PST

Sebastiani & Beringer

For members of the Linux Foundation, open-source software is recognized as critically essential to modern software development. Without it, the breadth and pace of innovation would plummet, and the costs to develop products and services based on software would skyrocket. Over the past several years, we've seen a destabilization of the open-source supply chain. Projects with poor security practices, malicious repo takeovers, and license rug-pulls are a small sample of the growing list of threats facing open-source users. As the largest commercial benefactors of this software supply chain, we have the most to lose. Efforts to address these issues have begun but are under-resourced and moving slowly. This is a Prisoner’s Dilemma & Free-Rider problem that needs a solution, or we are all worse off. This presentation will explore what methods can be brought to bear to increase development, oversight, and quality assurance in the open-source software supply chain to break out of the prisoner’s dilemma. How do those who invest in such work get an appropriate ROI? Can industry and governments work together to find a solution?

Small Project Maintainership: The Dark Matter of Open Source - Luis Villa, Tidelift & Jordan Harband, HeroDevs

Tuesday November 19, 2024 12:15pm - 12:45pm PST

Silverado East

As anyone who has ever run a license or security scan knows, *numerically*, the vast majority of packages installed and used by modern software shops are small packages with one maintainer. Those folks mostly don’t show up to conferences like this one, so they can be “dark matter”—we know they’re there but know little more about them. This panel will use survey data (from Tidelift, Harvard, CMU, and others) to help draw a sharper, data-driven, picture—what motivates these maintainers, what sorts of security practices they do (and don’t) do, and what sorts of value we draw from them. Maintainer Jordan Harband will then use his wide expertise as a maintainer of dozens of key packages to provide human context to the data.

Trust in Open Source - Mike Bursell, Confidential Computing Consortium

Tuesday November 19, 2024 2:15pm - 2:45pm PST

Silverado East

After XZ, OpenJS came the realisation within the community that we don't really understand how trust works within the ecosystem of open source projects, their contributors, maintainers and consumers. This is a socio-technical problem, and in order to understand it and to work out how to build stronger, more secure ties across the ecosystem, we don't just need to engage in technical innovation but also delve in the fields of sociology, behaviour psychology, organisational theory and beyond. This talk will discuss some of the existing work in the field in a relatable (not overly academic!) way and consider plausible research directions and topics. It aims to be a strongly interactive session and the hope is to encourage formation and involvement in this important work.

Inviting New Contributors to the Repo: Lessons Learned from Two Contrasting Mentorship Initiatives - Emily Lovell, UC Santa Cruz OSPO

Tuesday November 19, 2024 3:00pm - 3:30pm PST

Sebastiani & Beringer

Mentorship is a powerful way to invite new contributors to the table – or repo, in the world of open source. An effective mentor can share their professional network, model problem solving skills, and offer advice on-demand for a wide range of topics – for example, writing issues and PRs, submitting conference proposals, or navigating a vast and unfamiliar codebase. Mentorship can also help grow communities; by integrating new contributors into the social and technical fabric of a project, they may be more likely to stick around. For those marginalized in tech, mentorship can also help cultivate a sense of belonging. Our academic OSPO has grown two very different mentorship programs in recent years: one pairs a globally distributed community of new contributors with academic open source research projects, and the other offers a high-touch contribution onramp to Historically Black College and University (HBCU) students via a hybrid in-person/remote format. Along the way, we’ve learned a number of lessons about what works… and also, what doesn’t! This talk will synthesize and share highlights in a generalizable way, while offering space for others to share their experiences, too.

Introducing the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance - Michael Maximilien, IBM

Tuesday November 19, 2024 4:15pm - 4:45pm PST

Silverado East

There is a looming threat to all on the horizon. Today’s data and communications are secured using various forms of public-key encryption. These schemes are all (principally) based on the surprising complexity of factoring large numbers. The issue with modern-based cryptography is that, in 1994, Peter Shor discovered a quantum algorithm that can break modern encryption when executed on large enough quantum computers (QCs). What can we do today to protect from this looming threat? The QC and cryptography communities have been hard at work on devising new encryption algorithms that can be resistant to QCs. Working closely with the Linux Foundation and leaders of the cryptography and OSS community the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance (PQCA) was created to host and lead a collection of initial post-quantum projects that can be used to make the world’s software quantum safe. As part of the original representative members of the PQCA, Max has seen the progression of the alliance from its inception at the LF Member’s Summit 2022 to its current form. In this talk, he will present the foundation and its charter along with an overview of the current projects and algorithms.

Enabling an Open Ecosystem for GPUs and Accelerators - Alison Richards, Intel (UXL Foundation)

Tuesday November 19, 2024 5:00pm - 5:30pm PST

SIlverado West

The landscape of computing has changed and the majority of software developers are looking to use architectures with multiple types of processors, in particular GPUs. The emergence of modern AI techniques has further accelerated the usage of GPUs and new AI processor architectures to achieve the performance required by neural networks. The challenge developers are seeing is that different architectures often require unique languages, tools and libraries, adding complexity and limiting code reuse. The solution is to provide a single way to develop across these architectures, and the basis for this must be rooted in an open, standards-based programming model and libraries. The UXL Foundation was formed to tackle this, and we are working together to build a solution to these challenges – providing an open, standards-based way to develop software and deploy across vendors. This presentation will show how the UXL Foundation is evolving its projects to meet the vendor neutral demands of software developers by adopting open standards and open source, and how our members are using the projects to enable projects like PyTorch and TensorFlow.

A Secure, Stable Linux Kernel for the Long Run - Gustavo Padovan, Collabora Ltd

Tuesday November 19, 2024 5:00pm - 5:30pm PST

Silverado East

We all depend on the Linux kernel for critical parts of our society's infrastructure. Yet, our capacity to keep our Linux systems up to date with the latest features, security, and stability fixes is rather limited. Companies are collectively wasting millions and millions of dollars upgrading their systems to new kernels. I am sure you can relate to that! The Linux kernel community does a fantastic job developing the Linux kernel. It is an ever-evolving operating system that becomes more secure, stable, and feature rich every day. However, rebasing existing infrastructure on new kernels is not straightforward at all. We still lack processes, tools, and culture to make that job smoother in the Linux kernel ecosystem. KernelCI, a project under the Linux Foundation, is on a mission to change that. Our goal is to support the community and companies to ensure the quality, stability, and long-term maintenance of the Linux kernel while also reducing product integration costs drastically. In this talk, you will learn what KernelCI is, what we are doing to improve this situation, and, more importantly, what you can do to help!
