SUMMARY:Performance-by-Design: Embedding Intelligent Scaling and Guardrails Into Platform Engineering - Josephine Eskaline Joyce & Tanya Shanker\, IBM India Pvt Ltd
DESCRIPTION:In the modern practice of Platform Engineering (PE)\, performance has traditionally been viewed as an outcome of optimization rather than an architectural principle. This session presents a Performance-by-Design methodology that integrates intelligent scaling\, guardrails\, feedback-driven control loops within Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). Instead of reacting to incidents\, we design platforms that manage latency\, throughput\, cost efficiency\, and stability by applying policy-driven autoscaling\, SLO-aware metrics\, and Kubernetes-native mechanisms constantly. The session outlines a reference architecture with observability pipelines\, custom metrics\, horizontal pod autoscaling\, and platform guardrails to ensure a self-regulating cloud-native operating environment. We show how performance constraints can be codified into golden paths\; teams will inherit optimized defaults. Attendees will receive a structured framework to convert performance from reactive tuning task to platform capabilities - increasing reliability\, decreasing resource consumption and allowing scalable innovation on enterprise cloud-native ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Operating a Self-Healing Bare-Metal Kubernetes Platform at Global Scale - Aparna Prabhu & Nikhil Pathak\, DigitalOcean
DESCRIPTION:Running global\, self-managed k8s for stateful apps is notoriously complex. Most teams opt for managed platforms or VMs to mask the difficulty.\n \n For platform engineers and SREs\, this talk reveals how to confidently run mission-critical StatefulSets on bare-metal k8s. We share how we sustain 99.99% availability SLAs and sub-second recovery. We also explain why bare-metal drastically outperforms VM or managed setups by eliminating hypervisor overhead and granting direct hardware access.\n \n We will dive into the architectural decisions behind:\n \n Cluster-of-clusters: Scaling geographically with isolated regions.\n Intent-driven placement: Hardware isolation for predictable performance.\n Blast-radius containment: Limiting fallout via dedicated failure domains.\n Automated recovery: Software\, not humans at 2 a.m.\, handles failures.\n Continuous reconciliation: Shifting operational burden to code.\n \n This is not a "Kubernetes solves everything" pitch. It’s a candid\, numbers-driven account of engineering a multi-region bare-metal k8s platform where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.

SUMMARY:Building a Zero-Copy DSP Offload Framework in Linux Using RPMsg - Vishnu Pratap Singh & Paresh Bhagat\, Texas Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Modern embedded audio devices increasingly run mainline Linux\, but achieving deterministic low-latency multi-channel audio processing remains a challenge. While heterogeneous SoCs include DSP accelerators capable of handling signal processing workloads efficiently\, integrating these accelerators into a standard Linux audio stack without proprietary middleware is non-trivial.\n This talk presents a practical\, upstream-friendly approach to building a zero-copy DSP offload framework using mainline Linux components such as remoteproc\, rpmsg\, and ALSA. Instead of relying on custom kernel patches or vendor-specific frameworks\, the solution leverages DMA-backed shared memory and rpmsg-based signaling to enable efficient inter-processor communication between ARM application cores and a DSP.\n A key focus of this session is eliminating redundant memory copies across kernel and user space boundaries. By designing a ping-pong buffer architecture with shared memory mapping and pointer-based synchronization\, we achieved deterministic real-time streaming with significantly reduced CPU utilization and improved latency characteristics.

SUMMARY:Judgement Day: Benchmarking "Black Box" LLMs With Open Legal Datasets - Kannan Murugapandian\, DPS International School
DESCRIPTION:As proprietary models like GPT-5 and Gemini assert dominance in professional domains\, the open source community faces a critical challenge: how do we verify their claims without access to their weights? We cannot inspect their code\, but we can rigorously audit their reasoning using open source benchmarks.\n \n In this session\, 16-year-old researcher Kannan Murugapandian presents a technical evaluation of state-of-the-art LLMs using the LegalBench open dataset.\n \n Moving beyond simple Q&A\, this session explores:\n \n 1. The Evaluation Harness: A deep dive into the custom Python-based testing asynchronous pipeline designed to standardize prompts\, manage vector retrieval\, and score outputs across disparate model APIs.\n 2. Open vs. Closed: A data-driven comparison of how open weights models (e.g.\, DeepSeek/Llama) stack up against closed giants when tasked with complex legal logic.\n 3. The "Persona" Myth: Quantitative results testing whether "lawyer personas" actually reduce hallucination rates or merely change the output tone.

SUMMARY:Hey Yocto\, Build Me a Custom Embedded Linux! Er\, No - Kaiwan Billimoria\, kaiwanTECH
DESCRIPTION:The Linux ecosystem powers many\, if not most\, devices these days. Having a well designed sustainable way to build and maintain one – and not having to rely on a hodge-podge collection of hacky scripts – is critical. This talk introduces the Yocto Project - _the_ industry standard way to build and maintain your custom Linux. \n \n With Yocto\, one can build a custom (embedded or otherwise) Linux in an efficient and completely reproducible manner\, along with several related advantages\; it's a 100% open source\, has the ability to build-in security features\, all/most major BSP layers are already available\, and more. \n \nThis session will show you exactly how to get started on building such a custom system with Yocto\; it will of course include leveraging Yocto/OE’s famed layer+recipes model.

SUMMARY:Sponsored Session: Does Zephyr Scare the Bare Metal Embedded Developer World? - Khasim Syed Mohammed & Soumya Tripathy\, Texas Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Bare-metal developers pride themselves on simplicity\, control\, and understanding every line of code. Then along comes Zephyr—with device trees\, Kconfig\, west\, and layers of abstraction—and suddenly\, even blinking an LED feels complicated. So… is Zephyr actually scary?\n\nIn this talk\, we take a practical and honest look at why Zephyr often feels overwhelming to bare-metal developers\, what’s really going on under the hood\, and whether that complexity is justified. Through side-by-side comparisons and live examples\, we map familiar bare-metal concepts to their Zephyr equivalents and uncover where the fear comes from—and where it disappears.\n\nThis isn’t a “Zephyr is better” talk. It’s about understanding trade-offs\, choosing the right tool\, and making the transition without losing your mental model.\n\nBy the end\, you’ll see that Zephyr isn’t replacing bare metal—it’s structuring the complexity you were already managing.\n\n

SUMMARY:AI as a Platform Engineer: Explaining Kubernetes Failures\, Not Just Detecting Them - Paranitharan Kalaiselvan\, Comcast
DESCRIPTION:Modern Kubernetes platforms generate massive volumes of logs\, events\, metrics\, and reconciliation signals\, yet developers still struggle to answer a basic question: why did my deployment fail? At Comcast\, operating large-scale internal Kubernetes platforms\, failures often span platform abstractions\, custom controllers\, policies\, and cluster runtime behavior—making manual diagnosis slow and unreliable.\n \n This talk explores how AI can act as a diagnostic layer in Kubernetes platforms\, focusing on failure explanation rather than detection. It presents architectural patterns for correlating platform intent with Kubernetes signals and translating complex control-plane behavior into clear\, human-readable explanations and actionable guidance. Attendees will learn how AI can augment platform engineers\, improve developer trust\, and significantly reduce time-to-resolution without becoming another opaque system.

SUMMARY:Kubernetes OIDC That Works in Practice: Keycloak + RBAC + Kubelogin Without Day‑2 Pain - Manik Bindlish\, Orange Business Services
DESCRIPTION:Kubernetes supports OIDC login\, but in real life it often becomes painful: users can’t log in\, TLS trust breaks with private Keycloak\, usernames don’t match RBAC rules\, and people end up sharing kubeconfigs or using long‑lived tokens.\n \n In this talk I’ll show a practical way to run Kubernetes access with Keycloak: configure OIDC the right way\, bind users/groups to Kubernetes RBAC\, and use kubelogin (kubectl exec plugin) so tokens are short‑lived and refresh is handled automatically on the client side. \n I’ll also cover the “boring” but important part: handling the Keycloak CA certificate so the login works from admin machines without manual steps.\n You’ll leave with a clear checklist and a working “golden path” setup you can copy for your own clusters\, that eliminate manual day‑2 steps while keeping security and auditability intact.

SUMMARY:Keep AI on Track: Guardrails + OpenTelemetry Observability - Prabal Rakshit\, Infosys Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Robust guardrails are a foundational requirement for preparing AI agents for enterprise‑grade deployment. They ensure that agents consistently adhere to organizational standards\, policies\, and ethical expectations.\n \n OpenTelemetry provides a vendor‑agnostic\, standards‑based framework for observing and validating guardrail behavior at runtime. Its unified APIs and emerging generative AI semantic conventions enable organizations to safely instrument guardrail logic\, eliminate silent failures\, and capture valuable telemetry across decision points.\n \n This session explores the role of guardrails across the entire AI stack\, including data layers\, infrastructure\, orchestration components\, and LLMs themselves. We demonstrate how open‑source frameworks such as NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails or OpenLIT can be used to implement production‑ready guardrail mechanisms. Finally\, we show how key guardrail metrics such as pass/fail rates\, top violation categories\, and latency impact can be instrumented using OpenTelemetry and visualized through enterprise observability backends like Dynatrace or Grafana.

SUMMARY:Security: Why It _has_to Be Open Source - Mike Bursell\, Confidential Computing
DESCRIPTION:We all believe in open source - or we wouldn't be attending this conference. But although open source may be a "nice to have" property for software in general\, this talk will try to convince you that security software really _must_ be open source. With nearly 30 years of open source and security experience\, Mike will address some of the key ways in which the open source community does security - and also debunk a dangerous myth. We will ensure we have lots of times for questions - open source and security should both be two-way conversations!

SUMMARY:Event-Driven Platform Engineering: From Reactive Ops To Autonomous Control Loops - Josephine Eskaline Joyce & Prashanth Bhat\, IBM India Pvt Ltd
DESCRIPTION:Modern platform teams are overwhelmed by reactive operations where manual escalation\, delayed remediation\, and siloed automation take over. This session presents Event-Driven Platform Engineering as a framework for the design of platforms from ticket-driven systems to autonomous control loops. With the aid of Kubernetes controllers\, event streams\, policy engines\, and real-time telemetry\, platforms can identify\, decide\, and act without recourse to human intervention. We will also look at how events from observability systems\, CI/CD pipelines\, policy violations\, and runtime signals can be transformed into actionable triggers for automation that powers scaling\, remediation\, governance enforcement\, and developer workflows. The talk presents a reference architecture consisting of Kubernetes operators\, Prometheus metrics\, event brokers\, and policy-as-code frameworks for developing self-adaptive internal developer platforms. Attendees will gain a structured approach to designing event-native platforms such as MTTR reduction\, SLA compliance\, continuous guardrails enforcement\, and developer experience enhancement that align with open-source cloud-native environments.

SUMMARY:I Break Things\, AI Fixes Them: Building a Self-Healing CI/CD Pipeline - Premved Dhote\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:A broken deployment is every developer's nightmare. Standard CI/CD pipelines fail on minor typos or missing dependencies\, forcing engineers to dig through logs and push manual fixes. What if your infrastructure could safely fix itself?\n This session explores the transition from rigid automation to AI-driven recovery\, introducing the "Pipeline Doctor" in Python: an agentic AI system acting as a self-healing safety net for your repositories.\n Allowing AI to write production code sounds terrifying\, doesn't it? This is why this talk prioritizes strict execution guardrails. Attendees will learn to set strict tool-calling boundaries around the LLM that securely restrict its capabilities.\n Watch me intentionally break a live deployment pipeline to demonstrate how the autonomous agent catches the failure\, securely verifies its fix inside an isolated GitHub Actions sandbox\, and submits a Pull Request paired with an auto-generated Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Attendees will leave with a practical\, open-source blueprint to build self-healing pipelines in their own environments.

SUMMARY:Decoding the Open-source Blueprint for India's Sovereign AI Future - Vincent Caldeira\, Red Hat & Abhishek Kumar Singh\, NxtGen Cloud Technologies
DESCRIPTION:As India transitions from being the world’s largest consumer of open-source software to a leading creator of digital public infrastructure\, a new mandate has emerged: Sovereign AI. To achieve true digital autonomy\, Indian enterprises and public institutions must build AI ecosystems that protect data residency\, reflect local context\, and avoid vendor lock-in. But how do we practically build this sovereign stack?\n \n This session provides an end-to-end technical blueprint for building enterprise-grade sovereign AI infrastructure entirely on open-source technologies. Using a homegrown\, production-ready AI coding assistant as a practical case study\, we will deconstruct the architectural layers required for AI independence. We will explore how to orchestrate scalable infrastructure with OpenStack\, abstract complex multi-vendor GPU environments using Kubernetes\, and deploy high-throughput inference for open-weight models using vLLM.\n \n Beyond the architecture\, we will discuss how Indian firms can adopt this open-source stack to implement highly secure\, air-gapped environments\, protect intellectual property\, and empower local engineering talent to shift from consuming global AI to building it.

SUMMARY:Hardening IoMT Medical Devices: Defense‑in‑Depth on Yocto‑Based Embedded Linux - Abraham Gogulamudi\, GEHealthcare
DESCRIPTION:Connected medical devices (IoMT) increasingly depend on Yocto‑based Embedded Linux platforms to perform critical\, patient‑impacting functions. As cyberattacks on healthcare rise\, securing these devices is now central to patient safety\, regulatory compliance\, and lifecycle quality. This session provides a practical\, defense‑in‑depth blueprint for hardening IoMT devices—starting from secure boot and measured trust to OS‑level hardening\, system integrity\, secure OTA updates\, sandboxing\, runtime protection\, and zero‑trust device‑to‑cloud communication. We will map real‑world cyber trends to specific embedded mitigations and align them with global regulatory expectations for medical devices. The session also demonstrates how open‑source tools within the Yocto ecosystem can enforce reproducible security controls\, generate SBOMs\, and support automated vulnerability triage throughout the device lifecycle. Attendees will gain engineering‑ready patterns to build secure\, maintainable Linux‑based devices—applicable not only in healthcare\, but also industrial IoT\, automotive\, and safety‑critical embedded domains.

SUMMARY:Trust\, but Sandbox: Securing AI Agents in Kubernetes - Sudhanshu Prajapati\, Improving & Prateek Mishra\, Founda Health
DESCRIPTION:You wake up\, open X\, and see the post: new model just dropped. By the time you finish your coffee\, it’s installed\, pointed at your repo\, and already making “helpful” suggestions. It works. It feels safe. But what did you actually just hand over access to\, and how would you even notice if it crossed a line? In this talk\, we’ll unpack why testing every new AI model or coding assistant can quietly introduce serious security risks. Using real examples inspired by incidents like OpenClaw\, we’ll show how AI systems can access internal data\, influence code paths\, and create vulnerabilities without ever asking for permission. We’ll discuss why experimentation without guardrails can bypass existing security controls and normalize unsafe patterns. Most importantly\, we’ll focus on what teams can do instead. The session will include a live walkthrough using the Kubernetes agent-sandbox project to demonstrate how AI agents can be isolated\, sandboxed\, and constrained with clear boundaries. By the end\, attendees will leave with practical approaches to evaluate AI tools safely\, apply guardrails\, and enable innovation without putting code or data at risk.

SUMMARY:Open Source Is Not the Same Anymore - Faeka Ansari\, Akuity Inc. & Hrittik Roy\, vCluster
DESCRIPTION:Open source used to mean something simple: the code is open\, the community builds it\, and everyone benefits. That world is gone. Today\, billion-dollar companies release model weights and call it "open source"\n \n Projects launch with permissive licenses but lock their APIs behind paywalls. Foundations host projects where one vendor controls 95% of the commits. And a new generation of developers is entering open source through AI-generated pull requests they barely understand.\n \n I've spent 7 consecutive Kubernetes release cycles on the release team\, helped build and maintain Kargo - a OSS project for GitOps continuous delivery and worked as a CNCF Ambassador helping new contributors navigate this ecosystem\n \n I've watched the definition of "open source" stretch\, bend & sometimes break in real time.\n \n This talk is about the real problems developers face today when they try to contribute to\, depend on\, or build careers around open source projects that don't play by the old rules. I'll share what I've learned about spotting "open-washing" evaluating project health beyond the GitHub star count\, and building genuine community in an era where the incentives have fundamentally shifted.

SUMMARY:Guide To Become Linux Kernel Maintainer - Krzysztof Kozlowski\, Qualcomm
DESCRIPTION:Linux kernel development has long since moved past the point of lacking contributors\, with around 2\,000 developers participating in each release and up to 330 first-time committers [1]. What the development process is missing\, however\, are reviewers and maintainers.\n \n If you ever thought that becoming a Linux kernel maintainer was something reserved for members of a secret kernel lodge\, join this talk in which we will explain why - and how - you should become a Linux kernel maintainer\, with a focus on improving the Embedded Linux ecosystem.\n \n Intention of this talk is not only present Krzysztof's ideas how to become Linux kernel maintainer\, but also bring discussion with the audience\, hoping more senior kernel maintainers will join and participate with their ideas and comments. Thus it could be considered a sort of half-Birds of Feather session.\n \n [1] LWN.net: Some 6.18 development statistics\, https://lwn.net/Articles/1046966/

SUMMARY:An Introduction To Coreboot and LinuxBoot: Building Modern Open Boot Stack - Manish Baing & Arun Mahendran\, Lenovo
DESCRIPTION:Modern server infrastructure is frequently limited by proprietary UEFI firmware—a slow\, unauditable "black box" that introduces security risks and operational bloat. This session presents a transformative alternative: a lean\, open-source boot stack pairing coreboot with LinuxBoot to achieve rapid boot times .\n We will explore the technical synergy between these two powerhouses. coreboot handles the critical "early wake-up" of silicon—including DRAM\, CPU\, and PCI initialization—before handing control to LinuxBoot. By embedding a minimalist Linux kernel directly into the firmware flash\, LinuxBoot replaces complex UEFI DXE phases with battle-tested upstream drivers. Attendees will learn the conceptual foundations of the u-root Go-based userland for flexible networking and storage logic\, alongside the kexec system call for seamless transitions to the production OS. This session provides a roadmap for building vendor-neutral\, high-performance infrastructure from the reset vector up.

SUMMARY:Strengthening India's FOSS Community - Ansh Arora\, FOSS United Foundation
DESCRIPTION:This talk presents an overview of FOSS United's mission to promote and support the FOSS ecosystem in India. The Foundation was registered in India in 2020 and is supported by thousands of volunteers nationwide throughout the year. Our programs operate on three orthogonal directions- - Individual creators and maintainers (by giving them a platform to talk about their work\, or direct support) - Communities (by either directly creating FOSS communities in India or supporting existing ones) - Organizations (to adopt\, acknowledge use of\, contribute to\, and create FOSS projects) The talk aims to share insights into the programs we have developed to foster collaboration\, innovation\, and community engagement within the tech ecosystem. Attendees will learn about the challenges and successes of building FOSS communities\, increasing awareness about open-source tools\, and strengthening industry-academia-government partnerships. The session will also highlight the broader implications of these efforts on promoting digital inclusivity and shaping India's position in the global free & open-source landscape. We will also showcase some Indian FOSS projects that have come out of the community!

SUMMARY:Downstream Zephyr RTOS Release Management - Keeping up With Upstream Pace - Parthiban N\, Linumiz
DESCRIPTION:Zephyr is officially 10 years old and many silicon manufacturers are moving towards it as a de-facto RTOS. With over 3000+ contributors and 15\,000+ commits per release\, Zephyr is one of the fastest moving open source RTOS projects today.\n Linumiz is a software partner with silicon manufacturers like Infineon and Texas Instruments\, maintaining open source downstream Zephyr releases for their customers. This involves backporting bug fixes\, security fixes\, rebasing\, and moving to new release cycles to keep up with Zephyr's upstream development pace.\n In this talk\, I will walk through how we manage these downstream releases and cope with upstream pace - what works\, what doesn't\, and what product developers should keep in mind when building long-term products on Zephyr.

SUMMARY:Efficient Performance Profiling for Virtual Machines - Sandipan Das\, AMD
DESCRIPTION:Performance profiling in virtualized environments has traditionally required trade-offs between accuracy and overhead. Mediated PMU\, a recent change to Linux's built-in KVM hypervisor\, fundamentally changes this by providing guests direct access to hardware Performance Monitoring Units (PMUs).\n \n This talk will:\n - Explore the differences between the old and new approaches.\n - Demonstrate a reduction in PMU virtualization overhead and improvement in profiling accuracy.\n - Discuss the key trade-off: while guests gain direct hardware access\, the host loses the ability to profile guest workloads through perf.\n \n This talk is ideal for virtualization engineers\, kernel developers\, and anyone performing performance analysis in cloud or virtualized environments who needs accurate\, low-overhead profiling data.

SUMMARY:Scientific Machine Learning With NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo - Aniket Kulkarni & Samudyata Minasandra\, Curlscape
DESCRIPTION:Predicting how air flows and heat distributes through a physical product is essential for product feasibility studies\, performance analysis etc. But it takes hours to days per design variant. You model the geometry\, generate a mesh\, set up boundary conditions\, run the solver\, post-process the results. The bigger issue is the back-and-forth between the designer and the simulation engineer. Multiply that by the dozens to hundreds of variants you need to explore a design space\, and you get missed deadlines\, stale questions\, and engineering time spent waiting instead of thinking.\n This talk covers usage of OpenFOAM to generate parametric training datasets across geometric and flow parameters with Latin Hypercube Sampling\, then train a surrogate model using NVIDIA's PhysicsNeMo framework and its DoMINO (Deep Operator Network for Multi-physics) architecture. DoMINO encodes 3D geometry as a signed distance field\, combines it with local surface features\, and predicts pressure\, temperature\, and velocity directly on the part surface in a single forward pass\, replacing the entire simulation chain. We'll go through how DoMINO works and why it fits this class of problems.

SUMMARY:Recipes and Runtimes: Making Sense of Containers in 2026 - Soundarya Rangarajan\, Canonical
DESCRIPTION:If you feel overwhelmed by jargon thrown around in forums\, conferences\, and headlines focussed on containers and the cloud\, you’re not alone. In 2026\, image hardening\, provenance\, secure supply chains—oops\, it’s happening again\, isn’t it? Let’s step back.\n \n This session takes a hands-on\, bottom-up approach to understand containerization. Build along as we containerize a simple app and run it\, starting with a naive approach and iteratively improving it until we have a production-grade image. At each step\, new concepts are introduced only once we've understood the need for them. We'll work with Docker\, understand container runtimes\, even touch upon new-age tools like Rockcraft and Chisel.\n \n To make this fun\, we’ll use baking as a guiding analogy: images as recipes\, dependencies as ingredients\, and runtime environments as kitchens!\n \n By the end\, you’ll be able to walk confidently into real-world discussions about containers\, ready to participate and learn better.

SUMMARY:The Maintainer’s Perfect Storm: Survival\, Succession\, and a Decoupled Future - Amrit Kumar Verma & Gaurav Mishra\, Siemens
DESCRIPTION:Murphy's Law states\, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." For an Open-Source project\, this can be a daunting task. Imagine you are in between a major architectural change\, trying to decouple a monolith and your community itself starts to decouple. This is what happened recently in our decade old community and we would like to share the raw behind-the-scenes of our journey\, hoping it will be helpful for others who're going through the same.\n \n Our story will portray\, how we lost our veteran leaders and architects departing the community\, placing an unprecedented load on the remaining maintainers to bridge a massive gap in expertise\, institutional knowledge and maintain stability while executing a high-stakes architectural migration. We will also touch bases on how the GenAI can work as a double-edge sword when you are in short of contributors.\n \n Key Takeaways:\n 1. Practical strategies for project survival when veteran institutional memory departs mid-migration.\n 2. Why Next.js was a strategic necessity and not just a nice-to-have upgrade.\n 3. Navigating the influx of high-volume\, variable-quality contributions and managing the burnout.\n 4. Lessons on building a new leadership.

SUMMARY:How Kubernetes Networking Really Works: A Packet’s Journey Across Pods and Nodes - Ashwin Sriram\, Deutsche Bank & M Viswanath Sai\, IIT (BHU)
DESCRIPTION:Every time one Pod talks to another in Kubernetes\, the Linux kernel does a surprising amount of work.\n \n Engineers know Pods get IP addresses. They know Services like ClusterIP and NodePort make workloads reachable. And they trust that traffic somehow finds the right destination.\n \n But what actually happens to a packet once it leaves a Pod\, especially when it needs to reach another Pod on a different node?\n \n In this session\, we trace that journey across a live Kubernetes cluster. We follow real Pod-to-Pod traffic\, observe how packets move across nodes using native Linux networking primitives\, and examine what enables flat\, routable Pod networking without NAT between workloads.\n \n Rather than treating Kubernetes networking as magic\, we connect what we see to the underlying constructs like network namespaces\, veth pairs\, bridges\, routing tables\, and packet filtering rules.\n \n Through live demos\, attendees will build a clear\, practical mental model of how Kubernetes moves packets and leave with a clear mental model for explaining\, observing\, and debugging Pod-to-Pod traffic in Kubernetes.

SUMMARY:Learnings From a $1M Discovery and Funding Experiment - Ansh Arora\, FOSS United Foundation
DESCRIPTION:In October 2024\, we announced floss.fund as a big experiment to fund critical Free/Libre Open Source projects globally\, which in turn was the culmination of a series of ad-hoc funding attempts over the years. It is the first of its kind in India\, and one of the few in the world. Over the last year\, some of the biggest FOSS projects globally applied to the fund - from devtools\, programming languages\, libraries\, critical FOSS infrastructure\, to humanitarian and social-impact projects\, all via word of mouth and volunteer outreach. While the experiment itself has done well\, there have been many disappointments and learnings owing to legal and compliance-related challenges In this talk\, we will share our experience from running the program\, what other projects and funders should know\, and our plans for the future (making FLOSS/fund a community driven effort\, pushing for the creation of an Indian sovereign FOSS fund) We will also introduce funding.json - an open JSON manifest for describing FOSS funding requirements that we launched as an experiment with FLOSS/fund. It has been adopted by some of the biggest projects globally\, and platforms like GitHub\, f-droid\, thanks.dev

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: If Zephyr Wants To Power AI Cameras\, What Must Change? - Rutvij Trivedi\, Silicon Signals Pvt. Ltd.
DESCRIPTION:Cameras are no longer just for pictures\, they are now real-time data pipelines that send information to ISPs\, NPUs\, and control logic. This is because edge AI is becoming a most wanted vision systems. Zephyr is good at deterministic embedded control\, but AI-driven camera workloads need new architectural features like zero-copy buffer sharing\, accelerator coordination\, bounded latency\, metadata synchronization\, and controlled backpressure.\n \n This talks about what needs to change in Zephyr's camera and driver architecture to make AI vision work in the real world. Based on our experience with Linux media pipelines and setting up embedded cameras\, we look at where traditional RTOS-style camera models fail and what simple abstractions are needed to make them work without adding too much complexity.\n \n The goal is not to make Linux features equal\, but to make the architecture better. This includes designing pipelines\, structuring buffer ownership\, making streaming states more predictable\, and making things easier to see. The goal is to keep Zephyr lightweight while also allowing robotics\, industrial\, and mission-critical systems to work with the next generation of AI cameras.

SUMMARY:Lightning Talk: Strengthening Zephyr’s Camera Framework: Architecture Review and Enhancements - Elgin Perumbilly & Ankit Siddhapura\, Silicon Signals Pvt LTD
DESCRIPTION:This session compares how camera support is built in the Zephyr Project and in the Linux kernel camera subsystem.Zephyr focuses on real-time behavior\, low memory usage\, and simple system design\, making it suitable for small\, low-power vision devices. Linux\, through frameworks such as Video4Linux2 and the Media Controller subsystem\, provides a more structured and scalable approach capable of handling complex camera pipelines\, multiple cameras\, and advanced processing.The session examines architectural trade offs between the two camera subsystems\, comparing their design approaches and highlighting differences in driver structure\, pipeline design\, and overall system integration. It also explores how Zephyr’s camera architecture can evolve to support more advanced and scalable vision needs\, moving closer to Linux capabilities.

SUMMARY:Keynote: The Moat Moved from Code to Context - Manish Dixit\, Senior Vice President of Product\, Engineering & IT\, The Linux Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The Linux Foundation runs the world's open source infrastructure — and over the past year we put AI agents on the engine that powers it. This is the honest field report: what we automated\, what broke\, and what it means for the millions of developers whose careers are built on writing code. The headline is uncomfortable but freeing: AI has made writing code nearly free\, so the value moved elsewhere — to judgment\, domain depth\, and trust. The moat moved from code to context. Drawing on India's own proof points\, from UPI to open models like Sarvam and BharatGen\, I map the ladder AI can't climb and the concrete moves people\, companies\, and projects can make to build the open future under their own name.\n

SUMMARY:Keynote: Cut Database Costs\, Fund Innovation with Valkey - Roberto Luna-Rojas\, Sr Developer Advocate for Valkey OSS\, AWS
DESCRIPTION:Every dollar your database wastes on redundant queries is a dollar not funding Innovation. In the era of AI-driven applications\, core infrastructure must run lean so budgets can shift to model inference\, embeddings\, and training. Valkey delivers that headroom. In benchmarks across MySQL\, MariaDB\, and PostgreSQL\, adding Valkey dramatically reduced response times and cut database costs by more than half. For LLM workloads\, semantic caching with Valkey eliminates redundant inference calls\, delivering significant savings on prompt costs while slashing latency. This keynote shows the benchmarks\, the architecture\, and the cost model that frees budget for innovation.

SUMMARY:Breaking Valkey on Purpose: Chaos Fuzzing a High-Performance Key-Value Store With Agentic AI - Renuka Uttarala\, Amazon
DESCRIPTION:Valkey (forked from Redis) is expected to be fast and correct under an enormous variety of workloads\, yet many of the nastiest bugs live outside the reach of traditional unit and integration tests. In this talk\, we’ll demonstrate the Chaos Fuzzer for Valkey\, built to systematically explore edge cases in the Valkey’s cluster bus\, a fundamental part of valkey’s cluster communication model. We’ll show how introducing controlled and uncontrolled chaos into Valkey uncovers correctness issues\, subtle crashes\, and regression risks that only emerge under common real-world scenarios.\n \n Additionally\, we’ll explore how we used Agentic AI to scale fuzzing effectiveness. We will discuss how we leveraged custom AI agents to read\, summarize and validate logs from the nodes in Valkey cluster to automatically identify the reasons for cluster failures and expose new bugs in Valkey. We’ll also discuss how AI can be used to generate new fuzzing inputs and scenarios based on prior failures\, allowing the fuzzer to iteratively focus on the most error-prone scenarios.\n \n In the end\, we will close the talk by discussing how contributors can use this framework to deliver quality features and fixes.

SUMMARY:Secure by Default: Building an AI-Augmented\, OSS-Powered Reusable CI/CD Pipeline - Jenisten Xavier\, Full Creative
DESCRIPTION:What if every repository in your organisation inherited security\, compliance and AI-driven automation the moment it adopted your CI/CD pipeline - with zero extra configuration?\n \n In this session\, I'll walk through a fully reusable\, open-source-first CI/CD pipeline system built on GitHub Actions/GitLab CI that enforces security and quality gates end-to-end. We'll cover how secret scanning\, OWASP Dependency Check\, OWASP Dependency-Track\, OSV Scanner for container images and SonarQube - community edition for SAST are wired together as non-negotiable pipeline steps - not afterthoughts. I'll demonstrate how Dependabot\, Projen and how strict controls actively prevent supply chain attacks before they happen.\n \n Beyond security\, the pipeline handles semantic versioning\, Cloud deployments\, package publishing\, artifact management and test report hosting - all reusable across multiple repos.\n \n The talk concludes with the AI layer: using LLMs to auto-generate changelogs\, trigger SonarQube self-healing agents and track deployment history for incident response. Attendees will leave with a practical blueprint for adopting OSS tools to build pipelines that are secure\, intelligent and built to scale.

SUMMARY:The Containerization of the Operating System: Exploring Bootc and the Future of Linux Deployment - Hema Arun\, EmiratesNBD
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, Linux servers have been maintained using package managers\, configuration management\, and patching cycles. But what if the operating system itself behaved like a container image?\n \n bootc introduces a new model where a full Linux host is delivered\, updated\, and rolled back using OCI images — bringing application deployment semantics to operating systems.\n \n In this talk\, I explore what changes when the host becomes immutable: updates\, drift management\, disaster recovery\, and fleet consistency. Through hands-on experimentation\, I compare traditional configuration management approaches with image-based host delivery and highlight where each model succeeds or fails.\n \n Rather than a product introduction\, this session focuses on operational impact: how platform engineers can rethink provisioning\, patching\, and rollback strategies in data center and edge environments.\n \n Attendees will leave with a clear mental model of when this approach simplifies infrastructure — and when it does not.

SUMMARY:Beyond Static Benchmarks: Chaos Based AgentCert Evaluation for Real World AI Agents - Saramma George & Suganya Selvaraj\, Chetana Amancharla & Praveen Kumar Kalapatapu\, Infosys; Deepak Sharma\, Microsoft
DESCRIPTION:Current evaluation methods for AI agents\, which depend on static benchmarks\, are in adequate for real-world systems. This session reveals why accuracy-centric evaluations create a dangerous illusion of readiness and how real systems—shifting APIs\, incomplete signals\, tool failures\, cascading dependencies\, and environment drift—expose brittleness that benchmarks never measure. We introduce and demonstrate a chaos engineering driven AgentCert approach as an open source project\, developed through a collaborative effort of Infosys and Microsoft\, that evaluates agents the way real infrastructure tests resilience: by injecting controlled faults\, observing recovery behavior\, and measuring adaptation under stress. Participants will learn how scenario-based fault models\, workload-coupled tests\, and observability-rich metrics uncover latent weaknesses and emergent behaviors. The session presents a practical\, open\, and repeatable framework for certifying agents on robustness\, not just correctness—empowering teams to build AI agents that remain stable\, safe\, and dependable when reality gets messy. See https://github.com/AgentCert for more details.

SUMMARY:Speeding up Your ML Workload: Pytorch Compile and Distributed Training - Aishwariya Chakraborty\, Priyanka Naik & Kavya Govindarajan\, IBM; G Chander\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:PyTorch is a widely adopted library for deploying ML workloads. It provides robust support for resource optimization\, including CPU offload capabilities\, memory and distributed workload management. The primary objective of any ML workload is to achieve maximum performance during inference or training. PyTorch enables acceleration of these workloads through support for torch.compile and distributed library capabilities. This session will cover the internals of the torch.compile stack\, including the reasons for performance improvements such as internal graph representation optimization. These benefits will be demonstrated in the hands-on part of the session. While torch.compile can provide performance improvements on a single GPU\, most production workloads require multiple GPUs to significantly reduce overall execution time. This session will examine how tensor distribution across GPUs is performed using various parallelization techniques\, including data\, tensor\, and pipeline parallelism. The hands-on part of the session will involve implementing these parallelization techniques within a mini-PyTorch implementation\, enabling practical understanding of distributed training strategies.

SUMMARY:Governing the Ungovernable: Security and Compliance for AI Agents in Open Source Projects - Ronit Raj\, GitMesh
DESCRIPTION:Open source projects are rapidly adopting AI agents for code review\, issue triage\, PR merging\, and sprint planning. But most projects bolt agents on without asking: who audits what the agent did? What happens when an agent merges malicious code? Who is liable when an AI recommendation violates a contributor agreement? Drawing from GitMesh - an LF-incubated project running production AI agents for engineering workflows - this talk covers the three non-negotiable pillars every open source project needs before deploying agents: • Audit trails: every AI decision logged\, attributed\, and reversible • Policy enforcement: agents operating within explicitly defined contributor permissions and DCO boundaries • Human-in-the-loop gates: approval workflows that preserve maintainer accountability without killing automation speed I'll share what broke when we skipped these\, how we fixed it\, and the open-source tools (OPA\, Sigstore\, audit logging patterns) any project can adopt today. Attendees leave with a practical compliance checklist for AI-assisted open source governance.

SUMMARY:“Hey AI\, Train Llama”: Making Kubeflow Agent-Native With MCP - Akash Jaiswal\, Oracle & Abhijeet Dhumal\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:ML platforms are powerful\, but not always easy to use. A data scientist might understand their model well\, yet struggle with Kubernetes configs\, SDK APIs\, or GPU scheduling. The result is friction — and a lot of “Can someone submit this job for me?” messages.\n \n In this talk\, I’ll introduce Kubeflow MCP Server — a Model Context Protocol bridge that exposes the Kubeflow SDK as AI-callable tools. Instead of writing Python or YAML\, users can train and manage workloads through natural conversation\, while the MCP layer handles validation and policy enforcement underneath.\n \n KEP: https://github.com/kubeflow/community/pull/937\n \n We’ll show:\n Turning Kubeflow operations into structured MCP tools\n Pre-flight checks that catch resource mismatches before submission\n Persona-based filtering so data scientists get safe access while admins keep full control\n A two-phase confirmation pattern to avoid accidental large GPU allocations\n \n This session explores what it means for ML infrastructure to become agent-friendly — without compromising governance or cluster safety.

SUMMARY:Don’t Trash It\, Hack It: Reverse Engineering Secrets & Re-purposing ISP Routers - Dheeraj Reddy Jonnalagadda\, Pixxel
DESCRIPTION:We trust ISP-provided routers with authentication\, firmware updates\, and remote management. Yet\, many remain opaque black boxes running outdated\, poorly audited software built on open source tools.\n In this session\, we open that box.\n Using a commercially deployed embedded Linux router\, I will demonstrate a practical workflow for analyzing locked-down firmware and reclaiming control with open source tools.\n \n First\, the Security Lesson: We will walk through firmware extraction and forensic analysis in a structured way. This includes inspecting the flash storage\, reverse engineering vendor binaries to uncover hardcoded passwords\, and manipulating U-Boot to alter the boot process to gain root access. The focus throughout is understanding how embedded Linux systems are built and identifying where security assumptions fail.\n \n Second\, the Practical Upgrade: With root access secured\, we move beyond analysis to utility. We will transform the router into a network-wide ad blocker using lightweight tools like dnsmasq\, demonstrating how open source enables device longevity and architectural control.\n This session is not about breaking devices\; it is about understanding and reclaiming them.

SUMMARY:Demystifying PCI Interrupts: Understanding MSI/MSI‑X in Linux - Shradha Gupta\, Microsoft
DESCRIPTION:Efficient interrupt handling is at the heart of modern operating systems\, enabling hardware devices to communicate seamlessly with the kernel. In the Linux ecosystem\, the evolution from legacy line based interrupts to advanced mechanisms like Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) and MSI X has significantly improved scalability\, performance\, and reliability. Yet\, for many developers and practitioners\, the inner workings of these mechanisms remain opaque.\n This talk aims to demystify PCI interrupt handling in Linux\, with a focus on MSI/MSI X. We will begin by revisiting the limitations of traditional interrupt models\, then explore how MSI/MSI X leverage in band signaling to overcome them. Attendees will gain insights into:\n • The architectural differences between legacy interrupts and MSI/MSI X.\n • How the Linux kernel configures and manages these interrupts.\n • Practical debugging techniques for PCI devices using MSI/MSI X.\n • Real world performance implications in networking\, storage\, and virtualization workloads.

SUMMARY:Pruning Kernel CVEs With Code Reachability Analysis - Ashish Bijlani\, Ossillate Inc & Chandni B\, Independent Contributor
DESCRIPTION:The Linux kernel is now a CVE Numbering Authority\, a change that has driven an unprecedented increase in reported kernel vulnerabilities. In Kubernetes environments\, this shift has amplified compliance requirements that mandate per-CVE tracking\, remediation\, or justification.\n \n This talk presents a methodology for kernel CVE pruning via static code reachability analysis. We map CVEs to vulnerable kernel functions and evaluate whether those functions are reachable under a specific kernel configuration and execution environment. The analysis incorporates build-time configuration (Kconfig)\, loadable modules\, and inter-procedural call graphs to approximate practical exploitability.\n \n We present an open-source tool that automates this analysis and evaluate it with representative workloads. Our results show that many kernel CVEs are in unreachable code\, yielding a high reduction in reported exposure. We also discuss limitations and implications for compliance-driven vulnerability management.

SUMMARY:Democratizing Grid Intelligence for Developing Nations Through Linux-open-source Infrastructure - Dr. Satabdy Jena\, Shell India Markets Pvt. Ltd. & Dr. Nikita Rao\, IIT Guwahati
DESCRIPTION:Developing countries face increasing renewable integration\, ageing power grid infrastructure and dependence on proprietary energy management systems. This session presents an open\, Linux‑powered blueprint for future-ready power grids built entirely on FOSS principles. Aligned with Shell’s inner‑source philosophy\, the approach demonstrates how shared innovation\, standardized interfaces and reusable components accelerate scalable grid intelligence. Leveraging the LF Energy ecosystem—extending critical modules for load forecasting\, system‑state estimation\, load flow\, voltage control and fault restoration for electric power grids—the architecture shows how community‑driven development reduces vendor lock‑in\, lowers deployment costs and enables rapid iteration. For emerging economies such as India\, this model illustrates how open collaboration strengthens energy resilience while advancing secure and efficient digital infrastructure to support long‑term energy transition goals.

SUMMARY:Beyond the First PR: Why Contributors Stay in Open Source Communities - Yashvant Singh\, EmissionZero
DESCRIPTION:Open source projects often attract many new contributors\, but only a small percentage stay long enough to become long-term community members. What makes some communities different?\n \n In this talk\, I share lessons from my journey from a first-time contributor to a maintainer and community manager in the CircuitVerse ecosystem. Through mentoring contributors\, reviewing pull requests\, and helping grow a community used by hundreds of thousands of learners\, I discovered that retention in open source is less about technical complexity and more about belonging.\n \n This session explores practical strategies for building communities where contributors feel welcomed\, supported\, and empowered. From responsive communication and mentorship to giving contributors ownership and encouraging collaboration\, small actions can significantly impact contributor retention.\n \n Attendees will leave with actionable practices that maintainers and community leaders can apply to build open source communities where contributors not only participate\, but choose to stay.

SUMMARY:When Nobody Owns Quality: Making Testing Responsibility Explicit in Open Source Projects - Ujjwal Kumar Singh\, Skeps
DESCRIPTION:Who owns testing standards in your project? Who decides release gates? Who pays the cost of test debt?\n \n Many open source projects cannot answer clearly. Not because maintainers do not care\, but because test health responsibility emerges informally rather than being explicitly defined. What remains informal becomes nobody's obligation until it turns into everyone's problem.\n \n Examining governance docs\, contributor guidelines and issue discussions from Linux kernel\, Kubernetes\, Apache and OpenStack\, this talk surfaces a recurring pattern: investing in CI alone does not clarify who owns test health. Kubernetes has a testing SIG and extensive CI\, yet flaky test discussions reveal uncertainty about who can enforce fixes.\n \n Four practical steps projects can adopt:\n \n Make testing ownership explicit in governance and contributing documentation.\n Define release quality gates that are written\, versioned and enforced.\n Designate CI health stewardship the way projects designate release managers.\n Track flaky test debt the way projects track open issues.\n \n Open source conferences focus on tools. This talk focuses on ownership: a framework for identifying and closing gaps in test health responsibility.

SUMMARY:Detecting and Defusing the Ticking Time Bomb: Understanding CVEs and Upstreaming in Yocto - Siddharth Doshi\, Montavista Software LLC
DESCRIPTION:Unpatched vulnerabilities don't break builds\, but can compromise entire infrastructures. A single neglected CVE in an embedded device can be a ticking time bomb\, potentially causing millions in damages. But in an ocean of CVE's known vulnerabilities\, how do you achieve high detection rates without drowning in false positives?\n \n This session touch bases the lifecycle of a CVE\, their exploitability\, including how CVSS scores are calculated. It then addresses "translation problem"-explaining why different OS ecosystems label and backport CVEs differently\, often confusing automated scanners.\n \n Next\, the talk deep-dives into practical solutions\, demonstrating how to use SBOMs to map dependencies and implement a semi-automated\, custom scanning strategy on top of it to maximize threat detection.\n \n Finally\, it focuses on practical application within the Yocto Project. The session explores "sustainability loop\," sharing tips for applying security patches and version upgrades without breaking the build and dicusses why hoarding local patches creates crushing technical debt\, and why pushing fixes upstream is the most strategic\, secure choice for both their organization and open-source community.

SUMMARY:Building Hybrid Quantum-Classical Pipelines : A Practical Guide With Qiskit - Sainath Sativar\, International Business Machines; Guncha Malik\, Divya Singh & Amutamil E\, IBM
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing is moving from theory to practice\, but getting started can feel challenging. This session offers an accessible\, open‑source path to writing and running quantum programs. We begin by explaining how quantum computing differs from classical computing starting with bits\, then introducing qubits\, superposition\, and entanglement using clear\, intuitive descriptions rather than heavy math.\n \n We then explore why quantum computing matters\, highlighting problems where classical methods struggle and quantum techniques may help. Next\, we shift to hands‑on work: participants will build simple circuits with Qiskit\, run them on simulators\, and learn how to execute the same code on real quantum hardware. We also demonstrate hybrid quantum‑classical workflows for practical use.\n \n Throughout\, we focus on intuition\, visuals\, and step‑by‑step guidance. By the end\, attendees will understand how quantum programs are structured and feel confident continuing their exploration—whether they’re developers\, students\, researchers\, or curious learners.

SUMMARY:But It Builds on My Machine!: Building Deterministic OCI Images With Nix - Benjamin Philip\, Independent
DESCRIPTION:Docker popularized containers as the solution to the classic “it works on my machine” problem by packaging applications with their environments. Ironically\, while containers make runtime environments reproducible\, images builds often are not. Docker builds tend to have unrestricted network access\, depend on unpinned packages\, and may produce different results over time—leading to inconsistent environments\, fragile CI/CD pipelines\, and difficult-to-reproduce failures. Deterministic software builds are a well-understood problem in the broader build systems world. From a build perspective\, container images are simply artifacts—no different from compiled binaries—and follow the same principles of reproducibility. The Nix build system was designed to produce hermetic\, reproducible builds. By using Nix to construct OCI images\, we can eliminate many sources of non-determinism while enabling the same environment definitions to be reused across development\, CI\, and containers. In this talk\, we’ll explore common sources of non-determinism in Docker builds and show how Nix can produce deterministic OCI images\, from augmenting existing Docker workflows to building images entirely with Nix.

SUMMARY:Operators Live in the Past: Designing Reliable Kubernetes Controllers - Someshwaran Mohan Kumar\, Elastic
DESCRIPTION:Writing a Kubernetes operator looks easy with Kubebuilder and controller-runtime\, until production traffic hits. Then the real problems begin.\n \n This session dives into the hard parts of building production-grade operators\, focusing on the reconciliation loop and managing stateful workloads safely.\n \n Operators inherently "live in the past" because they read from a cache populated by watch events. This stale view can cause subtle race conditions\, over-creation bugs\, and inconsistent state. We’ll explore how to handle this safely using optimistic concurrency\, resource versions\, and the memory expectations pattern used by core Kubernetes controllers.\n \n I’ll also cover designing idempotent reconciliations\, deterministic resource naming\, spec-hash comparisons instead of brittle DeepEqual checks\, safe pod template customization\, and the realities of StatefulSets and persistent volumes\, including update strategies like OnDelete and volume binding pitfalls.\n \n If you’re building or operating controllers in real clusters\, this talk will help you avoid painful production mistakes.

SUMMARY:Generic BootLoader on Android Platforms - Naina Mehta\, Qualcomm India Private Limited
DESCRIPTION:Bootloaders are critical foundation of Android boot process\, responsible for everything from hardware initialization to kernel handoff. However\, the current landscape is heavily fragmented\, with each silicon vendor and OEM maintaining different bootloader implementations. This diversity leads to duplication of effort\, slower security patching\, and complex barriers to upgrading the Android boot framework across the ecosystem.\n To address these challenges\, Google has introduced Generic BootLoader (GBL) - a unified\, Rust-based bootloader developed within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Designed as a UEFI application\, GBL standardizes the boot flow across x86\, ARM64\, and RISC-V architectures and can be deployed across various existing firmware stacks\, including U-Boot\, EDK2\, and LittleKernel.\n This session provides a deep dive into GBL’s architecture. We will explore how GBL utilizes standard upstream UEFI protocols and how it interfaces to select appropriate Device Trees (DT)\, apply DT fixups\, and prepare prepare kernel data (bootconfig/command-line). We will also examine GBL-specific protocols handling Android requirements like A/B slots\, Verified Boot (AVB)\, and Fastboot.

SUMMARY:Towards a Tool for Access-Affinity Based Structure Reordering in the Linux Kernel - Madadi Vineeth Reddy & Aboorva Devarajan\, IBM
DESCRIPTION:Modern CPUs rely on spatial locality when fetching fixed-size cache lines\, but kernel structures are often laid out without reflecting runtime access patterns. Frequency-based reordering groups hot fields together but misses a key insight: two high-frequency fields accessed at different times can still waste cache capacity through eviction between accesses. We propose access-affinity-based reordering fields accessed close together in time should be placed close together in memory.\n \n We trace field-level accesses on struct rq\, compute co-access frequencies within a short time window\, and build an access-affinity graph where edge weights reflect temporal co-access. Hierarchical clustering derives reorderings that collocate temporally correlated fields within cache lines. Evaluated on waitstressor\, cache misses dropped from 36.2B (13.9%) to 25.1B (9.4%)\, with idle_cpu() misses falling from 6.40% to 3.11%. Tool automates this analysis across kernel structures. We explore HTM-based tracing and MemFriend for scalable profiling. Key discussion areas: workload selection per structure\, 64B vs 128B line layouts\, false-sharing avoidance\, and extending this methodology beyond struct rq.

SUMMARY:Quantum-Safe TLS in Practice With Open Quantum Safe & OpenSSL 3 - Divyanshu Agrawal\, Shubham Bhardwaj & Anitha Natarajan\, RedHat
DESCRIPTION:This session gives attendees a ground-up understanding of post-quantum cryptography and shows how it applies to real-world TLS. We start with the essentials: why classical public-key cryptography breaks under quantum attack\, what NIST's post-quantum standardization process produced (ML-KEM\, ML-DSA\, SLH-DSA)\, and how hybrid key exchange lets you transition incrementally without abandoning classical security.\nWe then walk through how the Open Quantum Safe project's oqs-provider plugin for OpenSSL 3 brings post-quantum algorithms into a standard TLS stack. The session covers:\nInstalling and configuring oqs-provider against a standard OpenSSL 3 installationGenerating post-quantum and hybrid X.509 certificates using ML-KEM and ML-DSAStanding up a TLS 1.3 server and connecting with a PQ-enabled openssl s_clientInspecting negotiated ciphersuites and key exchange algorithms in live TLS handshakesComparing classical vs. hybrid vs. pure PQ handshake performance and the tradeoffs involvedExploring the algorithm catalogue - KEMs\, signature schemes\, and their NIST standardization statusNo prior post-quantum knowledge is assumed. Attendees should be comfortable with the Linux CLI and have a basic understanding of TLS.\n\n

SUMMARY:The Process of Exploration in AI Research: A Researcher’s Perspective - Bibekananda Hati\, ExperQuick.org
DESCRIPTION:AI research is often portrayed as breakthroughs driven by larger models and more compute. In reality\, it is an iterative process shaped by uncertainty\, failed hypotheses\, and refinement. When unstructured\, this exploration leads to wasted compute\, irreproducible results\, and opaque decision-making.\n \n This talk examines AI exploration from a researcher’s perspective\, focusing on responsibility and sustainability. From hypothesis formation to experiment design and model comparison\, we explore how structured experimentation enables clearer reasoning and accountable research practices.\n \n A central theme is understanding the behavior of every component of an experiment through systematic testing. Models\, data pipelines\, loss functions\, optimization strategies\, and training loops interact in complex ways. By isolating and analyzing these components deliberately\, researchers can reduce redundant experimentation\, improve transparency\, and make more responsible use of computational resources.\n \n Attendees will gain practical principles for building reproducible\, sustainable\, and ethically grounded AI research workflows in open ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Oops\, My AI Agent Just Deleted All My Email: Locking Down Agents With Signed Policies - Rahul Vishwakarma\, Highlevel
DESCRIPTION:Last week\, a developer's AI coding agent was asked to refactor a module. Instead\, it read .env files\, ran git push --force on main\, and made 300 API calls costing $47. The agent worked exactly as designed - there were just no guardrails with teeth.\n \n AI agents can now execute shell commands\, access secrets\, call APIs\, and spawn sub-agents. But today's safety approaches are just filters - they can't prove an agent actually stayed within bounds.\n \n Aflock is an open source framework built on Witness and in-toto that treats agent permissions like a lockfile treats dependencies - signed\, immutable\, and verifiable.\n No trusted hardware needed. Just policy files and attestations.\n \n https://github.com/aflock-ai/aflock (Apache 2.0)

SUMMARY:"I Didn't Peek: and I Can Prove It": Confidential Computing for Audits and Regulators - Mike Bursell\, Confidential Computing
DESCRIPTION:Protecting privacy for customers and business partners is a key requirement across jurisdictions and sectors\, but proving that privacy is preserved can be extremely difficult. Confidential Computing\, available as a chip-level capability across servers and clouds\, provides not only isolation for sensitive data and applications\, but also cryptographic assurances that it is in place. \n This session explains how Confidential Computing can be used as the basis for privacy-centric systems and processes\, and the types of assurance that can be derived using remote attestation. \n Confidential Computing also has uses across supply chain\, collaboration\, AI and blockchain - we will touch on these topics as well.

SUMMARY:Meet FRED: The Future Face of X86 Event Processing - Shivansh Dhiman\, AMD India
DESCRIPTION:FRED (Flexible Return and Event Delivery) represents a modernization of x86 processor event handling\, replacing the decades-old IDT (Interrupt Descriptor Table) mechanism and eliminating its inherent design flaws. This advancement introduces new low-latency ring transitions that establish complete supervisor or user context. FRED uses stack-based event delivery with integrated event data and introduces dedicated ERETU and ERETS return instructions. \n \n These enhancements resolve longstanding issues related to atomicity\, consistency\, and nested exception handling in x86 architecture. This results in faster\, more reliable and robust event processing through simplified system software and reduced attack surface. \n \n The talk will start with a look at traditional IDT event delivery and the issues it creates. Then\, we’ll dive into the FRED overview\, covering briefly its terminology\, design\, and core mechanisms. To wrap up\, we’ll touch advanced topics like virtualization and GS segment handling\, highlighting why FRED is a major leap forward for modern x86 architecture.

SUMMARY:53 Years of Ethernet: Evolving With Open Standards for AI Infrastructure - Kapil Mehta\, Cisco Systems (India) Private Limited
DESCRIPTION:The rapid growth of AI data centres is placing unprecedented demands on Ethernet\, pushing the 53 year old technology beyond its legacy of best effort delivery. While Ethernet has continuously evolved\, modern AI workloads introduce unique challenges such as RDMA driven traffic patterns\, network congestion\, and the need for lossless\, ultra-low latency communication. These demands are critical across both scale-up and scale-out AI fabrics\, which must support high-throughput training and latency-sensitive distributed inference between tightly coupled GPUs or xPUs.\n \n This session explores how the ecosystem is addressing these challenges\, highlighting key advances in open standards including:\n \n The Ultra Ethernet Transport (UET) protocol from the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC)\, a Linux Foundation project.\n The SUE-T protocol associated with the UA Link industry initiative.\n The Ethernet for Scale-Up Networking (ESUN) work-stream within the Open Compute Project (OCP).\n \n Open collaboration is reinventing Ethernet as the scalable\, interoperable backbone for the next generation of computing.

SUMMARY:Confidently Wrong: When AI Cannot Catch Its Own Bugs - Shailja Thakur\, IBM Research\, Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:AI systems handle complex reasoning tasks with fluency\, yet consistently fail at simple logic — arithmetic\, timezone conversions\, unit mismatches — with confidence. The problem deepens when AI agents injest AI-generated code/text: the generator and verifier share the same training distribution\, and often the same blind spots. A model that writes a wrong timezone conversion will just as confidently verify it as correct. The error is invisible to both.\n This talk presents concrete examples and an empirical study of these shared failure modes. We show which categories of errors are most prone to this — where they silently pass both generation and verification — and show practical approaches to break the symmetry using deterministic validation layers that catch what models miss.

SUMMARY:What If Npm Install Could Say No? Real-Time Defense Against Malicious Packages - Sahil Bansal\, SafeDep
DESCRIPTION:Every npm install or pip install pulls in dozens of packages which includes transitive dependencies no one has reviewed. This is the most unguarded moment in the software supply chain: malicious code enters a developer's machine before any CI/CD check or SBOM scan even runs.\n \n Attackers know this. Typosquatting\, dependency confusion\, and pre/post-install script exploitation all target the install step specifically\, because that's where defences are weakest.\n \n In this talk\, I'll discuss a different approach: guarding the package manager itself. Instead of scanning after installation\, what if we could analyse packages in real-time and block threats before they execute? I'll walk through real attack patterns\, explain how combining malware analysis with OS-native sandboxing makes this practical\, and share what we've learned building open source tooling in this space.\n \n You'll get to know about:\n - Why install-time is the critical gap in dependency security\n - How real supply chain attacks bypass pipeline-stage scanning\n - Practical ways to add real-time package protection using open source tools

SUMMARY:Full Disk Encryption for Confidential Computing Guests - Anirban Sinha\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:Modern confidential computing technologies like AMD SEV-SNP and Intel TDX provide a reliable way to isolate guest workload and data in use from the virtualization or cloud infrastructure. Protecting data at rest is\, however\, not something you get ‘by default’. The task is particularly challenging for traditional operating systems where users expect to get full read/write experience.\n \n The good news is that Linux OS already offers a number of great technologies which can be combined to achieve the goal: dm-verity and dm-integrity\, LUKS\, discoverable disk images and others. Doing it all right\, however\, is left as an “exercise to the reader”. In particular\, the proposed solution must allow for meaningful remote attestation at any time in the lifetime of the guest.\n \n The talk will focus on the recent developments in various upstream projects like systemd and dracut which are focused on making full disk encryption consumable by confidential computing guests running in a cloud.

SUMMARY:Breaking the TCP Barrier: Accelerated I/O for S3 With RDMA - Vidushi Mishra\, IBM/Redhat
DESCRIPTION:S3 APIs power modern Linux infrastructure\, yet most object storage traffic still relies on TCP/IP. Under high concurrency and large transfers\, TCP becomes CPU-intensive and limits throughput. RDMA promises Accelerated I/O through kernel bypass and zero-copy data movement—but applying RDMA to S3 workloads is not the same as NFS or block storage.\n \n This session explores how RDMA can accelerate S3-style object transfers in distributed storage systems. We examine memory registration strategies\, connection scalability\, and what changes when dealing with multipart uploads\, HTTP range reads\, and parallel clients.\n \n Through real validation scenarios\, we compare throughput\, latency\, and CPU usage across TCP and RDMA paths. We’ll also highlight where RDMA excels\, and where it falls short\, such as in small-object or metadata-heavy workloads.\n \n Attendees will gain a practical framework for evaluating Accelerated I/O in their own Linux storage environments: what to measure\, what to tune\, and what performance gains to realistically expect.

SUMMARY:Introducing In-Kernel PSI Auto Monitor Feature - Pintu Kumar Agarwal\, Qualcomm
DESCRIPTION:Pressure Stall Information (PSI) is excellent for detecting CPU/memory/I/O contention via trigger windows and user-space polling\, but it intentionally avoids attributing pressure to individual tasks. In practice\, during severe pressure the “who did it?” question is hardest to answer: systems are sluggish\, logs are noisy\, and user-space observers can be delayed or miss the critical moment.\n Building on PSI work presented at LPC 2024\, this session introduces an optional\, configurable\, lightweight In-Kernel PSI Auto Monitor that captures thread-level contributors exactly when configured PSI thresholds are breached. The design avoids changes to PSI fast paths\, requires no always-on daemon\, and records contending tasks using existing kernel mechanisms and tracepoints.\n I will share upstream patch status and experimental results from real embedded workloads\, including PREEMPT_RT scenarios\, quantifying trigger latency\, overhead\, and improvements in root-cause identification. Finally\, I will demo a GenAI-assisted pipeline that parses monitor logs\, generates timelines\, and produces actionable summaries to speed up pressure-event debugging.

SUMMARY:Identity and Access Management for the Decade Ahead - Thivaharan Kalyanasundaram\, WSO2
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations are running IAM infrastructure designed for a different era — built around human users and browser-based logins\, then grown through procurement until it became fragmented and misaligned with how modern enterprises actually work.\n Three forces are about to stress this model beyond its limits. AI agents need identities and governance just like humans but operate nothing like them. Converged identity platforms are replacing tool sprawl with unified architectures where governance\, access management\, and privileged access share a common foundation. And verifiable credentials are introducing decentralized trust models where identity claims can be carried and verified across organizational boundaries without a central provider.\n This session maps what IAM needs to look like to handle all three\, grounded in practical implementation experience rather than analyst predictions. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of where IAM is heading and how to start evolving today's infrastructure without rebuilding from scratch.

SUMMARY:Writing for Machines: How To Capture Your Project's "Vibe" and Survive AI Slop - Kaushlendra Pratap Singh & Shaheem Azmal M MD\, Siemens
DESCRIPTION:Vibe coding is the latest buzz - the practice of defining your intent and letting AI handle the syntax. But are you doing it right to be the 10x developer\, or still struggling with the AI Slop? Open source is currently the battleground for this transition\, drowning in "AI Slop" and "AI Pressure".\n \n The problem isn't isolated with the AI capabilities\; our outdated developer mindset is to be blamed too. We are still treating syntax as the primary asset and writing documentation for human consumption.\n \n We are introducing the new paradigm: In the age of vibe coding\, code is a use-and-throw commodity. The true IP of your project is the context\, the historical decisions\, the constraints\, and unwritten rules.\n \n In this session\, lets explore how to stop fighting AI agents buy designing for them. We will move beyond the traditional "human-in-the-loop" defense and embrace a new reality of Context Engineers.\n \n Key Takeaways\n * Understand the mechanics of AI-assisted coding.\n * Why source code is becoming a disposable commodity\, and the project context is the new asset.\n * Actionable strategies to help AI understand your project's knowledge base.\n * How to adapt TDD to validate AI intent.

SUMMARY:From Pipelines To Provenance: Reproducible Builds With Tekton - Shubham Bhardwaj & Divyanshu Agrawal\, Red Hat
DESCRIPTION:What if two independent builds of the same source code produced byte-identical artifacts every time? That’s the goal of reproducible builds and one of the strongest guarantees we can provide for software supply chain integrity. Yet in many CI/CD systems\, builds still include hidden sources of nondeterminism.\n \n In this session we’ll break down what reproducible builds actually mean\, why they matter beyond simple bit-for-bit equality\, and the common pitfalls that quietly break reproducibility—embedded timestamps\, non-deterministic file ordering\, and environment leakage.\n \n As a Tekton maintainer\, I’ll show how Tekton pipeline primitives such as hermetic execution\, parameterized TaskRuns\, and provenance via Tekton Chains can make deterministic builds practical in real pipelines. Through a live demo\, we’ll build a container image\, verify identical digests across independent pipeline runs\, and generate SLSA-compliant provenance.\n \n Attendees will leave with a clear mental model of reproducibility and concrete patterns for auditing and improving their own pipelines.

SUMMARY:Agentic Delivery\, Guardrailed: AI in CI/CD & Platform Engineering (Open Source Patterns) - Manas Ray & Kalyan Kolachala\, Symphony AI Group
DESCRIPTION:AI is changing software delivery—but most teams don’t need more “chat with logs.” They need an engineering platform that turns delivery signals into reliable\, auditable outcomes. In this session\, we’ll walk through practical AI patterns for CI/CD and internal platforms using open-source building blocks: pipeline failure triage copilots grounded in CI logs and runbooks\, flaky test detection\, test prioritization/selection to shorten feedback loops\, and change-risk scoring to drive progressive delivery.\n You’ll get a reference architecture that treats the platform as a product: a unified “delivery intelligence” layer that connects Git\, CI\, CD\, and observability (OpenTelemetry) into a closed loop—recommend → assist → automate—only within strict guardrails. We’ll cover what makes this production-safe and open-source friendly: evidence-first outputs (no claim without links)\, policy-as-code boundaries\, secrets redaction\, prompt-injection defenses\, and evaluation harnesses so AI behavior is testable like any other dependency.\n Attendees leave with a starter backlog\, rollout plan\, and metrics to prove impact (cycle time\, false-red rate\, MTTR\, and change failure rate).

SUMMARY:From Noise To Signal: Building Smart Observability Pipelines With OpenTelemetry - Manoj Sardana\, HCL Software; Saloni Narang\, Kubesimplify; Saiyam Pathak\, vCluster
DESCRIPTION:Cloud-native systems generate massive volumes of telemetry signals for metrics\, logs\, and traces\, but more data does not always improve observability. Many teams struggle with noisy signals and poorly designed pipelines that increase storage costs and flood engineers with low-value alerts.\nIn this session\, we focus on providing best practices for building effective\, noise-free telemetry pipelines using OpenTelemetry Collector\, with the LGTM stack (Loki\, Grafana\, Tempo\, and Mimir) as the backend observability platform. We will demo collectors and design pipelines using processors such as filter\, transform\, and attributes\, along with OTTL (OpenTelemetry Transformation Language) for fine-grained filtering and signal transformation. We will also demonstrate tail-based sampling for traces and routing processors to selectively direct telemetry to appropriate backends\, helping control signal volume and storage cost.\n\nBy the end of the session\, attendees will gain practical experience designing OpenTelemetry pipelines that prioritize signal quality over quantity using various filtering and processing techniques.

SUMMARY:Facing Extinction: The Fight To Keep Hardware Crypto Engines in Embedded Linux - Kamlesh Gurudasani & T Pratham\, Texas Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Hardware cryptographic accelerators have been essential in embedded SoCs for decades\, yet upstream Linux maintainers are removing/rejecting them. The extinction is underway.\n \n In 2025\, maintainers began removing async crypto API support\, targeting engines from major SoC vendors for deprecation.[1][2] Software wins on throughput for typical payloads. ARMv8/v9 Crypto Extensions amplify this advantage. Performance-wise\, maintainers have a point.\n \n But benchmarks miss critical security. Hardware provides what software cannot: DPA/EMA side-channel attack resistance[3]\, hardware-backed wrapped key isolation\, and secure boundaries essential for physically accessible devices. With PQC transition\, hardware crypto becomes more essential.\n \n The crisis: maintainers remove features certifications require and contracts mandate\, forcing vendor forks from mainline.\n \n We address making the security case and finding compromises satisfying both maintainability and embedded security.\n \n [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250708181313.66961-2-ebiggers@kernel.org/ \n [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250704070322.20692-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/\n [3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250618175847.GA1639822@google.com/

SUMMARY:Meaning Over Bits: How Semantic AI and eBPF Define the 6G Open Stack - Khushi Chhillar\, NgKore & Satyam Soni\, NitroStack
DESCRIPTION:6G isn't just faster 5G it's a paradigm shift toward semantic and goal-oriented communications\, where networks transmit meaning rather than raw bits. The ITU IMT-2030 framework positions native AI and semantic layers as first-class network citizens. But what does this look like in open source? This talk breaks down the semantic communication stack: the AI encoder/decoder models\, the task-oriented transmission protocols\, and the Linux-based infrastructure that will run 6G network functions. We'll explore how eBPF provides the programmable observability layer for semantic pipelines \, tracing inference latency\, enforcing semantic QoS policies\, and monitoring model-level telemetry at the kernel boundary. Attendees will walk away with a concrete mental model of the open 6G architecture and where open source communities need to build next.

SUMMARY:JSON Wastes 60% of Your AI-LLM Tokens. TOON Fixes That - Vitthal Mirji
DESCRIPTION:Every token sent to an LLM costs money. When you serialize data as JSON for a prompt\, you pay for repeated field names\, extra braces\, and structural noise on every single row. For large datasets that overhead runs to 40-60% of your token bill & it adds nothing useful to the prompt.\n \n TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) is a compact\, human-readable format built specifically for LLM prompts. It writes column headers once and streams data as plain rows\, similar to CSV\, but with full support for nesting\, arrays\, and schema markers. The result is 40-60% fewer tokens with measurably better LLM accuracy: 73.9% one-shot vs JSON's 69.7% on tabular tasks.\n ​\n This talk covers the TOON format from the ground up: why it exists\, how it encodes data\, when it wins over JSON and when it does not\, and how to use it in real LLM prompts today.\n \n Finally we walk through the toon4s-spark integration\, connecting Apache Spark and Databricks to TOON and streaming patterns on Delta Lake.\n \n You will leave knowing exactly how to cut LLM prompt costs\, with a format and library you can adopt from any JVM stack today.\n \n Check-\n https://github.com/com-vitthalmirji/toon4s\n https://toonformat.dev/

SUMMARY:Beyond SBOMs and SLSA: Build Trust With Custom Attestations for End-to-End Supply Chain Security - Lavakush Biyani & Pranay Shah\, Harness
DESCRIPTION:Securing software supply chains requires more than just standard formats like SBOMs or SLSA Provenance. Organizations often need custom attestations\, metadata that proves how an artifact was built\, what dependencies were used\, and whether policies like vulnerability scans or unit tests were executed.\n \n In this session\, I will show how to extend supply chain security using open-source tools such as Cosign\, InToto\, and Witness to generate\, ingest\, and verify these custom attestations. \n \n You’ll learn:\n \n - How to produce attestations for builds\, tests\, and security checks.\n \n - Methods to sign and verify artifacts\, ensuring integrity and authenticity.\n \n - Ways to maintain provenance and chain-of-custody for all artifacts.\n \n - How to enforce custom compliance policies in CI/CD pipelines using OPA.\n \n Through an end-to-end practical demo\, you will gain actionable strategies to go beyond standard attestations\, giving full visibility and trust in your software supply chains.
