Keynote: Open Models Need Open Memory - Nigel Brown, Senior OSS Developer Advocate - Valkey, Amazon Web Services

Tuesday August 11, 2026 10:05 - 10:10 KST

Grand Ballroom 2-3

Modern AI agents are only as useful as what they can remember. Behind every agent that recalls a user, holds a session, or retrieves context sits a data layer that has to be fast, durable, and portable across the places the agent runs. That memory layer is becoming critical infrastructure, and how it is built and governed determines whether teams stay in control of their own systems or inherit the constraints of whoever owns the layer beneath them. This talk examines the technical problem of stateful memory for AI agents at low latency and scale: the architectural patterns for session state and vector retrieval, the trade-offs between them, and why the licensing and governance of the data layer matter as much as its performance. Valkey, a community-governed key-value datastore under the Linux Foundation, serves as a case study in how these challenges can be met in the open.

Keynote: Open Source for AI and AI for Open Source - Priya Nagpurkar, Vice President, Hybrid Cloud and AI Platforms, IBM Research

Tuesday August 11, 2026 10:15 - 10:30 KST

Grand Ballroom 2-3

Open source has been the single most powerful force democratizing AI—taking capabilities that might otherwise be confined to a handful of well-resourced labs and putting them within reach of researchers, developers, and IT operators everywhere. But the relationship runs both ways: as AI systems increasingly write and contribute code, they are reshaping the open-source ecosystem itself—straining how we manage a rising tide of machine-generated contributions and how we secure code in an era when both attackers and defenders are AI-augmented. In this keynote, I make the case for why open models and open technologies like PyTorch, vLLM, and llm-d are critical enablers for enterprises and governments seeking greater control and flexibility over their AI, and I highlight the technical innovation making this possible. I close by arguing that we have a real opportunity to turn this two-way street into a virtuous loop—building AI that accelerates and secures open source even as open source accelerates AI.

Upstream Kernel Hardening: Recent Progress and Challenges - Gustavo A. R. Silva, Linux Kernel Self-Protection Project

Tuesday August 11, 2026 11:00 - 11:30 KST

Orchid 1

With the release of Linux 7.0, Rust is no longer considered experimental. New and safer components are expected to be written in Rust in the near future. However, the Linux kernel still contains more than 35 million lines of code written in C. This code will remain critical for years to come and, for the benefit of everyone, must continue to be maintained, improved, and hardened where possible.

In the Linux Kernel Self-Protection Project, we care deeply about this, and we've been advancing kernel hardening upstream for several years. In this presentation, we'll review recent hardening efforts and discuss the challenges we continue to face as we work toward our ultimate goal of eliminating classes of bugs and methods of exploitation in the upstream Linux kernel.

SBOMs Aren't Enough. Secure Your Software Supply Chain End-To-End - Yongjae Chung, New York University Secure Systems Lab & Justin Cappos, New York University

Tuesday August 11, 2026 11:00 - 11:30 KST

Magnolia

You probably heard that SBOMs are helpful, but did you know that an SBOM only addresses a fraction of what can go wrong in your software supply chain? The SLSA (Supply Chain Levels for Software Artifacts) specification identifies 9 distinct threat areas, spanning from source code, all the way to package distribution. Most development teams address one or two of these and call it a day, leaving gaps that real-world attacks like SolarWinds and Log4J have already exploited. We understand that it is difficult to cover all aspects when it comes to the software supply chain.

How about we make this much easier? In this talk, we will present an overview of the modern software supply chain threat model, and show how you can provide integrity throughout the whole process of your software development life cycle. We will introduce an easy-to-setup, end-to-end open source stack, built from frameworks and tools within the CNCF/OpenSSF ecosystem.

Self-Healing Rollouts: Automating Production Fixes With Agentic AI - Kevin Dubois, IBM

Tuesday August 11, 2026 11:40 - 12:10 KST

Orchid 2

Your software rollouts to production are probably always flawless, right? For the rest of us, once in a while we do run into issues when releasing code to production. Even with robust CI/CD, production rollouts can hit unexpected snags. While in Kubernetes, ArgoCD and Argo Rollouts excels at Progressive Delivery and automated rollbacks to mitigate deployment issues, what if we could go a step further?

This session explores how to elevate your release process by integrating Agentic AI and asynchronous coding agents, with Argo Rollouts canary deployments. We'll demonstrate how an intelligent agent can automatically analyze a rollout failure, pinpointing the root cause. Beyond diagnosis, these agents can take proactive steps on your behalf, suggesting and even implementing code fixes as new pull requests, which can be redeployed automatically after PR review. This approach moves us closer to truly self-healing deployments.

Join us to learn how to combine the power of cloud native projects like Kubernetes, ArgoCD and Argo Rollouts with the autonomous capabilities of Agentic AI, achieving a release experience that is not only seamless but also resilient.

Getting Started With Kernel Programming: The Linux Kernel Mentorship Program - Jori Koolstra, Independent

Tuesday August 11, 2026 11:40 - 12:10 KST

Orchid 1

The Linux Kernel is one of the most influential and widely-used open source software projects today. However, getting started -- understanding the code and contributing to it -- can be quite daunting. Kernel code often carries history and conventions that are not always documented, but are rather shared by the community as tribal knowledge. Moreover, understanding operating-system-level source code comes with its own unique challenges: there is no libc, you need to know about low-level primitives like memory barriers and various types of locking mechanisms, and memory handling errors can bring the whole system down (no garbage collection either, of course!).

The Linux Kernel Mentorship Program (LKMP) addresses some of these difficulties and aims to mentor prospective contributors to overcome the initial hurdle -- because everything becomes easier after your first contribution. The program is led by experienced kernel maintainers with the assistance of regular contributors and is open to anyone.

In this talk I will detail my experience as an LKMP mentee and explain how I have progressed since. I will also explain how you can get started with a small patch!

Sponsored Session: From Clicks to Rankings: Building a Learning-to-Rank Pipeline with OpenSearch - West Kim, AWS

Tuesday August 11, 2026 11:40 - 12:10 KST

Rose

Search relevance improves when ranking reflects how users actually interact with results. OpenSearch provides three plugins that work together to enable this: User Behavior Insights (UBI) collects click and query data, Search Relevance Workbench (SRW) evaluates ranking quality, and Learning to Rank (LTR) applies machine-learned models to reorder results. This session walks through the full workflow: collecting user behavior data with UBI, training an XGBoost-based ranking model, and deploying customized search rankings using the LTR plugin.

Stop Trusting a Black Box: The Economic Case for Open, Sovereign AI - Vincent Caldeira, Red Hat

Tuesday August 11, 2026 11:40 - 12:10 KST

Grand Ballroom 2-3

As AI matures from a novelty into a strategic asset, 79% of organisations now prioritise sovereignty to mitigate vendor lock-in and secure critical data. Despite this, the market remains paralysed by a paradox: while open models have achieved performance parity with proprietary systems at a fraction of the cost, they remain massively under-utilised due to perceived friction and trust gaps.

This session dissects this market inefficiency, with insights from LF Research revealing how closed-source dominance is often driven by inertia rather than superior capability. We will explore how to operationalise true independence by rejecting "open-washing" in favour of rigorous frameworks that demand full model completeness: verifying everything from training data to weights. Join us to learn how to transition from renting black-box APIs to architecting a transparent, reproducible, and economically superior AI stack.

One Binary, Every Package Manager: Shipping a Rust CLI To PyPI, Npm, Homebrew, Winget, and Beyond - Ajit Kumar, Wellmatix

Tuesday August 11, 2026 11:40 - 12:10 KST

Magnolia

Most dev tools die in obscurity because installation friction kills adoption before the first command is run. This talk provides a battle-tested playbook for solving that problem using evnx—a Rust CLI for validating and secret-scanning `.env "files"—as a real-world case study.

Launched in early 2026, evnx achieved thousands of cross-ecosystem downloads within weeks by treating distribution as a first-class engineering concern. The session breaks down a complete distribution matrix:

Registry Packaging: Using crates.io as a source of truth, Maturin for native Python wheels, and npm wrappers for platform-specific binaries.
OS Package Managers: Automating Homebrew formulas via cargo-dist, plus Scoop and Winget submissions.
Developer Integration: GitHub Actions with SARIF output, pre-commit hooks, and lightweight Docker CI images.
Supply-Chain Security: Leveraging PyPI Trusted Publishing (OIDC), provenance attestations, and cosign for signed containers.

Attendees will receive reusable GitHub Actions workflows and manifest templates from the public evnx repo to ship any Rust CLI across ecosystems without sacrificing security or maintainer sanity.

KNOD: In-Kernel Network Offload Device for GPU-Accelerated Packet Processing - Taehee Yoo, LINE Investment Technologies & Hoyeon Lee, SUSE

Tuesday August 11, 2026 13:35 - 14:05 KST

Orchid 1

GPU compute resources remain inaccessible to the Linux kernel without userspace runtimes (ROCm, CUDA), forcing network packet processing to stay CPU-bound regardless of available GPU capacity.

We present KNOD (in-Kernel Network Offload Device), a Linux kernel framework that enables GPU-accelerated network packet processing entirely within the kernel. KNOD compiles and launches GPU kernels natively, dispatching packet processing workloads directly to the GPU — no ROCm, no userspace involvement, using only publicly documented hardware interfaces.

XDP offload is KNOD's first use case. Building on our LPC 2025 talk, this talk covers: in-kernel GPU kernel compilation targeting AMD GFX9/Vega ISA with post-processing optimizations (latency: ~118µs → ~46µs); a lock-free GPU-side queue between NIC RX path and GPU compute; and branch divergence mitigation to maximize SIMT utilization across heterogeneous packet flows.

At equivalent throughput (~32 Mpps), KNOD reduces system-wide CPU utilization from 40% (CPU-based XDP) to 17-20%. We discuss lessons from MACsec/WireGuard offload attempts and the path toward KNOD as a general kernel framework for GPU-accelerated network functions.

Science in the Agentic Era: Structured Experimentation With Ado - Alessandro Pomponio, IBM

Tuesday August 11, 2026 13:35 - 14:05 KST

Grand Ballroom 2-3

As AI agents become increasingly capable of generating code and executing complex workflows, their use in research is still limited by concerns about rigour and reproducibility. This session introduces ado, an open-source framework that brings structure to agent-driven scientific experimentation.

ado defines schemas for the core elements of a discovery process: the problem space and how to explore it. Agents iteratively propose and refine experimental campaigns as validated configurations based on these schemas, while ado handles execution. This separation of research intent from execution constrains agents to focus on the research task, reducing hallucinations and the need to write boilerplate code. Combined with a set of agent skills for formulating problems, creating and running experiments, and analysing their results, ado provides a framework for end-to-end agent-driven discovery workflows.

Whether you are an experienced researcher or new to computational experimentation, this talk presents a practical model for integrating AI agents into research workflows while keeping experimentation structured, transparent, and reproducible.

Sponsored Session: Trust by Design: Engineering Reliable Enterprise AI Workflows with Open Source - KyoSeok Kim & Suyeon Woo, IBM

Tuesday August 11, 2026 13:35 - 14:05 KST

Rose

When enterprises bring AI into real-world operations, reliability challenges extend far beyond hallucinations and response accuracy. Document structure and meaning can be lost during processing, retrieval may fail to provide sufficient grounding, and models may violate business rules or operational constraints. As agents connect to enterprise systems, additional risks emerge, including unauthorized tool calls and actions that are difficult to trace or audit.
These challenges cannot be addressed by adding a guardrail at the final stage. Reliability must be designed across the entire workflow, from document understanding and retrieval to reasoning, generation, and execution.
This session presents an open-source reference architecture that combines document representation with Docling and DocLang, grounded retrieval and reasoning with OpenRAG and Granite, requirement-driven generation and validation with Mellea, and controlled, observable tool integration with ContextForge.

Panel Session: Realizing Sovereign AI: Strategies for Korea’s Tech Sovereignty and AI Independence Via Open Source - Yongkook Kim & Priya Nagpurkar, IBM; Jae Lee, Rebellions; Alice Oh, KAIST

Tuesday August 11, 2026 13:35 - 14:05 KST

Magnolia

When global AI development being centralized around proprietary "black-box" models, the demand for Sovereign AI has become a national priority for many countries, including South Korea. True sovereignty requires more than just local data or local LLMs; it demands independence across the entire stack—from silicon up to the software services, as well as AI model itself. This panel challenges the misconception that global technology leaders are incompatible with national goals, demonstrating instead how open-source collaboration is the only viable path to technical and data independence as foundation for Sovereign AI.

LLMs Change — Where Should Knowledge Live? (Lessons From SBOM) - Koji Annoura, Annoura Office

Tuesday August 11, 2026 14:15 - 14:45 KST

Rose

Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used to search, summarize, and generate answers. They are powerful, but results are not always stable and can be difficult to verify.

Many systems use Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to connect LLMs with external data. This helps, but does not fully solve the problem. The same question can produce different answers depending on the model or context, making knowledge hard to manage.

This raises a simple question: where should knowledge be managed?

A similar issue exists in software supply chains. SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) makes components and relationships visible, but is often treated as static data.

Based on hands-on experience designing graph-based knowledge systems, this session introduces a design approach: managing knowledge outside LLMs as structured, persistent data.

We discuss lessons from SBOM and how graph-based approaches—using technologies such as SQL/PGQ or GQL—can help understand relationships and trace changes.

The focus is a practical way of thinking for more open and sustainable knowledge practices.

Bridge X86-64 Applications To ARM64 and RISC-V With Dynamic Binary Translation - Jim Huang & Chi-Kuan Chiu, National Cheng Kung University

Tuesday August 11, 2026 14:55 - 15:25 KST

Orchid 1

Running unmodified x86-64 binaries on ARM64 and RISC-V Linux systems remains important, but existing solutions often involve high overhead or depend on platform-specific hardware. Box64 addresses this gap with a wrapping-first architecture that prioritizes native execution by routing calls into host libraries through ABI translation, while reserving JIT compilation for guest code that cannot be directly mapped.

This session presents the core design of Box64 in three parts. First, a native wrapping layer that spans hundreds of libraries, handling entry-point interception and callback bridging. Second, a multi-pass JIT compiler that applies optimizations such as flag liveness analysis and deferred flag computation. Third, system-level integration techniques that enable practical deployment, including container bypass, mixed-bitness coordination with Wine, and memory ordering support on weakly ordered architectures.

We will also share performance results on ARM64 and RISC-V platforms, showing how Box64 achieves near-native performance in favorable cases and significant speedups over traditional emulation approaches.

The shift to digital money is accelerating in Korea and globally - central bank digital currency pilots, tokenized deposits, and real-world asset tokenization are moving toward production, stablecoins are gaining regulatory clarity. However, key challenges remain around interoperability, scalability and integration with existing financial systems.

In this panel, Julian Gordon, VP Asia Pacific & Middle East at LF Decentralized Trust, will host a discussion with leaders from Korea’s financial and technology ecosystem on moving from PoC to production-grade digital money infrastructure.

Panelists will share insights from initiatives including CBDC pilots, public-private collaboration, agentic AI integration, and developments in tokenized deposits and assets – exploring how open source decentralized technologies are improving settlement efficiency, programmability and interoperability across platforms and networks.

They will examine the role of open development, governance and standards in building secure, scalable systems. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on architecture, ecosystem coordination and policy shaping the next phase of digital money.

MCP Adoption and Why OSPO Skills Matter - Ana Jiménez Santamaría, Linux Foundation (TODO Group and PyTorch Foundation)

Tuesday August 11, 2026 15:55 - 16:25 KST

Grand Ballroom 2-3

As organizations explore the Model Context Protocol (MCP), many of the early conversations naturally happen around AI tooling, integrations, and experimentation. At the same time, MCP may also raise questions that are familiar to Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) and related teams or professionals with open source management experience, including governance, contribution strategy, standards engagement, and cross-functional coordination

This talk reflects on what organizations might gain by bringing those perspectives into MCP discussions earlier, as well as into their broader Agentic AI strategy. Rather than treating MCP only as a technical AI topic, the session will explore it as an area where open source process knowledge may also add value. Attendees will leave with ideas for how OSPOs can contribute to MCP adoption in practical, collaborative, and organization-aware ways

What Happens When Your AI Agent Meets OPA - Jyoti Bisht & Animesh Pathak, Harness

Tuesday August 11, 2026 16:35 - 17:05 KST

Orchid 2

Tom and Jerry has run for over 80 years. Every episode follows the same plot: Tom builds an elaborate trap, Jerry walks straight through it, the house is destroyed, and the owner blames Tom. Sound familiar?

This talk is structured exactly like a Tom and Jerry cartoon except Tom is OPA and Jerry is your AI agent. Jerry is not malicious. He just wants the cheese. He will find every gap in every policy, squeeze through every webhook, and retreat to his mouse hole (MCP) the moment Tom gets close. The audience will root for Jerry. Jerry is still the problem.

We walk through three episodes. Episode one: Jerry discovers he can call kubectl delete and Tom's first policy stops him — but not before he's renamed two deployments. Episode two: Jerry finds a namespace Tom forgot to cover and provisions a GPU node at $8/hour. Episode three: Jerry and Tom finally cooperate — the agent runs a legitimate right-sizing workflow, OPA approves every step, and the cluster is actually better for it.

You'll leave with an OPA policy library for agentic tool-call governance, Argo Workflows, and a threat model built from real agent misbehaviour.

Flexible Paging in Linux: Per-process Page Size - Dev Jain, Arm Ltd

Tuesday August 11, 2026 16:35 - 17:05 KST

Orchid 1

Applications often run faster on a 64K page size kernel than on 4K. This is because larger pages reduce TLB pressure and pagetable walk overhead, greatly improving memory access speed. But, sysadmins are hesitant to use a 16K/64K kernel as most applications have been historically tuned for 4K pages, and larger pages can increase memory waste due to internal fragmentation. This creates a tradeoff between performance and memory waste.

We propose a design that changes the game by separating the page size of the user and the kernel. Instead of enforcing a single system-wide page size, processes can operate under different page-size ABIs. A performance-critical app can use a 64K page-size ABI while still running on a 4K kernel. We achieve this by enabling Linux to provide memory in 64K chunks via 16 contiguous 4K pages, and by translating operations on the 4K page table into a 64K “native” page table that serves as the actual hardware page table.

At the same time, lightweight or memory-sensitive applications can continue using 4K pages to minimize memory waste. All of this happens on the same Linux kernel, without requiring separate builds of the kernel.

Computer Programming Is Dead; Long Live AI-First Programming - Stephen Chin, Neo4j & Cassandra Chin, Independent

Tuesday August 11, 2026 16:35 - 17:05 KST

Magnolia

Computer science graduates are facing an increasingly difficult job market. Recent data shows a sharp decline in employment outcomes for computer science majors, highlighting the mismatch between what universities teach and what employers now demand. The traditional model of teaching syntax first and hoping students eventually build something useful is no longer working. In this keynote we argue that programming as we knew it is effectively dead. The future lies in AI-First programming, built on the simple loop of try, learn, and grow. Learners try building code with AI assistance, learn by unpacking the generated code and asking AI for detailed explanations, and grow by testing and extending real applications. This loop not only builds confidence but also ensures we grow the generation of AI engineers that companies are desperate to hire.

From Frankenstein To Kamaji: Lessons in Building a Single CAPI Cluster Across Multiple Providers - Antonia von den Driesch, Giant Swarm

Tuesday August 11, 2026 17:15 - 17:45 KST

Orchid 2

At Giant Swarm we use Cluster API to provision and bootstrap our k8s clusters. With this setup, control plane (CP) and worker nodes must run on the same infrastructure which was never an issue so far...

However, in bare-metal environments, using 128-core servers for CP nodes is luxury. It's far more efficient to host them as virtual machines on a hypervisor while keeping workers on physical hardware. But can we get around CAPI's limitations?

We will walk through how we built Frankenstein's cluster by mixing vSphere for the CP and Proxmox for workers as a testing ground. While technically functional, this required "hacky engineering". We will share the hurdles we hit and the operational risks of this hybrid cluster setup.

Finally, we will demonstrate how we solved this challenge with a cleaner, upstream-friendly alternative. Kamaji lets us run the CP as pods in a management cluster. We achieved even better resource optimisation with full native community support and no custom hacks.

GitAIOps: A 4-Layer Architecture for Predictable AI-Assisted Operations - Hoon Jo, Megazone

Tuesday August 11, 2026 17:15 - 17:45 KST

Magnolia

AI agents have no memory between sessions. Every conversation starts from zero. Git becomes the only persistent memory an AI agent can rely on. GitAIOps is the pattern built on this principle: Git is the memory, and a 4-layer architecture defines what goes into that memory.

I applied this to a production migration: 15 Helm releases, Kafka ZooKeeper-to-KRaft, Redis-to-Valkey, full observability stack rebuild. The question: what does Git need to contain so any AI session picks up where the last one left off?

The answer is a 4-layer Git structure, each layer born from a production failure.
Layer 1: Human plans in Git (36 files, 23,854 lines). Too verbose for AI.
Layer 2: Distilled AI context in Git (6 files, 1,254 lines). 19:1 compression as a project state dashboard.
Layer 3: Command Guardrails in Git (117 files). Enforced ordering, no AI-generated commands.
Layer 4: Locked values in Git (30 files). Zero interpretation, reviewed like code.

Every AI action reads from Git, executes, and commits back. The loop is closed.

DEV: 2 weeks → 2 days. PROD: 1 week → 1 day. The session covers the architecture, each layer's failure, and real production artifacts.

Personalisation and Specialisation of Search With OpenSearch Agentic Search - Aswath Srinivasan, AWS

Tuesday August 11, 2026 17:15 - 17:45 KST

Grand Ballroom 2-3

Agentic search lets you ask in Natural Language and have OpenSearch plan and execute retrieval. The Query Planner re-writes Natural Language to OpenSearch DSL using SOTA LLMs. This works amazingly well but not without important limitations:

1/ The biggest factor is added latency for remote inference. eCommerce Search demands sub-100ms response times. Even the best results when slow lead to search abandonment.
2/ We'll demo overcoming latency by hosting SLMs locally within OpenSearch nodes using vLLM/Ollama. This is faster & cheaper, but SLMs suffer quality decline in query re-writes. We'll explore fine-tuning with domain-specific data—proving fine-tuned SLMs beat SOTA LLMs.
3/ Relevance remains generic even with Agentic Search. We'll show how to improve it using user and business contexts with hybrid search and reranking.

This hands-on talk covers:
1/ Search Latency with Remote Inference
2/ Locally hosting SLMs using vLLM/Ollama
3/ Agentic search with SLM Local Inference
4/ Improving relevance with user and business contexts
5/ Fine-tuning SLMs for domain-specific query re-writing via Axolotl/LLaMA-Factory
