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.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how software is developed and maintained. From code generation to automated reviews, AI tools are increasingly influencing how open source communities collaborate. This also introduces new challenges, including how to handle AI-generated contributions, maintain trust and code quality, and define governance for AI-assisted workflows.

In this session, we share experiences from the openEuler community in integrating AI into development processes, including AI-assisted code review, package maintenance, and community guidelines for AI usage, as well as work on frameworks such as Intelligence BooM.

We will discuss how these changes affect contributor workflows, what challenges maintainers face in practice, and what approaches have worked so far. The goal is to provide practical reference points for other open source communities exploring similar directions.

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

Keynote: Zephyr RTOS: 10 Years After Applying OSS Best Practices - Kate Stewart, Vice President of Dependable Embedded Systems, The Linux Foundation
Wednesday August 12, 2026 09:30 - 09:45 KST
Grand Ballroom 2-3
Zephyr initially set out to solve a problem that many embedded teams quietly struggled with: how to build dependable real-time systems without being locked into a single vendor, toolchain, or proprietary stack. The project introduced a new model built around portability, adoption of open source and security best practices, modern tooling, and a shared ecosystem of drivers and middleware.

From the start, there was the commitment to apply known best practices to its development. While Zephyr is a different code base, a lot of the lessons learned from developing the Linux Kernel were applied. The project has also focused on incorporating security best practices from the start which now enables it to make compliance easier for manufacturers looking to conform to the emerging Cybersecurity Resilence Act (CRA).

 Best practices have also enabled the project to work towards achieving formal safety certification for 61508 and 26262. The project has achieved 61508 concept approval at this point, as is working towards formal certification, using a combination of traditional V-Model analysis, and innovative techniques to keep up with the speed of open source development.

Building and Orchestrating Production-ready Agentic AI Systems - Kevin Dubois, IBM & Daniel Oh, Red Hat
Wednesday August 12, 2026 11:00 - 11:30 KST
Orchid 2
Agentic AI is all the hype right now, but how do you actually implement such a system for real enterprise, cloud based use cases?

The challenge for developers, architects and platform engineers alike lies in custom building agents, and even more so, orchestrating these agents to collaborate effectively towards a common goal. Unfortunately though, despite all the promises from vendors, a "one-size-fits-all" or “off-the-shelf” approach just doesn't work due to the complex nature of software. In addition, just like traditional apps, these agentic systems will likely need to be deployed, managed and observed in cloud environments.

In this session we'll explore:
* The spectrum of Agentic AI patterns
* A real world-ish implementation of a highly performant - open source - agentic system (with Java!)
* Deploying this agentic system to Kubernetes
* Other considerations such as observability and fault tolerance to get it all running smoothly in production.

Exploring Unikernel: An Empirical Comparison With Linux - Taekyung Kang & Kyungha Kim, Boeing
Wednesday August 12, 2026 11:00 - 11:30 KST
Magnolia
Unikernels are specialized operating systems designed for efficiency by including only the components needed by an application. By eliminating the traditional user–kernel separation and omitting general-purpose services such as background daemons and unused device drivers, this design reduces system complexity and overhead while providing a fundamentally different execution model from conventional Linux systems.
This study examines the structure of Unikraft-based unikernels from a library operating system perspective. It also presents an empirical comparison with Linux under controlled conditions. Both systems were deployed on the same Xen hypervisor and executed on a hardware platform, running the same application with a common subset of POSIX APIs. Execution latency was measured, and assembly-level analysis was performed to investigate potential reasons for the observed differences.
The results are presented as an example of combining performance measurement and low-level inspection when analyzing specialized operating systems. Similar approaches may be applicable to other specialized OS or unikernel contexts, depending on the application and execution environment.

When Semantic Search Breaks in your RAG systems: RAM Walls, Silent Failures, and the Architecture Decisions - Jeevan D C, Entain
Wednesday August 12, 2026 11:00 - 11:30 KST
Rose
The team shipped semantic search. It worked. Then came 100M vectors, a RAM bill that tripled overnight, filtered queries silently returning zero results, and a proposal to "just add Pinecone alongside Postgres."

This talk is for engineers who've already built the thing and now need to scale it without burning the budget or the team. We'll do the RAM math that should happen before any architecture decision, walk through quantization strategies that deliver 32x compression with 95%+ recall, show why filtered search is the #1 silent production failure, and lay out when DiskANN, hybrid BM25+vector search, or a specialized vector DB actually makes sense — and when it doesn't.

Live demos included. Decision matrices to take back to the team on Monday. No hype, just trade-offs in plain English.

EZIO: Predictable, Fast, Scalable BitTorrent-Based Bare Metal Provisioning - Date (Yu-Chiang) Huang, DozenCloud
Wednesday August 12, 2026 11:40 - 12:10 KST
Orchid 2
Deploying OS images to bare metal clusters is painful. Unicast scales linearly with node count. Multicast stalls if one node is slow. Past BitTorrent approaches either transfer entire raw partitions (wasting bandwidth) or require RAM buffering for image conversion (size limited).

EZIO's provisioning time depends on image size and bandwidth, not node count. It transfers only used filesystem blocks and writes directly to raw disk by calculating offsets on the fly. No RAM buffering, no image conversion, no size limit. Each node works independently. Broken nodes can rejoin after recovery. This enables deploying large HPC environments with pre-installed software and data. Clonezilla has integrated EZIO for production use.

Benchmarks: On HDD (50GB, 32 nodes), 11x faster than unicast, 50% faster than multicast. In the cluster with NVMe SSD and 10G network at Taiwan's National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC), 500 MB/s across 32 nodes. Lab tests reach 700 MB/s.

This talk covers EZIO's architecture, real-world benchmarks, and integration approach.

From CVEs To Compliance: Automating Embedded Linux Kernel Security - Kyungsik Lee, LG Electronics
Wednesday August 12, 2026 11:40 - 12:10 KST
Magnolia
Global security regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) have raised security requirements for embedded products. Open source components, especially the Linux kernel, must now support systematic vulnerability management, fast security patching, and long-term maintenance, making kernel security a key challenge.

This session discusses practical solutions for managing Linux kernel vulnerabilities in embedded products. It begins with an overview of recent kernel CVE trends and their impact on long-lived and customized kernels. The session then introduces a CI-based vulnerability response pipeline designed to minimize the time from CVE disclosure to patch deployment.

A key challenge is backporting security fixes to older or vendor-modified kernels, where patches often do not apply cleanly. To address this, the session presents an AI agent–based approach that assists developers by analyzing CVE data, upstream patches, and kernel context to suggest candidate backports.

By adopting an AI-assisted vulnerability response workflow, teams can reduce response time and prepare for compliance with evolving global security regulations.

Simplifying AI for Edge Compute with HAMi - Reza Jelveh, Dynamia
Wednesday August 12, 2026 11:40 - 12:10 KST
Rose
Open-source agents like Hermes and OpenClaw can reason and use tools, but edge deployment is still hard - not the model, the compute underneath: limited memory, tight power budgets, no ops team. Democratizing agentic AI means fixing the compute layer. This deep dive covers GPU and memory slicing at the edge: carving one device’s unified memory so multiple agents run concurrently on hardware as small as an NVIDIA Jetson, and time-sharing when demand exceeds memory.

We compare Jetson-class GPUs with NPUs from Axelera and DeepX - higher performance per watt - and what it takes to make them schedulable. HAMi, the CNCF Incubation project for hardware-agnostic GPU virtualization, is that layer: one scheduling plane across heterogeneous accelerators, fine-grained memory slicing, open source. A blueprint for edge AI without a cloud budget.

From Static Rules To Reasoning Platforms: Scaling Intelligent Canary Delivery in 2026 - Daniel Oh, Red Hat
Wednesday August 12, 2026 13:35 - 14:05 KST
Orchid 2
As organizations scale their Kubernetes footprint, the "Day 2" reality of GitOps becomes clear: static thresholds are brittle. Standard Canary rollouts rely on fixed Prometheus queries (e.g., Error Rate < 1%), but these rules lack the context to distinguish between a minor transient blip and a systemic failure. For Platform Engineers, this results in "Alert Fatigue" and manual "promotion" gates that slow down the delivery pipeline.
In 2026, we are moving from Static Automation to Reasoning Platforms.
This session explores how to evolve your delivery infrastructure into an intelligent system that doesn't just follow rules, but reasons through data. We will demonstrate how to wrap ArgoCD Rollouts with an Agentic Reasoning Layer capable of cross-referencing metrics, logs, and distributed traces to make autonomous "Go/No-Go" decisions.

We will trigger a Canary deployment that passes basic health checks but introduces a "silent failure" (e.g., a cache hit-rate drop causing downstream latency). You will see the Reasoning Platform detect the anomaly, pause the rollout, "investigate" the root cause, and present a natural-language justification for the automated rollback.

From Closed To Collaborative: Perspectives and Lessons From Qualcomm’s Open Development Experience - Craig Northway, Qualcomm Technologies Inc
Wednesday August 12, 2026 13:35 - 14:05 KST
Magnolia
For more than 15 years, Qualcomm’s been actively involved in a range of Open Source ecosystems. Until recently, some parts of our development were handled behind closed doors, with contributions coming a bit later and enablement being somewhat limited. We tried various projects and partnerships to push things upstream sooner, but it wasn’t until lately that we truly made a complete shift.

Over the past 18 months, we’ve totally revisited our approach—moving an entire Linux product development ecosystem, with hundreds of contributors, from a private downstream setup to a full-blown Open Development model. This wasn’t just a surface change: it meant overhauling how our engineers work, syncing up our internal systems with open practices, and fundamentally changing the way our developers connect and collaborate.

In this session, we’ll share what made this transition work for us—including how we managed to weave our internal systems into Open Source workflows, encouraged developers to embrace new ways of thinking, and built scalable processes that can handle all sorts of Linux ecosystems and distributions.

Kernel Live Patching: Mitigating CVEs With Zero Downtime - Shung-Hsi Yu, SUSE
Wednesday August 12, 2026 13:35 - 14:05 KST
Orchid 1
Service operators often face a constant friction: maintaining high Service Level Indicators (SLIs) versus addressing immediate security vulnerabilities. While userspace updates cause minimal disruption, mitigating Linux kernel vulnerabilities traditionally mandates a full system reboot, forcing administrators into the dilemma of choosing between proactive security practices and continuous uptime.

This session explores the workings of Linux kernel live patching, details how a livepatch kernel module is built, examines the internal mechanisms that power the technology (e.g., ftrace), and provides a practical overview of the current ecosystem so administrators can start using live patches immediately.

Clouds on Clouds: OpenStack and Kubernetes With Cloud-Barista - Seokho Son, ETRI
Wednesday August 12, 2026 14:15 - 14:45 KST
Orchid 2
Can you build OpenStack and Kubernetes clusters anywhere, across multiple clouds, and still understand how network connectivity works?

This session explores that question through a scenario using Cloud-Barista, an open-source multi-cloud orchestrator.

Instead of separate project overviews, this talk connects Cloud-Barista, OpenStack, and Kubernetes as infrastructure layers. Cloud-Barista provisions VMs on public clouds, then OpenStack is deployed on them. The OpenStack-based cloud is registered back into Cloud-Barista to create VMs and host a web service.

Will that service be reachable from Internet? If not, why? What makes it complex? These questions guide our explanation of network paths and reachability. We will apply the same lens to Kubernetes on multi-cloud VMs.

The focus is not just automation, but how connectivity works: public/private IPs, bastion access, cluster nodes, and how users reach workloads.

Beginners curious about these topics will gain practical insight into open-source infrastructure stacks.

This is not another cluster deployment talk. It is an experimental journey across open-source cloud layers, from multi-cloud IaaS to OpenStack and Kubernetes.

Finding Vulnerabilities in IoT Embedded Devices Using Linux OS and Open Source Tools - Dr. Nkuba Kayembe Carlos, Korea University
Wednesday August 12, 2026 14:15 - 14:45 KST
Magnolia
Smart home ecosystems are increasingly powered by embedded Linux platforms, yet the security of their underlying firmware, memory management, and wireless communication stacks remains dangerously underexamined. This talk presents a systematic approach to vulnerability discovery in IoT embedded Z-Wave smart home devices using freely available Linux OS tools and developed open source frameworks — bridging the gap between theoretical security research and hands-on embedded testing.

Drawing directly from original research that resulted in 18 CVEs assigned by U.S. CERT and U.S. MITRE, and from a live-demonstration talk presented at TyphoonCon 2025 in Seoul, the speaker will walk attendees through a structured open source testing methodology:

• Fuzzing embedded protocol stacks to uncover memory-corruption vulnerabilities
• Live exploitation: manipulating controller internal memory to delete or modify secured slave device properties
• Triggering Denial-of-Service (DoS) conditions that disable an entire smart home network
• Coordinated disclosure and remediation work with SiLabs and the Z-Wave Alliance

How To Make AI-Assisted OSS Contributions Review-Ready - Jaewoo Choi, Hyundai Autoever
Wednesday August 12, 2026 14:15 - 14:45 KST
Rose
AI coding tools can generate patches quickly, but maintainers still cannot merge a PR on generated code alone. They need evidence, what was reproduced, what changed, how it was validated, and whether the contributor actually reduced review work instead of shifting it downstream.

In this session, I draw on recurring patterns from reviewing and maintaining Argo CD contributions to show why many AI-assisted PRs stall and what makes others move quickly. I present a simple four-stage framework for review-ready OSS contributions, Set up the environment, validate the problem before changing code, harden the fix with tests and checks, and submit a PR with enough context and proof for efficient review. Attendees will leave with practical guidance they can use immediately to improve contribution quality and reduce maintainer burden.

Connecting the Dots With Context Graphs - Stephen Chin, Neo4j
Wednesday August 12, 2026 14:55 - 15:25 KST
Orchid 2
AI systems need more than intelligence; they need context that persists. Without it, even strong models can misinterpret information, lose decision rationale, or repeat the same mistakes. Context Graphs have emerged as a practical pattern for agentic AI: a living graph that captures not only what was retrieved or known, but how context led to actions through tool calls, constraints, policies, and outcomes, stitched across entities and time so precedent becomes searchable.

This talk explores context engineering as the discipline of designing that context layer, and shows how context graphs complement retrieval by enabling multi-hop, structured context assembly (building on GraphRAG-style hierarchical summaries) while improving explainability and evaluation. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how to build context pipelines that combine contextual retrieval with persistent memory and provenance, and why context graphs are becoming central to trustworthy, enterprise-ready AI systems.

Institutional blockchain systems need collective defense, yet the data behind the vulnerabilities they discover cannot leave the institution. The OpenReagent project was launched to break that paradox through an open standard built on sharing signatures, not source. A year in, the concept has become a working technical foundation, with early benchmark evidence and first conversations with institutions testing real fit. This session shares what that foundation now enables, and what it doesn't yet, and issues a direct call to researchers ready to deepen the technical frontier, and to institutions ready to join the initiative as early partners.

Building Reliable AI Agents: An Open Source Approach To Evaluation and Observability - Sho Tanaka, Snowflake
Wednesday August 12, 2026 15:55 - 16:25 KST
Rose
Building AI agents is easier than ever with open source tools, but ensuring their reliability in production remains a major challenge. Unlike traditional software, AI agents are non-deterministic, making simple pass/fail testing insufficient.

This talk introduces a practical approach to evaluation and observability for AI agents, combining open source tools such as TruLens with agent architectures inspired by AgentGPT.

We will demonstrate how to instrument agent workflows, capture execution traces, and implement evaluation metrics such as faithfulness, tool selection accuracy, and answer relevancy. Attendees will also see how to visualize agent behavior and identify failure points across retrieval, reasoning, and generation layers using a lightweight dashboard.

Finally, we show how to build a feedback loop to iteratively improve agent performance, and share a reference implementation (GitHub) that can be reused with different agent frameworks.

Case Studies of Existing Use of Linux in Safety-critical Domains - Nikita Verma, Individual & Harshita Varma, Independent
Wednesday August 12, 2026 15:55 - 16:25 KST
Magnolia
The automotive transition to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) relies on mixed-criticality architectures, consolidating open-source infotainment (Automotive Grade Linux) alongside safety-critical Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS). This virtualization boundary—often KVM/Xen—is assumed to be a secure airgap. However, guest-to-host communication requires hardware abstraction, primarily via the VirtIO standard.

This 40-minute session conducts a hardcore technical teardown of the virtqueue shared-memory mechanism, exposing how legacy C-based VirtIO backends (vhost-net) introduce critical vulnerabilities into the automotive supply chain.

We will dissect a hypervisor escape utilizing custom fuzzing. By crafting malformed descriptor chains to bypass frontend validation, a compromised guest can force the host's backend into out-of-bounds memory corruption, effectively bridging the airgap into the control plane.

Finally, we will architect the open-source defense: migrating to memory-safe rust-vmm virtualization components to mathematically eliminate buffer overflows, and deploying zero-overhead eBPF probes for kernel-level I/O anomaly detection.

Live Demo: Event-Driven Terraform Drift Detection With Falco - Keita Higaki, Sysdig,Inc
Wednesday August 12, 2026 16:35 - 17:05 KST
Orchid 2
Terraform is widely used to manage infrastructure as code, but traditional drift detection relies on periodic scans or manual checks such as terraform plan. This approach often fails to detect real-time changes, manual modifications, or unauthorized actions.

In this technical feature demonstration, we present an open source approach to drift detection using an event-driven model powered by Falco.

We will demonstrate how:

infrastructure is provisioned using Terraform
manual or out-of-band changes introduce drift
Falco detects these changes in real time via event streams
an open source tool analyzes and surfaces these events as actionable drift signals

Unlike traditional drift detection tools, this approach enables near real-time detection, user attribution, and continuous visibility into infrastructure changes.

This session introduces the concept of “event-driven runtime drift” and shows how it complements Terraform-based workflows using open source technologies.

The demo is based on a publicly available open source project, allowing attendees to reproduce the setup and apply it to their own environments.

Reboot Without Rebooting: Updating Linux Userspace at the Speed of a Service Restart - Nandakumar Raghavan & Prasanna Kumar T S M, Microsoft
Wednesday August 12, 2026 16:35 - 17:05 KST
Orchid 1
What if you could replace your entire OS userspace — binaries, configs, services, even init itself — without ever stopping the kernel? No firmware POST, no hardware re-init, no multi-minute downtime. Just a clean userspace restart in seconds.

That's what soft-reboot (systemctl soft-reboot), implemented in systemd, delivers: a primitive that tears down all of userspace, pivots into a fresh root filesystem, and re-launches PID 1 — while the running kernel stays untouched.

This talk unpacks how soft-reboot works under the hood, why it matters for modern OS update workflows, and how it compares to a traditional reboot and kexec. We'll walk through real production use cases: zero-downtime OS updates, staged fleet rollouts, and rapid recovery from a wedged userspace — without paying the cost of a full boot cycle.

Attendees will leave with a clear mental model of soft-reboot internals, practical guidance on when to choose it over a full reboot or kexec, and concrete patterns for building soft-reboot-aware update pipelines.

If you've ever wished you could ship an OS update as fast as restarting a service, this talk is for you.

Eval-Driven Development: Mastering Agentic Tracing and Expert-Aligned Judges With MLflow - Vincent Caldeira, Red Hat
Wednesday August 12, 2026 16:35 - 17:05 KST
Rose
Building AI agents is easy, but ensuring their reliability is hard. Because agents operate in open-ended, non-deterministic environments, traditional Test-Driven Development (TDD) falls short. The solution is Eval-Driven Development (EDD), a paradigm that embeds continuous evaluation throughout the agent lifecycle.

This talk explores how to operationalize EDD. First, we examine the critical role of observability. Evaluating just a final output is insufficient for multi-step workflows. We show how OpenTelemetry (OTel) compatible tracing exposes internal reasoning and tool usage for granular debugging.

Next, we tackle scaling evaluation via LLM-as-a-Judge. Since uncalibrated judges often miss domain-specific nuances, we demonstrate aligning custom judges with human experts. Using open-source MLflow, attendees will learn to capture traces, collect expert feedback, and use alignment optimizers to create expert-aligned evaluators.

Using AI To Bridge the Gap Between Safety Standards and Open Source Development - Kate Stewart, The Linux Foundation
Wednesday August 12, 2026 16:35 - 17:05 KST
Magnolia
Popular open source operating systems like the Linux Kernel and Zephyr RTOS accept up to 9 commits per hour. Safety standards, like 61508, 26262, and others were developed without this rate of change in mind. Safety standards also expect the requirements to be explicit, which is not part of OS development processes. By using AI tools, we're able to accelerate the analysis of OS code to derive the requirements and traceability to tests. By storing this info in tools that can import and export System Package Data eXchange (SPDX) 3.0+, we're able to capture the requirements in a way that can be leveraged for wider system analysis necessary for safety. Associating integrity methods with the requirements and code snippets, also enables monitoring. Combining requirements traceability with precise build SBOM metadata, gives us a framework to keep a component compliant to a safety profile after a security fix.

This talk will provide a view on the latest experiments occurring with the Linux Kernel in the ELISA project, as well as in the Zephyr Safety Working group, and SPDX Functional Safety working group to extend SPDX to meet the needs of establishing these frameworks.
