Linux Foundation Europe invites you to submit session proposals for the inaugural Open Source Policy & Ecosystem Forum, taking place on 8 June 2026 in Brussels.
This forum is designed as a high-trust, single-track environment (under Chatham House Rule) where the builders of global open source projects meet the architects of European policy. We are looking for sessions that move beyond high-level theory into practical, actionable insights that will support data-driven policymaking.
What we are looking for: We are seeking technical leads, policy experts, and industry pioneers to present on:
Enabling the Sovereign Stack: Case studies on building European infrastructure using global open source components.
Regulation in Production: Real-world impact of the CRA, AI Act, NIS2, and other key European policies on project maintenance and commercialization.
Strengthening European open source industry and commercial open source: topics related to SME and industry usage of open source and success stories of collaboration (no product pitches)
From European to Global: Ideas for increasing European participation, influence, and leadership of open source project communities across the globe.
