20 Hobbies in 20 Minutes
If you have ever wondered what kind of hobby might be suited for you, this session could solve your problem!
Building On Success: What’s the Future of Open Source?
The term “open source” was coined more than a quarter century ago, and we’ve come a long way together. No longer the domain of hobby projects and now the foundation of nearly every piece of software critical to our everyday lives, software in general–which nearly ubiquitously includes open source components–is at an inflection point. With increasing regulation around the world built in the wake of high-profile vulnerabilities, growing calls for sustainability of the maintainer ecosystem, and the never-ending march of new technologies, what’s next for open source? The things that worked for the first 25 years are not what will get us through the next 25. Let’s look at that past and see where we should be thinking about heading in the future.
United Nations Open Source Principles Birds of a Feather
A birds of the feather session that will cover how community members can work with and on the UN Open Source Principles.
Insights from OSPOs for Good
In July, the United Nations hosted the second OSPOs for Good symposium to bring together open source thought leaders to discuss using OSPOs as a global network for helping reach the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Discussions touched on open source and AI, OSPOs in government and networked cities, software security, and the impact open source can have on research and science. This panel brings together several of the speakers from the event (David Nalley, president, Apache Software Foundation; Omkhar Arasaratnam
general manager, Open Source Security Foundation; and Arun Gupta, vice president and general manager for Open Ecosystem, Intel) to talk about their perspectives and the next steps we can take together to use the power of the open source ecosystem for good.
Open Source and a Secure Software Supply Chain
Software supply chain attacks are top of mind for everyone, with Gartner predicting that 45% of organizations will have experienced one in the next three years. We’re also seeing the number of such attacks targeting open source software increase dramatically. What have we, the global open source community, learned so far about responding to these vulnerabilities, and where should we go from here? Get an overview of the current state of the supply chain security landscape, what the open source ecosystem is doing to meet these challenges, what it might mean for you, and how you can be involved.
