Open source software has become a foundation of many of today's greatest statups and Fortune 500 companies alike. But open source is so much mire than software. From open collaboration to open governance to open innovation. Being open has strategic advantages no company should ignore.

Car hacking continues to be a concern and high profile software bugs are on the rise and in the news at an alarming frequency. The traditional way of developing automotive software is not working. OEMs are starting to adopt an open source approach to change the way software is built for cars.
Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) is a Linux Foundation Collaboration Project that is bringing together OEMs and suppliers to build a shared platform from the ground-up for in-vehicle infotainment. Dan Cauchy will provide an update on the latest AGL activities and what lies ahead in the future. He will also discuss how developing a common platform and building an ecosystem and supply chain that all use the same code base will transform the traditional automotive supply chain model, reduce fragmentation, improve time-to-market and enable companies to focus more on rapid innovation and new features.
The Women in Open Source group will discuss its focus and goals for 2017, as well as determine the activities the group would like to support and/or host throughout the year. For example, we’re planning a hosted call in the coming months on how to submit a winning proposal for speaking at an event. But there will many opportunities for us have an impact throughout this year, from speakership and article programs to activities around the Open Source Summit to Grace Hopper in October and more. We’re excited to hear your ideas.
Note: Thank you to everyone who attended our session yesterday. To continue the conversation, share ideas, get updates and learn about future Women in Open Source activities, please join the Slack channel and email list.
Open Source collaboration is a team sport, comprised of different players with a diverse set of backgrounds. While the end goal is often the same, there can be competing options and routes to achieving those goals. So how do open source projects encourage collaboration, navigate conflicts, focus on the greater good, and instill the trust necessary to work as a team? OPNFV director Heather Kirksey will sit down with OpenStack executive Director Jonathan Bryce and former OPNFV TSC Chair Chris Price to highlight key examples and lessons learned from managing two of the most unique open source projects in market today: OPNFV and OpenStack. OPNFV focuses its work upstream by leveraging existing code from a variety of leading open source projects across compute, storage, and networking in order to build a common NFV reference platform for the industry. In this fireside chat, Jonathan Bryce and Chris Price will explore OpenStack’s approach to working upstream with OPNFV and vice versa, as well as among their own communities to maintain the sportsmanship necessary to advance the industry.

The biggest issue in changing a monolith into microservices lies in changing the communication pattern. As the industry adopts microservices, the need for an open efficient framework which works well for developers is becoming essential. Enter gRPC. It is an open source project form Google which can make connecting, operating and debugging distributed systems as easy as making local function calls; the framework handles all the complexities normally associated with enforcing strict service contracts, data serialization, efficient network communication, authentications and access control, distributed tracing and so on. Come listen to why gRPC may be a strong foundation for smarter clients and servers in cloud native world than http/json !

For twenty-five years Dan Lyons was a magazine writer at the top of his profession -- until one Friday morning he received a phone call and learned that his job no longer existed. Then an idea hit: Dan had long reported on Silicon Valley and the tech explosion. Why not join it? HubSpot, a hot startup in Boston, offered Dan a pile of stock options and the chance to pursue his start-up dream. What could go wrong? In a word, everything. In this talk Dan tells the uproarious tale of his less-than-triumphant attempt to start a new career in his fifties -- and shares a few thoughts about what's gone wrong with the tech industry during the second dotcom bubble.
This presentation will take a look at historical IDC data showing the growth and adoption of Linux, and will use that data along with more recent research to illustrate how the much larger portfolio of open source software will likely progress and see widespread adoption going forward.
Diversity as survival strategy: we need to be deliberate about it, and create space for the coming wave of hackers and entrepreneurs
If the open source movement of 20 years ago was about “taking down big software”, it gave rise to “big Internet” and much of the hacker culture we still see today.
It’s important to think about who was able to participate in open source in this period: overwhelmingly white middle class men in their mid 20s with decent access to required technology and few other commitments. This had implications for the overall culture of the movement. To this day, diversity and inclusion are down.
We take two approaches to this problem: we need to be deliberate about community norms. You don’t have to concern yourself with the morality of diversity to think that managing communications to keep people engaged in your project is good business. A great example is the FOSS Heartbeat project. Secondly, we need to create spaces for the hackers of the future. They are not going to look like us, and they will reject rules imposed by us.
The power of asking for help and making space(or getting barriers out of the way) for those who have the energy and enthusiasm to help, that’s a power of Node.js and its community. That’s the story and fellowship we are working to protect as the ecosystem grows. Node.js is 7 years old now. Tracy Hinds will share the history of the Node.js community, its legacy, how flawed we are in our efforts to grow a high velocity OSS project, and how every facet of the project is stepping up in order to make these changes lessons for other OSS communities.
Open Source Software provides the basis for vibrant commerce driven by a range of business models. But whether you are building with, for or on open source software, the process of selecting, integrating, delivering and supporting OSS-based products and services can present myriad challenges. This session will focus on how organizations meet the challenges of productization and product life-cycles as they intersect with releases and dynamics of open source projects and communities.
Over the past few years, several community dashboards have been deployed for Linux Foundation projects, such as the one for OPNFV (https://opnfv.biterg.io/), or a new dashboard for LF projects (http://linuxfoundation.biterg.io), which will be presented in this talk for the first time. The talk will briefly explain these dashboards, how to use and interpret them, and will showcase some interesting facts raised by the data they provide.
In addition, inner source is becoming a potential solution to scale agile-based companies and an alternative way of introducing the basic concepts of open source communities idiosyncrasy into large software development teams. This second part of the talk will provide a view of how success is measured in open source communities as lessons learned from the open source world and how this can be applied when inner-sourcing.
In both cases, inner source and open source, the tooling and infrastructure is pretty similar, while goals are different. This talk will stress the point of understanding what and how to measure in those different contexts.
