LinuxCon Europe + CloudOpen Europe

Session Descritpion Coming Soon

How will the Linux and Open Source further technology for the next 20 years. 

It’s been over twenty years since Linux birth and it grown up to become the most successful collaborative endeavor of all time. Linus’ little project now cumulatively powers more servers, mobile phones and other embedded systems than any other operating system. Linux runs our economy and touches the lives of literally every single human being on the planet in one way, shape or form. Time Magazine named Linux Torvalds the 17th most influential man of the century 20th century. No longer do we have to defend the viability of Linux it’s been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. So where do we go from here? We’ll explore how the Linux and open source community can build upon their success for the betterment of technology and the world around them.

Join Chris as he discusses how Twitter started on a monolithic architecture and eventually moved to a service oriented one solely relying on open source software along the way.

The next generation of enterprise-class cloud platforms are inspiring confidence through innovative application development models, open infrastructures, DevOps, and attractive deployment options.  However, platforms are also needed that provide extreme data security, facilitate collaboration across the ecosystem, and real time multi point data access. Audience will hear about how the next generation of cloud platforms can be a catalyst for service model transformation and business innovation.    

Picking up where Mac Devine's keynote leaves off this panel will drill down on the key requirements of next generation cloud platforms and how these are already starting to radically alter our view of the cloud computing landscape.

The mission of Samsung’s Advanced Software Platform Lab’s in Silicon Valley is to create differentiating software that will drive the evolution of future platforms. As such it stands at the cross-road of open source, industry and academic research, and symbolizes Samsung’s new and open way to engage in research activities.

How does one find the sweet spot across industry, open source and academic R&D? What are the challenges? What are the benefits for the community? Where does the opportunity lie and how to materialize it?

In this talk, Yannick Pellet (VP, Advanced Software Platform Lab) will provide a discussion on the concrete steps that were taken into this direction with few examples of how this collaboration model is working out.

For this panel we are bringing together core and embedded maintainers to discuss the state of the Linux kernel.

Linux creator Linus Torvalds will take the stage with Intel’s Chief Linux and Open Source Technologies Dirk Hohndel to discuss the latest technical advancements in the kernel.

When Internet became commonplace in the mid-1990s, the decision makers ignored it. They didn't see it as important or in any way relevant to them. As a direct result, global freedom flourished in the unrestricted online world. Suddenly people all over the world had in their reach something truly and really global. And suddenly, people weren't just consuming content; they were creating content for others to see. But eventually politicians and leaders realized just how important internet is. And they realized how useful internet was for other purposes - especially for the purposes of doing surveillance on citizens. The two arguably most important inventions of our generation - the internet and the mobile phones - changed the world. However, they both turned out to be perfect tools for the surveillance state. And in a surveillance state, everybody is assumed guilty. What does this mean to us today? And is there anything we can do about it?
