A Huge ‘Thank You’ to This Year’s Embedded Open Source Summit Program Committee

In case you missed it, we announced the full schedule for Embedded Open Source Summit (EOSS) taking place June 27-30, 2023 in Prague, Czech Republic, as well as virtually. Some of the most well known conferences for embedded technology will now host their community gatherings at EOSS, a new umbrella event created to provide a forum for discussion, collaboration and education among open source embedded projects and developer communities. 

To ensure Linux Foundation events like EOSS adequately showcase recent developments and technology innovations, a Program Committee is created to spearhead the review and selection of all content within the event. It takes a lot of time, thoughtfulness and hard work to put together a diverse, well rounded program like EOSS - which consists of more than 175 sessions and is composed of six micro conferences: Automotive Linux Summit Europe, Embedded IoT Summit, Embedded Linux Conference, LF Energy Embedded Summit, Safety-Critical Software Summit, and Zephyr® Project Developer Summit. That equates to a jam-packed schedule of content for event attendees. 

Totaling 37 members within the open source and embedded technology ecosystems, the EOSS Program Committee reviewed nearly 400 submissions. This year’s event would not be possible without each and every one of you:

We also wanted to hear directly from a few of these folks so they could tell us, in their own words, what makes them excited about EOSS this year. Here’s what they had to say: 

"It's fascinating to see the speed of innovation in embedded technologies. It affects all industries, but this year we are seeing more interest in projects related to energy transition and decarbonization. This is why this event is a must for our ecosystem and for the industry. It is the ideal place to learn about these new developments and to meet all the players and exchange with them.”  - Christophe Villemer, Directeur Général, France, Savoir-faire Linux

“Security and testing are two of the themes that stick out above all of the amazing session topics. Across embedded systems, whether we’re looking at containerized workloads or workloads that are actual physical containers, a strong focus on testability and security is what will help us innovate safely. And in a world where everything is a computer - often in difficult to monitor and maintain situations - I am excited to see that these themes have taken root with the speakers and their sessions.” - Kerim Satirli, Senior Developer Advocate, HashiCorp

“I'm excited to attend EOSS because of the wide variety of topics and the possibility to see future trends. This year’s submissions highlighted that two topics - security and real-time - are gaining popularity. I think this is likely because of the regulations that came or are coming into place, forcing companies to look at it seriously. Real-time also sees an advancement of PREEMPT_RT merged into the mainline kernel, which should increase its adoption. We also have aerospace as a topic this year!”  - Marta Rybczynska, Founder, Syslinbit
