    Linux Foundation Newsletter: November 2025

    The Linux Foundation | 19 November 2025

    Welcome to the November 2025 edition of the Linux Foundation Newsletter.

    As we move toward year‑end, open source activity at the Linux Foundation (LF) remains at full throttle. In the past month, we welcomed major new projects, strengthened our AI‑and‑infrastructure portfolio, and reinforced our global collaboration model across security, research, and innovation. A huge thank you to all contributors, maintainers, members and staff who keep this momentum going!

    Here are more of this month’s highlights:

    LF Europe: Community Updates

    • Open Is Sovereign: Why Europe’s Digital Future Must Be Built on Global Open Source Ecosystems

      EU Open Blog Image

      • Across Europe, “digital sovereignty” has become a defining political and economic priority. The concern is real: in an age where code defines competitiveness, no nation or region can outsource its technological destiny. Yet too often, the debate around sovereignty is framed as a binary choice between global collaboration and regional control, essentially between openness and protectionism. That’s a false choice. True sovereignty is not about isolation; it’s about mastery of critical resources based on a full understanding of how modern software is built. And for the digital realm, the surest path to mastery runs through open source. 

        So, the question is – how? Read Gabriele Columbro’s blog to see why open source is the foundation of Europe’s digital autonomy.
    • LF Europe Member Summit 2025 - Ghent, Belgium | The Linux Foundation Europe Member Summit 2025 took place on 28 October in Ghent, gathering members, policymakers, and industry leaders to shape the future of Europe’s open source strategy.
    • LF Europe Roadshow 2025 - Ghent, Belgium | The LF Europe Roadshow on 29 October in Ghent continued the week’s focus on open collaboration and digital sovereignty, bringing together developers, policymakers, and open source leaders from across Europe.
      • Two parallel tracks — Cybersecurity & the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Open Collaboration & Digital Sovereignty explored how open source communities are shaping a secure and sustainable digital future.
        LF Europe Roadshow
        Track attendees @ LF Europe Roadshow 2025 - Ghent, Belgium
      • Highlights included Greg Kroah-Hartman’s keynote on the CRA’s impact for developers, a CRA Working Session with experts from Arm, Samsung, and the Confidential Computing Consortium, and Christopher “CRob” Robinson’s talk on global cybersecurity strategy.
      • The European Open Source track featured updates from NeoNephos, Sylva, RISC-V, OpenInfra, and PowSyBl, alongside discussions on funding open source and digital sovereignty with MEP Alexandra Geese, Jutta Horstmann, and Gabriele Columbro.
      • The event highlighted how open source communities and policymakers can collaborate to turn regulation into an enabler for innovation building a stronger, more sovereign digital Europe.
    • Sylva Project Turns 3 | This November marks three years since the launch of Project Sylva, the first project hosted at Linux Foundation Europe. Born from a shared vision to reduce fragmentation in telco cloud infrastructure and align with Europe’s values of privacy, security, and sustainability, Sylva has grown into a key force in open collaboration across the telecom industry.
      • Over the past three years, the community has delivered remarkable results:
        • Production-grade stack live across 10 countries
        • 35 contributing companies and 16 financial sponsors
        • 20 validated network functions on the Sylva stack
        • Pioneering work in supply chain security and the industry’s first Green Dashboard measuring CO₂ per CNF
      • Looking ahead, Sylva is expanding its focus to Edge Federation, AI, Open RAN, and 6G readiness, while deepening its commitment to digital sovereignty and regulatory compliance under NIS2 and CRA.
      • Congratulations to the entire Sylva community and its leadership for shaping the future of Europe’s telco cloud through open collaboration and innovation. Learn more.
    • Case Study | PowSyBl - A Community-Led Open Source Project for European Grid Sovereignty
      • PowSyBl (Power System Blocks) is an open source library for power system modeling, visualization, and simulation. It enables Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs), and other stakeholders to build advanced, customizable grid analysis tools that support Europe’s energy transition.
      • Originally developed by RTE and open sourced under LF Energy in 2019, PowSyBl entered its next phase of growth in 2025 by joining Linux Foundation Europe. This move provides the project with a neutral and trusted home that strengthens Europe’s commitment to digital sovereignty, shared governance, and public–private collaboration.
      • As Gabriele Columbro, General Manager of Linux Foundation Europe & Executive Director of FINOS noted: “PowSyBl reflects how open source can serve as a strategic lever for Europe's digital sovereignty. By joining LF Europe, the project is reinforcing a collective commitment to building digital public goods that underpin our energy infrastructure. This is not just about collaboration – it’s about shaping a future where Europe leads in openness, resilience and technological autonomy.”
        Case Study_ PowSyBl A Community-Led Open Source Project for European Grid Sovereignty
      • By being hosted under LF Europe, PowSyBl gains greater visibility within EU research and policy frameworks, support for regulatory compliance, and access to broader open source communities working on critical digital infrastructure. The result is a growing, distributed ecosystem where Europe’s grid operators and innovators co-develop open, secure, and sovereign technologies for the energy future.

    P4

    • Recent News
      • From Research Labs to Government Networks: The Journey of P4TG. Check out this blog to learn about P4TG, a hardware-accelerated traffic generator and analyzer implemented directly in the data plane of Intel® Tofino™ programmable switches. It combines the flexibility of P4 with the performance of switching ASICs to provide line-rate traffic generation and precise measurement capabilities at terabit speeds. Alongside the data-plane implementation, P4TG includes a Rust-based control plane, a REST API for automated testing workflows, and a web-based frontend for convenient configuration and live visualization, making it suitable for both hands-on lab work and fully scripted test pipelines. 
    • Upcoming Events
      • P4 Developer Days - AR/CG Network Traffic Classification in Programmable Dataplane | November 12 | 8:00am Pacific
        • In this presentation, we explore the importance of classifying AR/CG traffic directly within the network device to enable low-latency, intelligent forwarding. We outline the end-to-end process of feature extraction and deployment within a programmable data plane, focusing on how key traffic features are computed and mirrored in P4-enabled switches.
      • P4 Developer Days - Implementation of Periodic Behavior with P4: Challenges and Solutions on Intel Tofino with Application in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) | November 19 | 8:00am Pacific
        • Implementing periodic time behavior in hardware data planes is challenging due to limited arithmetic capabilities such as the lack of modulo operations, restricted timestamp precision, and resource constraints. This talk presents a general mechanism for implementing periodic time logic in P4, i.e., enabling data plane behavior that repeats in fixed time intervals, applicable to a broad range of time-aware applications.
      • P4 Developer Days - QuIP: A P4 Quantum Internet Protocol Prototyping Framework | December 3 | 8:00am Pacific
        • Quantum entanglement is so fundamentally different from a network packet that several quantum network stacks have been proposed; one of which has even been experimentally demonstrated. Several simulators have also been developed to make up for limited hardware availability, and which facilitate the design and evaluation of quantum network protocols. However, the lack of shared tooling and community-agreed node architectures has resulted in protocol implementations that are tightly coupled to their simulators. Besides limiting their reusability between different simulators, it also makes building upon prior results and simulations difficult. To address this problem, we have developed QuIP: a P4-based Quantum Internet Protocol prototyping framework for quantum network protocol design.
