The Linux Foundation Announces 2018 Events Schedule
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21, 2017 -- The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced its 2018 events schedule. Linux Foundation events are where the creators, maintainers and practitioners of the world's most important open source projects meet. Linux Foundation events in 2017 attracted over 25,000 developers, sysadmins, architects, community thought leaders, business executives and other industry professionals from more than 5,000 organizations across 85 countries.
The Linux Foundation’s 2018 events will gather 30,000 open source influencers to learn about new trends in open source and share knowledge of best practices across projects dealing with operating systems, cloud applications, containers, IoT, networking, data processing, security, storage, AI, software architecture, edge computing and more. There are also events looking at the business side of open source, gathering business and technical leaders to learn about compliance, governance, building an open source office and other areas.
“It is essential in open source that individuals working on a project have the opportunity to meet and collaborate in person, and Linux Foundation events provide a neutral place for them to do that,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. “In addition, these events gather leading experts on a wide variety of open source technologies in the same place, enabling them to share ideas and best practices not only within, but across projects. These events truly drive innovation and creativity throughout the community.”
New to Linux Foundation events in 2018 is the expansion of Open Networking Summit (ONS) to Europe. ONS brings together business and technical leaders across enterprise, cloud and service providers to share learnings, highlight innovation and discuss the future of open networking and orchestration. For the first time since its founding seven years ago, ONS will offer two conferences in a single year, with the second taking place in Europe.
