 Good morning everyone. I've walked on stage without the clicker here. Did someone in a... voila. There we go. Most important thing. Welcome everybody. I see we've got a bunch of folks in the crowd. I think probably most of you are from Europe given that all the Americans are still sleeping in their hotel rooms right now. I strongly suspect. All right. There's a few of you here who are saying no, no, no. I'm up. I'm up. But welcome to our open source summit Europe. It's nice to be back in Europe seeing all of you. COVID has definitely given us a long break from seeing each other in person. How many people here... this is your first event since sort of pre-COVID. How many of you? Wow. Quite a lot. All right. Wow. That is amazing. Well, it is really, really good to be back face to face. And as you all know, business travel has gotten more expensive and much worse. So I really doubly appreciate all of you coming here today. I want to first start out by thanking our sponsors. In particular, I want to thank our diamond sponsors. Amazon Web Services is one of our first time sponsors. Google and also IBM. Without their support, we couldn't do these kind of events and we're really grateful for it. In addition, I want to thank our platinum sponsors, Erickson, Huawei, Intel and Open Oiler. Again, we would not be here without all the support of these sponsors. Finally, I also want to thank our program committee chairs who did an amazing job reviewing content for all 13 microconferences here at Open Source Summit. One of the things that's really fun about these events is it's sort of a bunch of communities within a bigger community. And as I've gone around and visited the different microconferences, it's amazing how deeply people are engaged in all of these communities and still come together in the evening for our social events and have a ton of fun. So it's really gratifying to see that that is working. And I again want to thank those program chairs. A few more announcements. Our sponsor showcase is in the forum on the ground level. Please stop by and check it out. There are coffee breaks and ask experts sessions as well throughout the venue. The showcase opens daily at morning breaks and is open during lunch as well. You can find lunch concessions in the back of the room if you'd like to stay on site during lunch hour or you can go off and find lunch on your own. The Wi-Fi information is on your conference badge schedule there. So see if the Wi-Fi will actually work for you. I think it's been pretty consistent this week. So check that out. And then don't miss the onsite attendee reception and booth crawl this evening in the forum which starts after the close of breakouts this evening. Finally, I want to mention that we have an event code of conduct that everyone has agreed to abide to. You can find it both on our event website, but in short, everyone should be feeling welcome and included in this event. Please treat everyone professionally and with respect. And if you have any concerns at all, we have staff all over the building just please go and approach either the info desk on the ground level or the event team anywhere throughout the venue and they will certainly assist you. So again, welcome back everyone after a long break in seeing each other in person. Today we have three big announcements from the Linux Foundation that I'm super excited to show all of you. One of them, Mark Zuckerberg, broke the news on Monday on Facebook ahead of this event, but we'll talk a little bit more about that in a few minutes. But first, I just want to kind of look at where we've been over the last couple of years here during COVID and how excited I am to see each of you again here in person. You know, we have been super busy as we were all staying at home at the Linux Foundation working away. And at the beginning of the pandemic, we weren't sure what was going to happen. You know, our events team did this amazing job of, you know, dealing with winding down all of the different event commitments that we had, you know, helping renegotiate hotel venues, conference contracts and so forth. And after we kind of got through the storm of that initial period during COVID, we hunkered down and really went to work as an organization and as part of the broader open source community. And what I'm really happy to see and report is that the projects at the Linux Foundation are really having a huge impact in a massive variety of ways. You know, we're a nonprofit and open source is something that's a freely available public good that anybody can use for whatever they want to do. And when you're that kind of an organization, you don't really measure your success by the number of members you have or your financial position. Members are still important. Having money to be able to facilitate this kind of co development is also important, but the most important measure is impact. And if you go around today and talk with folks in the micro conferences that are going on or go to sessions about many of the Linux Foundation projects that are out there, you'll realize that these projects are having real meaningful impact across the world. You know, not just in really impactful horizontal technology, things like Kubernetes and Node.js, but also in vertical industries. Our Linux Foundation energy initiative is a great example of that. That project was born here in Europe with RTR in France, one of the grid operators there that decided they would open source the software that they're developing to make a smarter energy distribution system. By open sourcing that, they could co develop that software with other grid operators around the world in order to reduce the amount of energy that's wasted as it's distributed across the energy grid in order to help impact and improve climate change. It's an incredible effort. It shows where open source can directly have impact in our daily lives. Our Academy Software Foundation continues to make progress. This is something that took two years of negotiation across organizations like Disney and Pixar and Lucas Films to open source the software that's used to create the digital effects that all of you love when you go and watch a Star Wars or a Marvel movie. By having all of that software in open source, the film industry was able to improve the way that they create those special effects and has really had an impact in the quality and the beauty of the stories that they tell and that all of us love. It's just another example of where open source is having a direct impact on all of our lives. Our Linux Foundation Networking Project has had an impact in the telecommunication sector. That's gone through a multi-year transformation of abstracting hardware-based networking equipment into software-defined networks and then further automating the orchestration of that software so that it can be deployed easily and quickly to support the scale out of advanced 5G networks around the globe. It's an example where open source has really reduced the cost of network equipment and facilitation and improved the quality of the network for billions of mobile users worldwide. And you know, it's that kind of impact that we consistently measure ourselves by at the Linux Foundation. If you haven't seen our LFX platform yet, go check it out. This is a place where we measure our impact in a variety of ways, particularly Insights tool. You can go in, look either in aggregate or project by project at the number of developers in our ecosystems, the mean time to average pull request resolution for a project. Maintainer satisfaction surveys exist there and much, much more. And when I look at that data across the whole Linux Foundation ecosystem, almost every metric is up and to the right. And where we see projects struggling in terms of resolving code review issues because they don't have enough resources or they're falling behind on resolving pull requests. We're building new tools and new ways to work with those communities to help them advance and improve the developer experience for that important open source code development. And we'll see more and more of that as we continue to progress on that platform. And as the Linux Foundation continues to grow. So as I said, we haven't been wrestling on our laurels during COVID and I'm really excited to show you some new projects that we're rolling out this week. But before I do that, I do think it's important to talk about the one big challenge that open source is facing, particularly in light of the log forage security incident, which happened last December and has had major repercussions in terms of how people think of open source relative to security and trust. You know, I love to tell this story about how open source today is really the dominant way that software gets developed. And you can see that based on the impact that it brings to the table. 90% of the code and most modern technology products or services is open source code. And then maybe that final 10% is proprietary code that companies use to service their customers or some kind of special innovation that they're using on top of it. But almost every modern technology product service uses the hundreds of thousands of open source building blocks out there to really build the core of their products. And because it's so ubiquitous, it comes with a real security responsibility. That same kind of ubiquitous deployment happened at Microsoft kind of in the early 2000s and late 90s, where Microsoft was also this dominant platform for most modern computing systems. And I don't know if anyone remembers back in 2003, 2004 when Bill Gates wrote a letter to all Microsoft employees around cybersecurity and trustworthy computing. At that time, Bill Gates would write a letter every few years about an important thing that was happening in technology. Previously, he had talked about the impact of the internet or the importance of mobile computing. But this time, he was talking about security. And in that letter, he said, we are going to stop working on the software we're producing now until we do comprehensive code review, until we train our employees on secure coding techniques, until we dramatically improve how security works in the software development that we're doing at Microsoft. And at that time, Microsoft had about 50,000 employees, not all of them were engineers, but really everyone in the company was forced to go and do this comprehensive security effort. So to fast forward to today, where open source is this ubiquitous building block for most modern technology products or services. But instead of 50,000 people, open source is produced by, and this is according to the latest figure on GitHub in terms of the number of developers on that platform, which is just one measure of developers, is being produced by 75 million developers worldwide. Just at the Linux Foundation, we have 750,000 developers who work across all of our projects every single day. So in that world, we can learn from the substance of what Bill Gates was saying, we should all go and take secure coding courses. We should do a better job of testing code. We should have better CICD tools for making sure that we can catch security vulnerabilities. We should have better responsible disclosure policies. We should have a security mailing list that people know how to contact and so forth. But unlike Microsoft at that time that only had 50,000 employees where you could have said, hey, you either take this course or you're fired. How are you going to fire 75 million people if we don't do this work? And so the answer is, with that challenge, we have to create a culture of secure coding in open source. We have to think of better ways to transparently provide tools, audit services and funding to open source maintainers so that they can adopt that culture of secure coding. And we can have a new era of even more trustworthy software because unlike in the proprietary world where Microsoft did make real improvements to the security of Windows, in open source, we can actually all measure the improvements of security in open source and know it. It's totally transparent and visible to all. It's literally the best of both worlds if we can achieve it. This week, the open source security foundation is meeting here in Dublin as well. And I encourage you all to go look into the work of the open source security foundation and look at the 10 point comprehensive plan that that organization has developed. It is literally the first time stakeholders from major technology companies and leaders in government have gotten together and really written down what are the things we can do to create this culture of secure coding in open source to improve the trustworthiness of open source in a meaningful way. Educating developers for free, providing free tools to developers to improve their code and catch vulnerabilities. Providing cryptographic signing to package management tools so that we know that the distribution of software is safe. Creating software bill of materials metadata ubiquity using specifications like SPDX and instrumenting that into the entire supply chain. If we can achieve the goals within that plan, we will really not only meet the moment where people are looking at open source and wondering if it can be trusted, but we will usher in an even greater area of trustworthiness in open source. So I really encourage you to all check that out. Open source is without a doubt the most important way that people create software today. And with that, I want to introduce a new project at the Linux Foundation that is one of the most important projects in a certain sector of computing. And that is AI and machine learning. Today we're announcing, and this is where Zuckerberg jumped the gun on us, but we're still happy he posted, we're announcing that PyTorch is a new project at the Linux Foundation. And I'd like to invite Dr. Ibrahim Haddad up here to talk more about the PyTorch Foundation. Ibrahim currently serves as executive director of our Linux Foundation AI and Big Data Foundation, and he will also serve as executive director of the Python Software Foundation. The reason we're so happy to have Ibrahim helping us is because in particular Dr. Haddad has a PhD. And the world of AI and ML, if you don't have a PhD, you just don't seem to get the same kind of respect. I'm sort of persona non grata in that world. So with that, let me welcome to the stage Dr. Ibrahim Haddad. Good morning everyone. My name is Ibrahim Haddad. Thank you Jim for having me and I'm so glad I did my PhD. Hello to everyone joining us remotely as well. As Jim mentioned, I am the executive director of Alpha AI and Data and as of today also the idea of the PyTorch Foundation. I'm really glad to be here today to talk to you about the PyTorch Foundation and I think before I step into this, I would like to give you a little overview of how we got here. So the next foundation started investing in the AI, open source AI and data space in 2018. And we started to track open source project within that ecosystem. So what you see on the screen behind me is the open source data and AI landscape, which is available online. And when we started this exercise in 2018, we only had about 70 projects on that landscape. Fast forward four years today, we have over 330 projects on that landscape. These are key and critical projects in the whole ecosystem. They represent over 40,000 active developers contributing and have contributed so far over 500 millions lines of code. And what's really amazing is the pace of innovation where every week we're seeing on average one new million line of code added to the ecosystem across all of these projects. So it's really an amazing ecosystem, fast growing and representing thousands of organizations that are participating in it. So when we started LFAI in data, we started with nine members and one project. Today, through the Linux Foundation investment in the space, we're hosting 41 projects. And what I'm really proud most of is the fact that we have over 17,000 developers active in our communities. And these 17,000 developers, they're coming from over 550 organizations that are interacting with us on a daily basis across our projects. So for the past four years, we've been working to really address some challenges in the ecosystem with respect to fragmentation across projects, lack of collaboration, lack of cross-integration across projects, and lack of implementation of integrations. We've been addressing challenges with respect to open governance, with respect to managing projects assets and several others. And today, I'm really happy to be here because this represents another milestone for the Linux Foundation in terms of investing in the space and really a massive commitment to open source from Meta, the founder of the PyTorch project. So Meta started PyTorch project in the year of 2016. And for the past few years, it's been really a monumental project. It grew to represent a huge and built up a huge community of developers, thousands of organizations. And today, the announcement is basically transitioning the PyTorch project into the PyTorch Foundation. And the goal of the PyTorch Foundation would be to enable the project, to provide funds for the project in support its community, its needs, and to provide the services that the project requires to grow even further and transition it into a host that is a neutral foundation. What's really impressive further is the fact that the project has over 2,400 contributors to it. And there are over 18,000 companies and organizations that rely on PyTorch as a dependency for their projects for the AI services and stocks. So by any of the metrics mentioned on the screen, it's really a fantastic project and really the ideal project to have any foundation to ensure long-term sustainability for the project under a neutral host. For the past few months, we've been working with the founding members of today's PyTorch Foundation. You see them on the screen, Amazon, AMD, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, and of course Meta. And it's been really an amazing experience to work with these organizations that are coming together to form the board members of the PyTorch Foundation and support financially the foundation in standing it up. And it's been six months of thousands of emails, a lot of phone calls, hundreds of Zoom calls, and everybody across all of these companies had a hundred percent full commitment in supporting the PyTorch project being in a foundation and transitioning it into open governance. So for those we've worked with in this organization listening to us today or maybe in the whole today, thank you very much. It's been really an amazing experience to work with you. From Linux Foundation, this is an additional investment on our side as we are further investing in the project, both in terms of resources and in terms of funding. So in addition to transitioning to the open governance model, we will be providing dedicated staff. As Jim mentioned earlier in a few minutes, I will be acting as the executive director of the foundation and we're also looking to hire staff to support the project and the foundation. So for those who are listening to us today, you can check out the career website if you're interested in an opportunity with the PyTorch Foundation. In addition, we have the LFX platform that will act as a portal for the community, providing various services, and at Linux Foundation, we will be supporting the PyTorch Foundation in various areas such as legal support, marketing, outreach, events, training, and even certification. On the training side, I'm happy to announce as well that yesterday we announced a new project that is a training course available for free, PyTorch for executives. So if you're interested and you're an executive in your organization, you're interested to learn more about the PyTorch and how it could help you be part of your building blocks internally, please sign up to the course. It's complimentary. And we have additional courses that we're working on that will come up and be available in the near future. Today, we only have humanists on stage. However, we have later on today at 3.15 p.m., we have a one-on-one sit-down with Sumit Chintala. Sumit is one of the co-founders of the PyTorch project. He is the lead maintainer and he is a senior AI researchers at Meto. He was with PyTorch since the beginning and even was torched before that and with its pre-disessors. I would love if as many of you can attend the session 3.15 later today, you will also have the opportunity to ask Sumit questions as well as myself and have an interactive session. Plus, we also have the PyTorch booth at the exhibition hall. So you're all welcome to pass by the booth. We will have PyTorch developers and maintainers that are available to address any questions you may have about the project. I think in closing, we will have a number of announcements in relation to the PyTorch project and the PyTorch Foundation. I would like to invite you to join our social media channels to visit our blog because this is where we will make these announcements. The announcement today is really historic. PyTorch is really a massive project, extremely successful and transitioning it to an open and neutral foundation is really a massive step towards even further success for the project and a clear commitment from the founding members of the PyTorch to open source and to the transition to open governance. So thank you to all of those who worked with us on this and I wish you a great conference. Hope to see you at 3.15 later tonight. Thank you. Congratulations again. I mean, this is an amazing project. You know, something like PyTorch and I think I may have said Python earlier because I had it on my mind, my young daughter was showing me literally before I got on stage some Python code she had written at school. But it's PyTorch. One of the things that's really interesting is PyTorch is a lot like kind of Kubernetes is in Cloudland, right? It's the sort of fundamental building block. And what's interesting is as you look at CNCF today, it's such a bigger ecosystem because all these different adjacent technologies blew up to make the deployment of Kubernetes in containers much easier. I mean, do you think we're going to see stuff like that happening around PyTorch as this whole ecosystem expands and, you know, the work in the open continues? Yeah, absolutely. I think one of the agenda items we have is enabling AI tooling around PyTorch. So, similarly, Jen, to what you said in terms of Kubernetes, and you've got all these different tools and projects around it, one of the goals that we aim for is continue, of course, the growth of the PyTorch project, but also work more actively on the ecosystem of tooling around it. So that when you pick up PyTorch, you've got a set of host of tooling that is available for you in supporting roles given whatever task you'd like to achieve. Absolutely. I mean, I can't wait to see how, you know, we can help grow this ecosystem and make, you know, AI and ML technology easier to create, easier to deploy, easier to maintain. And so, thanks a ton, you bring it in. All right. Well, our next big announcement is about something that I think all of you can relate to. How many of you use a digital wallet? I can't really, I want to say that's like 70%, so quite a few. And how many here use an Apple wallet or an Android wallet? One of those two. Pretty much the same hands, right? You know, digital wallet technology is increasingly an important part of our lives, not just for payments, but today in the United States, two U.S. states are enabling your driver's license to become digital and be contained inside your digital wallet. Car companies are distributing digital keys. You can put the keys to your BMW in your digital wallet today. Membership cards to health clubs, your health and insurance information, all of these things are increasingly being contained in digital wallets. And today we're going to talk about a new project at the Linux Foundation in this area that we think will provide for a more open, equitable, and interoperable digital wallet ecosystem. Our next speaker is going to tell you a bit about it. Daniel Goldschleider is the co-founder and CEO of Yes.com and a advocate for digital wallets. He has been the big impetus behind bringing this project to the Linux Foundation and today we're going to hear from him about it. So please welcome, Daniel. Thank you, Jim. Thank you, everyone, for listening to this first presentation of the Open Wallet Foundation. It's really a privilege to introduce this to you, but before I do, I want to thank the Linux Foundation. The fact that you're here probably means that you're all in love with the Linux Foundation already, but in the event that you are interested to ever start something new, come find Mike and Scott and Todd, it has been nothing short of amazing to work with them in the past couple of weeks and it's really great that the Linux Foundation is going to be the home for this and I'm not just saying that because Jim is giving me 10 minutes of his keynote time. So what is the Open Wallet Foundation? It is a chapter of the Linux Foundation. It will have its own dedicated governments. It will have its own budget and it really has a singular mission. The Open Wallet Foundation is going to make it easy for third parties to publish their own wallet. And this is really critical. The Open Wallet Foundation is not going to publish a wallet. It's not going to issue credentials. It is not going to create standards. It is not trying to compete with W3C or the FIDO Alliance or the OpenID Foundation or Trust Over IP. We leave standards to the standardization organizations but we are going to use these standards to build a common core shared software that anyone can use to publish their own wallets. Now when you look at the open source core for these wallets we have a couple of goals. One is we want to enable a plurality of wallets and we want those wallets to be interoperable. We also want them to be secure of course and we want those wallets to be multi-purpose wallets. When you think about an analogy the one we've been using in the past are browser engines. If you're using Google Chrome or if you're using Microsoft Edge or maybe Mozilla Firefox you've taken advantage of browser engines. Products like Blink or Gecko. And these browser engines are supporting a lot of standards. They're supporting video codecs and they're supporting HTML and HTML5 and there are a lot of things that factor into browser engines. To us this is a role model for how we see wallet engines in the future. I talked about multi-purpose. I don't know how many of you are working on wallets but some of us in the space when we think about wallets we think about digital identity. We think about essentially a container to hold maybe an electronic driver's license or maybe a zero-knowledge proof for a government ID. And of course that is really important for wallets. Other people maybe in the financial industry when they think about wallets they don't think primarily about identity. They think about tokenized credit cards and debit cards. And maybe if you're in the automotive industry you think about wallets as an important place for car keys or maybe digital room keys or maybe a future home for FIDO pass keys. Imagine you're interested to buy a physical wallet and I'm trying to sell you a physical wallet and you like the design and you're interested to take the wallet and then I tell you oh but one thing I should tell you about this wallet will only work for your driver's license. It will not work for your credit cards. You would likely not be interested in that wallet, right? You would say what kind of wallet are you trying to sell me? You expect a wallet to work for anything. And before I flew to Dublin my youngest daughter asked me what this digital wallet foundation is about and I explained the same thing and I talked about FIDO pass keys and car keys and she said you forgot the most important thing. Photos. So I'm not sure if family photos of your kids are going to be part of it but the idea really is to have feature parity with physical wallets and the best wallets out there. Interoperable. Of course we're going to work with existing standards. We don't try to reinvent standards but really to use the best standards that are out there today and to ensure that we come up with open source software for these standards. We believe this is absolutely critical to achieve interoperability. I am a huge believer in open source software. I think open source software inherently provides an opportunity to create really safe and secure pieces of software but the intention of the open wallet foundation is also to act as a steward and as a shared effort to ensure that the resources that we are creating that the software we're creating is safeguarded as much as possible because obviously when it comes to wallet security is absolutely paramount. Of course this is going to be open source software so anyone can run, inspect, modify, redistribute the source code. You can sell your own copies of the code as long as you use the same license but we want to be open not just quote unquote in the license for the software. We want the open wallet foundation also to be a home for open discussion. Wallets are still pretty new. We are at the beginning of this game not the end and we really encourage anyone and everyone who's interested in this space to come together and have a discussion about what the technologies, the protocols, the standards are that should play an important role in the open wallet foundation. Today is the day where we announce the open wallet foundation. If this was a baby, the baby is not even born yet. We're going to formally incorporate hopefully before the end of the year but this is an announcement of a pregnancy basically. We were saying there are a number of parties that came together over the past couple of months to discuss the need for a shared foundation for wallets. If you're interested to be there this is essentially a warm welcome to join those discussions and to become part of what we're trying to do. If you're interested to learn more please come to our panel today just shortly after noon. We'll have I think almost 15 people talk about the open wallet foundation. You'll hear from a diverse group of people from some of the world's largest companies as well as some of the world's most influential not-for-profit organizations. And it's really a panel that is trying to convince you to join, to become part of the open wallet family. If you care about payments, if you care about digital identity, if you care about a plurality of wallets that are interoperable please do think about joining that panel discussion. And if you're interested to learn more we have a brand new email address that is up here info at openwallet.foundation. We are really interested to hear from you because at the very heart of what we're trying to do is a plurality of people. We're going to either be successful or we're going to fail because of the people who are part of this effort. If you care about the future that we started to describe here it's really up to you. It's up to all of us to come to the table and to be part of an effort to ensure that identity is something that belongs to all of us. Thank you very much. I love it. You know great things come from small beginnings and I think this is a pretty amazing beginning. You know the thing I love about this project is just the sheer ambition. And you know I've been working at the Linux Foundation almost 20 years now and I can't count the number of times I've heard things like oh you'll never be able to compete with proprietary operating systems. Oh free certificate authority that'll never work. You know and then Let's Encrypt became the world's largest certificate authority. Linux became the most dominant form of computing. Oh you're getting everybody to move off VMs to this way too difficult to use container orchestration tool that'll never work. And yet now Kubernetes and containers are the ubiquitous platform for modern computing. So I think we've got another one here it just in this sheer impact that something like this can create in people's daily lives and I am certain that we're going to be successful so I really appreciate you coming here and talking to this group today. Thank you very much for the invitation. All right thank you Jim. Cheers. All right.
