じゃあみなさん、はよくございまーすI love coming to Japan12月はとこに素晴らしいですねあの天気がいいしThe Christmas illuminations I also loveSo it's really niceEverybody loves to come to Japan in DecemberThis is another fun time of yearBecause at the Linux FoundationWe also get to reflectOn all the workThat we've done in 2023And we've really done an amazing amount of workAll of our communities have been creating technologyAnd technology standardsThat really impact the worldAnd help people here in JapanMake the wonderful products and servicesThat Japan is famous forOne of the questions I always get askedAbout the Linux FoundationIs how do you define success?Remember the Linux FoundationIs a non-profit companySo we don't measure success based on moneyThe way that we measure our successIs based on impactImpact meaning how much does the technologyThat is co-created at the Linux FoundationIn the projects that we hostImpact people every dayIn making their lives betterProviding better technology productsProviding people access to technologyIn countries where they may not get thatImpacting climate change and much, much moreSo today I want to talk to you aboutSome of the impact the Linux FoundationHas had on the technology industryBut before that, I want to answerA different question that I get asked all the timeWhich is, what do foundations do?What exactly is it that the Linux Foundation does?I think it's important to understandThe function of organizations like oursAnd how we work relative toTechnology companies, software developers, and governmentAnd what I thought I would do to describeWhat we do is use an old internet memeTo describe what the Linux Foundation actually doesSo the first thing isYou think about what I tell my friendsThis is what my friends think the Linux Foundation doesI travel all around the worldI speak at wonderful eventsI have sushi for breakfast, lunch, dinnerIn TokyoAnd they think I've got this great jobAnd that's all I do all dayMy mom thinks that I'm saving the worldBut my mom thinks that anything I do is really, really goodSo I'm grateful to herSociety thinks that we're crazyThat we create softwareAnd all of it is given away for freeAnd that we're sort ofThis crazy socialist movementDevelopers think that we just take moneyWaste moneyTake credit for their workDon't ask Linus about thatI think I'm really good at what I doBut this is what the Linux Foundation actually doesWe're actually kind of like the supporting castOr the janitors of open sourceAnd what I mean by that isFoundations like the Linux FoundationThey do all the things that are needed to supportIncredibly large software development effortsJust to be clearThe Linux Foundation employsVery few software developersNow we happen to have a couple ofVery, very special software developersThat we do employ at the Linux FoundationPeople like Greg Crow HartmanAnd this other guy who's going to be on stage nextBut what we do is all the things that are neededTo facilitate software developmentHolding events like thisPromoting the software development effortsSo more developers come inMaintaining the technology development infrastructureTraining people on how to use the technologySo that we can get faster time to benefitAnd more impact and much, much moreLegal assistance and other thingsToday at the Linux FoundationWe don't just support open source projectsAlthough that's the majority of our businessToday we're doing collaborationAcross a spectrum of innovationFrom open standardsThe open chain specificationAnd SPDX software bill of materials specificationWhich are being adopted to help usImprove the way software is managedAnd improve our collective cybersecurityTo open hardware initiatives like RISC-5Which is the fastest growingSummit conductor instruction set in the worldTo data sharing networksUvature mapsThis is a very largeGeospatial mapping data initiativeTo allow organizations likeAmazon, Microsoft, Tom Tom, MetaTo make better mapping experienceBetter augmented reality experienceBy sharing mapping data collectivelyNormalizing itAnd then applying artificial intelligenceTo improve itI predict you'll see a lot moreData sharing effortsAt the Linux Foundation in 2024As people start to understandThat in order to take advantageOf artificial intelligence technologyAnd large language modelsIt's very important to understandHow to procure and trackWhat data is being used in those modelsSo that everyone is clearAnd can trust that technologyThe Linux Foundation focusesOn a small set of open sourceAnd standardsThere are probablyI can't remember the latest count90 million open source projects on GitHubIt's some crazy numberAt the Linux FoundationWe have about a thousand projectsHowever, they really areImportant projects in the worldThe way we decideWhat we work on is we ask three questionsDoes this effort move the needleOn industry and society?Will this software development effortWill this standard have impact?The second question we ask isDo you need a neutral homeTo collaborate?Does more than one personAn organization need to come togetherThen we are a good neutral facilitatorThen finally we askCan we raise the resourcesTo support this community effectivelyAnd when that all comes togetherWe get this kind of an outcomeWe get great projectsLike Linux, Node.js, KubernetesThat are used in amazing productsAzure, Amazon cloud servicesFujitsu's cloud services and so forthThose companies make moneyAnd they employ developersWho contribute back to the open source projectWith bug fixes, performance improvementsSo better projects, better productsMore profits, more investmentBack in the projectAnd it's a virtuous cycleAnd that is why open sourceIs so insanely successfulAnd this is all of the thingsThat you need to doAround the software development effortTo make sure that the productA project, product, profitThat cycle can happenDeveloper relations, intellectual property managementTechnical documentation, developer experienceThese are the things that are very importantTo give you an ideaOf how effective this form of development isI looked at all the projects across the Linux FoundationAnd all of the developers who workIn those communities every daySo the Linux Foundation on any dayHas an average of about 600,000 contributorsAnd I took the average software engineering salaryGloballyThis is from Nigeria, which is on the low endTo the United States, which is the highestAnd the average salary for software developmentAround the world is about $43,000And so if you multiply the number of developersBy the average salary of a software developerIt is a $26 billion numberSo last year, Microsoft in theirSEC filings in their public reportsStated that they spend about $22 billionMicrosoft being the largest software company in the worldSo if you look at our numberTechnically, Linux Foundation is really one ofThe largest software companies in the worldWith an incredibly large amountOf people working every daySo all of that comes togetherIn order to produce impactAnd that is ultimately what we measure our value onAnd I want to just give you a few examplesI won't read all of theseBut the impact of Linux Foundation projectsHas been tremendousThe Linux kernel continues to beThe single most important software developmentEffort in the worldIt continues to grow in market shareIt continues to adoptInto new forms of computingIt continues to add tremendous valueThe collective development that goes onIn Linux cannot be understatedWhen a mobile device manufacturerHelps improve battery lifeIn a mobile android phoneAnd then upstreams that codeTo help improve the overall performanceTo power ratio of the kernelEvery data center in the worldUses less power and coolingIt is the single best exampleOf a nonzero sum benefit in the worldBut we also have an amazing setOf other efforts that we doAt the Linux FoundationWhether it's open standardsOr education and trainingLast year the Linux Foundation trainedWe hit a milestoneOf having trained 3 million developersWe have impact in vertical industriesIn networking and telecommunicationsThe ONAT projectThe open network automation platformIs used to run production networksBy mobile operatorsWho connect billions of peopleAll over the worldOur 5G super blueprint projectIs defining the futureOf wireless telecommunicationsAnd leveraging open sourceTo accelerate itIn cloud computingKubernetes needs no introductionsIt is an amazing effortThat has redefined how developersCreate, deploy, and maintainCloud applicationsAnd in the newest trendAI and dataThe Linux Foundation is homeTo projects like PyTorchPyTorch is how you actually buildLarge language models and ML modelsAnd it is a fundamental building blockFor artificial intelligenceOne of my favorite recent storiesAbout PyTorchIs the fact that we had an eventIn San FranciscoAnd we only had room for 600 peopleAnd so many people wanted to comeTo the PyTorch eventThey were selling tickets on stack overflowTo each otherI've never seen a Linux foundation eventTickets being scalped onlineBut we work again Across the energy sectorWith grid operatorsWho are using open source softwareTo improve the performanceOf energy distributionIn financial servicesWe're working with central banksAround the worldTo do proof of conceptsAnd pilots on central bankDigital currency effortsOther blockchain initiativesAnd then finallyAnd I think this is one of the more interesting things we doWe also have a personal impact on peopleEverytime I come to a Linux foundation eventAt some point someone will run up to meAnd say, Jim Jim, I just want to thank youThe Linux foundation really changed my lifeYou offered me a scholarshipTo come to an eventI met my new employerNot a job because the chanceThat the Linux foundation gave meTo attend these eventsOr I meet a developer who saysI participated in a kernel mentoring programAnd as a result of that mentoring programI got a life changing jobAt a company I love to work forAnd all of us at the foundationAre so proud of that workSo in the last few minutesI want to tell you the secretOf the Linux foundationAnd this is the most important thingFor y'all to rememberBecause all of you are either developersOr you work with developersAnd remember, at the Linux foundationWe have to work with over 600,000 developersEveryday to achieve impactAnd almost all of themDo not work for usWe have to lead through influenceSo the secret to the Linux foundationAre these three wordsIf you want to learn how to workWith engineers, developersTo get things doneYou have to be helpfulYou have to genuinely do thingsThat make the job of software developersEasierImprove how they write documentationBuild better infrastructureYou need to be optimisticHopefulIf you're hopefulThen when an open source developerMight get angryOr this may surprise youSometimes open source developersCan be very criticalBut if you're hopefulIt doesn't get you downYou keep focusing on impactNot on that thing you're doingJust that dayBut the number one secretFor working with developersTo getting good technologyOutcomes is humilityTo be able toNot lead through edictNot lead through commandBut lead from behindThrough influenceThrough working collaborativelyTo solve big problemsIf you can have these three qualitiesIf you can be helpfulHopeful and humbleYou can achieve amazing successEven with people who don't work with youWhich in 2023 is the pinnacleOf achievementWorking collectively to achieve impactAnd so that in retrospect in 2023Is why we do thingsAnd how we do thingsAt the Linux FoundationAnd I look forward to continuingWorking with all of youFor years to comeThank you
