 Good morning everyone. This year has been a great year for Open Source and a very good year for the Linux Foundation. This morning I'm here to give you an update on how the Linux Foundation is doing. An update on how the Linux Foundation is doing. And I'm going to be followed by Chris Anacek from the Linux Foundation who works across many of our projects, but mainly on the Cloud Native Computing Foundation to show you how you can participate, bring projects to the Foundation and what value we provide as an organization. So with that I thought I would start by in December looking back on 2019 on all the amazing things that our organization has accomplished. Today the Linux Foundation is home to over 250 Open Source projects, but they're not just any Open Source projects. They're some of the most important shared technology in the world, whether it's the Linux kernel project, which is the most successful widely deployed software in the history of computing, or newer projects like Kubernetes, which has redefined how Cloud applications are created, deployed, and managed, or things that you'll hear about today in the blockchain space with Hyperledger that's used in financial services and supply chain management. Zephyr, which is increasingly becoming an important major real-time operating system, powering many, many systems worldwide. But a few statistics that I think are interesting. This year we're adding a new major project every single week, whether it's a very major umbrella project like the Continuous Development Foundation that you'll hear about today, or just a small project that's sort of standalone like GraphQL. Every single week we're introducing a new Open Source project, projects that are participated in by over 1600 major corporations and tens of thousands of developers worldwide. We have had a lot of growth in events like this this year. We have now gathered over 40,000 developers at our over I think 157 events worldwide. How many people were at the KubeCon event I think three, four weeks ago? So a few of you. KubeCon in San Diego just about a month ago had over 12,000 attendees at that event. It was the biggest Linux Foundation event we've ever had. We're on track to go over 50,000 developers next year globally participating in our events. Today in our training program, 500 people register for Linux Foundation training, whether it's for Kubernetes or Linux or Node.js or Hyperledger, 500 people register every single day for our training programs. We have we're training millions of developers globally on the latest open source technology from massive open online courses all the way to skills based testing for Kubernetes, Linux and many other cutting edge technology. We introduced new software tools this year to help our communities grow. We introduced a mentoring platform that can enable mentors to pair with mentees to teach new developers about how to participate in projects like Linux, like Kubernetes, like Node.js. We introduced software security tooling this year for our projects that do code analysis across projects to show vulnerabilities, map dependencies and alert us for upstream security issues before they become downstream security issues in any of your products or services. We also gave away quite a bit of funding to bring people from underrepresented communities into our development world. Women, people from underrepresented communities, people in poverty, we've given away over $1.4 million, offered hundreds of scholarships to have people come and attend our events so that we can create a better more diverse community across all Linux Foundation projects. And we've added over 200, I think this is an old number, almost 300 new members this year. The Linux Foundation now has over 1,600 corporate members who participate in the hundreds of projects that we host. And I should point out that it hasn't just been a good year for the Linux Foundation. It's been a good year for the Eclipse Foundation. It's been a good year for the Apache Software Foundation and many other open source organizations because open source is now such a critical and common part of any modern software development. Our organization has also been recognized by the industry year after year after year as one of the most important organizations that affect how people build software. The SD times in Silicon Valley has recognized us for being alongside Amazon, Microsoft and others as an influencer. Three years in a row we've won their influencer award which represents the platforms that people use and the technology that people adopt now and in the future. And it's really only shows that how important open source and our organization is to the technology sector. So we started a long time ago with Linux but I would like to show you where we're going as an organization now and into the future. With Linux we obviously started focusing on one platform mainly on the Linux kernel project and mainly working many years ago to make Linux a ubiquitous global computing standard. And we have a lot of success bringing developers into the Linux ecosystem creating a legal framework so that people understood open source software and how reliable it can be providing that legal defense to make sure that people know that open source software is safe and reliable. And we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. But in that process we developed some best practices that you're going to hear from Chris about how to take everything we learned promoting and protecting Linux and apply it to other projects. We started with other projects closely related to Linux. In the telecommunications sector not too long ago some of you may remember Sun and Spark was a de facto platform for many telecommunications systems. We worked on a project called Carrier Grade Linux to take Linux and make it telco-rate to harden it to make it so that it could support the kind of workloads in a telco environment. And that has been unbelievably successful and was at the time essentially entirely displacing Sun microsystems in the telecommunications sector. Our Yachto project is a good example of where there was a need for a modern embedded system custom build environment for Linux. We were able to work with all of our member companies and thousands of developers and now the Yachto project really is the de facto standard for building custom Linux distributions in particular for embedded systems. We then expanded beyond Linux related projects to the networking sector. In 2000 I want to say I can't remember the exact date. We started working on the open daylight project. This was an open source project for software-defined networking at a time when the networking industry was moving from a hardware-based industry to a software-defined industry. So the same concept of server virtualization was being applied to what we now know as software-defined networking today or networking virtualization. Open daylight quickly became a standard software-defined networking framework and based on that work we expanded into many many new areas of collaborative development across a even wider variety of industries and there are too many to count so I'm only going to point out a few but we have now been taking the concept of open source development into entirely new industries. One example is the Academy Software Foundation. How many people here know the Oscars the Oscar movie award? Pretty much everyone. So the Academy of Motion Pictures partnered with the Linux Foundation to help Disney, Lucasfilms, industrial light and magic, dreamworks, open source the software that's used to create all the movies that all of us see every day. Star Wars, The Avengers, all those movies use open source software to create those films and that open source software is a part of the Academy Software Foundation which is at the Linux Foundation itself. We spent two years working with that industry to teach them how to work collaboratively in open source and now the vast majority of that work is out in the open and being collaborated on by all the major film studios worldwide. In networking our OP NFV project is the de facto network test standard for network function virtualization. Our Linux Foundation networking project represents a collaboration between roughly 80% of the world's telecommunications operators. Think about that. The networks that power three billion mobile users are running on open source software being managed in provision using open source software that's being created at the Linux Foundation. Our automotive great Linux project grew mainly out of here in Japan in an early partnership with Toyota Motor Company and many other Japanese automobile makers and supply chains companies like Renaissance, Panasonic who participated in creating an open source reference implementation for the in-vehicle experience, the informatics displays and so forth. That project is now in millions of production vehicles worldwide. You're going to hear about the Cloud Native Computing Foundation but I think how many people here know Kubernetes? So our organization really promoted that term cloud native computing to redefine for the whole world how people build modern applications and we're doing that today in partnership with over 500 companies worldwide. This is something a lot of people don't know that the Linux Foundation is also home to the world's largest certificate authority. Our Let's Encrypt project is securing the majority of web traffic by giving away for free TLS certificates that help improve the security and privacy of everyone. The idea is that creating a secure web experience and just be as simple as app get Let's Encrypt and it's really working and dramatically increasing the amount of secure and private traffic that runs over the global internet and we have many many more but we didn't just stop at software this year we've seen a dramatic increase in specification development and standards development at the Linux Foundation with projects like graph QL with projects like the open container initiative which is both a reference implementation and the specification and we have a new organization that we launched earlier this year called the Joint Development Foundation which just three weeks ago received past submitter status from the International Standards Organization ISO. What that means is that the Linux Foundation can take from a GitHub repo all the way through to an accredited international standard recognized by the international standards organization ISO thanks to our Joint Development Foundation we've been able to bring the world of standard setting and open source together for the first time. Finally this year we've seen an increase in hardware related initiatives at the Foundation this year we announced the Open Power Foundation moving to the Linux Foundation the RISC-5 Foundation moving to the Linux Foundation we formed the Chips Alliance with many of the largest cloud computing vendors in the world. These hardware related activities are now taking the concepts of open source and applying them to Silicon Instruction Set technology and other hardware related activities and finally we're not just stopping at standards and open hardware we're also doing open data sharing initiatives. Our open source data licensing initiatives are making it easier for people to share large data sets to improve outcomes from machine learning models we are building open data practices to teach people how to use data effectively and sharing easily. We're even creating some ethical AI initiatives that help teach people how to train models in a way that includes implications around the ethics of the model that they are actually training and so we have a major new set of open data sharing practices and open data legal programs that will really bring in hopefully a new frontier of widely shared collective data. So what do we have in store for 2020? In 2020 here are some projects that you should keep your eye on one the Linux Foundation energy initiative. This is an initiative to create an open source platform to manage the modern utility grids in particular we're seeing utility operators in Europe and France and other parts of Europe open sourcing the software that they're using to create smart grid technology that powers their entire countries. We have new security initiatives coming in 2020. We've done a comprehensive analysis of the global software supply chain starting with open source projects moving to package management systems all the way to downstream consumption open source to understand how to at every level improve the security practices of the vast global software supply chain. We're doing that research in partnership with Harvard University's lab for innovation science and we'll be publishing that research next year. We also are seeing significant growth in our deep learning initiatives. Today you're going to hear about a project that recently came to the Linux Foundation ONIX. I think that's one that's very interesting. We have some more projects coming in in this area. Our drum code project is starting to really pick up speed. This project has more flight hours than any other unmanned aerial vehicle program in the world. Finally and my last point is if you haven't gone and looked at the Linux Foundation's to-do group this is a group of open source program management professionals from companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft companies here in Japan that teach each other how they manage open source legal framework, choosing open source projects, creating open sources as part of their engineering process. It literally is a how-to guide of how to use open source to create commercial products and services. So we're seeing a ton of growth in that particular project and many, many more. And with that I'd like to leave you by saying if you're going to the computer electronics show the second week of January we are going to have a huge booth there for our automotive grade Linux initiative. We'll have several demo vehicles and many, many demos of the platform and so if any of you are attending that event we look forward to seeing you there. So it's been a great year for the Foundation and I'd like to invite Chris Anacheck up to talk to all of you about how we create value in detail and how you can participate in bringing new projects to our organization and participating in the projects we have. So with that if you don't mind Nori I'd like to bring Chris Anacheck up on stage to talk about how you can participate in the Foundation and I want to thank you all for coming today. Thank you very much.
