2017 EVENTS BY DATE


It’s well established that leading companies are using open source strategically to power their business. Smart companies realize that to gain a competitive advantage they must influence and learn directly from the open source maintainers, developers and IT managers who are steering the projects being used to create today’s most innovative commercial products and services.

Linux Foundation events are the only place where the world’s leading maintainers, developers and practitioners across all of the most important open source software projects meet. From the enterprise to networking, embedded, IoT and cloud infrastructure, among others, Linux Foundation events are the best place to identify software trends early and inform future technology investments.

“[OSLS] is the only event where I can meet all of the key leaders across the open

source cloud computing projects in person. The chance to talk in person, share

aspirations and wrestle with new ideas this year have already resulted in collaboration

between the Docker, Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, and OpenDeis communities.

The institutional knowledge about open source represented by the participants is

inspiring. This is an event that can help us build a better software industry.”

SAM RAMJI, CEO, CLOUD FOUNDRY FOUNDATION

Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) has been the premier vendor-neutral technical conference for the past 13 years for companies and developers using Linux in embedded products.

After a decade of collaboration, the conference extended its scope to include user-space developers - the people building applications on embedded Linux - and has become the preeminent space for product vendors as well as kernel and systems developers to collaborate with these influential technologists.

Who Attends:

� Kernel Developers and System Developers � User Space Developers � Product Vendors � System Architects � Firmware Developers � Software Developers � Application Developers

The new OpenIoT Summit - introduced in 2016 - is the first event of its kind, bringing together embedded developers, application developers, systems architects and firmware developers to learn, share and advance the technical work required for the future of IoT.

Unlike existing IoT events, IoT Summit is for technologists, by technologists. Experts from the world’s leading companies and most important open source projects will present the information you need to lead successful IoT developments so that you can bring smart connected products and solutions to market.

OpenIoT Summit is the only IoT event focused on the development of IoT solutions. OpenIoT Summit is a technical event created to serve the unique needs of system architects, firmware developers, software developers and application developers in this emerging IoT ecosystem.


“The ELC/OpenIoT Summit brought together all of the critical participants in two deeply

connected ecosystems - the embedded systems that run on devices and the frameworks that

connect those devices. It is a small community of the brightest minds talking openly and sharing

ideas. We found being there invaluable.”

The LPC brings together the top developers working on the “plumbing” of Linux — kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing systems, etc. — and gives them three days to work together on core design problems.

The conference is divided into several working sessions focusing on different “plumbing” topics, as well as a general paper track.

LPC launched in 2008 at the behest of the community and continues to provide a space where developers working in subsystems can come together to solve problems real-time. 450 developers gather annually for this event; the conference is limited to this number of people for maximum collaboration opportunities.

The Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) is a developer conference for the open source community.

December 6–8, 2017 | Austin, Texas


CloudNativeCon + KubeCon gathers leading technologists from multiple open source cloud native communities to further the education and advancement of cloud native computing.

Who Attends?

2,500+ developers, architects and technical leaders, CIOs, CTOs, press and analysts will gather for CloudNativeCon/KubeCon North America.


� Meet with upstream developers and operations experts ranging from hobbyists to startup CTOs, from corporate developers to language designers and senior technology executives from all over the world.

� Learn about the latest features in Containers, Kubernetes, and Cloud Native architectures.

� Learn what other companies are doing with cloud native computing.



� Join CNCF’s hosted projects – Fluentd, Kubernetes, OpenTracing, Prometheus, Fluentd, Linkerd, gRPC, CoreDNS, containerd, rtk and CNI – and help bring cloud native project communities together.

Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies enable higher velocity software development at a lower cost than traditional infrastructure. Cloud native – orchestrating containers as part of a microservices architecture – is a departure from traditional application design. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation is helping to build a map through this new terrain, and CloudNativeCon/KubeCon is where the community comes together to share their expertise on this formerly uncharted but increasingly popular territory.
