Can a general purpose, open source operating system like Linux be deployed in safety-critical products? Can it achieve certifications to standards like ISO 26262? This question has become increasingly common in recent years. In this talk, Bryan provides a safety integrity qualification approach for Linux. It is composed of Linux Kernel, user space libraries (like libc) and user-space components (like init processes), up to ASIL B according to ISO 26262:2018.

AI-powered worker safety monitoring: detecting helmets, vests, and compliance in real time.

Learn how to configure Ubuntu at launch using declarative, idempotent instructions stored in a version-controlled YAML file. In this talk, Rajan explains how this approach minimizes arbitrary commands, reduces risks of command injection and privilege escalation, and ensures validation and error handling. This is relevant on major public and private clouds, and virtualization solutions ranging from VMware, WSL, LXD, Multipass, Proxmox, and more.

What is uPKI? While web browsers automatically check if an HTTPS certificate has been revoked, other Linux command-line tools and applications usually skip this check. That leaves applications vulnerable to compromised or misissued certificates many months after this is discovered. In their talk, Joe Birr-Pixton and Dirkjan Ochtman will be introducing uPKI: a new effort to bring browser-grade certificate infrastructure to Linux. This effort is funded by Canonical, engineered by the maintainers of rustls, and builds on foundational work from Mozilla.

Discover how NVIDIA Earth-2 brings open source software and open science to weather and climate forecasting. Niall Robinson (NVIDIA) introduces a new way of making production-ready weather AI fully accessible for organizations to run, fine-tune, and deploy on their own infrastructure: NVIDIA Earth-2.

What are the latest developments in Arm tooling on Ubuntu? In this talk, David explores Arm tooling to analyze and optimize workload performance, and how AI-assisted development using agentic AI and static analysis can accelerate porting and tuning applications for the Arm architecture. About David David Haikney is a Technical Product Director at Arm. He is responsible for Arm Performix, a free performance toolkit that helps developers understand and improve real-world performance on Arm architectures.

Not all open source projects gain traction -- but a few become movements. In this talk, Nariman, Founder of Puter, shares what actually separates the two, based on his experience of growing Puter to 40K+ stars, gaining hundreds of contributors, and over 500K installations. He breaks down how to gain momentum from a project's foundation, attract contributors, and design projects that capture the imagination.

Learn how to deploy Canonical Managed Kubeflow on Microsoft Azure step by step. Canonical's Managed Kubeflow on Azure gives enterprise and startup AI teams a fully operational, open source MLOps platform in under an hour. It is managed 24/7 by Canonical's engineers. This means you can focus entirely on building models rather than running infrastructure.

When a new cybersecurity vulnerability is discovered, it gets a snazzy name, media coverage, and major accolades for the researcher. But what about the person who stays up late writing, testing, and deploying the patch to fix it?
