ONE Summit Agenda is now live!
This post originally appeared on LF Networking’s blog. The author, Heather Kirksey, is VP Community & Ecosystem. ONE Summit is the Linux Foundation Networking event that focuses on the networking and automation ecosystem that is transforming public and private sector innovation across 5G network edge, and cloud native solutions. Our family of open source projects address every layer of infrastructure needs from the user edge to the cloud/core. Attend ONE Summit to get the scoop on hot topics for 2022!
Today LF Networking announced our schedule for ONE Summit, and I have to say that I’m extraordinarily excited. I’m excited because it means we’re growing closer to returning to meeting in-person, but more importantly I was blown away by the quality of our speaking submissions. Before I talk more about the schedule itself, I want to say that this quality is all down to you: You sent us a large number of thoughtful, interesting, and innovative ideas; You did the work that underpins the ideas; You did the work to write them up and submit them. The insight, lived experience, and future-looking thought processes humbled me with its breadth and depth. You reminded me why I love this ecosystem and the creativity within open source. We’ve all been through a tough couple of years, but we’re still here innovating, deploying, and doing work that improves the world. A huge shout out to everyone across every company, community, and project that made the job of choosing the final roster just so difficult.
Now onto the content itself. As you’ve probably heard, we’ve got 5 tracks: Industry 4.0, Security and Privacy, The New Networking Stack, Operationalizing Deployment, and Emerging Technologies and Business Models:
“Industry 4.0” looks at the confluence of edge and networking technologies that enable technology to uniquely improve our interactions with the physical world, whether that’s agriculture, manufacturing, robotics, or our homes. We’ve got a great line-up focused both on use cases and the technologies that enable them.
“Security and Privacy” are the most important issues with which we as global citizens and we as an ecosystem struggle. Far from being an afterthought, security is front and center as we look at zero-trust and vulnerability management, and which technologies and policies best serve enterprises and consumers.
Technology is always front and center for open source groups and our “New Networking Stack” track dives deep into the technologies and components we will all use as we build the infrastructure of the future. In this track we have a number of experts sharing their best practices, as well as ideas for forward-looking usages.
In our “Operationalizing Deployment” track, we learn from the lived experience of those taking ideas and turning them into workable reality. We ask questions like, How do you bridge cultural divides? How do you introduce and truly leverage DevOps? How do you integrate compliance and reference architectures? How do you not only deploy but bring in Operations? How do you automate and how to you use tools to accomplish digital transformation in our ecosystem(s)?
Not just content focusing only on today’s challenges and success, we look ahead with “Emerging Technologies and Business Models.” Intent, Metaverse, MASE, Scaling today’s innovation to be tomorrow’s operations, new takes on APIs – these are the concepts that will shape us in the next 5-10 years; we talk about how we start approaching and understanding them?
Every talk that made it into this program has unique and valuable insight, and I’m so proud to be part of the communities that proposed them. I’m also honored to have worked with one of the best Programming Committees in open source events ever. These folks took so much time and care to provide both quantitative and qualitative input that helped shape this agenda. Please be sure to thank them for their time because they worked hard to take the heart of this event to the next level. If you want to be in the room and in the hallway with these great speakers, there is only ONE place to be. Early bird registration ends soon, so don’t miss out and register now!
And please don’t forget to sponsor. Creating a space for all this content does cost money, and we can’t do it without our wonderful sponsors. If you’re still on the fence, please consider how amazing these sessions are and the attendee conservations they will spark. We may not be the biggest conference out there, but we are the most focused on decision makers and end users and the supply chains that enable them. You won’t find a more engaged and thoughtful audience anywhere else.
35 Podcasts Recommended by People You Can Trust – Linux Foundation
Because of my position as Executive Producer and host of The Untold Stories of Open Source, I frequently get asked, “What podcasts do you listen to when you’re not producing your own.” Interesting question. However, my personal preference, This American Life, is more about how they create their shows, how they use sound and music to supplement the narration, and just in general, how Ira Glass does what he does. Only podcast geeks would be interested in that, so I reached out to my friends in the tech industry to ask them what THEY listen to.
The most surprising thing I learned was people professing to not listen to podcasts. “I don’t listen to podcasts, but if I had to choose one…”, kept popping up. The second thing was people in the industry need a break and use podcasts to escape from the mayhem of their day. I like the way Jennifer says it best, “Since much of my role is getting developers on board with security actions, I gravitate toward more psychology based podcasts – Adam Grant’s is amazing (it’s called WorkLife).”
Now that I think of it, same here. This American Life. Revisionist History. Radio Lab. The Moth. You get the picture. Escaping from the mayhem of the day.
Without further digression, here are the podcasts recommended by the people I trust, no particular order. No favoritism.
The Haunted Hacker
Hosted by Mike Jones and Mike LeBlanc
Mike Jones and Mike LeBlanc built the H4unt3d Hacker podcast and group from a really grass roots point of view. The idea was spawned over a glass of bourbon on the top of a mountain. The group consists of members from around the globe and from various walks of life, religions, backgrounds and is all inclusive. They pride themselves in giving back and helping people understand the cybersecurity industry and navigate through the various challenges one faces when they decide cybersecurity is where they belong.

Addressing Cybersecurity Challenges in Open Source Software: What you need to know
by Ashwin Ramaswami
June 2022 saw the publication of Addressing Cybersecurity Challenges in Open Source Software, a joint research initiative launched by the Open Source Security Foundation in collaboration with Linux Foundation Research and Snyk. The research dives into security concerns in the open source ecosystem. If you haven’t read it, this article will give you the report’s who, what, and why, summarizing its key takeaways so that it can be relevant to you or your organization.
Who is the report for?
This report is for everyone whose work touches open source software. Whether you’re a user of open source, an OSS developer, or part of an OSS-related institution or foundation, you can benefit from a better understanding of the state of security in the ecosystem.
Open source consumers and users: It’s very likely that you rely on open source software as dependencies if you develop software. And if you do, one important consideration is the security of the software supply chain. Security incidents such as log4shell have shown how open source supply chain security touches nearly every industry. Even industries and organizations that have traditionally not focused on open source software now realize the importance of ensuring their OSS dependencies are secure. Understanding the state of OSS security can help you to manage your dependencies intelligently, choose them wisely, and keep them up to date.
Open source developers and maintainers: People and organizations that develop or maintain open source software need to ensure they use best practices and policies for security. For example, it can be valuable for large organizations to have open source security policies. Moreover, many OSS developers also use other open source software as dependencies, making understanding the OSS security landscape even more valuable. Developers have a unique role to play in leading the creation of high-quality code and the respective governance frameworks and best practices around it.
Institutions: Institutions such as open source foundations, funders, and policymaking groups can benefit from this report by understanding and implementing the key findings of the research and their respective roles in improving the current state of the OSS ecosystem. Funding and support can only go to the right areas if priorities are informed by the problems the community is facing now, which the research assists in identifying.
What are the major takeaways?
The data from this report was collected by conducting a worldwide survey of:
Individuals who contribute to, use, or administer OSS;Maintainers, core contributors, and occasional contributors to OSS;Developers of proprietary software who use OSS; andIndividuals with a strong focus on software supply chain security
The survey also included data collected from several major package ecosystems by using Snyk Open Source, a static code analysis (SCA) tool free to use for individuals and open source maintainers.
Here are the major takeaways and recommendations from the report:
Too many organizations are not prepared to address OSS security needs: At least 34% of organizations did not have an OSS security policy in place, suggesting these organizations may not be prepared to address OSS security needs.Small organizations must prioritize developing an OSS security policy: Small organizations are significantly less likely to have an OSS security policy. Such organizations should prioritize developing this policy and having a CISO and OSPO (Open Source Program Office).Using additional security tools is a leading way to improve OSS security: Security tooling is available for open source security across the software development lifecycle. Moreover, organizations with an OSS security policy have a higher frequency of security tool use than those without an OSS security policy.Collaborate with vendors to create more intelligent security tools: Organizations consider that one of the most important ways to improve OSS security across the supply chain is adding greater intelligence to existing software security tools, making it easier to integrate OSS security into existing workflows and build systems.Implementing best practices for secure software development is the other leading way to improve OSS security: Understanding best practices for secure software development, through courses such as the OpenSSF’s Secure Software Development Fundamentals Courses, has been identified repeatedly as a leading way to improve OSS supply chain security.Use automation to reduce your attack surface: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools and scanners allow automating CI/CD activities to eliminate threat vectors around manual deployments.Consumers of open source software should give back to the communities that support them: The use of open source software has often been a one-way street where users see significant benefits with minimal cost or investment. For larger open source projects to meet user expectations, organizations must give back and close the loop by financially supporting OSS projects they use.
Why is this important now?
Open source software is a boon: its collaborative and open nature has allowed society to benefit from various innovative, reliable, and free software tools. However, these benefits only last when users contribute back to open source software and when users and developers exercise due diligence around security. While the most successful open source projects have gotten such support, other projects have not – even as open source use has continued to be more ubiquitous.
Thus, it is more important than ever to be aware of the problems and issues everyone faces in the OSS ecosystem. Some organizations and open source maintainers have strong policies and procedures for handling these issues. But, as this report shows, other organizations are just facing these issues now.
Finally, we’ve seen the risks of not maintaining proper security practices around OSS dependencies. Failure to update open source dependencies has led to costs as high as $425 million. Given these risks, a little investment in strong security practices and awareness around open source – as outlined in the report’s recommendations – can go a long way.
We suggest you read the report – then see how you or your organization can take the next step to keep yourself secure!
