Open source communities are adapting, even thriving when facing today’s disruptive technology shifts. Why? Organization’s infrastructure needs are different due to global IT industry challenges from licensing changes, open hardware integration, and digital sovereignty to supporting AI workloads and increased security concerns. This is what open source communities are designed to do, and it’s not surprising that the demand for open source software exceeds $8.8 trillion USD. The OpenInfra community, composed of 110,000 individuals from hundreds of organizations and 187 different countries, is already evolving open source infrastructure technologies including OpenStack, Kata Containers, and StarlingX to manage these recent shifts. Jimmy McArthur will talk about how the OpenInfra community is applying our software formula for open development to drive worldwide innovation in the face of massive disruption. And how you can, too!
