Open Source Summit North America 2027

Open Source Summit North America 2027 runs 17-19 May 2027 in Vancouver, British Columbia, under the banner 'Code. Community. Collaboration.' The Linux Foundation describes it as the premier conference for open source developers, technologists and community leaders to collaborate, share information and learn, furthering open source innovation and ensuring a sustainable open source ecosystem. Open Source Summit is an umbrella event: one registration covers parallel conference tracks that, across its regional editions, span the Linux kernel, cloud and orchestration, packaging and software supply-chain security, safety-critical software, digital trust, and the Open AI + Data track covering open models, AI code generation, RAG and LLM frameworks, inferencing and edge AI. The 2027 North America programme, call for proposals and pass prices have not yet been published.

• ✓Open source program office (OSPO) leads
• ✓Platform and infrastructure engineers
• ✓Linux kernel and systems developers
• ✓CTOs and VPs of Engineering
• ✓Security and software supply-chain architects
• ✓AI/ML engineers working with open models
• ✓Open source project maintainers

For a CTO or OSPO lead this is the one week a year when the maintainers of the software your platform actually runs on are in the same building. You leave with a read on where the open model and inferencing stack is heading, who maintains each component in your supply chain, and what the compliance picture looks like for shipping open models inside a regulated product. Because the event is vendor-neutral, comparisons between competing projects happen on the record rather than in a sponsor booth, and direct hiring conversations with maintainers are a realistic side-effect of attending.

• ✓Open AI + Data track — open models, AI code generation, RAG and LLM frameworks, inferencing and edge AI
• ✓Linux track — filesystems, kernel development, tracing, security, virtualization, networking and Rust
• ✓Cloud & Orchestration track — cloud infrastructure, cloud-native application development and security
• ✓Packages, Images & Containers track — package management, container images, build pipelines and supply-chain security
• ✓OSS Enabling & Management track — operations management, project leadership, standards and technical documentation
• ✓Open Source 101 beginner track — kernel essentials, Linux and cloud administration, AI and quantum computing
• ✓Safety-Critical Software track — safety standards, regulatory best practice and safety engineering

• ★Vendor-neutral by charter — the Linux Foundation runs it, so the agenda is not a product roadmap
• ★An umbrella event: one badge covers many parallel tracks and co-located micro-conferences rather than a single subject
• ★The Open AI + Data track is one of the few open-model, open-tooling AI programmes not organised by a model vendor
• ★Announced roughly two years ahead, which is unusual for a commercial technology conference and makes it plannable against a fiscal-year travel budget
