Summary

The Linux Foundation released the official agenda for Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2026 (October 7-9 in Prague), an event that will celebrate the 35th anniversary of Linux while mobilizing global leaders to secure modern technological infrastructure.Key event highlights include a featured conversation with Linux and Git creator Linus Torvalds, alongside session tracks exploring open AI and data, digital trust, safety-critical software, cloud native orchestration, embedded Linux, and much more.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced the schedule for Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2026, taking place in Prague, Czechia from October 7-9. This premier event unites open source technology developers, community leaders, and end users to build further innovation on top of the open source foundations of modern infrastructure.

Open source software is a force multiplier for technological sovereignty, economic efficiency, and innovation velocity. With over 40 million lines of code, Linux is a key element in open source software globally, as the largest and most famous project. This year, Linux celebrates 35 years of excellence as a codebase. Historically, open source and Linux unlocked neutrality for those facing vendor lock in, access for users unable to pay steep licensing fees, and now, unrivaled advancement in the pursuit of agentic AI.

“The world’s most important technology is built in the open,” said Jim Zemlin, CEO of the Linux Foundation. “Open Source Summit Europe is where developers, maintainers, and industry leaders come together to solve shared challenges and accelerate innovation.”

Highlights at Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2026 include:

Linus Torvalds, Creator of Linux and Git, in Conversation with Dirk Hohndel, Head of Ericsson Software Technology
In a highly anticipated conversation, Linus and Dirk will discuss the future of vendor-neutral collaboration, developer knowledge sharing, and the latest technological innovations driving the open source ecosystem.

Building and Securing AI Created in the Open
Open source software is critical to all levels of the AI stack, especially as agents are increasingly entrenched in modern tools. As AI agents are further embedded into core business operations, establishing clear guardrails and transparent data access is essential. This track explores proven methods for maintaining security, visibility, and repeatability across multi-agent platforms.

Session Highlight: “Just Keep Swimming: Benchmarking OSS Agent Memory on Kubernetes With OpenTelemetry” – Henrik Rexed, Cloud Native Advocate, Dynatrace

Safety-Critical Software: Reliability at the Core
As open source scales across highly regulated industries and embedded technologies like automotive and consumer electronics, the need for safe, reliable, and compliant code is paramount. This track will explore critical advancements, frameworks, and shared standards required to build software that operates safely in high-stakes environments – such as trusted identities in cryptography, Akrites for secure code, and SBOMs for CRA readiness.

Session Highlight: “ORBIT Launchpad: Building the Due Diligence Bridge Between Manufacturers and Open Source” – Nicole Bates-Callaghan, Principal Technical Program Manager, Microsoft and Sarah Evans, Distinguished Engineer, Dell Technologies

Cloud and Orchestration: Powering Scalable Innovation
Cloud native technologies are vital in delivering the scalability and operational efficiency required to support agentic environments. A fortified, cloud native foundation is exactly what allows companies to confidently transition their AI initiatives from lab experiments into profitable, enterprise-grade solutions.

Session Highlight: “Beyond Immutable Machines – Introducing Cluster API In-Place Updates” – Lennart Jern, Senior Developer, Ericsson Software Technology

Embedded Linux Conference: Advancing Next-Generation Embedded Systems
As embedded systems scale across automotive, aerospace, industrial IoT, and consumer electronics, developers face increasing demands for real-time performance, functional safety compliance, and secure supply chains. Embedded Linux and Zephyr RTOS have become critical to meeting these demands while maintaining the agility and transparency that open source provides. This track explores proven approaches to building reliable, compliant embedded systems that perform at scale.

Session Highlight: “Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Yocto Project Reference Containers” – Tim Orling, Principal Software Engineer, Konsulko Group

Dr. Meyer brings more than thirty years of experience in value-based care, hospital operations, vertical integration, and healthcare quality measurement.

BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cornerstone Research announced today that Gregg S. Meyer, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, has affiliated with the firm.

An expert in healthcare delivery systems, value-based care, and population health management, Dr. Meyer has extensive experience as a health system executive, practicing physician, and healthcare researcher. He has also served as medical director of the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization (MGPO), one of the largest multispecialty medical groups in the United States.

Healthcare antitrust, merger, and vertical integration expertise

Dr. Meyer’s combination of executive leadership, clinical practice, and health policy research positions him to analyze matters involving hospital and physician-group operations, vertical integration, healthcare mergers, physician incentives, quality measurement, and provider contract negotiations, among others.

Dr. Meyer has held concurrent senior leadership roles at the Boston-based Mass General Brigham health system. As president of the Community Division, he oversaw strategy and operations across multiple hospitals, home care services, and physician groups. His work as executive vice president of value-based care integrated the system’s health insurance organization and population health management programs across hospitals, primary care, and ambulatory and urgent care sites.

“Gregg brings a rare breadth of health system leadership: he has run hospital operations, has managed physician groups, and has worked with provider-sponsored health insurance to build a top-tier value-based care program,” said Dina Older Aguilar, senior vice president and cohead of Cornerstone’s healthcare practice. “He knows firsthand how hospitals, insurers, and physician groups actually work together, and that perspective offers clients real insight into healthcare antitrust and merger disputes.”

Healthcare quality leadership and research

Dr. Meyer’s experience also includes work in the federal government. He directed the Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In that capacity, he shaped federal quality agendas and coordinated patient-safety research across government agencies.

A widely published researcher, Dr. Meyer has authored or coauthored more than 100 articles, editorials, chapters, and monographs on topics including healthcare quality measurement, pay-for-performance payment models, medical workforce modeling, and the outcomes of medical procedures.

He has served on national and international committees focused on healthcare quality and safety, among them the World Health Organization’s Scientific Peer Review Group on Health Systems Performance Assessment, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare, and NASA’s Medical Policy Board.

Dr. Meyer holds an M.D., earned magna cum laude, from Albany Medical College and an S.M. from the Harvard School of Public Health. A Rhodes Scholar, he earned an M.Sc. from the University of Oxford and a B.S., summa cum laude, from Union College.
