“The Linux Foundation events continue to stay 2 steps ahead of the leading edge in innovation and deliver technical education,
networking and best practices like no other show. What I also like is the ability to connect with key people and not feel overwhelmed

March 6-8, 2018 | Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, Sonoma Valley, CA
Where industry leaders convene to drive digital

transformation with open source technologies and
learn how to collaboratively manage the largest
shared technology investment of our time.
Open source is ubiquitous in computing—nearly all leading organizations use it to power their work. To deliver
innovative products and services to their users and customers, companies must learn directly from the senior
technologists and thought leaders who steer the most widely used and influential projects.
The Linux Foundation Open Source Leadership Summit (OSLS) is the premier forum where these leaders convene
to drive digital transformation with open source technologies and learn how to collaboratively manage the largest
shared technology investment of our time.
An intimate, by-invitation only event, Open Source Leadership Summit fosters innovation, growth and partnerships
among the leading projects and corporations working in open technology development. It is a must-attend for
business and technical leaders looking to advance open source strategy, implementation and investment.
The Linux Foundation is home to more than 100 of the most important open source projects in the world, including
Automotive Grade Linux, Cloud Foundry Foundation, Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Hyperledger, Node.js, Open
Network Automation Platform and many more. Participation in Open Source Leadership Summit by senior leaders of
these projects makes it an event that defines the future of software development and innovation.
“The only event where I can meet all of the key leaders across the open source
cloud computing projects in person. The chance to talk in person, share aspirations
and wrestle with new ideas this year have already resulted in collaboration...
The institutional knowledge about open source represented by the participants is
inspiring. This is an event that can help us build a better software industry.”
SAM RAMJI, VP PRODUCT MANAGEMENT, GOOGLE

OPEN NETWORKING //
Integrate, Automate, Accelerate
March 26-29, 2018 | Intercontinental Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA
The industry’s premier open networking event brings together

enterprises, carriers and cloud service providers across the
ecosystem to share learnings, highlight innovation and discuss
the future of Open Source Networking.
ONS is the largest, most comprehensive and most innovative Networking and Orchestration event in the
world. This is the only industry event where attendees can:
• Hear from industry visionaries and leaders on the future of Networking beyond SDN/NFV
• Attend deep technical tracks on topics that are here today, tomorrow and on the horizon
• Learn from the use cases of your peers as consumption of Open Source Networking is the “new norm”
and mandated by most Enterprise CIOs, Carrier CTOs and Cloud Executives
For the past seven years, ONS has united the networking industry ecosystem of network operators, both
disruptive and incumbent vendors, open source projects, leading researchers and investors to discuss
breaking SDN and NFV developments for immediate impact to shape the future of the networking industry.
As a Linux Foundation event, ONS continues to build on its successes as the premier open source
networking event sharing the future of SDN/NFV/Orchestration by further growing the community and
accelerating adoption of these technologies. We have optimized 2018 for DevOps & Technical tracks, as well
as Business/Executive Leadership tracks across the Ecosystem.
ONS 2018 is the best forum for companies to strengthen their brand, establish thought leadership, connect
with both end customers and partners, showcase innovative products and drive the transformation in the
emerging open source networking industry.
“ONS is the landmark SDN show right now and it’s a unique
show that brings together many different aspects of the
industry. It covers telco adoption, cloud adoption, there is
more and more discussion of what enterprises of varying
sizes—starting with the largest and starting in verticals like
financial services—will do with SDN. Of course, the vendors
across all those markets are here.” - BRAD CASEMORE

The Linux Storage, Filesystem & Memory

Management Summit gathers the foremost
development and research experts and kernel
subsystem maintainers...
to map out and implement improvements to the Linux filesystem, storage
and memory management subsystems that will find their way into the
mainline kernel and Linux distributions in the next 24-48 months.
This three day invitation-only workshop is a community event underwritten and managed by The Linux
Foundation. A nomination process takes place annually in order to decide which 85 people will be invited to attend
in the coming year.
Sponsoring this event not only showcases your company’s support of those developers and researchers at the

The Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC)

is a developer conference for the open
source community.
The LPC brings together the top developers working on the “plumbing”
of Linux — kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing systems, etc.
— and gives them three days to work together on core design problems.
The conference is divided into several working sessions focusing on different

“plumbing” topics, as well as a general paper track.
LPC launched in 2008 at the behest of the community and continues to provide a space where
developers working in subsystems can come together to solve problems real-time. 450 developers
gather annually for this event; the conference is limited to this number of people for maximum
collaboration opportunities.
