Keynote: From AI Runtime to System Agents: Reimagining Linux for the AI Era with openKylin - Qingbo Wu, openKylin Advisory Committee Member & Technical Committee Chair
Thursday October 8, 2026 09:25 - 09:35 CEST
Congress Hall (Floor 2)
As on-device foundation models, AI PCs and agentic applications converge, AI is evolving from an application-layer capability into a foundational service increasingly embedded within the operating system. For Linux distributions, the challenge is no longer simply hosting models, but providing reusable AI infrastructure that bridges model capabilities with real system functions.

openKylin is exploring this shift from "AI on OS" to "AI for OS". Its AI subsystem provides a unified runtime, inference services and developer interfaces, while a system-level agent framework exposes operating system capabilities as structured, verifiable tools, enabling bounded and auditable interactions with the desktop.
This session shares openKylin's architectural approach to operating systems in the age of AI, covering heterogeneous models and hardware support, abstraction of OS services into agent-accessible tools, and mechanisms for trustworthy execution through least-privilege design, policy enforcement and auditability. It also examines how Linux distributions may evolve beyond traditional software platforms into open, trusted and extensible foundations for intelligent computing.

Keynote: Red Hat Hardened Images: Zero CVEs, Zero Cost - N. Harrison Ripps, Director of Engineering, Red Hat
Thursday October 8, 2026 09:45 - 09:50 CEST
Congress Hall (Floor 2)
The volume of CVEs has become impossible to manage by hand. Nearly 50,000 were tracked last year — 130 a day — and no team can triage, backport, and patch at that pace without dropping something critical.

Red Hat Hardened Images take a fundamentally different approach: minimal, distro-less containers built as close to upstream as possible on a fully automated supply chain. The result is zero known CVEs at time of delivery — without a human in the loop until one is truly needed.

In five minutes, you'll learn what "hardened images" actually means in practice, how the automated supply chain delivers security at scale, and how to start using production-ready hardened images today at no cost.

Keynote: Scaling the Shield - Turning AI-Driven Vulnerabilities into a Massive Defensive Advantage - Jamie Thomas, Chief Client Innovation Officer | Enterprise Security, IBM
Thursday October 8, 2026 10:00 - 10:15 CEST
Congress Hall (Floor 2)
Open source has been the single greatest accelerator of productivity in modern software development. As AI reshapes how software is built, and attacked, the priority is clear: we must use AI to reduce friction for maintainers, not create more work. Today, maintainers face a surge of AI-generated vulnerability reports that risks overwhelming the very people who sustain the global software supply chain. This keynote examines how the open source community (OpenSSF in particular) is turning AI from a source of noise into a force multiplier for defenders.


Jamie Thomas will highlight how maintainer-centered AI tooling, shared standards, and practical security techniques are being applied to restore balance at scale. These efforts focus on making security more actionable, automated, and sustainable, ensuring open source remains a resilient, trusted foundation for global innovation.


Join us as we outline a roadmap for systemic resilience, where the global community puts cutting-edge AI capabilities directly into the hands of maintainers to secure the software on which we all depend.
