Laura Abbott,

Most users and developers don’t think too closely about what kernel is running, yet the kernel is a vital piece of software. There’s many choices of what kernel to run, from a well tested enterprise kernel to forward looking community distributions to running your own compiled version. Each of these options has a use case and the choice of kernel can have a big impact on your system. So how do you choose? The focus of this talk is the many ways a kernel can be maintained and what it means for consumers of that kernel. Emphasis will be given to the trade offs of features vs. security vs. ease of management and mistakes you can make when maintaining a kernel.

Kubernetes is evolving to be the hybrid solution for deploying complex workloads on private and public clouds. KubeFlow is an open source project that provides Machine Learning (ML) resources on Kubernetes clusters. This talk will provide an introduction to KubeFlow, and its main components. Kubeflow is an open source platform for developing and running kubernetes-native machine learning workloads. Then, we’ll walk through a small end-to-end example of machine learning using Jupiter notebooks, converting it to a MLJob and using a trained model for machine serving to demonstrate the power of KubeFlow components and its Kubernetes native approach. The session will include a demonstration of a machine learning model for a recommender, suggesting products based on customers’ prior purchases and a products that a company wants to promote. Attendees will learn the basics of KubeFlow, machine learning and how to get involved in the KubeFlow community. Code samples will be provided.

Go behind the scenes at Opensource.com to learn how we are building a community and creating the world's premier open source story telling platform. On average, we publish 90 articles, generate 1.5M page views, and receive 1M unique visits each month. In this session, we'll look at the content strategy and community building efforts for this publication. Attendees will see the nuts-and-bolts of what we do, including the tools, the metrics, and the strategy that’s helped this project grow site traffic by 10-20% year over year. This session will: * Provide details about our content strategy * Outline the value of our community moderator program * Share techniques we use to get community-generated content

You have an open source project. You want to reach developers, open source contributors, maintainers, and community managers. There are only so many hours in the day. What do you do? This panel of open source marketing experts will share their experiences on building organic, authentic marketing programs with useful and best-of-breed content, social media, and digital techniques that gets the message out, engages the community, and builds a following. All with staying within your resource budget of people and dollars. There will also be time for audience engagement in an interactive conversation on best practices we all use in our communications activities.

The Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board (TAB) is an elected group designed to represent the kernel community's interests as part of the Linux Foundation. The TAB has been part of the Linux Foundation since its early days and has worked on wide variety of projects that impact the kernel community, from UEFI specifications to issues with the GPL. Join us for a panel discussion with members of the TAB where they will talk about the work of the TAB how this impacts both kernel community and the wider Linux ecosystem.

Ruth Suehle,

Good code isn't enough for a successful open source project. First of all, only you know how to use what you've made. Maybe it's time for a little UI and UX help? At the very least some documentation! Next, how is anyone else going to find what you've created? And that's only the beginning. Ruth Suehle, manager of Red Hat's Open Source and Standards community leadership team, will take you through examples of the best and the worst, from projects large and small, to help you see what you need beyond your code to build a successful open source project and community.
