Safety and Open Source Software: Evolution and Future Directions

Explore the intersection of safety and open source software in this 42-minute Birds of a Feather (BoF) session led by Kate Stewart and Shuah Khan from The Linux Foundation. Delve into the evolution of safety considerations in complex software systems, focusing on widely-used open source components like the Linux kernel, ROS middleware, and standard libraries. Learn about the Enabling Linux In Safety Applications (ELISA) Project, launched by The Linux Foundation to address safety-critical concerns in open source software. Engage in discussions about challenges, best practices, and emerging trends in ensuring safety for open source components in critical systems. Gain valuable insights for engineers and project managers working with safety-critical applications that incorporate open source elements.
