Explore the journey of the Xen Project towards safety certification in highly regulated industries, particularly the automotive sector, in this 44-minute conference talk. Delve into the motivations, challenges, and progress made in achieving safety certification for open-source software. Learn about the technical enablers, necessary process and tooling changes, and community challenges faced by the Xen Project. Discover the project's approach to safety certification, including the initial scope, development model, and key considerations such as traceability, documentation, and validation. Gain insights into the importance of virtualization in embedded use cases, the ecosystem impact, and the unique challenges of retrofitting open-source projects for safety certification. Understand the project's strategy for community scalability and credible planning through user stories and a split development model.
