this is a really interesting conference in the heart of Europe - in Luxembourg:
the topics:
Open Source software and Digital Sovereignty
Following a very successful first edition of the Open Source Conference in combination with the LibreOffice Conference, this year we invite you to participate to discover how organisations and institutions from the EU and around the world use and contribute to Open Source software.
Open Source software, together with data sovereignty, form the basis to achieve Digital Sovereignty as an inclusive effort where all the participants cooperate to create the tools we need to protect our data while sharing the technologies that improve everyone?s digital lives.
This year?s main tracks provide the opportunity to share the experiences of those that have chosen to produce and implement Open Source tools and platforms that improve security, resilience and data protection
Public sector
The public sector has always been one of the major market drivers for the acquisition and implementation of many technologies and standards.
More recently various public sector organisations and institutions have become not only users of Open Source software but also active participants in the development and funding of many projects. Let?s hear from some of the involved parties about their journey from being passive users of technologies to being active contributors to small and large projects and how their Open Source Programme Office (OSPO) helped with the transition.
Artificial Intelligence
Despite the hype and the recreational uses of new tools that make intensive use of power hungry GPUs there are many areas where Large Language Models (LLMs) and Algorithmic Inference (aka Artificial Intelligence or AI) can bring real benefit to organisations and society.
To make these systems effective they need to ingest large amount of data which often include personal and sensitive information making offerings from hyperscalers unsuitable for many uses.
Many Open Source projects aim to democratise AI allowing small and large organisation to benefit from these new tools while protecting the data being used and reducing the environmental impact of these technologies
Cyber Security
In a world where practically every device is or has a built in computer security should be the main concern for everyone. Open Source software helps in reducing the attack surface but it still requires experts that hunts for potential vulnerabilities and coordinate eventual
EdTech
LibreOffice is not only a Free and Open Source office suite, is also an educational project that can also be used to teach how to contribute to large projects in many ways.
