Three specialist tracks will run alongside the main program at Everything Open 2027:
Hosted by Jeremy Kerr
Covering the development of open source kernels (Linux and others): hardware enablement, project updates, roadmaps, processes, infrastructure, sustainability, and more.
Hosted by Sam Hames
See how the government and public sector are creating, sharing, using, or supporting open data and open technologies. Adversarial interoperability is also in scope for this track!
Hosted by Simon Lyall and Danishka Navin
Learn about the latest technologies, tools, best and emerging practices, and cybersecurity realities for Linux and open technology operations.
Talk proposals for Specialist Tracks were handled via the main Call for Sessions (which is now closed—the number and quality of submissions was fantastic!) Selected presenters receive the same entitlements as main program presenters, including one complimentary full conference ticket.
That’s great and it is now up to the people who propose sessions to prove that in future years, Everything Open could run an extra track and/or potentially pre-conference workshops. We believe that introducing the specialist tracks for 2027 is an opportunity towards achieving that goal for the longer term. The positive responses to the Call for Special Tracks and Call for Sessions is a sign of good things to come in future years.
