Three specialist tracks will run alongside the main program: one on each day.
The specialist tracks for Everything Open 2027 are:
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 Simon Lyall and Danishka Navin
Learn about the latest technologies, tools, best and emerging practices, and cybersecurity realities for Linux and open technology operations.
When thinking about submitting for this track, please keep in mind that Austalia already has a lot of security-focused conferences. Propose something that isn’t/wouldn’t be covered there.
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!
Talk proposals for Specialist Tracks will be handled via the main Call for Sessions, which will open very soon! 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. Being inundated with lots of really good quality proposals is a “problem” that the program selection committee would love to have again. We are positive: if the call for Specialist Tracks was anything to go by, we’re in for a great harvest!
