Keynote: Executive Director Update
summary
Open source provides the actual building blocks behind major tech shifts, and rebuilding them would cost $9 trillion replacement cost. The Linux kernel runs in 90% of the world’s computers; about 15,000 critical components power most enterprises. Projects highlighted include PyTorch, Hyperledger for Central Bank digital currency trials, SPDX for SBOMs, Sigstore for package signing and work on decentralized trust after the XZ backdoor caught before release incident. Japan shows lower contribution rates—20% versus ~42–45% globally—so capacity building is underway.
