SDN, IoT, Drones on the Menu for the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit

Drones, the Internet of Things (IoT) and software-defined networking (SDN) are all on the agenda for the Linux Foundation‘s upcoming Collaboration Summit, which will help set the tone for open source development in the new year. Read on for a look at the highlights of the event.

The Linux Foundation confirmed several keynote speakers and panel discussions for the summit this week. They include:

  • A keynote by Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics.  Anderson will speak on the Dronecode project, a collaborative effort to build open source code to power drones that launched in the fall.

  • A panel on the Internet of Things (IoT) that will “cover the impact of connecting everything on business models, and challenges of building connected products, including Jevons Paradox,” according to the Linux Foundation.

  • A panel composed of representatives from the OpenStack cloud computing project, the OpenDaylight SDN initiative, and OPNFV, the open source network-functions virtualization project.  The discussion will focus on the future of the open source cloud and next-generation networking.
