Talk #1:
Open Edge Platform & Edge Manageability Framework (Krishnamurthy Jambur, Principal Engineer, Intel, and Andrei Palade, Cloud Orchestration Software Engineer, Intel)
Edge computing brings processing closer to where data is generated, enabling faster speeds, higher volumes, and real-time, action-driven results. But this shift introduces new challenges: how do you manage millions of diverse nodes, deploy workloads efficiently, and keep everything secure and observable?
In this talk, we’ll present the Open Edge Platform, a portfolio of solutions for Edge AI, an edge-optimized reference operating system (Edge Microvisor Toolkit on Azure Linux), and infrastructure management. We’ll dive into Edge Manageability Framework (EMF): an open-source project that demonstrates how to manage fleets of edge nodes, Kubernetes clusters, and applications at scale. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a live demo of device onboarding and lifecycle management in action.
If you’re curious about how open-source tools can tame the complexity of the edge, this session is for you.

Talk #2:
From Recipes to Users — Distributing Cooklang apps on Linux (Alex Dubowski)
Cooklang started as a fun idea: a plain-text language for recipes that programmers could version-control, edit, and share. But once the CLI and desktop app were ready, the next challenge began — getting it into the hands of Linux users.
In this talk, I’ll share lessons learned while distributing Cooklang tools across different Linux environments — from .deb and .rpm packages to AppImage. We’ll explore what each channel gets right (and wrong), how to automate releases, and what “good Linux citizenship” really means when shipping software today.
Whether you’re building your own side project or maintaining an open-source tool, you’ll leave with practical tips for packaging, signing, and delivering software across the diverse Linux ecosystem.
