Join Stefano Maffulli, Mark Collier & Thierry Carrez on #OpenInfra Live to learn more about the Open Source Initiative (OSI)'s Open Source AI definition v1.0. Bring questions you may have, gain insights into the future of AI in an open source context, and hear how you can engage with and contribute to this evolving field. https://lnkd.in/gM3YjN8x

AI has rapidly disrupted the global IT industry, and the open source ecosystem is no exception. In October, after more than a year of global engagement with various stakeholders, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) published v1.0 of an Open Source AI Definition. In this OpenInfra Live episode, our panelists will discuss the OSI's approach to defining open source AI, emphasizing transparency, accessibility, and collaboration in AI development. The session will also highlight how the definition aligns with the broader goals of fostering innovation. Bring questions you may have around the definition as well as its ongoing evolution, and gain insights into the future of AI in an open source context and how you can engage with and contribute to this evolving field.

In the latest My Open Source Experience (MOSE) episode from Ildiko Vancsa and Phil Robb where they host Gregory Kurtzer, gain insights on the secrets to form and maintain (large) open source projects over time, the consequences of deviating from the upstream version of an open source project, and more!

The Linux ecosystem is much broader than just the Linux kernel, and, if you are using any kind of a Linux operating system, you are depending on it! Do you know what goes into a Linux distribution? Do you know how they are built, and anything about the communities that build them? In this week's MOSE podcast episode, Phil Robb and I are talking to Gregory Kurtzer, the (co-)founder of CAOS, CentOS and Rocky Linux. Gregory started his career in biochemistry and in this episode, he shares what motivated him to transition over and stay in the Linux ecosystem early on. His Linux distro projects grew large very rapidly, which was challenging to manage at times. Learn more about Gregory's learnings and insights on topics, such as - how Linux distributions are built - the secrets to forming and maintaining (large) open source projects - the consequences of deviating from the upstream version of an open source project, and how this affects you as a Linux user and more!
