The RISC-V Summit Europe is the premier event that connects the European movers and shakers – from industry, government, research, academia and ecosystem support – that are building the future of innovation on RISC-V.
RISC-V, the open standard instruction set architecture (ISA), is enabling a range of new applications and research that will define the future of computing in Europe. The region has been central to RISC-V’s success, with one-third of RISC-V’s global community based in Europe.
RISC-V Summit Europe takes place from Monday 24th to Friday 28th June, 2024. The combination of strong industrial and academic communities is key to the success of RISC-V in Europe, and for this reason the conference is designed to help attendees to explore both commercial and research applications.
RISC-V Summit Europe is an opportunity not to be missed. Come to Munich to be part of the new wave of European computing innovation!

OSPOs for Good 2024
2024-07-09 08:00 - 2024-07-10 17:00 | United Nations Headquarters, New York, 405 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017, United States
The second edition of the OSPOs for Good symposium is set to be a multi-day conference held on 9th and 10th July 2024, with a richer global presence of diverse open source thinkers, with bigger ambitions and strides for championing OSPOs as a global network for good.
By building on the success of last year’s event, the goal of the 2024 conference is to be ‘bigger and better’ in every way. This action symposium aims to serve as a high-level coming out party for open source in the UN system, delivering high-level thematic tracks that address key areas of open source policy, as well as highlighting emerging examples of ‘open source for good’ from across the globe. It will prominently highlight the theme of ‘open source networks as enablers of global cooperation’.
While the 2024 conference will of course focus on the role of Open Source Programme Offices (OSPOs) like last year’s event, this conference will expand the scope to focus on how the conversation around OSPOs are enabling new forms of global cooperation around open source for good in countries.

Abstracts:
Reusable Rancher: Deploying and Operating in Automation
In this talk we’ll show you how to get started automating Rancher, from server to multi-cluster apps. We’ll be using a cloud managed Kubernetes service and a CI/CD platform – plus tools like Helm and Terraform – to demo how you can deploy and operate Rancher in automation, developer playground to production.
Building a Secure Kubernetes Service for Private Telco Cloud
In the Telco industry, demand on private cloud is shifting from hosting VNFs (Virtualised Network Functions) increasingly to CNFs (Containerised Network Functions). This presentation puts forward an approach to building a substrate agnostic managed Kubernetes service, orchestrated with Rancher for use across existing on prem cloud environments and expanding to bare metal workload clusters. We explore the unique security challenges faced by telco operators and propose a robust architecture that integrates advanced security measures, including network segmentation, encryption, and access control. By leveraging open source virtualisation and Kubernetes components, a solution can be provided that is reliable but flexible to meet the complex network needs of telco CNF applications, or, for example, run a data platform monitoring and analysing network events. We aim to provide an overview of the approach to component choice, cluster builds with GitOps CI/CD and the supporting platforms required to drive adoption of a managed Kubernetes platform.
