Jim Zemlin, Executive Director at The Linux Foundation, said,

“Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference has always been the go-to event for the entire open source community. While we strongly believe in the power of face-to-face collaboration, we’re excited to create an all new, virtual experience where important content can be shared by an incredible line-up of speakers and the open source community can collaborate together to continue to propel open source technologies and methodologies forward.”
