OCS is an event for Linux Foundation members and select invitees to discuss process management and automation related to open source license compliance, security assurance and adjacent subjects. This is the world’s foremost venue to discuss and network around these topics. Our goal is to ensure the global supply chain works effectively and efficiently.

The OpenSearch community is coming together to learn and connect about all things search and analytics. The event is in-person only, and there is no fee for speakers to attend. This one-day event is co-located with Open Source Summit Japan and is designed to bring together builders from across the global community to celebrate the success of the OpenSearch Project and look to the future of search, analytics, and generative AI.

Suggested Topics
Search: Connect with other search and relevance practitioners with demos, deep dives, or new and novel techniques for building rich search applications.

Analytics, Security, and Observability: Deploying observability tools at scale? Using OpenSearch to turn log data into insights, or to help protect your infrastructure? We want to hear from you!

Community: Engage a community of builders on a topic that means something to you. Anything that might educate and inspire a community of open search technologists is up for consideration here.

Operating OpenSearch: Have you built out an implementation of OpenSearch? Do you use OpenSearch in a solution that helps your own business or project? Share how you operate OpenSearch.

We would like to rotate live demos and poster sessions from those selected through the CFP process (presenters will be able to select from available time slots); a full event pass to attend the OCP Global event will be provided to those presenting. For individuals unable to attend, we will offer the option of a pre-recorded demo or poster that will be hosted on the P4 website.

We welcome innovative and thought provoking talks and perspectives. A few areas of particular interest to the P4 community to consider are: 

+ P4 language

+ P4 targets

+ P4 tool chain

+ P4 use cases, applications and research

+ Control plane or network OS for P4 targets

+ Extensions to P4

+ Cross-cutting work between P4 and related systems such as eBPF, service meshes, and AI systems (e.g. in-network support for AI training and inference)
