Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting Europe 2026

Projects like ELISA and Zephyr have helped move functional safety to the forefront of the open source ecosystem. As a mature project with more than two decades of history, the Xen Project faces a different challenge: how do you evolve an existing codebase, development process, and contributor community to support safety-critical use cases?

This session shares lessons from the Xen Project’s ongoing safety journey, from improving development processes and documentation to producing reusable safety artifacts and collaborating across organizations. Along the way, we’ll discuss the practical challenges, engineering tradeoffs, and community decisions that come with evolving an established open source project.

Whether your project is just beginning its safety journey or is already supporting safety-critical systems, you’ll leave with practical ideas that can help any mature open source community prepare for what’s next.
