About Open Source Summit India 2026
Open Source Summit India 2026 is the Linux Foundation’s flagship open source event for the region, landing in Mumbai on 16–17 June 2026.
This is the premier gathering for open source developers, engineers, and community leaders to collaborate, share knowledge, and push the ecosystem forward. If you work with Linux, cloud native infrastructure, containers, embedded systems, or open AI — this conference has dedicated tracks for all of it.
I’m genuinely looking forward to this one. The session lineup is solid, the speaker roster is strong, and it’s two focused days of practical content you can actually bring back to your work.
Why This Event Stands Out
Open Source Summit India is not just another tech conference. It is the gathering place for open source contributors, maintainers, and practitioners — with the depth and credibility of the Linux Foundation behind it.
This year’s edition has a few things that make it especially worth attending:
Linus Torvalds is on the keynote stage. On June 16, Linus Torvalds — creator of Linux and Git — will be in conversation with Dirk Hohndel, Founder of DH Consulting, on the main stage. That alone is a rare opportunity for anyone who works on or with Linux.
Greg Kroah-Hartman is presenting. The Linux kernel maintainer and Linux Foundation Fellow will deliver a keynote and host an Ask the Expert session focused on the Linux kernel.
The session topics are practical. Linux kernel contribution, cloud native security, AI with MCP, container supply chain security, embedded systems, decentralized identity — these are not abstract conference talks. They are sessions built around things practitioners deal with on the job.
Conference Tracks
Open Source Summit India 2026 covers 11 dedicated tracks:
- CI/CD
- Cloud & Orchestration
- Embedded
- Linux for Emerging Countries
- Linux
- Next Gen Open Technologies and Vertical Market Enablers
- Open AI & Data
- Open Source 101 (LF Education)
- OSS Enabling & Management
- Packages, Images, & Containers

There is enough breadth here for engineers across disciplines — from kernel contributors to platform engineers to AI/ML practitioners.

Final Thoughts
Open Source Summit India 2026 has the kind of lineup that makes it worth clearing your calendar. Linus Torvalds on stage, Greg Kroah-Hartman running an AMA on the Linux kernel, 11 technical tracks, and two days of content built by and for practitioners.
Early Bird is closed, but the TECHBEATLY discount code brings the price down to $99 / ₹9,000 INR — a significant saving off the standard $165 rate.
Register early. Events like this fill up.
