Open Source 5G Ecosystem Solutions on Display at ONE Summit, as US Government Hosts Security Mini Summit
5G Super Blueprint comes to life at ONE Summit with live a keynote demonstration of network slicing in 5G, and 6 pavilion demonstrations of new blueprints, use cases, and ecosystem solutions ONE Summit to feature Mini Summit by the US Government, Enabling Secure, Open, and Programmable 5G NetworksRegister today to join the community and see the demonstrations at the Open Networking & Edge Summit virtual experience, October 10-11
SAN FRANCISCO, October 5, 2021 – LF Networking (LFN), which facilitates collaboration and operational excellence across open source networking projects, today announced its 5G Super Blueprint initiative will host use case demonstrations across 5G, edge, IoT, and cloud native during Open Networking & Edge (ONE) Summit + Kubernetes on Edge Day, October 11-12, 2021.
The 5G Super Blueprint is a community-driven integration of multiple open source initiatives that, collaboratively, demonstrate end-to-end use cases of end user implementation architectures. LFN creates a framework based on these integrated initiatives and projects to then develop blueprints, defined by a community-driven process that allows end-to-end solution use cases across vertical markets.
“The open source networking ecosystem is bringing collaboration to life at ONE Summit,” said Heather Kirksey, vice president, Community & Ecosystem Development, the Linux Foundation. “What started as an integration demo for a basic residential broadband use case five short years ago has now evolved into a framework for creating collaborative, end-to-end solutions for the 5G ecosystem. I am incredibly proud of the community for all the progress it’s achieved to date, and I cannot wait to see what comes next.”
Building on the long-running 5G cloud native network demo workstream, the LF Networking community has fortified the 5G Super Blueprint foundation by adding network slicing. Based on the ONAP Honolulu release, this proof concept demonstrates an open source approach to improving QoS in 5G networks by optimizing resources and network topologies for 5G use cases, providing network operators improved performance and greater flexibility. The demo will also showcase a custom Network Slice Subnet Management Function (NSSMF) that was developed as part of this effort.
Linux Foundation Demo Pavilion
The open source networking and edge ecosystems will demonstrate ecosystem innovations around the 5G Super Blueprint and more during ONE Summit, via the Linux Foundation Demo Pavilion. Seven demos from multiple open source projects and communities will be on display, with the developers who created them available to answer questions throughout the event. Illustrating a breadth of technologies surrounding the 5G ecosystem and beyond, the demos will cover:
5G Super Blueprint: 5G Cloud Native Network Adds Network Slicing (LF Networking, LF Edge, ONAP, Anuket, DPDK, EMCO)Akraino Blueprints: Integrated Cloud Native Private Wireless (LF Edge, Akraino)Enabling future-proof and Open Edge App Management in Retail (LF Edge, EdgeX Foundry, Open Horizon, Secure Device Onboard)LF Edge + Project Alvarium: Building Trust in Interconnected Ecosystems (LF Edge, Project Alvarium, EVE)Introducing L3AF, a Platform to Launch and Manage eBPF Programs (L3AF)O-RAN/OSC/ONAP-Based Multi-Operator/Multi-Vendor Resource Pooling & RAN Slicing in Disaster Scenarios (LF Networking, ONAP, ORAN-SC) Magma: Zero-touch Magma Automation With LFN EMCO (Magma, EMCO)
More details, including descriptions of each demo, are available here.
US Government Mini Summit
The US GOV OPS mini summit, which takes place Oct. 11 from 2:00 – 4:50 PM PST, will examine requirements and progress of 5G, edge, and IoT technologies within enterprise and government entities. Hosted by NWIC Pacific division of the United States Navy and led by Doug Evans, Neil Hoff and Andrew Leidy from the Department of the Navy, the program will cover use cases and solutions that rely on the foundations of open source networking, edge, and cloud project communities (including LF Networking, LF Edge, CNCF, Kubernetes, Magma, and more). Specific discussion topics include:
Introduction to United States Government Open Programmable Secure (US-GOV OPS) initiative within the Linux Foundation Overview of DARPA’s Open, Programmable, Secure 5G (OPS-5G) project The Linux Foundation’s 5G Super BlueprintDiscussion of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) for Research & Engineering’s 5G initiative, and the Multi-site OPS-5G Joint Independent Test Option (MOJITO) project
Registration to this mini-summit is included in the overall conference registration.
These are but a few of the informative workshops, keynotes, and sessions designed to propel the open networking industry further.

The 2021 State of Open Source in Financial Services: Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS)
Linux Foundation Research has released the following report, in partnership with the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS)
Abstract: The increased prevalence, importance, and value of open source is well understood and widely reported by many industry surveys and studies. However, the rate at which different industries acknowledge this shift and adapt their own business and technology practices to capitalize on open source opportunities differs considerably.
The financial services industry has been a long-time consumer of open source software. At the same time, open source software and standards development have not been activities at the core of financial services industry business models and technology strategies. Consequently, the levels of contribution to – and publishing of – open source, in software development, or in terms of allocating staff resources, are still in their infancy.
This report identifies the extent to which the financial services industry is active in open source, creating a baseline of understanding of governance, leadership, consumption, contribution, culture, and overall open source aspiration. Further, the report highlights the obstacles and challenges to improving industry-wide collaboration and concludes with a set of actionable insights for improving the state of open source in financial services.

VIDEO: Build Change Project
Build Change is a global initiative helping communities to prepare and recover from disasters like earthquakes. Its mission is to prevent housing loss caused by disasters by transforming the systems that regulate, finance, build and improve houses worldwide.
VIDEO: Lura Project
In this interview, we sat down with Albert Lombarte, Executive Director of the Lura Project at the Linux Foundation to learn more about the project. Essentially, Lura is an Open Source API Gateway Framework created by KrakenD and contributed to the Linux Foundation. It’s one of the most important projects at the foundation as we live in an API-driven world. “An API Gateway Framework is a tool that is between the clients, the consumers of an API, and the backend services, which actually have the data that the users want to consume,” explains Lombarte. “So an API Gateway is a product that makes possible things like security, where rate-limiting, authorization, load balancing, all of that happens without needing to implement that in the backend part.“
