Keynote sessions from the 2015 Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit will stream live Feb. 18, with topics including the kernel, IoT, drones, and lots more.

The Linux Foundation describes its annual Collaboration Summit as a gathering of its corporate members along with invited participants including core kernel developers, distribution maintainers, ISVs, end users, system vendors, and representatives of community organizations. This year’s Summit takes place Feb. 18-20 in Santa Rosa, Calif., and is expected to draw more than 450 participants.

Summit attendees participate in plenary sessions and workgroup meetings devoted to “technical issues, the business of open source, best practices in collaborative development, and how to grow open source communities,” says the LF.
