From Kernel To CoPilot: Microsoft's Open Source by Lachlan Evenson

Description

From Kernel To CoPilot: Microsoft's Open Source by Lachlan Evenson Open source is the engine driving Microsoft’s innovation across cloud and AI. In this keynote, we’ll explore how Microsoft’s deep commitment to open source has evolved from contributing to the Linux kernel to building AI services that run at global scale. You’ll hear how open source technologies power mission-critical workloads across Azure and GitHub, and how Microsoft became the largest cloud provider contributor to Cloud Native Compute Foundation projects. We’ll also spotlight new initiatives like Radius, Dalec, and Copacetic that reflect our vision for a more collaborative, cloud-native future. Join us to see how open source is shaping the next generation of infrastructure and developer experience. 💡 Watch the entire interview All Things Open keynote playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6kQg8bP1Ji4I8UnlzuHJ36xqy70lzW24 ### 👩‍🚀 All Things Open 2026 is happening October 18-20, 2026 | https://2026.allthingsopen.org/ ### About We Love Open Source We Love Open Source is an open source community educational hub that includes blogs, interviews, presentations, podcasts, how-to's, and more, from the All Things Open community members: * Start reading: https://allthingsopen.org/articles * How to contribute: https://allthingsopen.org/welcome-to-we-love-open-source About All Things Open All Things Open is a universe of open source events and platforms designed to educate and connect technologists around the world.
