State of the (LF) Edge Summit @ OSS/ELC NA

If you are attending Open Source Summit or Embedded Linux Conference North America, located in San Diego on August 21-23, we invite you to a LF Edge Summit before the conference begins!

Thought leaders from our 70+ member companies will provide an overview of LF Edge, share insight into the open source projects that fall within the umbrella and review what our technical roadmaps looks like. There will be an open forum for collaboration and networking opportunities – if you’re interested in edge, this is the perfect place to learn more and ask questions from the best.
