USENIX ATC '22 and OSDI '22 Joint Keynote Address - Trustworthy Open Source: The Consequences of Success Eric Brewer, VP Infrastructure, Google Fellow and Professor Emeritus, UC Berkeley Wide-spread use of open-source software is a remarkable achievement, but also creates a tremendous responsibility. How can we collectively step up to ensure open-source software is worthy of the trust the world now expects and deserves? We cover a range of structural and security challenges and how we might address them, including our hopes for a more sustainable future. Eric joined Google in 2011 and leads technical areas including Kubernetes, Serverless, and Anthos. A recent focus is security for open-source software, including supply-chain risks and helping start the OpenSSF. At Berkeley, he led work on cloud computing, network infrastructure, IoT, and the CAP Theorem. He has also led work on technology for developing regions, with projects in India, the Philippines, and Kenya among others, including communications, power, and health care. In 1996, he co-founded Inktomi Corporation and helped lead it onto the NASDAQ 100. In 2000, working with President Clinton, Professor Brewer helped to create USA.gov, the official portal of the Federal government. Major awards include membership in the NAE, AAAS, and AAA(&)S, the ACM Prize in Computing, and the ACM SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award.
