Open Source SecurityCon EU 2026
2026-03-23 | RAI Amsterdam, Europaplein 24, Amsterdam, 1078 GZ, Netherlands
Open Source SecurityCon is a new event that fosters collaboration and shares innovation in cloud native security and open source software security. Sessions will cover architecture and policy, secure software development, supply chain security, identity and access, and open source public policy. The 1-day event will gather a diverse community of professionals to include software developers, security engineers, public sector experts, CISOs, CIOs, and tech pioneers to address challenges and opportunities in modern security. It is hosted by CNCF and OpenSSF and is co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe.

The Rust Foundation’s Director of Outreach, Lori Lorusso, will be presenting the following lightning talk at the event:

“A Case Study in Cross-Ecosystem Security Response”
“Companies use multiple open source projects and programming languages in their product stack creating a potential ‘wheel of misfortune’ when thinking about the rise in software supply chain attacks. Taking it one step further malicious actors are targeting programming languages to get to the core of how products are built. The rise in attacks at the programming language level seen as recently as September 2025 has amplified the need for cross communication between language ecosystems. Using the phishing attacks on Rust and Python as a case study we will show how Alpha-Omega facilitated stronger links between ecosystems, specifically the Rust Foundation and Python Software Foundation (grantees of Alpha-Omega) and how this helped improve security response times and outcomes when the phishing attacks were launched.”

JetBrains | Rust Foundation AI Livestream Series - Building AI applications in Rust
2026-08-27 07:00 - 08:00
Rust is rapidly becoming a serious platform for building AI-powered systems, but what does shipping real LLM applications in Rust actually look like day to day? How do agents, tooling, and workflows come together in practice?
In this livestream, Rust Developer Advocate Orhun Parmaksız is joined by Stephen Korzeniewski, Lead Maintainer of Rig at 0xPlaygrounds, to explore how Rust and AI meet in real-world development. They’ll walk through how Rig fits into the Rust + AI ecosystem and how Stephen uses it to build modular, scalable and ergonomic LLM-powered applications in Rust.
If you’re interested in using Rust for AI, building agents, or understanding what modern Rust+LLM workflows look like in practice, this session offers a deep dive from the person leading one of the most active Rust AI frameworks.
Watch the stream Thursday, August 27 at 14:00 UTC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEdw04FR0DU
Speaker bio:
Stephen Korzeniewski is the Lead Maintainer of Rig at 0xPlaygrounds, building modular and scalable Rust tooling for LLM applications. A long-time Rust developer with a love for terminals, roguelikes, computational linguistics, and AI, he focuses on making agentic and LLM-driven workflows ergonomic and production-ready in Rust.
Be sure to join us on the 27th and stay tuned for our next session featuring Symposium, Rust Innovation Lab’s second accepted project. Symposium makes Rust dependencies actionable for AI agents. It discovers crate-matched plugins and wires in skills, hooks, and MCP servers so your agent can work with project-specific context.
