The Linux Foundation Member Summit 2020

OpenDaylight started in early 2013 as one of the first forays of the networking industry into the world of open source software under the Linux Foundation. It was heralded industry wide as an effort where Network Goliaths and upstarts Davids collaborate to deliver the promise of Software Defined Networking (SDN). The project is a founding member of LF Networking (LFN), an entity that integrates the governance of participating open source networking projects. Seven years from the formation, Abhijit Kumbhare, the OpenDaylight TSC Chair and someone who was involved since the inception will recount the journey of the project from being the upstart challenger to being a mature project. He will provide the insights on how the project has evolved its governance over the years to sustain and thrive in a changing landscape as well as how it provided a blueprint to other open source networking efforts.
