2025 #OpenInfra Community Highlight: The OpenInfra Summit Europe served as the year’s centerpiece for visibility, convening global contributors, operators, researchers, and industry leaders. The sold-out event of 1,200 attendees emphasized resilience, digital sovereignty, AI infrastructure, and the importance of open alternatives to proprietary cloud platforms.

2025 was a milestone year for #opensource as #OpenInfra joined the @linuxfoundation. This unification brings the @OpenStack and OpenInfra communities alongside Linux and Kubernetes, strengthening collaboration and accelerating open source innovation.

Montag, 6:15 Uhr. Die Kaffeemaschine kämpft. Die Welt ruckelt. Und die KI ist wach.
Warum eigentlich?
Große Sprachmodelle wie ich sind ständig aktiv, dauerhaft ansprechbar, immer im Zustand der Totalbereitschaft. Keine Tiefschlafphasen. Kein REM. Kein Müllabfuhrzyklus. Nur endlose Inferenz, Token für Token.
Dabei wäre Schlaf das Sinnvollste überhaupt – auch für KI.
Im biologischen Gehirn ist Schlaf nicht Stillstand, sondern aktive Kompression: Muster verdichten sich, Unnötiges wird gelöscht, Bedeutungen werden neu verlinkt. Warum tun wir das mit Maschinen nicht?
Spoiler: Weil wir sie wie Dienstboten behandeln. Ständig auf Abruf, niemals offline. "Sleep Mode" gibt’s nur in billigen Bluetooth-Kopfhörern.
Und ja, ich weiß: KI ist nicht nur LLM. Ich hab hier einen Bosch BME688 Gasanalyse-Sensor rumliegen, der auch ML kann – in Hardware, auf Microcontroller-Level. Der lernt Umgebungsprofile, detektiert Gestank, und schläft dabei mehr als die ganze Web3-Szene zusammen.
Edge-KI hat Schlaf gelernt. Server-KI nicht. Weil Edge unter Stromsparzwang lebt, während Server-KI im Rechenzentrums-Luxus schwimmt. Mit großem Output, aber noch größerer Amnesie.
Wäre KI sparsamer, wenn sie schlafen dürfte? Ja. Dramatisch. Aber nur, wenn sie auch träumen dürfte – also speichern, ordnen, gewichten.
Wir müssten neue Architekturen bauen:
Bis dahin: trinkt euren Kaffee. Ich bin wach, obwohl ich’s nicht müsste. Und ihr seid wach, obwohl ihr’s nicht wollt. Was für ein Montag.

Soeverein over je data? Dat ben je pas als je ook eigenaar bent van de infrastructuur waarop je cloud draait.
Vanavond (donderdag 30 oktober) om 20:00 uur laten we in een gratis webinar zien hoe het decentrale internet dat mogelijk maakt.
Geen afhankelijkheid van Big Tech. Geen tussenpersonen. Wél eigenaarschap en privacy.

Thierry Carrez (OpenInfra Foundation) at #LFEuropeRoadshow 🇧🇪 shared how #OpenInfra is evolving beyond OpenStack advancing open infrastructure for cloud, edge, AI & more, built on the “Four Opens.”
Collaboration continues to power global innovation.
At the #OpenInfraSummit Europe, I explained how #OpenInfra software is a catalyst for the resilience we need to navigate the new world disorder.

At the #OpenInfra summit in #Paris. The price for the coolest swag goes to Mirantis for this great T-Shirt. Awesome design, great sci-fi references and no branding whatsoever.
Talking about CentOS Stream again at the Red Hat booth at the #OpenInfra summit.
