Sriram Ramkrishna
Sri Ramkrishna has had a colorful and varied career. He started in Enterprise IT, spending 15 years crawling under servers in datacenters, writing tools, and managing enterprise-class storage before moving into professional open source. Since then, Sri has worn many hats — developer advocate, community builder, event organizer — alongside technical roles like firmware QA and building open-hardware servers on open toolchains.
To say Sri loves working with Linux is an understatement. He currently serves as a Director of the GNOME Foundation, the nonprofit that stewards the finances and assets of the GNOME Project. Today, Sri runs a consulting business focused on his core strengths: open source strategy, community development, and technical infrastructure.

Session
The first Linux distribution was created more than a third of a century ago. Thousands have followed, and hundreds are actively maintained to this day. Each distribution has a reason for being, a problem that it solves or a way of doing things that differs from the rest. Join a panel where leads from 4 different Linux distributions (Microsoft Linux, Talos Linux, Alma Linux, and Bluefin/GnomeOS) share what their distribution is for and answer your questions so you can find out if it's for you, too.
