Welcome back, the next talk will be
Jan Kiszka
on Getting more Debian into our
civil infrastructure.
Thank you Michael.
So my name is Jan Kiszka,
you may not know me, I'm not a Debian
Developer, not a Debian Maintainer.
I'm just an upstream hacker.
I'm working for Siemens
and part of the Linux team there
for now 10 years actually,
more than 10 years.
We are supporting our business units
in getting Linux into the products successfully
for that long time, even longer actually.
Today, I'm representing a collaborative
project that has some relationship
with Debian, and more soon.
First of all, maybe a surprise to some
of you,
our civilization is heavily running on Linux
and you may now think about
this kind of devices where some kind of
Linux inside,
or you may think of the cloud servers
running Linux inside.
But actually, this is about devices closer
to us.
In all our infrastructure,
there are control systems, there are
management systems included
and many many of them run Linux inside.
Maybe if you are traveling with Deutsche
Bahn to this event these days,
there was some Linux system on the train
as well,
as they were on the ???,
so on the control side.
Energy generation.
Power plants, they are also run with Linux
in very interesting ways, in positive ways
Industry automation, the factories, they
have control systems inside
and quite a few are running Linux inside.
And also other systems like health care,
diagnostic systems.
These big balls up there, they're magnetic
resonance imaging systems,
they're running on Linux for over
a decade now.
Building automation, not at home but in
the professional building area.
Actually, as I said, the train systems are
going to be more on Debian soon.
We have Debian for quite a while in
power generation.
"We", in this case, Siemens.
We have the box underneath,
on the third row,
the industrial switch there is running
Debian.
And the health care device is still
on Ubuntu, but soon will be Debian as well.
Just to give some examples.
These are the areas where we, as a group,
and we, as Siemens, are active.
But there are some problems with this.
Just take an example from a railway
system.
