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.
