This paper introduces glass-box AI for customer experiences, detailing architectural control points for observable, explainable and auditable AI. ow2con-2026-90883-beyond-the-black-box-architecting-dynamic-ai-experiences-for-accountable-value-and-contextual-control Open Models: AI, Data, Standards, etc. Paulina RYTERS-MENAPACE, DropsolidTassos KOUTLAS, Dropsolid en AI is fundamentally changing how customer-facing digital platforms behave. Modern digital experiences are no longer just deterministic flows built on content, rules and integrations. They increasingly rely on models, agents and external tools that reason, adapt and act at runtime. The result: behaviour emerges dynamically, not only at design time. This transition introduces a critical paradox: as AI capabilities expand, enterprise control diminishes, triggering new vulnerabilities in security, compliance and institutional trust. Without visibility into how AI features operate, customer-facing platforms quickly become black boxes: impossible to explain, hard to govern, and difficult to align with enterprise requirements around data usage, accountability and trust. In this session, we explore what transparent **glass-box AI** looks like in a customer-facing digital experience context: - how AI behaviour can be made observable, explainable and auditable - where architectural control points are required to retain ownership over data, decisions and outcomes - how risks such as bias, data leakage or unintended behaviour can be detected and actively steered - how humans stay in the loop, not as a last resort but as a design principle Rather than focusing on individual tools or models, the talk looks at **architecture, governance and responsibility**: what it takes to design AI-enabled digital experiences that organisations can understand, control and defend over time - especially in regulated, public or mission-critical environments. The session argues that digital sovereignty is not achieved through policy alone, but through **intentional architectural choices** that make transparency and control inherent properties of the system. false https://pretalx.ow2.org/ow2con-2026/talk/QGEWCW/ https://pretalx.ow2.org/ow2con-2026/talk/QGEWCW/feedback/ Main stage Talk 2026-06-02T12:10:00+02:00 12:10 00:20 Organisations often face a difficult choice: the collaborative convenience of the cloud, or data security.

Firefox’ browser engine, Gecko, is to date the only cross-platform not based on Blink which is controlled by Google. To be able to sustain our long term goals for the community and our mission, we think it is time to build a branch of Mozilla that enables the ecosystem to leverage a product built specifically with enterprise deployment in mind.

It highlights key Proxmox VE 9 improvements (live migration, GPU sharing, SR-IOV, SAN support, easier migrations from proprietary stacks), resilience with Proxmox Backup Server, and closes with roadmap perspectives and practical feedback for a successful transition. ow2con-2026-90710-regaining-control-of-virtualization-with-proxmox-solutions-and-outlook Community, open source policy and digital sovereignty François-Xavier GUIDET, FactorFX en n a context of increasing dependency on proprietary solutions such as VMware—often associated with high costs, limited transparency, and poor reversibility—many organizations are now looking to regain control over their IT infrastructure. Proxmox VE has emerged as a strong open-source, unified, and mature alternative for building a sovereign, resilient, and sustainable virtualization platform. It is worth highlighting the strategic importance of these challenges across several dimensions: Technology: An open-source solution built on proven virtualization components, compatible with standard protocols, without compromising on technological scope. Financial: Clear, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, proportional to the chosen level of support. Sovereignty: A European vendor, helping reduce exposure to U.S. extraterritorial legislation. Beyond these strategic drivers, the solution’s appeal is also grounded in solid technical foundations: A consistent platform that brings virtualization, storage, networking, and backup into a single interface. No dependency on specific hardware. Operations that are both straightforward and comprehensive, supported by a robust RESTful API. Proxmox VE version 9 represents a major milestone, introducing multiple significant improvements, including: Optimized live migrations to simplify switching virtualization environments.

Most have mature open-source equivalents. However, GPO functionality for Linux desktops remains fully unaddressed. When talking about sovereignty, we can't ignore this issue. That's why Linagora designed a full replacement for AD, mostly based on existing project but with a new project to fully replace it. ow2con-2026-91901-alternatives-to-active-directory Community, open source policy and digital sovereignty Xavier GUIMARD, Linagora en Large organizations managing Linux desktop fleets face a critical gap: while Microsoft Active Directory provides centralized policy management (GPO) for Windows, no equivalent open-source solution exists for Linux desktops. Active Directory is not a single product but a bundle of services. Most have mature open-source equivalents — OpenLDAP for directories, MIT Kerberos for authentication, GLPI for inventory. However, some of them, especially GPO functionality remains unaddressed for Linux desktops. Existing configuration management tools (Ansible, Puppet, SaltStack) target server infrastructure, lack native dconf/GNOME support, and don't provide the offline capability, drift detection, or OU-based targeting that enterprise desktop management requires. Our approach was: decompose AD functionality, identify existing open-source components, and develop only what is missing. The gap analysis reveals that ~90% of AD services are already covered. The remaining 10% _(centralized policy enforcement for GNOME desktops (dconf settings, files, services, packages, printers, mounts)_ is the core problem to solve. This leads to a focused development scope: a policy engine with targeted appliers, a lightweight pull-based agent with offline cache, and a unified admin console federating existing tools via REST APIs. Rather than building a monolithic AD replacement, the solution orchestrates proven open-source components and fills only the critical gap. false https://pretalx.ow2.org/ow2con-2026/talk/SMNBUY/ https://pretalx.ow2.org/ow2con-2026/talk/SMNBUY/feedback/ Main stage Talk 2026-06-03T11:30:00+02:00 11:30 00:20 Finally technology independence and digital autonomy are in the spotlight, and we question our IT usages, with collaborative suites, AI, hosting and storage in mind.

We’ll unpack key challenges identified by participants, including the lack of institutional incentives to treat software as scholarship, the difficulty of tracking impact and adoption, fragmented ownership models, and the cultural gap between researchers and open source practitioners. We’ll also highlight emerging solutions: funding software as infrastructure rather than short-term projects, integrating students into open source ecosystems as a workforce pipeline, establishing campus-wide coordination through OSPOs and/or foundations, and developing standards for discoverability, attribution, and trust.
