Is there anything like "sovereign open source"?, Vittorio Bertola, #FOSSASIA Summit 2026

Can open source and digital sovereignty truly coexist? In this FOSSASIA Summit 2026 session, Vittorio Bertola explores the growing debate around sovereign open source and its role in reducing dependence on major technology providers while preserving the core values of openness and collaboration.

Discover what digital sovereignty means in practice, why governments increasingly rely on open-source software, and whether new requirements for development, governance, and distribution can strengthen resilience without compromising the open-source model. A thought-provoking discussion on the future of technology, policy, and global collaboration.

FOSSASIA Summit 2026 held in Bangkok, is Asia’s leading Open Source tech conference featuring sessions on #AI, #Cloud, #DevOps, #Open Hardware, #Security, #Web #Mobile Technologies, #Web3, and #Databases. Learn more: http://summit.fossasia.org

Stop Reviewing AI Traces in Spreadsheets | MLflow Review Queues

Making sure AI agents stay useful, accurate, and safe still needs a human in the loop. MLflow Review Queues make that review process easier and help you build a dataset of failure modes you can use to improve your app.

In this walkthrough, Khalil Kafrouni uses a support agent for an ecommerce store, with every interaction traced in MLflow, and show how to:
• Create a Hallucinations Check queue
• Create a Usefulness Check queue
• Build pass/fail, numeric, and free-text questions
• Reuse questions across queues
• Flag traces for review
• Review traces with the full tool-call context
• Bake assessments back into traces for future evaluation and iteration

You’ll also see the difference between:
• Feedback questions, where reviewers grade the response
• Expectation questions, where reviewers provide the best possible answer

No more Excel files going back and forth. Review Queues give humans a cleaner way to improve agent quality.
