Everything Too Open?

Greetings from Everything Open 2026 at University of Canberra. This is Linux Australia's annual conference. The opening keynote presentation is by Kylie McDevitt, former Technical Director at the Australian Signals Directorate. Kylie is discussing security analysis of internet connected devices. This is very topical, with the ACT Government checking if their electric busses can be remotely sabotaged.
