AlmaLinux OS Foundation Chair To Speak at IGF Norway 2025

FORT MYERS, FL, UNITED STATES, June 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The AlmaLinux OS Foundation, the nonprofit that stewards the free and community-governed open source enterprise Linux distribution, today announced that chair benny Vasquez is scheduled to participate in a round-table discussion during the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Norway, taking place June 23-27 at the NOVA Spektrum in Lillestrom, Norway.

Established in 2006, the Internet Governance Forum is a global, multistakeholder platform hosted by the United Nations that facilitates discussions on public policy issues related to the internet. This year it will be one of the largest UN conferences ever organized in Norway with several thousand participants gathering to exchange knowledge, build cooperation, and jointly address important issues related to the development of the internet.

From 9-10 a.m. on June 26 in WS Room 106, Hall C, Vasquez will participate in a session titled “Promoting Responsible Internet Practices in Infrastructure.” This session will explore a critical and often overlooked aspect of online responsibility – how to parse responsibility for harmful activity within the Internet infrastructure. It will also bring together experts to examine the roles and responsibilities of infrastructure actors in advancing responsible internet practices. Topics will include the complexities of notification systems, mitigation strategies, process automation, and the challenges of aligning policies across jurisdictions and industry sectors.

Participants will gain an understanding of key challenges and gaps in promoting responsible internet practices at the infrastructure level, learn best practices for information sharing and coordination among stakeholders, supporting WSIS Action Line C5, and receive actionable recommendations for improving cross-sector collaboration on responsible Internet practices.

With experience managing commercial and open source communities, developers, and high-performance teams at places such as LiquidWeb, cPanel, Progress, and most recently Microsoft, Vazques showcases a successful track record across product management and business strategy – serving as a leading voice in the world of community-driven software.
