Open collaboration in action: Arpit Joshipura speaking at the Agentic AI Summit and 5G Futures Summit as CAMARA, Sylva, and LF Education activate on the ground<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Linux Foundation, the world’s leading home for open source collaboration, announced its participation at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026, taking place March 2\u20135, 2026.
\nThe Linux Foundation’s leaders and technical communities are heading to MWC 2026 to unveil pivotal advancements in AI-native networking and open-source cloud architectures that promise to fundamentally rewire global connectivity. Understanding these collaborative breakthroughs is now the ultimate professional \u00abmust-have,\u00bb as they represent the essential blueprint for anyone looking to lead in an era defined by autonomous infrastructure and digital sovereignty. Featured activity includes LF Networking programming at the Agentic AI Summit (coinciding with the release of a new white paper on Agentic AI), a community reception hosted by the CAMARA project, live demos from Project Sylva, and a Talent Arena session from Linux Foundation Education.
\n\u00abMWC Barcelona brings together the people building the future of connectivity, and open source is increasingly the operating model behind that future,\u00bb said Arpit Joshipura, general manager, Networking, IoT & Edge, the Linux Foundation. \u00abFrom agentic AI and AI-native networking to open telco APIs and cloud-native infrastructure, Linux Foundation projects are helping the industry collaborate upstream, move faster with shared building blocks, and deliver innovation that can scale globally.\u00bb
\nLF Networking released a new white paper that aligns with the Agent AI Summit session, Architecting Autonomy: The Convergence of Agentic AI and Open Source Networking. The paper outlines high-level architecture and readiness principles for integrating agentic AI with open-source networking stacks, accelerating both \u00abAI for Networks\u00bb automation and \u00abNetworks for AI\u00bb infrastructure.
