We are only 9 days away from AlmaLinux Day: Germany 2026, and the full schedule is here!
On Thursday, March 26will be taking over the Convento Room at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany for a full day of talks, a panel and the kind of corridor conversations that make these events so worthwhile. AlmaLinux Day: Germany takes place during the last day of CloudFest 2026so you’ll also have access to the legendary CloudFest BierFest to cap off the night.
Your host for the day will be Tristan Therouxwhich will keep things moving and make sure we stay on track.

What to expect
This year’s lineup reflects the breadth of where AlmaLinux is used. We have CERN sharing how AlmaLinux powers their infrastructure, ESO talking about how the Extremely Large Telescope project relies on open source and AlmaLinux, and MEGWARE discussing their journey to AlmaLinux for HPC.
Dennis Zimmer of Code Notary will speak about Keep AlmaLinux safe – security is something our community cares about a lot, and this one is going to be a must-see. Alexander Troshin of AMD will cover Scaling and Optimizing Performance on AMD EPYC Systems – if you’re running (or thinking about) AlmaLinux on AMD hardware, this is your session. We’ll also hear from Valkey and TuxCare, along with deep dives from our own engineering team.
The day concludes with a panel on the future of AlmaLinux and includes participants who are deeply involved in the project, but who also bring their own expertise from their own unique industries! Bring your questions, because this is your chance to ask them directly to the people building the project.
