First, the Board decided to postpone the physical (face-to-face) event to the fall , on with a date to be negotiated new target date of 27-29 October, which will be confirmed with the Leipzig Marriott, the targeted venue for the event.  From what is known today, the date of the event is likely be in late October time frame and the selected dates will be communicated in coming weeksMarriott Leipzig.  Once the dates have been confirmed, we will communicate the new plan by email and on the website.  The scope and purposes of the all member meeting, including its member showcase and the open community element that encourages participation by non-members, will continue as was originally planned for the May event.  But this decision was not just a typical postponement.  

An important The second decision reached by the Board was to evolve the approach for the May meeting to use proceed with a slightly reduced scope Summit in May using virtual technologies to allow for program sessions to proceed as planned, though not in person.  The details for this virtual approach are being finalized by GENIVI staff, but at a minimum, the program will support interactive participation and have the following elements streamed virtually:

• President's Keynote and Board "Town Hall" meeting
• Presentations on 1-2 Trends trends affecting current and future E/E Architecture (topics to be announced)
• Status updates on GENIVI collaborative projects (including those with planned sessions later in the event)
• Android Automotive SIG Workshop (multiple sessions)
• Cloud and Connected Services Project Workshop (multiple sessions)
• Hypervisor Usage and the Automotive Virtualization Platform Specification Workshop (multiple sessions).

The Board also made a request to explore holding a one-hour, virtual showcase during which sponsoring organization organizations would have a brief slot to pitch introduce their products and services to a virtual audience and have the ability to set up offline conversations with interested attendees.  Virtual beer and snacks will be served.   More information on how this will be executed will be made available with in another blog post and through Mike Nunnery, GENIVI Marketing Manager.

While many of us would have enjoyed being face-to-face, we will have to wait until the fall to do so.  But in the meantime, keep your calendars marked for 12-13 14 May for the first ever, GENIVI Virtual All Member MeetingVirtual Summit.  If you have any questions about this event, please contact me (scrumb at genivi dot org).
