  • messages from Chris Simmonds:
    • there are plans to have a https://aosp-devs.org/ BoF meeting at AMM:

      Title: 1. Android Platform Builders Birds of a Feather (BoF)

      Description:

      Although Android is pretty common in Automotive, there are surprisingly few opportunities for us developers to come together.
      This BoF is such an opportunity. If you are working with Android at the platform level, or even if you just find this interesting, please come along. 
      Bring with you your experiences, tips, tricks and grumbles about developing Android Automotive. As a starter, here are some of the topics we might discuss:

        * The AOSP community and community portals
        * Working with Google
        * Porting to new hardware
        * System apps vs 3rd party apps

        * Issues around Android security - both where there is too much and also too little

    • Maybe you could bring this us at the AOSP SiG this afternoon:
      Droidcon Berlin are planning an Automotive Summit this year, 24 to 26 September

      https://berlin.droidcon.com/android-automotive-2025/

      I guess it will be similar to last year, which in my opinion was a great success.
