BMW & Partners Share "Production Case Study" at GENIVI All Member Meeting
</h2>
</a>

<p>
BMW brought its production headunit (installed in two vehicles) and its wealth of

experience to GENIVI's recent All Members Meeting in Barcelona last April. Not less than 13 sessions of the GENIVI event were dedicated to lessons learned from the recent BMW production headunit project which leveraged GENIVI's software platform.
In addition to Graham Smethurst's opening remarks,
GENIVI members heard from representatives of BearingPoint, Harman, Magneti-Marelli, NVIDIA, WindRiver, and XS Embedded as they shared "real-life" experiences from their participation in the program.
</p>
<p>
As with any first project using a new technology, there were some challenges faced by BMW and its partners,
but there were also many positives. Leveraging Linux and open source components required partners to
revamp their internal processes to ensure license compliance and to deliver the level of transparency
BMW expected with this new model of software delivery. Another challenge experienced by the partners
was the lack of mature development tooling when compared to other tools used in previous development
projects. A growing number of tool vendors are joining GENIVI and engaging with development
organizations to respond to this need.
</p>

<p> While each partner had different experiences, all participants in the program recognized that there
was "gain in their pain," as second and third generation programs will significantly reuse previously
developed and hardened components as well as newly established processes - suggesting the end-goal of

GENIVI of reducing development cycles and cost may have taken a step forward.
</p>

<p>Graham Smethurst presented a portion of this production case study during the
<a href='http://en.automobil-elektronik-kongress.de/' target='_blank'>Automobil Elektronik Kongress</a>
in Ludwigsburg, Germany on 25 June.
During this conference, participants heard of the challenges and opportunities experienced
during the production headunit program, but were also able to sit in a BMW car and experience
the resulting functionality generated by the program.
</p>

<p>"I so appreciate BMW's transparency and commitment to the adoption of the GENIVI platform in this
first program and in future programs," noted GENIVI Executive Director Steve Crumb. "I know
that the case study has given GENIVI members an inside view of the challenges and benefits of
adopting GENIVI's platform and I look forward to many others in the automotive ecosystem coming
to that same understanding at the Ludwigsburg event."

Consider Contributing to GENIVI's Open Source Hosted IVI Community
</h2>
</a>
<p> GENIVI reached an important milestone with the launch of its first publicly hosted, code
development projects in 2012 consistent with its mission to drive the broad adoption of
an In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) open-source development platform.
</p>
<p> GENIVI is taking proposals for new projects and participation is open to GENIVI members,
non-member companies and individuals who develop automotive software and wish to consider
hosting their code development projects in an open, automotive community of developers.
Proposed projects must have a base of code, a committed maintainer, a small developer

base and a preferred FOSS license. If you or your organization has IVI-related code
and you are looking to engage a broader community to improve and mature it, then we would
ask you to consider submitting a proposal for that code.
</p>
<p>
Proposing a new project involves filling out the Project Proposal form
<a href='http://www.genivi.org/sites/default/files/NewProjectProposal17Oct2012.pdf' target='_blank'> PDF </a>
<a href='http://www.genivi.org/sites/default/files/2012_11_01_New%20Project%20Proposal%2017Oct2012.odt' target='_blank'> / ODT </a> and
returning it <a href='mailto:oss-projects@mail.genivi.org'>here</a>.
Questions about GENIVI hosted projects may also be sent to this same
address. For additional information, please see additional information
on the <a href='http://www.genivi.org/propose' target='_blank'>website</a>.
</p>
<p>
A team will review submitted project proposals and reply with an approval and set of
next steps, clarifying questions, or a notice of non-acceptance. The criteria by which
GENIVI's approves proposed projects can be found in the
<a href='http://www.genivi.org/sites/default/files/Project_Acceptance_Criteria2.pdf' target='_blank'>GENIVI Project Acceptance Criteria</a>.
</p>
<p> GENIVI is ready to help you become an active contributor to GENIVI projects. If there are legal or internal
challenges at your organization, we can help by providing education and best practices. For more information on
how you can get started, please look <a href="http://www.genivi.org/contribute" target="_blank">here</a> for details or email
<a href='mailto:scrumb@inventures.com'>Steve Crumb</a> or <a href='mailto:jeremiah.foster@pelagicore.com'>Jeremiah Foster</a>.

GENIVI Engages in W3C Standardization of Automotive Web APIs
</h2>
</a>

<p> With the growing expectation that cars will be the next mobile platform for web-based applications and
content, the W3C recently launched a Web and Automotive Platform Business Group to explore the
standardization of a web API for vehicles. The group will look at the role of HTML5 and other web
standards as a means of meeting the user demands that applications and services work seamlessly
across all devices they own, including their car. As a first focus, the group will define what
vehicle data will be shared through a web API.
</p>
<p> GENIVI actively engaged early in the W3C discussions during an exploratory workshop hosted by
Intel in Rome last November. We have since hosted the group's first face-to-face workshop in Barcelona
(co-located with our Barcelona member meeting) and most recently participated in the second workshop in
Tokyo last month. The next workshop is being planned for November and is expected to be in Asia
location to be determined.
</p>
<p> GENIVI's participation has been led by GENIVI member representatives from LGE and the Korea Regional
Expert Group. GENIVI has also become a full member of W3C and has seated four GENIVI representatives
to further contribute to the collaboration. These four representatives form the core of a GENIVI
coordination team led by Pavel Konopelko, GENIVI Lead System Architect. To engage others in this
coordination team, GENIVI has launched a public mail list where discussions take place and W3C summary
read-outs are distributed <a href='http://lists.genivi.org/mailman/listinfo/genivi-w3c' target='_blank'>(subscribe here)</a>.
</p>

<p> An early implementation of the GENIVI work done in the Korea Regional Expert group has been
launched <a href='http://projects.genivi.org/web-api-vehicle/' target='_blank'>here</a>.
GENIVI intends to enhance this implementation according to the W3C standard produced by W3C.
</p>

<p> GENIVI looks forward to the successful standardization of this important API, its implementation
in the open source community, and its adoption among automakers world-wide.

The GENIVI Compliance Program
</h2>
</a>

<p> This August will mark the second anniversary of the launch of the GENIVI Compliance
Program.

Now at Version 4.0, the GENIVI compliance program provides a set of specifications for GENIVI
member companies to measure their products and services. Those that meet the specifications may
be registered as GENIVI compliant and listed on the GENIVI website.
</p>

<p> The compliance program is important because automotive OEMs are now making GENIVI compliance a
requirement in their requests for proposals (RFPs) for new In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems.
To respond to these RFPs, software suppliers, and their sub-suppliers, need to have demonstrated
that they can produce products and services that meet the GENIVI compliance requirement.
</p>

<p> The program provides the foundations for delivering the benefits of using the GENIVI platform.
These benefits are: speeds time-to-market; reduces developments costs; provides code
transparency;
broadens options for integrating and customizing solutions and increases IVI interchangeability
across vehicle makes and models.
</p>

<p> In addition to allowing multiple distributions to be compliant, the program encourages member
companies to offer different versions of components enabling diversity while still being compliant,
allowing replacement of a particular component or group of components with another open-source or
proprietary implementation that satisfies the compliance criteria.
</p>

<p> The compliance program is one of many member benefits of the GENIVI Alliance and we welcome
organizations to consider <a href='http://www.genivi.org/join' target='_blank'>joining</a>. For further information on GENIVI's compliance program and
current list of GENIVI compliant products, visit <a href='http://www.genivi.org/compliant-products' target='_blank'>here</a>.
