Contributing to Automotive Grade Linux and GENIVI Development Platform - Leon Anavi, Konsulko Group

Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) and GENIVI Development Platform (GDP) are both Linux-based distributions for the automotive industry. As a regular contributor to both projects Leon Anavi will provide a detailed comparison and exact steps for getting started and contributing to the upstream.
The Yocto Project and Openembedded are used for building both AGL and GDP. Other similarities are the usage of systemd, GENIVI SOTA project, Wayland display server protocol and its reference compositor Weston. The main differences are in the security models, the application frameworks and in the GUI.
In this presentation, Leon Anavi will review recent events in the automotive development community, provide comparison between the two projects, reveal contribution guidelines, and hopefully will encourage developers and companies to get involved and contribute more to the upstream.
