<p>Meet and chat about open source in automotive !</p>
<p>This Birds of a Feather (BoF) session at FOSDEM will focus on the growing intersection of open source and the automotive industry, highlighting the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities for collaboration. As the automotive sector increasingly adopts open-source software, it is driving innovation in areas such as in-vehicle systems, autonomous driving, and vehicle connectivity. Key projects like Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) and the ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) initiative are at the forefront of this transformation, providing open-source frameworks for developing scalable, secure, and reliable automotive software. This session will bring together developers, engineers, and enthusiasts to discuss how these initiatives are shaping the future of mobility and explore how open-source communities can work together to solve the unique challenges of the automotive domain.</p>
<p>Attendees will have the opportunity to share experiences, discuss key technical topics such as real-time operating systems, safety-critical systems, and compliance with automotive standards (e.g., ISO 26262), and explore potential new collaborations. The session will delve into the importance of open standards, the growing need for security in connected vehicles, and how projects like AGL and ELISA enable safer, more efficient automotive software development. By fostering cross-industry dialogue and strengthening the automotive open-source ecosystem, this session aims to inspire future collaborations that can help define the next generation of smart, connected, and autonomous vehicles.</p>

<p>Digitization requires efficient software development. Today, this is no longer financially viable without the massive reuse of existing components and thus without the use of open source software as a generic product, also in the context of safety applications. Therefore, ways and means must be found to make open source software usable on a large scale for the railway sector. Due to the cooperative nature of open source software and the low competitive differentiation in the use of such ...
