Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting Europe 2026

Every open-source project eventually outgrows the infrastructure that got it there. For AGL, that's Gerrit+Jenkins — still functional, but carrying real friction: aging plugins, a steep on-ramp for new contributors. This talk envisions AGL's next CI/CD setup, framed as a reusable template other projects can adapt rather than a one-off fix.
We'll walk through the evaluation behind that vision: modernized Gerrit+Jenkins, GitHub, self-hosted GitLab CE, and GitLab.com with self-hosted runners, Forgejo. We discuss maintenance burden, reliability, security, and native integration with Yocto/BitBake.
The envisioned target: GitLab.com with self-hosted runners, pairing a modern hosted review/CI experience with build execution kept on AGL-controlled infrastructure.

We'll cover what getting there requires with sequencing a cutover with no dead period. It provides in the end a decision framework any project facing this can reuse.

In this session, as the newly appointed Executive Director of OpenChain, I will outline the strategic direction for OpenChain in 2027 and beyond. Building on the solid foundation of our existing ISO standards, including ISO 5230:2020 and ISO 18974, I will share the next steps OpenChain will take to expand its global reach. We will focus on fostering international collaboration, adapting to emerging regulatory landscapes, and driving innovation in open-source compliance practices worldwide.

Until now, strategies for rendering functionally safe telltales in digital instrument clusters have typically relied on a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to validate correct display after the fact. This approach constrains telltale functionality because of the inherent simplicity and limited capabilities of RTOS-based implementations. As a result, telltales in today’s high-tech, widescreen digital instrument clusters often do little more than replicate functionality first introduced in vehicles nearly 100 years ago. This talk presents a safe-rendering approach—rather than a validation-only model—that uses a high-level operating system, Linux, to bring safe telltale functionality into the 21st century.
