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.
