Todays' monthly meeting was lightly attended as expected, and we didn't
have a lot of technical topics to update, but I did want to send out the
one thing we did cover.
August marks the 1st anniversary of the CentOS Automotive SIG, and we have
accomplished quite a lot over this first year. The first meeting was August
19, 2021, at which time there was no infrastructure at all and the group
had just been voted into existence by the CentOS board.
Now, one year later, we have a robust repository within the CentOS domain,
open to contributions by the public - and indeed we had our first
contributor from outside Red Hat over the past month, which is a great
example of the value we hope we are bringing to automotive Linux
development. In addition to the repositories, we have a strong nightly
build structure providing a continuous stream of images that are easy to
download and get running via QEMU or on a Raspberry Pi 4. The image uses
Stream 9 components with a customized (real time) kernel, a good example of
CentOS Stream based development, and a fun and interesting project.
Congratulations to everyone involved with the SIG, and thanks again to
CentOS for hosting it!
