A Year of Momentum: Looking Back at the Growth of the AGL Japan Community and What Comes Next - Hiroyuki Ishii, Panasonic Automotive Systems Co., Ltd.

Wednesday May 13, 2026 13:35 - 14:05 JST

Estate I + II

2025 marked a turning point for Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) and the Japanese automotive open source community. Growing interest from the Japanese automotive industry, the launch of initiatives such as SoDeV and AGL Assessment Automation (AAA), and expanded activities targeting both the community and the industry created strong momentum for AGL in Japan.

This session looks back on the past year of the AGL Japan Community, highlighting what changed, why it mattered, and how these developments are reshaping AGL’s role in the Software Defined Vehicle era. We will review key developments in 2025, including the motivations behind SoDeV and AAA, and the evolution of community engagement through events, demos, and outreach.

Looking ahead to 2026, the session will share perspectives on where these initiatives are heading and what kinds of collaboration and contributions are needed to sustain this momentum. The goal is to clarify how companies and individual contributors can get involved and help shape the next phase of AGL together.

Design and Implementation of an Internship Program Integrating Open Source Contribution Activities - Hiroshi Tokita, Fujitsu Corporation & Fumi Omori, Saitame University

Wednesday May 13, 2026 15:45 - 16:15 JST

Estate I + II

As part of the AGL SoDeV activities, we conducted an internship program linked to recruitment activities in Japanese companies, in which participants practiced contributing to open source software (OSS).

With the aim of incorporating it into the SoDeV system, we tackled the challenge of running virtio-gpio using Zephyr in a Xen environment.
The program was carried out over a two-month period, and the participants ultimately succeeded in submitting patches to the OSS community.

Through the practice of OSS activities within an internship, several challenges became apparent. These include the difficulty of defining appropriate technical tasks that fit within the limited duration of the internship, the risk caused by variations in the skill levels of participating students, the need to balance the program with recruitment objectives, and the high level of expertise required from mentors for effective OSS mentoring.

Nevertheless, the significance of this initiative is considerable. Beyond being a single case within Fujitsu, we report this practice with the expectation that it may contribute to the broader adoption of OSS-oriented internship programs among Japanese companies.

Uniting the Supply Chain: Shaping the Automotive SBOM Together - Masato Endo & Keisuke Takase, Toyota Motor Corporation; Ayumi Watanabe, Hitachi Solutions, Ltd. & Mary Meixia Wang, The Linux Foundation

Wednesday May 13, 2026 16:20 - 16:50 JST

Estate I + II

As the automotive industry rapidly transitions to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), widespread SBOM usage is critical for improving transparency, security, and compliance across the supply chain. However, adoption faces significant barriers. OEMs and suppliers currently struggle with fragmented requirements, differing quality criteria, and unclear handling processes, leading to inefficiency and severe supplier fatigue.

To overcome these challenges, the OpenChain Automotive Work Group launched the Automotive SBOM Project. We are developing the "Automotive SBOM Specification" as a common guideline to ensure SBOM practices are practical, scalable, and meet shared quality criteria.

As an original proposer, I will introduce this specification's outline and share our latest community discussions on solving key adoption barriers. Most importantly, this session is a call for collaboration. I invite all stakeholders to join us. Let's work together to refine these guidelines, standardize our supply chain processes, and accelerate effective SBOM usage across the automotive ecosystem.
