Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting Japan 2026

Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) is advancing Software Defined Vehicle (SoDeV) as a foundation for open, scalable, and collaborative automotive innovation. As vehicles become increasingly software-centric, accelerating collaboration between AGL SoDeV initiatives and the broader open-source automotive community is critical to shaping the future of mobility.
This session highlights how AGL SoDeV acts as a collaboration hub that connects industry-driven development with open-source community contributions. Building on a previously presented demo, we introduce updated workflows and tooling that reduce collaboration friction, improve governance transparency, and enable faster feedback loops between SoDeV activities and OSS communities.
Through an updated live demonstration, we show how governance automation and clear contribution flows can function as enablers rather than barriers. The talk focuses on practical lessons learned from evolving AGL SoDeV collaboration models, explaining what has changed, why it matters, and how these improvements help communities and organizations innovate together more effectively.
