Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)
The importance of software in the automotive industry is growing every year, and the use of open source is also increasing. Especially recently, software development related to SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) has become active. Therefore, the recent trend in the automotive industry is not only to simply use open source software, but also to contribute to open source development. In Europe, there are many cases where companies in the automotive industry have established OSPO and provide information, and OSPO's contribution to the community is also remarkable. This session will feature a panel discussion among OSPO leaders from the automotive industry, including Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Toyota. They will share the background of their OSPOs, the activities they focus on, and we will discuss trends in the industry. You will learn in this session that the form of OSPO varies from company to company, even in the same industry, and we aim to provide you with tips on how you can promote your open source activities.
