The AOSP and AAOS Meetup

The AOSP and AAOS meetup is an online meeting place for people working with the open source parts of Android, especially AOSP and Android Automotive. The goal is to share practical experience: how people build products, solve technical problems, test and debug systems, and work with the Android platform in the real world.

Meetings are held every two months. A typical session lasts about one and a half hour and includes a short welcome, one or two talks, and time for discussion and networking.

History

The meetup started in March 2022 as an independent online series for AOSP and AAOS developers by Chris Simmonds. For the first years, it was spread across two places:

• aospandaaos.github.io for slides, videos, and past meetup pages
• Meetup.com for event listings and RSVPs

The meetup is now continued here on aosp-devs.org, which is the main entry point for new events. Slides and videos from past talks remain available on the AOSP and AAOS meetup archive.
