| The Linux Foundation has announced a new event and a new emphasis for Linux:
| the inaugural Automotive Linux Summit.
|
| The Auto Summit, which will happen on November 28 in Yokohama, Japan, is
| geared to "address the growing need for carmakers and Linux developers to
| collaborate on the future of computing on wheels."
|
| And, I would suspect, a chance to really try to showcase the in-vehicle
| capabilities of MeeGo and Tizen, two mobile platform projects stewarded by the
| Linux Foundation.
|
| You don't hear much about these platforms' in-vehicle infotainment (IVI)
| features, except in press releases about the platforms themselves, where we
| all die a little bit inside when we read the word "infotainment." But it's as
| good a term as any to describe the class of devices that have come as an
| option in cars in recent years, like seat warmers. OnStar, GM's big revenue
| generator, and Ford Sync, an equivalent IVI platform powered by Microsoft's
| Embedded Automotive operating system, are two examples of this kind of system.
