Over many years I have observed that developers working with the Android platform do not talk to each other nearly enough. One reason is that there is no obvious place where AOSP developers can come together. Following on from a discussion at a conference, a group of us set out to create a community led resource to fulfill that role. https://aosp-devs.org aims to:
- Reduce the fragmentation in the AOSP ecosystem by sharing code, tooling, and knowledge
- Provide a repository for documentation, tutorials, and best practices
- Provide a neutral place to host open source code outside of AOSP. A good example would be board support packages and other common patches
- Provide communication channels where developers can ask questions and collaborate
- Organise meetings on-line and in-person
- Provide education
- Provide a conduit between Google, the AOSP community, and OEMs A community is more than the sum of its parts
