I am packing up and getting ready to head to the Face-to-Face meeting in Spain that starts on Tuesday. Welcome to issue number twenty-eight of the weekly AGL newsletter highlighting work going on around the AGL Community. You can also find the latest issue and back issues on our wiki page. https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/newsletter

1) Last week was very slow with holidays in Japan and Europe. Not much news to report other than we are prepping the Grumpy Guppy 7.0.2 patch release.

2) We had a couple offers of help, but we are still looking for some more documentation site improvements. If you have expertise in HTLM5 and CSS and want to help, check out JIRA issues SPEC-2317, SPEC-2318, and SPEC-2319. Please contact me if you can help us out. We will be looking for more redesign of the overall look and feel of the site as well. There is an Epic in Jira (SPEC-2330) with subtasks that cover the redesign.

3) The release of the hardware specification being written by the Reference Hardware System Architecture EG was delayed until next week. This should lead to a 2-DIN hardware prototype that can be purchased by AGL Members. A draft version of the spec can be found here for review and early comments. https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/_media/eg-rhsa/agl_referencehardwarespec_v0.2.0draft.pdf

4) The detailed agenda was posted for the F2F meeting on May 7 – 9 at Igalia’s office in Coruna, Spain. We will have a video conference open in each room and will still hold all of the regularly scheduled EG meetings from Spain. A lot of important topics are on the agenda. https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro/may2019-f2f

5) The agenda for Automotive Linux Summit was posted. ALS will be held July 17 – 19 in Tokyo. https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/automotive-linux-summit-2019/program/schedule/

6) When you make your travel plans to attend Automotive Linux Summit, remember that we will hold a Face-to-Face SAT and Expert Group meeting on July 16 the day before ALS begins. Sign up at https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro/jul2019-f2f

7) The deadline for submitting patches to master for the Happy Halibut RC1 is May 3 for a planned May 10 release. I expect there will be short delay in the RC1 due to the F2F meeting.
