Discussion

  1. Quick report from COSCUP 2025 @ Taiwan

    1. Itoh-san gave a quick introduction of OSPO-EG with Chinese version of contribution survey thanks to Jerry

    2. Atendees are mainly consist of local students and young engineers, most of them are highly involved in open source, but looks to be struggling to connect it to their carrier path (or doing open source as a job)

  2. Open Source Summit Europe 2025 Planning

    1. Panel Discussion: Open Source as a Path for a Competitive Automotive Industry from Endo-san

  3. Discussions about survey: How can we solve barriers for Japanese engineers

    1. Insights from Itoh-san and Tsubouchi-san:

      1. Tendency regarding area (EU, JP, …) and Tier (OEM, Tier1, …): need further investigations

    2. Helping them to be interested/involved in open source (community)? – most popular Japanese open source (online) community is qiita, but each of the communities are small and somehow like “OTAKU“. It’s hard to connect such activities to their company work. Also embedded topics are not so popular in qiita.

    3. V-model developments in automotive industry can be a barrier for contribution to open source

    4. It’s important to find out the “common“ issues among individual companies and/or engineers

    5. “Production vs open source” will be not unique problem in Japan – OSPO should give a leadership and policy regarding balance between real and ideal development in terms of open source, especially in automotive industry
