OCA 2024, the First Ever Open Community for Automotive

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 - 10:21 by Ansgar Lindwedel

Open Community for Automotive (OCA) is the newly annual open source for automotive conference hosted by the Eclipse Foundation and collocated at the Open Community Experience (OCX). This conference is designed for automotive developers and product managers, policy makers and decision makers to:

  • Network with people from the automotive SW community.
  • Tap into the Global Eclipse Network.
  • Participate in cutting-edge topics.
  • Stay ahead on regulatory and policy topics in the SW world.

The event will take place from 22-24 October 2024 in Mainz, Germany. 

Automotive, Mobility, SDV and open source? What is it all about?

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from some of the most esteemed speakers in our community. 

  • Why is the automotive industry currently so keen about open source? Open source software has been in use for decades, however it’s mostly been relegated to tooling or pre-development and rarely in in-vehicle applications. What’s changing now?. 
  • Why the hack should open source help us to bring Software Defined Vehicles to reality? 
  • How can we ensure that automotive-grade SW is developed in an Open Source framework? How can Open Source components be certified ISO 26262? 
  • And now comes the next buzzword: AI. What should AI help in the SDV and how does it relate to open source?
  • And why should the Cyber Resilience Act or AI Act of the European Commission bother my work as an automotive developer or product manager and what should open source do about it?

Find answers to these and more questions by participating in the OCA. Find out more
