Android and Graphics track

Friday, September 20, 2013 from 9:00am – Noon

Android is a heavily graphical environment, with slick user interfaces, games, and other apps. But the Android graphcis stack is quite different then other Linux environments.

Here we will discuss topics which overlap Android and Graphics in focused round-table discussions between Android developers and key upstream community members.

The planned topics will focus on functionality related to ION, Android Sync, and KMS HWComposer, along with the various upstream approaches.

We hope to discuss ways forward that will allow for functionality to be merged in mainline that can co-exist or be shared between Android and other Linux environments.
