Recommend changing the title so that people get a better idea of the content.
This is an interesting proposal, as it deals with FOSS in the automotive industry. The industry is highly regulated. Inside look into this industry is not so common to come by. The certification journey alone should make this talk worthwhile.
Interesting because this can start conversations in large companies to support and make FOSS. Agree with the recommendation to change the title to be more descriptive. MBRDI is not a popularly known abbreviation.
This talk would be interesting as it's a very vertical, inclined presentation.
It would be good to have a peek at how organisations in the core industry using tech approach FOSS.
Automobile industry is fostering rapid innovation in software segment. It will be interesting to understand how this industry adapts the FOSS principles considering strict compliance measures. An important area that needs attention.
