The intent of the proposed Eclipse Leda Incubator is to foster collaboration in the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) ecosystem, and hopefully results in work proceeding to contribution by their original authors into upstream projects. The Eclipse Leda Incubator would not make any releases itself.
The Eclipse Leda Incubator project hosts software-defined vehicle components which are fitting into the general Eclipse Leda scope, but do not fit to either being part of Leda itself, which should be upstreamed into other projects in the future, or which are still highly experimental and should not be considered for any kind of production use.
Eclipse Leda Incubator provides a place for experimental components from the software-defined vehicle ecosystem.
While the software defined vehicle ecosystem is starting up, new ideas for software components emerge and should be experimented with by the community.
The goal of Eclipse Leda is to integrate SDV components into a ready and defined quickstart image, to be able to show case certain higher-level use cases on a base ground. At the same time, the development community needs a way to try out experimental components in the same way, but without interfering with the stable release cycles of the parent project.
All components mentioned in the initial contribution are already implemented and ready for contribution.
