Time	Event
2:02p	The Qt Automotive Suite launches The Qt Blog announces the launch of the Qt Automotive Suite. "With cumulative experience from over 20 automotive projects it was noted how Qt is really well suited to the needs of building IVIs and Instrument Clusters, that there were already millions of vehicles on the road with Qt inside, and that there were a lot of ongoing projects. There was though a feeling that things could be even better, that there were still a few things holding back the industry, contributing to the sense that shipped IVI systems could be built faster, cheaper and with a higher quality."

11:33p	Maru OS now freely available The Maru OS handset distribution (reviewed here in April) has moved out of the beta-test period and is now freely downloadable without an invitation. Maru functions as both an Android handset and an Ubuntu desktop (when connected to an external monitor). For now, it remains limited to Nexus 5 handsets. "Now that the beta program is over, I’m finally turning my attention to the open-source project so we can expand device support with the help of the community. Let’s get Maru in the hands of a lot more people!" (Comment on this)
