Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is the official feature of Android project that (in theory) allows stakeholders to obtain the source code to create your own variations of the system, carrying devices and accessories, and make sure your equipment is compatible with the mobile operating system led by Google.
Jean-Baptiste Queru (JBQ), a software engineer at Google, was the maintainer of the AOSP until last week, but yesterday made it clear that he gave up, and the reason is quite familiar: even in the recent and prominent apparatus Google Nexus 7 is impossible to run the Android open source at the moment, since Qualcomm, which makes your GPU does not support any open driver, and alternatives based on reverse engineering are far from having reached sufficient quality for the task.
He predicted
and climbed the problem for six months, but to no avail.
Unfortunate

Good luck in the upcoming projects, JBQ! (Via plus.google.com – “Jean-Baptiste Queru – Google+ – Well, I see people have Figured Out que why I’m quitting …” )
