In an effort to encourage open source technologies and add more open source apps to the showcase, Google has launched the Android Experiments I/O Challenge.
Celebrating coding and creativity, Google will choose three winners from this challenge which will run until April 11 who will get a trip to this year’s Google I/O Developer Conference.
Unlike the other corners of software development, notably, open source is yet to become a major force in app development. Google aims to bring more open source apps on its platform to inspire other developers.
