Droidcon Berlin: This Year In Android

The Android community is a fast evolving society of excellent people who passionately involve themselves in their ecosystem. This means the progress of developments can be fast, blazingly fast!

Inspired by other content creators and newsletters that keep us informed about the most recent events, I decided to document news, events, and releases every week for a year. Starting from the end of Droidcon Berlin, the world’s best Android developer conference.

Accompany me in this journey to look over all the events of this last year, from the end of Droidcon Berlin 2022 up until right now!
