I wish I had something ready. At the moment I'm trying to get Navit working on an STM32 based board.
There's a whole changeover to Android and some very interesting things to work on. I'm sure we could fill 2012 with talks from people. I'm surprised how much linux there actually is inside Android. It seems to be a fancy Linux OS just for running Java apps. Maybe there's more.. we should dig to see..
