Over the past two years, we’ve closely followed the development of Google’s Fuchsia OS and the various hardware products it supports. Thus far, these products have almost all been Made by Google devices like the Pixelbook and Nest Hub, used simply as testbeds for Fuchsia on various form factors.

Bug Tracker

Sometime in the last few months, a subtle change occurred in the Fuchsia repository. Previously, Fuchsia-related bugs were hosted on a private instance of Jira, a third-party service from Atlassian designed to manage software development.

Now the Fuchsia team has moved their bug tracker over to “Monorail,” a bug tracker created and used by Google’s Chrome team. In fact, it’s even hosted on the same “bugs.chromium.org” domain as the Chromium bug tracker.

Who are Fuchsia’s partners?

Putting it all together, we can pretty confidently say that Google wants to partner with companies on some sort of Fuchsia-related projects. But who’s biting? While the new bug tracker won’t divulge any secrets itself, we took a closer look at the Fuchsia Gerrit to see if any “corp-partner.google.com” email addresses appeared

At the very least, Google may be getting hardware and software partners involved early so that they can better understand Google’s vision for Fuchsia, to see if pursuing a project based on Fuchsia would be worth their investment and development efforts.
