Don’t confuse Open Source advocacy with volunteerism. Volunteer programmers get stuff done only when there’s something in it for them. But real volunteers get stuff done because there’s something in it for somebody ELSE. Any contributions brought to Android by the outside world that are worth assimilation into the project are going to create project management expenses for Google, and the big G has always been an innovation leader (as opposed to a leech), so sucking the community’s cheap or free “cool new ideas” into Android is NOT what Google is up to.

They are the Core team in the open source project that decides everything and they are they only ones who can authorize new projects and project leads, or take the project code into the system. The community has no voice in the governance of the community or in the membership of the Core team.. Google also owns the message boards, and the Open(ha ha) Handset Alliance (wWhich is a closed body with no public membership ability and is controlled by Google). This means issues like schedule, DRM, which API's to expose etc etc are all completely in the control of Google. I just don't see how this is open ;-(</p> If you carefully look at the structure of the Android community you will see that Google is completely and unilaterally in charge.
