It looks like Google is serious about getting the "L" preview out to developers in all of its forms, even as code. That's right, the source code is live on AOSP!Screen Shot 2014-07-01 at 4.15.59 PM

This isn't just platform code, it looks like all of the recent Nexus devices are covered - everything from the 2012 Nexus 7 up through to the Nexus 5. Note: there still aren't any binary packages or kernel source for the Nexus devices, so a completely stock AOSP-based build will have to wait a little bit longer.

A few other notable projects to check out:

It's not clear yet if all of the source code is fully uploaded, but I've yet to see a project that doesn't include an "l-preview" branch that appears to contain a full file structure.

It's time to start poking around to see what we can find!
