Yes, Android is based upon a forked Linux kernel, and as of Linux 3.5,
the Android kernel code has been merged back into the mainline Linux
source tree upstream. The userland of however only contains a few GNU
libraries and utilities, because most of the Android userland is written
in Java for portability, given the wide range of very different
processor architectures.
As you may or may not know, Android is mainly used on ARM-based devices,
and ARM is a RISC-type processor, of which there are a great many
varieties, and this means that the binary operating system code must be
compiled specifically for the target processor. Using Java for
developing applications - which is platform-independent bytecode running
inside a Java runtime environment - circumvents this limitation (at the
cost of some performance overhead).
Insofar as I can see, news.eternal-september.org carries only two
Android-related newsgroups, being...
° hr.alt.gsm.cellular.android
° fr.comp.os.android
However, these are probably not English-spoken/international newsgroups.
"hr" signifies the TLD for Croatia and "fr" for France.
