Welcome to the Eclipse Foundation AISBL

Today, we’re announcing that the Eclipse Foundation has successfully completed all of the necessary formalities and has formally established the Eclipse Foundation AISBL, an international non-profit association based in Brussels, Belgium.

As a European-based global organization, the Eclipse Foundation is in the ideal position to build on the growing momentum of strategic open source in Europe and on our strength in the region to support open source innovation globally.

What’s ahead for Open Source in 2021 and beyond

Thursday, January 7, 2021 - 07:41 by Mike Milinkovich

For some reason, the tradition amongst most technology pundits is to spend the waning weeks and days of the past year making prognostications about what’s to come. I’m all for introspection, but making guesses right before the holidays usually means I’m going to forget what I said (wrote?) after my holiday break. Besides, I’d much rather focus on beginnings than endings.

Jakarta EE 9 Delivers the Big Bang

Tuesday, December 8, 2020 - 10:35 by Mike Milinkovich

The Jakarta EE 9 platform release announced during today’s JakartaOne Livestream virtual conference has a notable change: The package namespace is now jakarta.* instead of javax.*. Moving all the specification APIs to the jakarta namespace (sometimes referred to as the “big bang”) is a simple, but very significant, update that opens the door to the next era of innovation using cloud native technologies for Java.

With the results of the 2020 Jakarta EE survey and the initial milestone release of the Jakarta EE 9, it’s clear the community’s collective efforts are resonating with the global Java ecosystem.

Eclipse Foundation Support for the Black Community

Wednesday, June 10, 2020 - 10:00 by Mike Milinkovich

The events of the past several weeks have reminded us yet again that racism remains a reality in our society. It is terribly sad and frustrating to be reminded that in 2020 hate and injustice still rule the lives of so many. It is heartbreaking that we even have to say “Black lives matter”. I and the Eclipse Foundation stand in solidarity with the Black community and will continue our efforts to provide an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming community for all.
