Measuring Industrial IoT’s Evolution

Monday, February 25, 2019 - 08:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Today the Eclipse IoT Working Group announced major milestones as IoT’s largest Open Source community: 41 member companies, 37 projects, and 350 contributors. It’s hard to believe that it all started in 2011 with just three projects and the basic goal to reduce the complexity of developing machine-to-machine IoT solutions.

And it’s an interesting day to reflect on “where we are today” on the Industrial IoT adoption curve.

Introducing the Jakarta EE Specification Process

Tuesday, October 16, 2018 - 15:18 by Mike Milinkovich

I am very happy to announce that we are publishing a draft of the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process for community review and feedback. This specification process will be used by Jakarta EE as the new open specification process, replacing the JCP process previously used for Java EE. It is also expected that this new process will be of interest to other Eclipse working groups.

Case Study: How Bosch Is Succeeding with Open Source at Eclipse IoT

Tuesday, October 2, 2018 - 08:04 by Mike Milinkovich

How is it that a 150-year-old, 400,000 employee industrial conglomerate is competing and winning in the rapidly involving IoT software industry? We’ve just published a case study in which Bosch shares how open collaboration at the Eclipse Foundation factors into that success. This case study is required reading for any organization considering pursuing an open source strategy.

Jakarta EE Status – September 2018 Update

Thursday, September 27, 2018 - 17:21 by Mike Milinkovich

Migrating Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation and Jakarta EE is a process not an event. In the past couple of weeks however, several very important milestones have occurred that deserve to be recognized.

K8s at the Edge – Some Context on the New Kubernetes IoT Working Group

Wednesday, September 26, 2018 - 07:00 by Mike Milinkovich

It’s hard to believe that Google released Kubernetes as an open source project only three years ago. What began as the Borg cluster management platform to provide services like Gmail and YouTube at global scale is now the standard orchestration layer at the center of a massive industry shift to cloud native.

Jakarta EE Progress to Date

Thursday, May 24, 2018 - 07:07 by Mike Milinkovich

Last September Oracle announced, with the support of IBM and Red Hat, that Java EE was going to move to the Eclipse Foundation. Since then Fujitsu, Payara and Tomitribe have all joined the initiative with strategic-level commitments.

A New Logo for the Eclipse Foundation

Tuesday, April 10, 2018 - 08:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Since the beginning of the Eclipse Foundation in 2004 we have had two corporate logos, both of which happened to be the same logo as used by the Eclipse IDE. For a long time that was a good idea, as the Eclipse IDE was definitely our flagship project.

On Complexity and Good Intentions

Friday, March 23, 2018 - 10:18 by Mike Milinkovich

We are now about six months into the process of migrating Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, and I think we’re all learning a lot as we go. I wanted to take a moment and take stock of the scale of this project, its complexity, and where we are.
