Java: Free At Last

Thursday, September 7, 2017 - 16:45 by Mike Milinkovich

There was lots of news in the land of Java yesterday. If you have not already seen the posts by Mark Reinhold and Donald Smith of Oracle, I encourage you to read:

EPLv2: A New Version of the Eclipse Public License

Friday, April 7, 2017 - 14:17 by Mike Milinkovich

The Eclipse Foundation is in the process of revising the Eclipse Public License (EPL). Refreshing a popular open source license is a big job, and one that we have been chipping away at for over a year.

Progress Update on IP @ Eclipse

Monday, August 22, 2016 - 14:01 by Mike Milinkovich

As promised in my last post, today we are rolling out the new Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA). As I mentioned earlier, if you already have an active Eclipse CLA, you don’t have to do anything….your CLA remains active and you can convert to the new agreement when it expires after three years.

Contributor Agreement Update

In addition to overhauling our IP processes, next week the Eclipse Foundation will be updating our contributor agreements. The changes we’ll be making include:

Overhauling IP Management at the Eclipse Foundation

Wednesday, June 29, 2016 - 09:00 by Mike Milinkovich

At our recent face-to-face Board meeting earlier this month, an agreement in principle was made to move ahead with the largest overhaul of our intellectual property processes since the inception of the Eclipse Foundation 12 years ago. Now, don’t get too excited because months of work are going to be required before the new policies are approved, and the implementation of new processes are completed.

Eclipse Tooling Platforms

Tuesday, March 29, 2016 - 11:05 by Mike Milinkovich

Two weeks ago at EclipseCon, the Eclipse Che project announced its 4.0 release. This announcement is the first major result from the Eclipse Cloud Development strategy we announced eighteen months ago.

Investing in Eclipse Tools

Friday, January 15, 2016 - 11:03 by Mike Milinkovich

Yesterday I talked about three interesting new runtime projects which have joined the Eclipse community, and made the point that we are extending our reach beyond our “…original comfort zone of tools…”. But that doesn’t mean that we are not seriously investing in tools. In fact, in 2016 the Eclipse Foundation itself is hiring new staff to do exactly that.

A Great Start to 2016

Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 15:22 by Mike Milinkovich

Yesterday was quietly one of the biggest days ever for Eclipse. That is because of three new project proposals that went live. It’s certainly unusual for us to have three new projects at once, but I’m not sure if it’s unprecedented. However, I am really excited about these projects, and what they mean for the future of the Eclipse community.

Hello Andrea!

Thursday, October 8, 2015 - 09:30 by Mike Milinkovich

A few weeks ago, Andrew called me into his office, and told me “I’m sure you’ve figured this out already, but I’m transgender.” To which I replied “Uhhh….I had no idea. ” I am so oddly oblivious to these sorts of things, it’s sad.

Today Andrew becomes Andrea.

Proposal: Funding Eclipse Platform Development

Tuesday, September 29, 2015 - 08:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Last month I announced that the Eclipse Foundation is going to begin using personal and corporate donations to fund Eclipse platform development. Of course, the devil is in the details, and as an open source community we need to define an open and transparent process for how work is prioritized, and funds are allocated.
