As we are wrapping up the year, it is a good time to reflect on all the great things that have happened to the Eclipse IoT community this year. Eclipse IoT in 4 figures The 26 different open-source projects that are hosted at Eclipse IoT total 2.3M+ lines of code...

2016 has been an incredible year for the IoT industry and the pace of innovation looks like it will accelerate in 2017. Last week I participated in a webinar, organized by Canonical, on the IoT trends to watch in 2017. It was a really good discussion, so feel free to...

A couple of days ago, Google announced that they were essentially rebranding Brillo to Android Things (I do love that name, by the way!), and finally opening it for a Developer Preview. There are a few things I already like very much in Android Things: It is already supported on...

The third edition of the Open IoT Challenge officially started one week ago. More than 80 teams have submitted their entries and are now in the running to win the Open IoT Challenge 3.0! Participants have about three months to complete their solution and show the world how open source...

At EclipseCon Europe I spent a few minutes chatting with István Ráth from IncQuery Labs. He was demoing a pretty awesome set of development tools for safety-critical domains (here: railway inter-locking system), and showing how to use them in combination with some cool Eclipse IoT Projects such as Eclipse Paho...

AF3 (AutoFOCUS3) is an open-source, model-based, development tool for distributed, reactive, embedded software systems. At EclipseCon Europe 2016, I spent a few minutes chatting with Johannes Eder and Thomas Böhm from the project team to learn more about the project. You can check out the project website at http://af3.fortiss.org The...

Today we announced a collaboration between Bosch, Red Hat and Eurotech to begin the work to create interoperable IoT components for an IoT cloud platform. This is the first step towards creating an open source IoT cloud platform that I hope one day will become the defacto implementation for IoT...

Eclipse IoT has just published a white paper that, although I’m obviously biased, is a nice read for anyone looking at understanding today’s IoT architectures, and the role that open source plays by providing some of the key software building blocks needed for implementing IoT solutions. More specifically, the white...

The Eclipse IoT community has grown considerably over the last 12 months. More importantly we have expanded the breadth of technology to include software that runs on devices, at the edge and the cloud. We have also learnt a lot about the software functionality required to build an IoT solution...

Over the past two years, I’ve delivered several training sessions and workshops about IoT Programming. Depending on the audience and their background, those sessions have been either one-day or two-day long. As you probably know, IoT is really broad, and one needs to be familiar with all the pieces involved...
