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...

Donations are an important way for our Eclipse users to give back, and to support our open source community. Last September, we announced that all donations to the Friends of Eclipse program would be invested in the Eclipse platform development. In a short period of time we have accomplished a...

Last month we announced the Eclipse IoT Day @ Thingmonk on September 12 in London, UK. We have now added two new speakers: Boris Adryan from Zühlke Engineering will be talk about Information Models and Ontologies for IoT. I first met Boris when he was speaking at a previous Thingmonk...

One of my favourite IoT events is the Thingmonk conference produced by Redmonk. The speakers and attendees are always amazing and provide great insight into the IoT community in the UK and Europe. This year the speaker line-up for Thingmonk is looking awesome so I expect to learn lots again...

The Eclipse Neon release is now out. I also noticed Eclipse Marketplace just passed the 20 million successful install milestone. Wow, that is a lot of developers using Eclipse Marketplace. For the Neon release, there are two key features that I think will accelerate the use of Eclipse Marketplace Client...

Two weeks ago, we informed the Eclipse community cross-projects mailing list that a unique user id (UUID) had been introduced into the upcoming Eclipse Neon release. The UUID was introduced to help the Eclipse Foundation better understand how developers are using Eclipse. However, the implementation automatically generated the identifier, and...

The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) recently published a survey about the trends of open source and open standards in the telecommunication industry. Like some other standards groups, OMA has noticed a trend in developer-led adoption of standards and the importance of open source to attract developers. The Eclipse IoT Working...
