Community metrics for your eclipse.org project

Monday, January 14, 2013 - 16:46 by Benjamin Cabé

When you run a project at Eclipse, you are very likely interested in getting some indicators regarding the health of your community.

And as Randall Munroe suggests, maybe these indicators will be a good way for you to extrapolate on when your project will actually rule the world

It’s Going to be an Exciting Year

Friday, January 6, 2012 - 06:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Welcome to 2012 folks, its going to be a busy and exciting year. There will be a number of important new projects, programs and initiatives across the Eclipse community. When we’re done Eclipse and the Eclipse Foundation is going to be quite a different – and even more interesting – place. So in no particular order, here is a sampling of some of the big things I see coming.

Foundations Considered Useful

Friday, November 25, 2011 - 05:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Blogosphere and twittersphere are both abuzz this week as a result of Mikeal Rogers’ “Apache Considered Harmful” post. I thought the article made a number of important points about how the software world is changing, and changing very rapidly.

A Little Open Recognition

Wednesday, August 3, 2011 - 16:41 by Mike Milinkovich

The last few weeks have seen two great articles discussing the openness and transparency of the Eclipse community. The two reports were completely independent of one another, but both highly valued the open and transparent data we make available about our projects, and the vendor-neutral governance model that helps sustain Eclipse.

Open Forum

Monday, July 4, 2011 - 02:30 by Mike Milinkovich

I just got home from Germany after a whirlwind trip to join the Eclipse Democamps in Hamburg and Berlin. And now it’s time to head back already. Next week is the Open Forum in Stuttgart, and I have the great honour of joining an all star cast of keynotes including Dr.

Hudson Now At Eclipse

Wednesday, May 4, 2011 - 11:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Today’s announcement that Oracle is proposing to move the Hudson project to the Eclipse Foundation is big news. It’s news because of the popularity of the project, its history and, let’s face it, the Hudson/Jenkins fork that happened a few months back.

OpenJDK Governance

Saturday, January 29, 2011 - 16:30 by Mike Milinkovich

On Friday, Mark Reinhold, mentioned that I have recently spent some time helping to help flesh out a draft governance model for the OpenJDK community. As John Duimovich described it, our goal is for OpenJDK to be “…an open, transparent, and meritocratic project that can be run in a lightweight and efficient manner”. I think we’ve largely succeeded in getting there.

Introducing Orion

Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 08:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Sometime later today some very exciting new code is going to show up in the e4 git repository at Eclipse. “Orion” is a brand new adventure for Eclipse, and one which we hope will interest and excite a whole new community: web developers.

Christmas Comes Early for Java Developers

Wednesday, December 15, 2010 - 10:05 by Mike Milinkovich

Today Google announced that they will be contributing two key pieces of Java tooling technology to proposed Eclipse Foundation projects. Two new projects are bringing to Eclipse product-quality code which have been highly regarded by Java developers for many years. They will fill major requirements that the Eclipse developer community have been hoping to see in open source for a long time.

Take a Deep Breath, Then Vote for Eclipse: Our View on the JCP

Wednesday, October 27, 2010 - 17:48 by Mike Milinkovich

My goodness, this past week has seen a flurry of despair around Java and the JCP. Most of it misguided, in my humble opinion. Matt Asay’s article does a good job of capturing all of the angst in one spot. If you haven’t read it, I recommend that you do even though I disagree with much of it.
