Strategy

Welcome to the Eclipse Foundation AISBL

Thursday, January 14, 2021 - 01:00 by Mike Milinkovich

Today, we’re announcing that the Eclipse Foundation has successfully completed all of the necessary formalities and has formally established the Eclipse Foundation AISBL, an international non-profit association based in Brussels, Belgium.

As a European-based global organization, the Eclipse Foundation is in the ideal position to build on the growing momentum of strategic open source in Europe and on our strength in the region to support open source innovation globally.

What’s ahead for Open Source in 2021 and beyond

Thursday, January 7, 2021 - 07:41 by Mike Milinkovich

For some reason, the tradition amongst most technology pundits is to spend the waning weeks and days of the past year making prognostications about what’s to come. I’m all for introspection, but making guesses right before the holidays usually means I’m going to forget what I said (wrote?) after my holiday break. Besides, I’d much rather focus on beginnings than endings.

An update on the Eclipse Foundation’s move to Europe

Thursday, August 20, 2020 - 06:03 by Mike Milinkovich

In May we announced that the Eclipse Foundation is becoming a Belgian international nonprofit association. I wanted to take this opportunity to provide you with an update on the progress of the transition, the next steps, and what it all means to our global community of developers and diverse membership base.

Real-World IoT Adoption

Tuesday, March 10, 2020 - 12:57 by Mike Milinkovich

The results of our first IoT Commercial Adoption survey tell a clear story about what organizations are doing with IoT right now and their plans for production deployments. The goal of the survey was to go beyond the IoT Developer Survey we’ve conducted for the last six years to gain insight into the industry landscape from the point of view of a broader spectrum of IoT ecosystem stakeholders.

Here are some of the key findings from the survey:

Introducing Eclipse Labs

Thursday, May 13, 2010 - 13:42 by Mike Milinkovich

Back in December, I discussed a number of initiatives that the Eclipse Foundation was going to be working on in 2010. The one that attracted the most feedback was “Eclipse Labs”. Well, we are very happy to announce that thanks to Google, this idea has become a reality.

It’s a Dessert Topping and a Floor Wax

Friday, December 11, 2009 - 09:21 by Mike Milinkovich

Last week we saw probably more conversation than any of us wanted about the notion that Eclipse is a trade association and therefore not an open source community. I believe that perspective to be misguided as it implies those two states are somehow mutually exclusive. They are not. And it is our community’s embrace of both that makes Eclipse unique.

Membership Value Programs for 2010

Wednesday, December 9, 2009 - 15:28 by Mike Milinkovich

Monday I blogged about some of the program plans we have for 2010 that are targeted at our project and committer community. Today, let’s turn to some of the things that we have in store for our members and the commercial ecosystem around Eclipse. Not all of these are new, but in each case there is significant value to the community, and there are at least a few new twists that we have planned for 2010.

Collaboration Is Just Good Business

Last week at the Open World Forum, I had the pleasure of attending Michael Tiemann’s talk on the “Road to the Digital Recovery”. Michael kindly summarized his key points on his blog.

The most interesting sound bite from Michael’s talk was his estimate that $1 trillion is wasted every year in ICT spending. His logic is:

Ideas Are Cheap

By far and away, my favourite quote from Cory Doctorow‘s talk at EclipseCon was: “Ideas are cheap. Execution is hard.” Those truly are words to live by.
