In this article, we introduce the embedded special interest group (embedded SIG), hosted by the Eclipse Foundation. The embedded SIG is an open collaboration of embedded vendors and service providers, with the goal of strengthening the open source ecosystem for building web- and cloud-based tools used for embedded development. The SIG provides the structure for participants to coordinate efforts, share insights and collaborate on technical initiatives and standards.
Getting involved in this new software-defined vehicles initiative is a unique opportunity to have an equal voice alongside industry leaders such as Bosch, Microsoft, BlackBerry, Arm, Red Hat, EPAM Systems, ETAS, and others.
It’s a rare event when a new operating system comes along. And it’s even rarer to have the opportunity to influence the direction of that OS at its earliest stages. So I’m delighted to tell you that today we are announcing a new working group and top-level project that gives you that opportunity.
The results of our first-ever Cloud Developer Survey are in, providing important insight into the development tools being used today, the role of open source, and the capabilities developers are looking for in next generation cloud-based tools and IDEs.
Today we announced that the Eclipse Foundation is the first open source foundation to confirm its open source development process conforms with the OpenChain ISO 5230 international standard for open source license compliance. This means that every Eclipse Foundation project is being developed under a process which conforms to the ISO 5230 standard.
A critical part of open source software is collaboration. At the Eclipse Foundation, we’ve found that participating in working groups helps organizations get the most out of this collaborative spirit.
