On Patents and Specifications

Thursday, May 13, 2021 - 15:20 by Mike Milinkovich

We’ve been fielding a number of questions lately about the intersection of our spec process and patents. A couple of these community discussions have gone off in directions that are off target, factually incorrect, or both.

Eclipse ioFog 2.0 Takes Us to the Next Era of EdgeOps

Thursday, May 13, 2021 - 10:43 by Mike Milinkovich

On Tuesday, the Eclipse ioFog project team announced the release of Eclipse ioFog 2.0, and I invite everyone to join me in congratulating them and the Eclipse Edge Native Working Group for the achievement. Thanks to the community’s efforts, the release delivers new EdgeOps functionality that makes it faster and easier to develop production-grade edge applications and manage edge AI deployments.

Open VSX: A Vendor-Neutral Home for VS Code Extensions

Tuesday, March 30, 2021 - 07:33 by Mike Milinkovich

With the transition of the Open VSX Registry from TypeFox to the Eclipse Foundation, the industry now has a vendor-neutral and publicly hosted open source alternative to the Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace for VS Code extensions. The move increases transparency and flexibility for extension users, extension publishers, and tool developers.

Eclipse Jetty 11 Supports the Big Bang

Wednesday, March 24, 2021 - 08:19 by Mike Milinkovich

I’m happy to share the news that Eclipse Jetty 11 has been released and certified as compatible with the Jakarta Servlet v5.0 specification. Released as part of Jakarta EE 9, this new version of the Servlet specification uses the new jakarta.* namespace. Often referred to as the “Big Bang”, this new namespace is a shift that will enable future cloud native Java innovations for the enterprise Java ecosystem.

Meet Adoptium: Open Source Java Runtimes for Enterprises

Support for Asian Communities from the Eclipse Foundation

Monday, March 22, 2021 - 17:18 by Mike Milinkovich

We at the Eclipse Foundation have watched with mounting concern the recent violent attacks on people of Asian descent. We condemn these actions and the bigotry that has driven them in the strongest possible terms. As an organization we stand in support of Asian people.

The Eclipse Foundation’s Move to Europe: Membership Impacts

Friday, January 15, 2021 - 03:00 by Mike Milinkovich

This is a continuation of yesterday’s Welcome to the Eclipse Foundation AISBL blog.

Yesterday, we announced that we completed our move to European-based governance with the creation of Eclipse Foundation AISBL, a Belgian international nonprofit association. In this post, I wanted to take this opportunity to provide an overview of the membership-impacting changes associated with our move to Europe.

Welcome to the Eclipse Foundation AISBL

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.

Jakarta EE 9 Delivers the Big Bang

Tuesday, December 8, 2020 - 10:35 by Mike Milinkovich

The Jakarta EE 9 platform release announced during today’s JakartaOne Livestream virtual conference has a notable change: The package namespace is now jakarta.* instead of javax.*. Moving all the specification APIs to the jakarta namespace (sometimes referred to as the “big bang”) is a simple, but very significant, update that opens the door to the next era of innovation using cloud native technologies for Java.
