Last week, I was invited by my colleagues at Eclipse Research to do a talk at Aveiro Open Source Connect. Rosaria and André opened the show with an introduction to Open Source best practices, licenses, and how Eclipse Research helps in EU Research projects. I followed up with at talk on how we develop specifications and standards at Eclipse Foundation with Jakarta EE as an example. Check out Developing Specifications – Jakarta EE: a Real World Example.
These kind of events where we participate across the different areas we work within at Eclipse Foundation are extremely valuable. Bringing expertise with different angles gives the attendees valuable insight in how open source is leveraged in areas they may not be familiar with. At Eclipse Foundation, we have the opportunity to do this since we are involved in so many areas throughout the World.
It was only a short visit to Aveiro this time, but of course, there was time to try out the amazing food that Portugal has to offer. Among other things, the delicious Ovo moles de Aveiro.
