NEW ECLIPSE FOUNDATION WEBSITE AND LOGO

The role of our Foundation continues to evolve. To better reflect these changes, we have been working on creating a new distinct logo for the Foundation that is separate from the Eclipse projects, as well as revamping the look and feel for www.eclipse.org.

The main goal of the redesign is to clearly differentiate the Eclipse Foundation from the Eclipse IDE. We wanted the new website and new logo to reflect the Foundation as a collective of open source projects, working groups, members, and individual committers - all collaborating in the same space to create innovative technologies.

ECLIPSECON FRANCE ANNOUNCES THE PROGRAM

The program is ready! We had a record number of submissions, including a significant number of talks related to Jakarta EE and Eclipse MicroProfile. To better accommodate the increased breadth of the conference, we have added another room to the conference on Wednesday.

Thank you to the community for submitting, and to the program committee for choosing what is shaping up to be the strongest EclipseCon France program ever.
