EclipseCon 2021 Call for Proposals
EclipseCon 2021, our biggest event of the year, will be held October 25-28 and the call for conference talk proposals is now open!
EclipseCon is the leading conference for developers, architects, and open source business leaders who want to learn about Eclipse technologies, share best practices, and more. The conference provides the Eclipse ecosystem and the industry’s leading minds an opportunity to explore common challenges and innovate together on open source runtimes, tools, and frameworks for cloud and edge applications, IoT, artificial intelligence, connected vehicles and transportation, digital ledger technologies, and much more.
Adoptium was founded by multiple participants, including many Java developers and vendors such as Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, IBM, iJUG, Karakun AG, Microsoft, New Relic, and Red Hat. The Adoptium Working Group will provide the Java ecosystem with fully compatible, high-quality distributions of Java runtimes based on OpenJDK source code.
The Adoptium Working Group complements the Eclipse Adoptium project, which provides a trusted location where developers and enterprises can download compatible binaries of OpenJDK builds. The goal of the Adoptium Working Group is to provide the infrastructure, marketing, community building, and developer advocacy work needed to continue to ensure timely releases to the community and further the adoption of Eclipse Adoptium.
All members are welcome to participate in the working group. Please reach out to membership@eclipse.org to find out more.
Commitment to an Inclusive and Welcoming Community
As described further in our Code of Conduct, we are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment in the Eclipse community. It is paramount that each member of the community is treated with trust, empathy, and respect.
In light of the recent violent attacks on people of Asian descent, Mike Milinkovich, the Eclipse Foundation Executive Director, condemned these actions and the bigotry that has driven them in a blog post. We welcome any and all suggestions on how we can become a more inclusive and welcoming place for everyone.
Open VSX White Paper Released
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.
To mark this exciting development in the Eclipse Cloud DevTools community, we’ve released a new white paper that explores why the industry needs a more flexible and open approach to VS Code extensions and marketplace technologies.
The Eclipse community works together to achieve great things, and it’s important to share this progress with the greater open source community through the media.
