Editor's Note

Welcome to 2020 and our first community newsletter of the new year and the new decade! With so many interesting and innovative projects underway and strong community engagement, I have no doubt that 2020 will be an exciting year for all of us in the Eclipse community.

To give you just a small glimpse into the great progress some of our project teams are making, we’re featuring three projects you’ll want to follow throughout 2020 and beyond:

• Eclipse Corrosion: Max Bureck provides an overview of this Eclipse IDE-based development environment for the Rust programming language and its comprehensive feature set.
• Eclipse Kuksa: Johannes Kristan celebrates the first release of this software platform and ecosystem for Vehicle-2-X scenarios with an update on project achievements.
• Eclipse Theia: Sven Efftinge explains why so many companies are using this extensible, multi-language platform to develop all-in-one cloud and desktop IDEs.

Also, don’t miss our News section this month. We’re heavily involved in a number of important, upcoming events — including Cloud Native for Java (CN4J) Day, which will be a watershed day in the open source movement — and we’ve provided details to help you plan your participation and take advantage of special offers.

Finally, be sure to check our lists so you can stay up to date with the latest happenings here at the Eclipse Foundation:

• New Project Proposals
• New Project Releases
• Upcoming Eclipse Events

In next month’s newsletter, we’ll turn our focus to Jakarta EE. With momentum toward Jakarta EE 9 building, there’s a lot going on in this very vibrant Eclipse community, so make sure to bookmark our newsletter page and watch your inbox for details.

Happy Reading!
