Board of Directors Elections
The 2021 elections for the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors are underway. Nominations are now open for Committer and Contributing Member representatives.
Send an email to elections@eclipse.org to nominate someone for a position on the Board. Be sure to indicate whether the nomination is for the Committer or Contributing Member position. Self-nominations are welcome. Each position has a one-year team, commencing April 1, 2021.
Nominations close on January 29 and voting runs from February 11 to March 4 (see the full timeline here).
Elected Board representatives play a vital role in the Eclipse Foundation governance process, providing insight into issues and opinions of the broader membership. We encourage all eligible members to participate.
Eclipse Foundation AISBL Officially Established
Last week, we announced that the Eclipse Foundation has officially established the Eclipse Foundation AISBL, an international non-profit association based in Brussels, Belgium. This announcement is the culmination of months of work since we first announced our intent to establish the Eclipse Foundation as European in May 2020.
Part of the transition effort has involved updating our membership legal documents and bylaws to reflect European-based governance. Now that this process is complete, and the new Belgian-based organization is operational, we will be reaching out to each member individually to have them update their membership documents.
If your business is deploying or using commercial IoT and edge computing solutions, take a few minutes before February 28 to complete our 2021 IoT and Edge Commercial Adoption Survey.
This is the second year we’re running a survey focused on IoT commercial adoption, and the first year it includes questions about edge technologies and edge computing workloads. The result of the previous survey were published in March 2020.
The insights provided by the survey will help all IoT and edge ecosystem stakeholders — software vendors, platform vendors, solution providers, and manufacturing organizations — make strategic and technology decisions that meet business and industry needs. Click here to complete the survey.
Get Involved With the Marketing Team
The Eclipse Foundation marketing team is here to help you connect and communicate with the Eclipse community. Working together, we can communicate the value of open source, increase awareness of the technologies available, and create connections around the world.
In our latest member case study, we highlight Obeo, a company that specializes in open source solutions that are used to create and transform complex industrial systems, IT applications, and corporate digital operations.
Just two years after joining the Eclipse Foundation, Obeo took a bold step and became a Strategic member with a representative on the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors. The move has expanded Obeo’s influence and visibility, and helped the company grow internationally.
As mentioned in the article above, we encourage all members to work with the marketing team to participate in our case study program. Email marketing@eclipse.org if you would like to discuss this opportunity.
