Hi all,
You are invited to take part in the Open Community for Tooling [1], a renewed gathering that continues the spirit of EclipseCon within the broader Open Community Experience (OCX) [2]. The event will take place in Brussels, from 21 to 23 April 2026.
The Open Community for Tooling brings together contributors, adopters, and experts driving the evolution of open source developer tools and IDE technologies. It provides a collaborative space to exchange ideas on software modelling, cloud-based tooling, AI-assisted development, and open standards.
🎤 Call for Speakers
If you are building, extending, or integrating open source tools, we encourage you to share your insights and experience.
Submit your proposal before the early bird deadline on 31 October or by the final deadline on 13 November [3].
🎟️ Registration
Join us [4] in Brussels and be part of a vibrant community shaping the next generation of open source development tools! 
Best regards,
Thomas
Program Manager, Development Tools | Eclipse Foundation
