The European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) and the Eclipse Foundation have formalised a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), establishing a framework for close cooperation between the two organisations.
2026 will be the year we turn momentum into milestones. The first milestone has already been reached: At CES in Las Vegas, 32 automotive companies signed the Memorandum of Understanding for open source collaboration.
Recent global outages reveal that even well-tested and certified software can fail at scale, underscoring a growing trust gap in the software supply chain. This will be explored in John Ellis’ OCX session, “Rebuilding trust: From open source to open accountability.”
As we publish this month’s ORC update, the community is right in the middle of Open Source Week in Brussels. With FOSDEM and a packed schedule of policy, compliance, and community discussions underway, the energy and relevance of our work has never been clearer. That momentum is echoed by the strong response to our Code & Compliance event, which sold out! This signals a community that is growing, engaged, and ready to build on its progress.
We are happy to announce the release of SUMO version 1.26.0. The download links are at https://sumo.dlr.de/Download.
The Open VSX Registry is core infrastructure in the developer supply chain, delivering extensions developers download, install, and rely on every day. As the ecosystem grows, maintaining that trust matters more than ever.
AI coding tools are transforming software development — but the conversation focuses on productivity while ignoring the human cost. This video explores why developers increasingly report feeling drained, unproductive, and even useless despite higher output.
The first comprehensive collection of EU RISC-V components brings together solutions from leading European contributors, giving organisations access to verified, industry-ready IP
MCP makes it easy to plug AI agents into everything, but that convenience can backfire when tool lists and descriptions flood the context window. This post explains why “more tools” can mean worse outcomes and shares concrete ways to keep agents lean and reliable.
AI coding often fails not because of tools or security, but because of leadership decisions that unintentionally block learning and experimentation. This article and video uncover three invisible blockers and explain how leaders can enable real AI coding adoption.
Bloomberg's move to Eclipse Temurin shows why foundation governance and vendor independence matter more than ever in enterprise open source strategy.
At CES 2026, 32 automotive open source leaders signed last year's Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on software-defined vehicles.
Why do AI coding tools fail despite sophisticated setups? This video uncovers three invisible blockers, from context overload to premature automation, and explains what actually works in practice.
Late January in Brussels has become an important moment for anyone working at the intersection of open source and European regulation. For the ORC community, this week is particularly relevant. The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is moving from interpretation to implementation, and many of the conversations happening during this week focus on what that means in practice.
From ongoing releases and a redesigned website to the growing success of the Eclipse Temurin, 2025 was a year of growth, stability, and renewed commitment to delivering high-quality, open source Java runtimes to the world.
Initiative 31 is an evaluation project supported by the Eclipse IDE Working Group, focused on the long term sustainability of Eclipse SWT, the Eclipse Platform, and the products built on top of them.
Slash commands in Theia AI introduce a simple way to trigger reusable, multi-step AI workflows with minimal interaction cost. The demo walks through new built-in commands in Theia 1.67 and shows how teams can define their own AI-native workflows with ease.
Eclipse SDV and VDA bring together 32 automotive industry leaders to drive open collaboration for software-defined mobility, delivering up to 40% reductions in development and maintenance effort and up to 30% faster time to market.
As 2025 comes to an end, it is the right time to look back at how the Oniro Working Group has evolved. If the first half of the year was about exploration and setting up our tools, the second half has been about putting those tools to the test.
Over the past year, we have built greater clarity around the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and its implications for open source development.
