A new whitepaper from Berylls by AlixPartners examines the potential cost, time, and strategic benefits of open source middleware for the automotive industry. Eclipse S-CORE features prominently throughout the paper as a concrete example of an emerging open source middleware initiative.
A number of resources have been published or updated in recent weeks by the European Commission, ENISA, standards organisations, national cybersecurity authorities, and open source organisations. With so much to wade through, we have collected some of the most relevant resources to get you started.

Nine hack coaches, two tracks, and a room full of people ready to build together in Friedrichshafen.
If you want to put your organisation in front of developers, architects, and the people who actually decide what gets adopted, here's where to do it and why.
Eclipse Theia 1.74 introduces 60 improvements, including a new AI First perspective, enhanced AI session management, per-session model selection, a telemerty framework and server-side compaction for long-running AI interactions. Check out the release overview to discover what’s new for users, adopters, and developers.
The Eclipse Foundation and OWASP partnership arrives at exactly the right moment, not as a proactive initiative but as a reactive necessity. The open source ecosystem has spent years operating on a distributed trust model where security responsibility is diffuse by design. The CRA upends that model by imposing legal accountability on manufacturers, including those whose products incorporate open source dependencies. That changes the calculus for every enterprise shipping into Europe.
BRUSSELS and Wilmington, DE – 30 July 2026 – The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, and the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP), a global nonprofit foundation dedicated to improving software security, today announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen open source security and support industry readiness for the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

For decades, the automotive industry assumed the answer was the conference room: draft the document, hold the meeting, reach agreement, then build. Eclipse SDV proposes something else entirely - publish the code first, validate it together, and let that experience produce the standard. What LG Electronics calls “Code First” wasn’t just an open-source strategy. It was an argument for rewriting how the auto industry collaborates.
Eclipse Theia 1.73 is now available and introduces a strong set of new features, including AI Registry integration for easily discovering and installing MCP servers and skills. The release also adds provider-native server-side tools, Mermaid diagrams in AI chat, OAuth 2.1 support for remote MCP servers, and many additional platform improvements.
A coordinated effort to secure open source is overdue. But routing the world’s most sensitive security data through a single jurisdiction recreates the very weakness it sets out to fix. In an immediate response, a new initiative has been announced to coordinate the full vulnerability remediation lifecycle.
Open source collaboration sounds great in theory, but the journey from observer to active contributor, especially for a company seeking strategic business advantage, can feel complicated. How do you start, and more importantly, how do you gain influence in a massive ecosystem?
At the Eclipse Foundation, we witness this transformation daily. This is the story of how LKS Next, the technology and consulting company within the Mondragon Corporation, went from having zero positioning in the dataspace domain to becoming a recognised leader in Eclipse Tractus-X, one of the Foundation’s most active projects, in less than 18 months.
The automotive industry is undergoing one of the most profound transformations in its history. While discussions often centre on electrification or autonomous driving, the real paradigm shift is driven by software. The emergence of the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) marks a transition from hardware-centric engineering to software-centric value creation. Yet this shift is not merely technological, but also cultural: it fundamentally changes how innovation takes place.
BRUSSELS – 30 JUNE 2026 – The Eclipse Foundation, one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, in collaboration with the Open Regulatory Compliance (ORC) Working Group, today announced the launch of the ORC Learning Hub, a free global education initiative designed to help the people responsible for building, maintaining, securing, and governing open source software prepare for the European Union’s
Eclipse Open VSX has reached an important milestone in its evolution as open source infrastructure for developer tooling. The project now serves millions of developers worldwide through AI-native IDEs, cloud development environments, and VS Code-compatible platforms, delivering more than 600 million extension downloads every month.
Eclipse Theia’s OCX26 project update highlights a year of strong momentum across the platform, Theia AI, and the Theia IDE, including around 1,200 merged PRs, close to 80 contributors, and a Codie 2025 Award. Watch the recap to learn how Theia is evolving for custom tools, AI-native IDEs, and Eclipse RCP modernization.
