The Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group continues its strong growth trajectory in 2026, welcoming a diverse set of new members from across the global mobility, transportation, and embedded systems ecosystem.
The keynote agenda at OCX26 addressed the broader context in which open source systems are designed and deployed. Across three days, speakers explored how open source intersects with digital sovereignty, trust, AI adoption, and regulatory change.
The 2026 State of Open Source Report shows that 98% of organisations are maintaining or expanding their use of open source. Open source is core infrastructure. The industry has solved adoption. It has not solved what comes next.
What was once a live demo on the show floor is now available to everyone as a fully documented, reproducible Eclipse SDV E2E Demo Blueprint.
The Open Community for Automotive (OCA) at OCX 2026 focused on how open source collaboration is transforming the software defined vehicle ecosystem and enabling a full middleware platform for series vehicle production.
In the growing constellation of Global South contributors shaping today’s open source ecosystem, Fon Emmanuel Noel Nfebe stands out as a hands-on builder, a humble mentor, and a quietly persistent innovator.
What’s new in the Eclipse SDV community? Our latest Eclipse SDV Newsletter is live, packed with insights, updates, and stories from across the open source SDV ecosystem.
On 28-29 April 2026, the Eclipse SDV community gathered at Esslingen University, Campus Stadtmitte, for the SDV HackFest HS Esslingen to strengthen the SDV ecosystem and project adoption.
The mobile and IoT software landscape is experiencing its most significant tectonic shift in over a decade. The emergence of OpenHarmony, and its commercial counterpart, HarmonyOS Next, represents a decisive break from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and the introduction of an entirely new, independent software stack. For the global open source community, and particularly for our ongoing work within the Eclipse Oniro project, this represents a massive "blue ocean" opportunity.

At OCX 2026, Eclipse Foundation leaders Ivar Grimstad and Tanja Obradovic laid out a clear message: Jakarta EE is not trying to reinvent enterprise Java. It is trying to modernise it without breaking what made it valuable in the first place.
At OCX 2026, the Eclipse Foundation brought together open source leaders, embedded systems engineers, and compliance experts to address two increasingly connected priorities: preparing for the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and operationalising the Eclipse Trustable Software Framework (TSF).
At OCX 2026, the Eclipse Foundation highlighted the growing role of open source in embedded and IoT development, with Eclipse ThreadX and RISC-V at the center of the conversation.
Held in Brussels, this year’s Open Community Experience (OCX) felt like an event arriving at exactly the right moment. Across three days of sessions, conversations, and keynotes, one theme became clear: open source is no longer simply a development model. It is becoming strategic infrastructure.
This recap covers the OC for Tooling track at Open Community Experience 2026 (OCX), with sessions focused on Eclipse Theia, AI-powered IDEs, open source developer tools, language engineering, and the growing role of tooling in modern software systems.
The open source ecosystem’s first foundation-operated managed service for critical developer infrastructure, with AWS, Google, and Cursor among its first enterprise customers
Data In Motion has been commissioned by the Sovereign Tech Fund to modernize the OSGi ecosystem over the next 12 months.
Open source infrastructure underpins much of the software world, but it often goes underfunded. That is exactly the gap that the Sovereign Tech Agency was created to close, by using a range of dedicated programs, including the Sovereign Tech Fund. OSGi got selected as one of the technologies to be improved.
