Running a successful open source project requires investment, clear goals, and adherence to core principles like transparency, openness, and meritocracy.

Code editors are up for grabs, and the Eclipse Foundation is supporting this innovation and choice.

For the Theia community, this is a meaningful milestone. It confirms something many of us already felt simply by watching adoption: this project is becoming one of the most exciting developments in the open source dev tooling landscape!

The “Open Source Stewards and the Cyber Resilience Act” white paper explores a new role introduced by the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): the open source steward. This is a newly introduced actor that doesn’t fit neatly into the existing categories of manufacturers or distributors but still carries specific obligations under the CRA.

November 12th, 2025 — The Eclipse Safe Open Vehicle Core (S-CORE) project today announced the active participation of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. as a new member of its open source community. By leveraging Qualcomm Technologies Inc.’s Snapdragon® Digital Chassis™ solutions, S-CORE will run seamlessly on Qualcomm Technologies’ established high-performance hardware for future software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

We are happy to announce the release of SUMO version 1.25.0. The download links are at https://sumo.dlr.de/Download.

This release brings new features for routing (preferences, thresholds) and makes it easier to build small road networks that can be extended later. It also fixes many bugs.

Join us in Brussels from 21–23 April 2026, and grab your early bird discount before 6 January. Don’t miss the chance to be part of the future of open collaboration.

Bringing cross-domain expertise, Android integration know-how, and automation excellence to the open-source SDV ecosystem.

Across the Eclipse Foundation, an expanding ecosystem of projects is redefining what AI can do, with efforts that span developer tools, data governance, trustworthy model design, and intelligent agent orchestration.

Adoptium is happy to announce the immediate availability of Eclipse Temurin 8u472, 11.0.29, 17.0.17, 21.0.9 and 25.0.1. As always, all binaries are thoroughly tested and available free of charge without usage restrictions on a wide range of platforms.

As we eagerly await the Eclipse S-CORE 0.5 release, it’s no small feat keeping up with the flurry of activity within the Eclipse SDV ecosystem. That’s exactly why we put together this quarterly newsletter:

The team has just added support for Eclipse ThreadX, another Eclipse Foundation-hosted RTOS — bringing an additional option for the RTOS foundation.

Our first Code & Compliance event was a success! Thank you to everyone who joined, asked tough questions, and shared insights across talks and panels. 

Codethink announced that it has successfully achieved a positive and complete Functional Safety Assessment for the Eclipse Trustable Software Framework (TSF).
