A report published by ONEKEY, a Germany-based cybersecurity company, has revealed that the German economy is not prioritising the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). 

As the 2025 Eclipse SDV Hackathon approaches, we spoke with this year’s Hack MCs, Andre Bott of Bosch Digital and Christian Heissenberger of the Eclipse Foundation, about what drives their passion for hackathons, what excites them most about this year’s unique two-location format, and why these events play such a vital role in fostering innovation and collaboration within the SDV community.

Aurélie Caron reflects on representing the Eclipse Foundation at OSCAFest 2025 in Lagos, Nigeria, and speaking at the Women in Open Source Brunch. 

The ORC Working Group’s release of its CRA compliance resource inventory provides a much-needed starting point for developers, maintainers, and manufacturers working with open source. 

As summer winds down, ORC is gearing up for a busy event season. From global security summits to community-driven gatherings, this fall will be packed with opportunities to connect, share knowledge, and advance the conversation around the Cyber Resilience Act and upcoming regulations.

The one-size-fits-all structure of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) has raised concerns. Without careful consideration, the CRA could place undue burdens on maintainers and limit innovation. That’s where the Open Regulation Compliance (ORC) Working Group steps in.

In October last year, we marked a key achievement: 20,000 followers on LinkedIn. Less than a year later, we are pleased to share that this number has grown to 30,000.

The global open source community will gather in Brussels from 21 to 23 April 2026 for the Open Community Experience (OCX) 2026. It isn’t just another conference; it’s where six open source communities collide to shape the future of software, developer tools, mobility, AI, compliance, and research. With one pass, you get access to six experiences and endless opportunities.

Since joining the Eclipse Foundation in December, the OpenHW Foundation has significantly advanced its mission to develop, verify, and deliver high quality, open source RISC-V processor cores and related IP for commercial and industrial applications – and we’ve got some exciting announcements to share in the coming months.
