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.
The Open Source Community Day is a dedicated event co-organised by the Eclipse Foundation and the CEI-Sphere project, bringing together industrial leaders, open source communities, and EU-funded research initiatives to foster dialogue and collaboration in open source across various domains, from digital infrastructure to vertical applications.

Perforce Software, in partnership with the Eclipse Foundation, has released the findings of the 2025 State of Automotive Software Development Survey. The report provides key insights into the current practices and emerging trends within the automotive software industry, including the use of open source software. The survey, conducted in Q4 2024, gathered responses from more than 650 automotive development professionals worldwide.
The report uncovers challenges related to open source support and Big Data management: Organizations using EOL software were almost three times more likely to have failed a compliance audit last year and 47% of organisations that handle Big Data expressed low confidence in the administration of those technologies.
