If your continued employment depends not just on the quality of the software you employ, then, but perceptions of the quality of the software you employ, the halo effect offered by foundations that actively triage their assets is likely to be of benefit.

Then Along Came Eclipse


Eclipse: a vibrant open source community


“Eclipse is an open source community focused on developing a development platform of runtimes, frameworks and exemplary tools that make it easy and cost-effective to build and deploy software solutions.”

Eclipse: a sustainable eco-system


“Eclipse is a vendor-neutral consortium of major software vendors, solution providers, corporations, educational and research institutions and individuals working together to create a sustainable eco-system that enhances, promotes and cultivates the Eclipse open platform with complementary products, services and capabilities.”

Our constraints

One example : AIRBUS A300

• Program began in 1972 and will stop in 2007

2007-1972 = 35 years...

• Support will last until 2050

2050-1972 = 78 years !!!

products

Redefining the open source foundation


Technology Agnostic

• Definition of an Eclipse Project:

– The project will conform to the Eclipse Development Process

– The project will conform to the Eclipse Intellectual Property Policies and its related procedures

– The project will be licensed under the Eclipse Public License unless otherwise and unanimously approved by the Board.

• There is no requirement that Eclipse projects must utilize the Java language or OSGi modularity (plug-in) model.

The Project Lifecycle Diet


Long Term Support


Long Term Support

• Delivering value to the ecosystem

• Reduce costs for all who rely on Eclipse code in their products

• Opportunity for members to lower resource requirements


User-Led Open Source

• Eclipse Working Groups (WG) allow organizations to collaborate and innovate on the creation of technology, specifications and best practices for a specific industry or market.

• Eclipse Industry WG provide: – The legal agreements to share intellectual property rights.

– The ability to pool resources to create new technology and standards.

– IT infrastructure to facilitate collaboration between a distributed team.

– A governance model and process to ensure a level playing field

– A technology platform



Solution: The Eclipse Polarsys Initiative
