🥁 New project release! Eclipse INCEpTION offers a browser-based platform for semantic text annotation. Text annotation is the task of adding structured information to documents: marking which spans mention a person, a disease or a gene, recording how those mentions relate to each other, and linking each one to a concept in a knowledge base.

🎉 Eclipse SW360 has graduated to mature status! For over a decade, the Eclipse SW360 community has worked to develop an open source solution for managing software components and compliance information across organisations. SW360 provides a central catalogue for tracking software components, licences, projects, bills of materials, and vulnerability information. It also integrates with tools such as FOSSology to support software analysis and compliance workflows. Its graduation recognises the project's technical development and the community's commitment to open, collaborative processes. Congratulations to the Eclipse SW360 team and everyone who has contributed to this milestone!

🎤 On 9 December 2026, Gaël Blondelle, VP Community Operations & Secretary at the Eclipse Foundation, will take the stage at Open Source Experience in Paris for a keynote on building a vendor-neutral, European open source AI stack. His session, “Building the European open source AI stack: a vendor-neutral foundation for Europe”, will look at the technologies and open governance needed to support AI sovereignty in Europe, including @Open VSX, Eclipse LMOS, Eclipse PanEval, Eclipse Enclave, and Eclipse Edge. The keynote will be held in French, from 4:20-4:40 PM CET in Paris. Join us at the event 👉 hubs.la/Q04z6Y0F0 #DigitalSovereignty #OpenGovernance #EuropeanAI #AIstack

The State of Open Source in the Global South report showcased powerful insights, but the full picture comes from those living it every day. The webinar “Unveiling the State of OSS in the Global South” shares perspectives on how open source is used in the Global South and the realities developers face across the region. 📺 Watch the recording: hubs.la/Q04z-tdD0 🌍 Explore more stories: hubs.la/Q04z-ttK0 #GlobalVoicesOSS #CodeFromTheSouth #DeveloperCommunities

As Eclipse Foundation Executive Director @mmilinkov puts it, model weights alone do not necessarily provide the transparency, control, or independent governance organisations may need. That point is picked up by Amit Eyal Govrin in his latest article examining the Sovereign AI Foundation. He explores what sovereignty looks like beyond access to a model, including infrastructure, governance, the ability to change direction, and the technologies organisations actually deploy.

Many organisations already have software security measures. The harder question is whether those measures are visible, repeatable, and documented. That is one of the patterns emerging from early use of the OCCTET CRA Self-Assessment Portal. The new OCCTET toolkit is designed around that implementation gap, helping SMEs understand where they stand and connect assessment with software composition analysis, vulnerability management, SBOMs, VEX, and compliance evidence. The tools are free, open source, and available for organisations and projects to test today. 🌐 Learn more:  hubs.ly/Q04zvhNf0 #CyberResilienceAct #CRA #SoftwareSecurity #SBOM #Cybersecurity

Across industries, regions, and technology domains, we are seeing open source play an increasingly central role in shaping the systems that power today's digital economy. At the same time, the environment in which open source operates is evolving quickly. New regulatory frameworks, the rapid adoption of AI, increasing focus on security, shifting geopolitical dynamics, and growing focus on digital autonomy are reshaping expectations for how software is developed, governed, and maintained. In this context, the role of the #EclipseFdn as a vendor-neutral, trusted steward of open collaboration has never been more important.

Join the "Open Technology Suppliers Forum: from plans to actions" on 21 October 2026 online 👉​ hubs.la/Q04zvGVH0 The Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) is launching the Open Technology Suppliers Forum (OTSF), a structured collaboration environment for European software and service providers, with a particular focus on SMEs, independent software vendors and managed service providers. The OTSF bridges two directions: keeping technology providers informed about DSSC developments and standardisation activities, while creating a dedicated channel for their feedback to shape DSSC governance frameworks in return. The inaugural webinar marks a significant milestone: the full revamp of the DSSC Toolbox, transitioning from a static directory to a dynamically validated, endorsed catalog of interoperable data space tools. Whether you are a technology provider building data space solutions, a member of an initiative such as IDSA, Gaia-X or the Eclipse Dataspace Working Group, or simply active in the European data economy, this session is your opportunity to directly influence the standards and tools shaping Europe's data infrastructure.

👏 We would like to thank our sponsor, @IQMquantum, for its support of the Eclipse Qrisp Community Day 2026, taking place on 29 October 2026 at Fraunhofer FOKUS, Berlin.
