📃 The 2026 State of Open Source Report shows that 98% of organisations are maintaining or expanding their use of open source. Open source is core infrastructure. But the report also makes something else clear. The industry has solved adoption. It has not solved what comes next. Organisations that succeed will be those that treat open source as a long-term strategic asset. That means investing in governance, managing lifecycle risk, and participating in ecosystems rather than simply consuming projects.

Gaël and Thabang from the #EclipseFdn are presenting “Be careful what you wish for: Your project might become infrastructure” at @ocfortooling at @ocxconference. Eclipse Open VSX started as a vendor-neutral extension registry for the #EclipseTheia ecosystem and the broader open source tooling community. #OCX26 #OpenVSX #AI #security

The #EclipseFdn is introducing an enterprise-grade, open source alternative to proprietary extension marketplaces. With the launch of Open VSX Managed Registry, organisations can now rely on SLA-backed infrastructure while maintaining vendor-neutral governance and open access for developers. As Open VSX surpasses 300M monthly downloads, this shift reflects how extension registries are becoming critical infrastructure for AI-native IDEs and cloud platforms.

📅 Last day at @ocxconference with Juliane Müller’s keynote: “AI, elections and democracy: Rebuilding trust in the age of algorithms.” She shared insights on what democracy needs from AI, and how we can rebuild trust. “Democracy runs on trust.” So how does AI shape democracy today? AI-generated content can flood our information systems and spread misinformation. At the same time, response systems are increasingly overwhelmed, as content generation becomes cheaper and easier. Interoperability helps institutions remain independent and resilient. The decisions made in citizens’ names must be visible, understandable, and open to question. #OCX26 #AI #trust #democracy

Why introduce the Open VSX Managed Registry? In this VMblog Q&A, Thabang Mashologu explains how the new managed service supports production-scale usage for enterprises while keeping the Open VSX Registry free, open, and accessible for developers and open source projects. As Open VSX surpasses 300M monthly downloads, this model helps ensure long-term sustainability, reliability, and vendor-neutral governance.

⛵ How did #EclipseFdn technology make its way into sailing? “I became a committer on the EMF/OCL project in 2010. The following year, a colleague asked me to work on a sailing showcase. At the time, SAP had started sponsoring the sport.” With just six weeks of development time before the June event, the team built a solution for online regatta visualization, including live tracking, replay, analysis, and commentary. 🎉 Axel also announced that, as of last week, it is now an #EclipseFdn project! Key benefits include developer access for iOS and Android app stores, a clear and transparent committer election process and governance, and increased visibility for the project. And of course… the chance to deliver a keynote at @ocxconference 😉 Don’t miss tonight’s BoF session “Get hands-on with Eclipse Azimuth Sailing Analytics” at 7:30 PM 👉 hubs.la/Q04d0ZT00 #OCX26 #sailing #analytics #opensource
