For many in the Global South, open source isn’t just about technology. It’s a pathway to education, career growth, and global collaboration.
The webinar “Unveiling the State of OSS in the Global South” captures these personal perspectives from developers and community leaders across regions.

🥁 New project release!
Eclipse Fastbelt offers a toolkit for building domain-specific languages and other formal languages in Go.
The starting point of a Fastbelt project is a grammar definition, similar to Eclipse Xtext and Eclipse Langium. It describes the text syntax of the language together with the structure of the resulting abstract syntax tree (AST). From the grammar, Fastbelt generates Go code for the lexer, the parser, the AST types, and the resolution of cross-references between language elements, also across files. Language-specific behavior such as validation rules, scoping, interpreters, or code generators is added in plain Go code.

🌍 Africa is already contributing to the global open source ecosystem. The next step is creating more opportunities for its developers to lead.
Our State of Open Source in the Global South research found that 37% of surveyed developers across 18 countries contribute to open source, 28% are maintainers, and 22% have created their own projects.
These findings came to life at @ocxconf Africa in Lagos.
In a new article, @t_mashologu reflects on bringing OCX Africa to Lagos, working alongside @osca_hq and why connecting developer communities across regions matters.

Last week, I flew to Lagos for #OCXAfrica to speak about open source, AI, and the role African developers will play in its future.
With @osca_hq and the @EclipseFdn, we explored AI agents, Theia, Enclave and ThreadX.

Important announcement from @EclipseFdn Executive Director, @mmilinkov: he has begun the process of retiring from his role, with a transition planned for mid-2027.
Read Mike's full announcement 👉 blogs.eclipse.org/post/mike-…
I am publicly announcing today that I am starting the process of retiring as the Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation sometime in mid-2027. So this is not goodbye yet. It's more like I am just starting to turn towards the exit sign....
Why now? I just recently turned 66 and I had two grandchildren born this year. It's time to spend more time with my family. Plus almost all of my golfing and fishing buddies are already retired!
This process is going to take some time. We're aiming for the middle of next year, but that is a flexible target. Neither I nor the Eclipse Foundation are in a particular rush, and it is important that this transition happen as smoothly as possible.
I can't believe that I have done the same job for 22 years! (23 by the time I'm done.) I have been truly blessed to have a role that has been so challenging and enjoyable for so long. There are so many people who have helped me along the way that I am not even going to try to list them. But a sincere thank you to all.
More details are in my blog post and FAQ:

⚛️ Making sophisticated quantum systems practical to program requires moving quantum development up the software stack.
Eclipse Qrisp does exactly that. The open source framework enables developers to work with higher-level programming concepts while compiling their programs into optimised quantum circuits for different quantum computing environments.
Eclipse Qrisp has been recognised with the QuantumEffects Award 2026 in the Quantum Computing Software & Algorithms category: hubs.la/Q04zr6Ss0

🥁 New project release!
Eclipse Wisteria Dataviz is a data visualisation toolkit based on wxWidgets, with a focus on statistics and social sciences.
It ships in two forms:
- A stable C++ library that can be embedded into any wxWidgets application
- A stand-alone application (currently in alpha release) for building graphical reports interactively, with no coding required
Working with research data often means moving between spreadsheets, statistical results, and visual reports. The toolkit supports importing data from Excel, OpenDocument spreadsheets, and delimited files, transforming it through filtering and pivoting, and presenting it through customisable graphs with printing and export support.

📉 In embedded AI, a misunderstanding between teams can lead to costly architectural decisions, repeated validation work or unclear certification requirements.
Software engineers, hardware designers, AI researchers and safety specialists often approach the same systems using different terminology.
The new Structured Glossary of Embedded AI helps address this challenge with more than 300 interconnected definitions covering the embedded AI life cycle.
Developed through collaboration between Embedded France, the Eclipse Foundation and industry and research partners, the glossary is openly available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence.
That means organisations can reuse it in technical specifications, training materials and documentation, while also contributing improvements through the Eclipse Aidge project.
