The Key for Success

The Eclipse community has established the best existing model for multiple organizations to co-operate on the development of product-ready open source software Level playing field fosters collaboration

This really is the best of both worlds: The openness, transparency and meritocracy of open source

With the resources and commitment of corporations both large andsmall

The key values are: Governance, Quality, Process, Predictability

Eclipse has an great track record of helping companies get started with open source, and assisting their migration to the next level of open source maturity

Governance Matters!

Everyone is equal at Eclipse This is not controlled by any one company

This is not a monopoly

It is impossible to stress enough how important the level playing field has been to Eclipse’s success


Eclipse best practices

Quality matters APIs: If you build it, they will come

Platform Quality APIs are formally part of the Eclipse project culture

Architecture Modular & Extensible Architecture vs Monolithic Release

Governance Projects remain independent

Every participant engages under exactly the same rules

Process Open source development process

Frequent milestone releases


Thank you foryour continued

support!
