A Closer Look at the SKILLAB ProjectIn my talk at Come To Code 2025 about Advancing Your Career with Open Source, I mentioned the SKILLAB Project. Afterwards, I started thinking that this project is worth some more attention in form of a blog post. This is the result. I hope you will like it. SKILLAB is a project funded by the European Union. It is aiming to map the skills in supply/demand for job seekers in the EU. The project aims to identify gaps in skills between what the market demands a...| Blog Posts

The ballot for inclusion of Jakarta Query 1.0 in the Jakarta EE Platform and Jakarta EE Web Profile concluded successfully. As a part of Milestone 1 in...| Blog Posts

Building on this vision, SBOMs are generated during the build process and retained for all releases,...| Blog Posts
Hashtag Jakarta EE #302Welcome to issue number three hundred and two of Hashtag Jakarta EE! Last week, I was in Orlando for IBM TechXchange 2025. I went directly to this event from dev2next in Colorado Springs. After almost two weeks in the US, I had one night at home continuing to Rovinj in Croatia for JavaCro 2025. Conference season is here, that’s for sure. The target date, October 15, for Milestone 1 for Jakarta EE 12 is approaching. The only concern is about not being able to stage pr...| Blog Posts
Eclipse ThreadX: More Predictable; More OpenLast week, the Eclipse ThreadX project announced the release of ThreadX v6.4.3.202503. The version number may appear unusual at first glance; the new suffix simply designates this release as part of our Q3 2025 cycle. While this may seem like a minor adjustment, it represents a significant milestone for the project team. With this release, Eclipse ThreadX is transitioning to a quarterly release cadence, enabling us to deliver updates and improvement...| Blog Posts

Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of expanding my open source developer advocacy to include countries in the Global South — Brazil last year, and Nigeria this year. What struck me during these trips is that a country lagging behind wealthier, industrialised economies doesn’t mean being left out of technological progress. Quite the opposite. Cutting-edge technologies are very much present. Yet, a closer look reveals a distinctive pattern: gaps in the usual technology adopti...| Eclipse Foundation Staff Blogs
