Open Source Community Day 2025I had the pleasure of being invited to speak at Open Source Community Day 2025 in Madrid. This two-day event gathered attendees and speakers involved in EU research projects all over Europe. It is not my usual crowd, so it was interesting to see how this community works. I must say that they are an extremely engaged and friendly group of people. There are so much interesting, cool things going on in these projects.

From Excess to Balance: The Collapse of All-You-Can-EatA few years ago, I noticed that things were changing in the Eclipse Foundation's (EF) IT operations: we were adding servers, and lots of them. Trays of 3U mega-machines, packing 14 compute units each, with on-board switches, immense fans and drawing much electrical power, providing our community with CPU cycles galore. Storage devices could not keep up, so in came the clustered mega-storage solution, nine massive machines with drives and ...| Blog Posts

Jalapeño 2025The second edition of the Jalapeño unconference was held in Cancun, Mexico September 13-14. The intention by having it this weekend was to get the Mexican Java community to be able to bring their family for the long weekend since September 15 is a holiday in Mexico. This didn’t really turn out as planned, so it was a fairly small group that gathered this year. Nevertheless, the sessions were of high quality and touched on a variety of interesting topics. The sessions were loc...| Blog Posts

Community Over Code 2025Community Over Code is a very community oriented conference, and the 2025 edition was no exception. It is by and for the ASF committers and projects. The usual greeting phrase is not “What is your name?” , “Where are you from?” ,or “Where do you work?”, but rather “What (Apache) project are you involved in?”. The new logo for The Apache Software Foundation was launched in the opening keynote. The feather is now replaced by an oak leaf. You can read all ...| 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

It’s been three years since last time I spoke at JavaZone, so it was very good to be back this year.

It is just a 10 minute train ride north of Oslo, so that location is very convenient […]| Eclipse Foundation Staff Blogs
