+<p>According to the 2019 Stack Overflow developer survey, Visual Studio (VS) Code is used
+ by more than 50 percent of all developers worldwide. Its extension protocol has enabled the
+ broader developer community to create more than 16,000 extensions supporting all major programming
+ languages, frameworks, and tools used in modern software projects. While large parts of VS Code
+ are developed as open source, the actual product is not open source.</p>
+<h2>Vendor-Neutral Alternatives to VS Code Are Available</h2>
+<p>
+ <a href="http://theia-ide.org">Eclipse Theia</a>, the integrated developer environment (IDE) that
+ powers Gitpod, Google Cloud Shell, and others, offers a vendor-neutral alternative to VS Code and
+ is based on parts of the same open-source codebase as VS Code.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Theia works as an Electron-based desktop app, and it runs in browsers. It also features a highly
+ flexible architecture that allows extensive customizations.<a
+ href="https://www.arduino.cc/pro/arduino-pro-ide"
+ > Arduino’s new Pro IDE</a> and<a href="https://os.mbed.com/studio/"> Arm’s Mbed
+ Studio</a> are great examples of Theia’s flexibility. In addition to this built-in
+ flexibility, Theia can also run VS Code extensions.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Another community-driven project called<a href="https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium"> VSCodium</a>
+ offers a 100 percent open-source version of VS Code.
+</p>
+<h2>Only Visual Studio Products Can Access the Extension Marketplace</h2>
+<p>While all of the projects listed above support VS Code extensions, only Microsoft
+ products can use and connect to Microsoft’s Extension Marketplace. The terms of use for the
+ Marketplace prevent any non-Visual Studio products from accessing it.</p>
+<p>Gitpod employs a workaround where users upload .vsix files to install extensions. This
+ causes unnecessary overhead as users have to download the files from GitHub, then upload them to
+ Gitpod. Downloading extensions from the Microsoft Marketplace for any use other than in Microsoft
+ products is prohibited as well.</p>
+<p>Most extensions are developed by communities and published under permissive open source
+ licenses. The requirement to distribute and access these community-owned extensions in a system
+ with such restrictive terms of service does not seem right.</p>
+<p>
+ Our goal is to resolve this issue by hosting an open source extension registry at the Eclipse
+ Foundation, a vendor-neutral organization. We’re doing this through the<a
+ href="https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx"
+ > Eclipse Open VSX Registry</a> project.
+</p>
+<h2>You Can Host Your Own Registry With Eclipse Open VSX Registry</h2>
+<p>In addition to providing a publicly hosted, vendor-neutral extension registry, the
+ Eclipse Open VSX Registry project also makes the code available as open source. This way everyone
+ can install their own registry and use it, for example, on a corporate network.</p>
+<p>You’re not forced to publish proprietary extensions to a public marketplace, but
+ you still maintain full control over their availability. This is very similar to common practices
+ in other ecosystems such as npm, Cargo, and Maven.</p>
+<p>The illustration below shows the Open VSX Registry.</p>
+<p>
+ <img src="/community/eclipse_newsletter/2020/march/images/1_1.png"/>
+</p>
+<h2>Using the Eclipse Open VSX Registry</h2>
+<p>The Open VSX Registry contains the registry server, a web interface, and a command line
+ interface (CLI) to simplify publishing.</p>
+<p>
+ The publicly hosted instance of the registry is available<a href="about:blank"> here</a>. The
+ upcoming Theia version 1.0 release will use this installation as its default registry.
+</p>
+<p>Because Microsoft’s VS Code Extension Marketplace API is proprietary and
+ undocumented, the Open VSX Registry project has defined its own API. An adapter between the two
+ APIs is planned and will be required to connect VS Code and VSCodium to the Open VSX Registry.</p>
+<h2>Four Easy Steps to Publish Extensions</h2>
+<p>We would love to see extension developers publish to our registry in addition to
+ Microsoft’s. To encourage publishing, we developed a CLI that makes publishing very easy.
+ The four basic steps to publish extensions are:</p>
+<ol>
+ <li>Register on open-vsx.org through<a href="https://open-vsx.org/oauth2/authorization/github">
+ GitHub OAuth</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="https://open-vsx.org/user-settings/tokens">Create an access token</a> and copy it.</li>
+ <li>Run <code>npx ovsx create-namespace <publisher> --pat <token></code> with the publisher name
+ specified in the extension’s package.json.</li>
+ <li>Run <code>npx ovsx publish --pat <token></code> in the directory of the extension you want to
+ publish.</li>
+</ol>
+<h2>We’re Seeding the Registry</h2>
+<p>
+ Until extension developers start publishing to open-vsx.org themselves, we will publish open
+ source extensions through a script maintained in a<a
+ href="https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions"
+ > GitHub repository</a>. A continuous integration build regularly runs through the list of changes
+ and automatically deploys all listed projects.
+</p>
+<p>If you’re missing a particular extension:</p>
+<ol>
+ <li>Ask the original maintainer to publish to open-vsx.org, pointing them to this article for
+ context.</li>
+ <li>If the maintainer does not respond, create a pull request<a
+ href="https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions"
+ > here</a>.
+ </li>
+</ol>
+<h2>Open Source Should Remain Open Source</h2>
+<p>The VS Code team is doing a great job building a developer experience that is loved and
+ used by millions of developers. The large ecosystem of extensions is unique and provides
+ state-of-the-art tool support for all modern programming languages, frameworks, and tools.</p>
+<p>However, we believe that assets released as open source should remain readily available
+ to everyone. A vendor-neutral, community-driven marketplace for VS Code extensions at the Eclipse
+ Foundation is an important first step to make this happen.</p>

+<p dir="ltr">
+ <a href="/community/eclipse_newsletter/2018/february/dirigible.php">Eclipse
+ Dirigible</a> is the only open source, low-code and no-code development platform in the world.
+ It’s also the only cloud development platform for low-code, no-code development. And it
+ includes a number of high-productivity tools and user-friendly design features that aren’t
+ available in on-premises integrated development environments (IDEs) or other cloud-based IDEs.
+</p>
+<p dir="ltr">We’ve put such a strong focus on the development experience because we recognize
+ this is what’s needed to encourage developers to make the move from the on-premises IDEs
+ they’re so familiar with to cloud development tools.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">If we simply provided a general-purpose IDE in a browser, there would be little
+ incentive for developers to switch to a cloud-based development environment. Local IDEs would
+ always deliver higher performance and better integration with operating systems than the
+ browser-based version.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">As a result, we’ve spent a lot of time and effort ensuring Eclipse Dirigible
+ provides added value for developers with features and functionality that are a natural fit and
+ beneficial for cloud development.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">Before I describe the latest and greatest advances in Dirigible, here’s a look at
+ the foundational elements that make it the ideal platform for cloud-based development.</p>
+<h2 dir="ltr">Dirigible Is an All-In-One Web IDE and Runtime</h2>
+<p>I’ll start by clearing up one of the biggest misconceptions about Eclipse Dirigible.
+ It’s not just another web IDE. Dirigible seamlessly combines a web IDE with an integrated
+ runtime, as shown in the platform illustration below.</p>
+<p>
+<p dir="ltr">
+ <img src="images/2_1.png"/>
+</p>
+</p>
+<p dir="ltr">The self-contained runtime environment runs in the browser so there are no additional
+ downloads or installations. Integrated combinations of pre-selected engines ensure the two aspects
+ of Dirigible work together. You can execute your application code in the runtime, or you can use
+ the runtime on its own for production purposes.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">This integrated approach to application development and production is a significant
+ advantage if you’re used to working with standalone IDEs, whether they’re local or
+ cloud-based. It means you’re no longer forced to switch tools or simulate a local
+ environment when it’s time to produce the production-ready artifacts to be deployed. Using a
+ single system also avoids the unexpected behaviors and issues that can occur when you develop
+ locally and deploy in the cloud.</p>
+<h2 dir="ltr">Live System Development Delivers Immediate Results</h2>
+<p dir="ltr">Like all cloud-based development environments, Eclipse Dirigible offers fast and easy
+ startup. You don’t need to spend half an hour installing an entire IDE. You can simply go to
+ the website and everything you need is already there — plugins, integrations, even data
+ integrations.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">Dirigible takes the convenience of web development one step further. With the unique
+ Dirigible system development model, you can develop on a live system. If you have a system already
+ running in the cloud, you can access it and start developing in it. You simply write code, click
+ save, and you can immediately see the results. This dramatically shortens development time.</p>
+<h2 dir="ltr">Features Focus on Business Application Development</h2>
+<p dir="ltr">We’ve also implemented a number of features that are ideal for developing
+ business applications.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">Because business applications are used in real-world business processes, they must be
+ very dynamic. Business processes change constantly, and applications need to keep pace.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">To ensure developers can quickly adapt applications to align with changing business
+ processes, Dirigible enables easy application extensibility and fast database access. The
+ low-code, no-code approach we’ve taken also accelerates business application development.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">In addition, Dirigible supports a full-stack development process so you can create
+ everything you need within the Dirigible development environment.</p>
+<h2 dir="ltr">A Stable API Simplifies Development</h2>
+<p dir="ltr">A stable API is essential when you’re frequently evolving business applications.
+ While there are numerous well-known stable APIs in very established technologies, such as Java,
+ that’s not the case in the cloud right now.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">To simplify development, Dirigible provides what we call enterprise JavaScript, which
+ is a subset of stable Java APIs we’ve created to lower the barrier of entry to cloud
+ development. Here’s a brief example of a request/response API.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">
+ <img src="images/2_2.png"/>
+</p>
+<h2 dir="ltr">New Models Jumpstart Development</h2>
+<p dir="ltr">Recently, we added two new models and approaches to Eclipse Dirigible to make it even
+ faster and easier for developers to generate complete business applications:</p>
+<ul dir="ltr">
+ <li>A domain model lets you start with business objects then generate the application.</li>
+ <li>A process model lets you start with business processes then apply them to business
+ objects. </li>
+</ul>
+<p dir="ltr">In just five or six minutes, you can model two or three entities for an application,
+ generate them, and immediately start entering data to see how they function and behave. The two
+ models can also be used together.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">Afterwards, you can write custom extensions that enhance the overall applications. You
+ can also embed custom views and third-party frameworks, such as Google Maps, for really
+ interesting applications.</p>
+<h2 dir="ltr">Customization Capabilities Increase Flexibility</h2>
+<p dir="ltr">Models are a great way to very quickly and easily develop 80 percent of a business
+ application. But, the other 20 percent of the application is also very important. Many developers
+ won’t use a development environment unless it provides the ability to tailor that final 20
+ percent of the application.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">While many low-code, no-code development platforms limit the way you can customize the
+ application, we’ve taken the opposite approach. With Eclipse Dirigible, you have complete
+ flexibility to add new templates and generators, and to write and include your own custom code.</p>
+<h2 dir="ltr">Integration With Eclipse Che Brings Devops to a Kubernetes Environment</h2>
+<p dir="ltr">
+ Finally, in an excellent example of the benefits of collaborating in and across Eclipse
+ communities, we’ve integrated Dirigible into<a href="/che/"> Eclipse
+ Che</a>.
+</p>
+<p dir="ltr">
+ The integration with Che enables Dirigible to provide devops processes for application management
+ in a containerized Kubernetes environment. Dirigible is embedded in Che workspaces, similar to the
+ way<a href="https://theia-ide.org/"> Eclipse Theia</a> is embedded.
+</p>
+<p dir="ltr">Interestingly, we completed the integration over just two or three days while we were
+ all together during EclipseCon Europe in Ludwigsburg last October! It was an incredible
+ collaborative experience and a great opportunity to work together face-to-face with the broader
+ Eclipse cloud development community.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">Here’s a look at Eclipse Dirigible’s predefined application templates in
+ the integrated user interface.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">
+ <img src="images/2_3.png"/>
+</p>
+<h2 dir="ltr">We’re Looking for Partners, Customers, and Developers</h2>
+<p dir="ltr">Because Eclipse Dirigible is a mature project, we’re actively seeking university
+ and business partners as well as customers so we can collaborate with them and demonstrate
+ what’s possible with Eclipse Dirigible. Of course, we also welcome all developers who are
+ interested in joining the project.</p>
+<p dir="ltr">
+ We encourage everyone with an interest in cloud development to take a closer look at Eclipse
+ Dirigible. We have a<a href="https://www.dirigible.io/"> comprehensive website</a> with
+ documentation, links to helpful videos, and other information.

+<h1 class="article-title"><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></h1>
+<p>
+ When the <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/che/">Eclipse Che</a> project started four years ago
+ this month, the most common question I heard was “This is really cool technology, but what
+ do you use it for?”
+</p>
+<p>At the time, there wasn’t a lot of activity happening around cloud-based ideas.
+ There were even fewer activities around container-focused, cloud-based ideas. People were very
+ interested in what was happening in Eclipse Che, but they weren’t quite sure what to make of
+ it.</p>
+<p>Fast-forward to March 2020 and the landscape has changed dramatically. People have a
+ much better understanding of cloud-based development and Docker containers. And they appreciate
+ how much faster and easier Eclipse Che makes it to develop enterprise applications that leverage
+ Kubernetes.</p>
+<p>With the speed and simplicity that Che enables, people have flocked to it. Today, a
+ number of corporations and communities across the globe rely heavily on Eclipse Che to expand,
+ enhance, and tailor their developer experiences. Leading technology providers, including IBM, CA
+ Technologies, SAP, Red Hat, Samsung, and Broadcom use Che. It’s also used broadly across
+ industries, including banking, automotive, and healthcare.</p>
+<p>While most people have a good understanding of Eclipse Che and its benefits, there are
+ still a few facts about this very versatile technology that surprise people.</p>
+<h2>1. You Can Use Che for Just About Anything</h2>
+<p>Instead of asking what you would use Che for, the question now is more along the lines
+ of “what wouldn’t you use it for?” In addition to the expected uses cases around
+ helping developers get started and contribute to applications that will be deployed on a
+ Kubernetes platform, we’re also seeing some really interesting and unexpected applications.</p>
+<p>Here are a couple of examples:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>Mainframes. </strong>At least two major corporations are using the cutting-edge
+ technology in Eclipse Che to make it easier for developers to contribute to their mainframes.
+ While mainframes are very established technology, they’re also arguably one of the most
+ complex developer environments to set up. Newer developers typically don’t have the
+ experience or expertise needed. Eclipse Che means they don’t need it.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Once you get past the novel idea of combining mainframes with new, technology-light
+ containers and Kubernetes, it makes perfect sense. But, it’s certainly not a use case we
+ envisioned when we started Che.</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>IoT.</strong> Eclipse Che is also making it easier for developers to contribute to IoT
+ device development — from laptops, from the cloud, from anywhere really. We’ve seen
+ Che used for IoT application development in the automotive industry and on devices such as the
+ Raspberry Pi.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>These are just two of the many innovative ways Che is being used. Those of us who work
+ on the project feel we’re just starting to scratch the surface of how the technology can be
+ used.</p>
+<h2>2. The Real Power of Che Is the Backend Functionality</h2>
+<p>Many people think of Eclipse Che as a web-based IDE. But, the IDE represents only about
+ 20 percent of Che’s capabilities. The most interesting and powerful part of Che is the 80
+ percent that happens behind the scenes.</p>
+<p>A growing number of people in the Eclipse Che community are focusing on what the Che
+ backend can do for them. In fact, some don’t use the Che IDE at all. They swap it out for
+ something that’s more appropriate for their needs.</p>
+<p>For example, data scientists don’t need an IDE that looks like Visual Studio Code
+ because they’re not coders. They want to use their Jupyter Notebook or something like it.
+ Other folks don’t want to use a web-based editor. They prefer to take advantage of the Che
+ server and the workspaces it provisions directly from their desktop IDE. That’s fully
+ supported too.</p>
+<p>The point here is the conversation shouldn’t be about the Che IDE. It should be
+ about comparing Eclipse Che to other tools that provision workspaces in the background so
+ developers don’t have to. Today, there aren’t many tools that provide this capability
+ in a Kubernetes environment. You can do it with virtual machines, but VMs are heavy, slow, and not
+ easily portable. And they certainly don’t support hyperscale like containers and Kubernetes
+ do.</p>
+<h2>3. You Can Use Che Offline</h2>
+<p>You can use Eclipse Che in an environment that’s completely disconnected, or
+ air-gapped, from the internet. There are two reasons this is important:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Many organizations in government, defense, financial, and academic sectors have walled-off
+ their most important applications from the internet for security reasons. However, they still
+ want their developers to be able to quickly contribute code to those critical applications.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>When these organizations find out they can use Che offline, it’s typically a big
+ “wow” moment for them. Their developers are very intelligent people, but they work in
+ highly constrained worlds with limited access to sophisticated, modern tools like Che.</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>When developers are traveling, they often have periods of time where they’re not
+ connected to the internet. With Che, they can remain productive during these times.</li>
+</ul>
+<h2>4. Che Has Many Innovative Contributors</h2>
+<p>Many people still think of Eclipse Che as a Red Hat project, but it’s not. It
+ started as a project from a company called Codenvy that was acquired by Red Hat, but the community
+ has broadened considerably since then. It now includes contributors from a wide range of locations
+ and corporations.</p>
+<p>Che is your typical Eclipse community that’s always expanding and is very
+ approachable. We have weekly community calls, and they now often include demos from our community
+ members. Some of these demos are very, very impressive, which shows we’ve reached an
+ exciting and interesting stage in the project’s growth.</p>
+<h2>5. Che Has Come a Long Way Since It Was First Released</h2>
+<p>When Eclipse Che was first released, many people probably liked the functionality it
+ provided, but were put off by the fact that it didn’t look like the IDE they were already
+ using. It likely seemed easier to stick with what they knew rather than go through a learning
+ curve they didn’t have time for.</p>
+<p>Today, the Che IDE looks and behaves like Visual Studio Code so it’s a painless
+ move for millions of developers around the world. Developers also have the flexibility to stick
+ with their preferred cloud or on-premises IDE. That learning curve they were so worried about has
+ virtually disappeared.</p>
+<p>In addition, in Che 7, we made key changes that mean production containers look the
+ same in production as they do in development. Tooling and other required elements are wrapped
+ around the production container so it doesn’t change when you move from development to
+ production. This is very important to ensure the validity of testing.</p>
+<h2>Take Another Look at Che</h2>
+<p>If you haven’t looked at Che in a while, it’s definitely time to take
+ another look and re-evaluate how it can help you take advantage of new opportunities and tackle
+ major challenges. There are a lot of people in the Che community doing some very innovative work
+ with the technology and we’re constantly making improvements.</p>

+ overview of Che 7, our newest and biggest release ever, along with detailed information about
+ using Che and the links you need to get started.

+<p>
+ After three years of hard work and several high-profile production deployments,<a
+ href="https://theia-ide.org/"
+ > Eclipse Theia</a> 1.0 will be released on March 31. The technology is mature, stable, and ready
+ for anyone and everyone to use as a foundation for their custom cloud or desktop integrated
+ development environment (IDE).
+</p>
+<p>
+ The framework that Theia provides is the natural evolution of open source desktop IDE platforms,
+ such as the<a href="https://www.eclipse.org/eclipseide/"> Eclipse IDE</a>. With Theia,
+ corporations and IDE vendors have a single, modern technology stack that can be used to build
+ development environments for desktops and browsers. And they don’t need to make that
+ decision upfront.
+</p>
+<h2>Flexibility for Today and Tomorrow</h2>
+<p>
+ Theia gives the global community a next-generation IDE platform that’s ideal for meeting
+ today’s needs and for developing future solutions. Because it’s open source,
+ vendor-neutral, and follows the<a href="https://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/"> Eclipse
+ Foundation governance model</a>, you never have to worry about being tied to a particular
+ vendor’s business objectives or roadmap.
+</p>
+<p>The potential ways of leveraging Theia are as varied as the organizations that adopt
+ it. Adopters can build commercial tools for resale as well as internal tools that meet specific
+ engineering requirements.</p>
+<p>We have a number of adopters who start by using Theia to build a desktop IDE, but
+ don’t know when, or even whether, they’ll need a cloud IDE. But, they know they can
+ make that move at any time without having to rewrite the source code. Another major corporation
+ that’s adopted Theia has developed a desktop IDE and a cloud version, but are using the
+ cloud IDE as a playground for experimenting. The long-term goal is to fully replace the Theia
+ desktop IDE with the cloud version.</p>
+<p>The images below illustrate Theia’s architectural flexibility.</p>
+<p>
+ <img src="images/4_1.png"/>
+</p>
+<p>
+<p>
+ <img src="images/4_2.png"/>
+</p>
+</p>
+<p>
+ <img src="images/4_3.png"/>
+</p>
+<h2>Proven in Numerous Real-World Scenarios</h2>
+<p>Because the architecture is stable and reliable, companies using Theia can be confident
+ their IDEs won’t break due to changes in the underlying code.</p>
+<p>Many big-name companies already rely on Theia as the foundational building block for
+ their IDEs. For example, it’s used in the GitHub IDE, which has 130,000 registered users.
+ It’s also used in Google Cloud Shell, which has many more users. SAP, Arm, and Arduino have
+ also built highly customized IDEs on top of the Theia platform.</p>
+<p>
+ Theia is also integrated into<a href="https://www.eclipse.org/che/"> Eclipse Che</a>.
+</p>
+<h2>Support for Virtual Studio Code Extensions</h2>
+<p>Eclipse Theia is the first cloud IDE to support VS Code extensions and bring the same
+ capabilities and features that local desktop IDEs offer into the cloud.</p>
+<p>This is a significant step forward from first-generation cloud IDEs that struggled to
+ provide state-of-the-art tools support. With these early, sandbox-like IDEs, each company had to
+ develop its own extensions for the IDE — if extensions were supported at all. Developing
+ these extensions requires a huge amount of time, programming effort, and money. And it was
+ replicated across companies.</p>
+<p>As an open source community, we can spread the extension development effort across many
+ contributors and collectively benefit from the results.</p>
+<p>
+ Theia 1.0 will use the<a href="https://projects.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-open-vsx-registry">
+ Eclipse Open VSX Registry</a> as its default registry. The extensions available in this free
+ marketplace for VS Code extensions can be used in VS Code as well as in Theia. For additional
+ insight into the rationale behind the registry and its benefits, <a href="1.php">read the
+ accompanying article</a> in this month’s newsletter.
+</p>
+<h2>A Full-Featured Development Environment</h2>
+<p>With Theia’s full-featured development environment, you can do things that
+ aren’t possible in other IDEs. For example, you can:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Click a button and start coding in the way you can in GitHub</li>
+ <li>Create and use as many workspaces as you want in parallel</li>
+ <li>Start with fresh environments, use them, then discard them at any time</li>
+</ul>
+<p>These capabilities are possible because Theia provides continuous integration and
+ brings serverless, ephemeral concepts to development environments. The screen capture below shows
+ the Theia development environment.</p>
+<p>
+ <img src="images/4_4.png"/>
+</p>
+<h2>Get Started With Theia</h2>
+<p>We invite all users, adopters, and contributors to try Theia 1.0 and to build
+ extensions. When you work on the Theia project, you can actually use Theia to develop Theia, which
+ is really cool and super-convenient.</p>
+<p>
+ To get started,<a href="https://theia-ide.org/"> visit the Theia website</a>. You’ll find
+ tutorials backed up with code, examples, documentation, and easy ways to start leveraging Theia in
+ a variety of programming languages.

+<h2>COVID-19 Impact on Upcoming Events</h2>
+<p>As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) makes headlines around the world, conferences and
+ community events throughout our industry continue to be cancelled or postponed.</p>
+<p>With the health and safety of our employees and community members as a top priority,
+ the Eclipse Foundation has decided to restrict all non-essential travel for our staff through
+ mid-May. We will not be attending any events during this period, and will assess our participation
+ beyond that point following recommendations from the Canadian federal government, the World Health
+ Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).</p>
+<p>
+ We will continue to provide updates about our participation in events through our social media
+ channels:<a href="https://twitter.com/EclipseFdn?mc_cid=5b47a23005&mc_eid=%5bUNIQID%5d">

+<h2>IoT Commercial Adoption Survey Results Now Available</h2>
+<p>
+ The results of our 2019 IoT Commercial Adoption Survey are now available<a
+ href="http://eclipse-5413615.hs-sites.com/iot-adoption-survey-results-2019"
+ > here</a>.
+</p>
+<p>The goal of this survey was to gather insights that would help IoT ecosystem
+ stakeholders gain a better understanding of the IoT industry landscape and the requirements,
+ priorities, and challenges faced by organizations that are deploying and using commercial IoT
+ solutions.</p>
+<p>Key findings from the survey include:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>IoT may well live up to the hype, if somewhat slower than expected. Just under 40 percent of
+ survey respondents are deploying IoT solutions today. Another 22 percent plan to start deploying
+ IoT within the next two years.</li>
+ <li>IoT investment is on the rise, with 40 percent of organizations planning to increase their IoT
+ spending in the next fiscal year.</li>
+ <li>Open source pervades IoT as a key enabler with 60 percent of companies factoring open source
+ into their IoT deployment plans.</li>
+ <li>Hybrid clouds lead the way for IoT deployments. Overall, AWS, Azure, and GCP are the leading
+ cloud platforms for IoT implementations.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+ To learn more about how each player in the IoT ecosystem can use the survey results to drive IoT
+ adoption,<a href="https://blogs.eclipse.org/post/mike-milinkovich/real-world-iot-adoption"> read

+ <h3>Editor's Note</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ When we announced the Eclipse Cloud Development Tools Working Group last
+ fall, our Executive Director, Mike Milinkovich,<a
+ href="https://blogs.eclipse.org/post/mike-milinkovich/re-defining-cloud-development-tools"
+ > noted in a blog post</a> that he hadn’t seen an initiative with
+ this level of potential impact since the Eclipse Foundation was created in
+ 2004.
+ </p>
+ <p>Less than six months later, several Eclipse projects have exciting updates to share.
+ The progress and innovations you’ll read about in this month’s
+ newsletter truly validate the value of an open source, vendor-neutral, and
+ collaborative approach to cloud development tools.</p>
+ <h2>Spotlight Articles</h2>
+ <p>Our spotlight articles focus on four Eclipse projects that
+ enable faster, easier, more flexible cloud-based development:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2020/march/1.php">Eclipse Theia</a>. Sven Efftinge reviews the key features in
+ the March 31 Theia 1.0 release and the big-name companies that are
+ already benefiting from Theia’s single-source approach to desktop
+ and cloud IDE development.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2020/march/2.php">Eclipse Che</a>. Brad Micklea shares five Che features that
+ will make you want to take another look at this Kubernetes-native
+ developer platform.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2020/march/3.php">Eclipse Dirigible</a>. Nedelcho Delchev explains why
+ developers will want to switch to an open source, low-code and no-code
+ cloud-based development platform.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2020/march/4.php">Eclipse Open VSX</a>. Miro Sponemann and Sven Efftinge
+ explore the need for, and benefits of, a free marketplace for Virtual
+ Studio Code extensions.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2>Short Takes</h2>
+ <p>
+ We also want to point you to some recent blogs by Jonas Helming and the
+ team at<a href="https://eclipsesource.com/"> EclipseSource</a>.
