| Executive Director’s Summary: <br /> |
| A Transformative Year |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p>Welcome to the 2021 Eclipse Foundation Community Report! </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| I’ve had the pleasure of serving the Eclipse community as |
| Executive Director since its inception in 2004. Over that time, the |
| changes to the open source community at large, the Eclipse community |
| in particular, and the Foundation itself have been extraordinary. I am |
| thrilled to have had the opportunity to see the growth and evolution |
| of the Eclipse community over my 17 years with the Eclipse Foundation. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>2020-21 has been a transformative year in almost every aspect.</p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Certainly, the global pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the |
| Foundation as well as all of our 300+ member organizations and our |
| thousands of committers and contributors. First and foremost, I extend |
| my best wishes to all, and hope that all in our community, and their |
| families, have been, and continue to be safe. Also, the pandemic has |
| brought to a very quick halt the opportunity for us to meet one |
| another at various conferences, meetings, and events. After this long |
| hiatus from travel, I look forward to seeing our community members |
| again in the not-too-distant future. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><strong>Important Project Milestones Achieved</strong></p> |
| |
| <p> |
| I am proud of the major accomplishments achieved by our community over |
| the 2020-21 period. Many of our most visible projects have seen |
| important milestones. Notably, the Simultaneous Release of the Eclipse |
| IDE and packages continues to evolve; since switching to a cadence of |
| quarterly releases in 2018, 12 quarterly releases of the Simultaneous |
| Release have been completed on schedule, and with enhanced features |
| benefitting the IDE’s millions of users. Jakarta EE 9 was released in |
| December 2020, representing a significant milestone for the enterprise |
| Java ecosystem. Eclipse SUMO has emerged as the most active Eclipse |
| Foundation open source project. There were also major releases in our |
| IoT and edge communities, our cloud tools community, and many other |
| technical areas. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| In total, 515 project releases were completed over the past 12 months. |
| As of March 2021, the Foundation has stewardship of over 260 million |
| lines of code in the Eclipse repositories. The Eclipse Foundation |
| codebase is conservatively valued at over $13 billion using the |
| industry standard COCOMO model. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| We have also seen the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP) |
| being used more widely. In addition to Jakarta EE, it is now adopted |
| by the MicroProfile, Sparkplug, and AsciiDoc specification projects. |
| Further validation of the EFSP came from the migration of OSGi |
| specifications from being overseen by the OSGi Alliance to now being |
| housed at Eclipse Foundation and using the EFSP. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><strong>Working Groups Continue to Thrive</strong></p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Working groups continue to play a growing role in how members engage |
| at the Eclipse Foundation. In total, we have 17 working groups as of |
| March 31, 2021. As a proof point of the importance of these working |
| groups in bringing members together to work collaboratively in support |
| of Eclipse Foundation projects, more than 140 Member organizations now |
| participate in one or more working groups. These working groups are |
| enabling new initiatives to flourish. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| To call out just two new working groups formed in early 2021, the |
| Adoptium Working Group has been formed as the successor to |
| AdoptOpenJDK, and will play a valuable role in the Java ecosystem |
| going forward. The Eclipse IDE Working Group has been formed to |
| augment the incredible work done by our Committers on the Eclipse IDE |
| and the Simultaneous Release, and to ensure the long-term vibrancy of |
| the IDE. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><strong>New Initiatives at the Foundation</strong></p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Lastly with respect to our technical initiatives, many of the |
| activities emanating from Eclipse Foundation projects and working |
| groups are leading to significant, innovative services being hosted at |
| the Foundation as their vendor neutral home. For example, the |
| <a href="https://open-vsx.org/">OpenVSX Registry</a> is hosted by the |
| Eclipse Cloud Development Tools Working Group, and provides a |
| marketplace for VS Code extensions that is operated in a vendor |
| neutral, transparent manner. The |
| <a href="https://jakarta.ee/compatibility/" |
| >Jakarta EE Compatible Products</a |
| > |
| site provides a comprehensive landing area for industry and is seeing |
| widespread use. As open source continues to grow in significance in |
| the marketplace, the opportunity for the Foundation to provide |
| innovative services through our working groups will continue to |
| increase in value. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <strong>Eclipse Foundation as a European-based Association</strong> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| For the Foundation and our members, a big part of our year has been in |
| redomiciling the Foundation as a European-based, international |
| nonprofit association incorporated in Belgium. This shift reflects and |
| capitalizes on our unique position as the preeminent European-based |
| open source community with global reach. This pivot of our corporate |
| structure has been a major lift in terms of both effort and positive |
| impact — and one that we see as being beneficial to all our projects |
| and members over the coming years. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| In particular, I want to call out the members of the Eclipse |
| Foundation Board for the many dedicated hours they put into this |
| initiative, as well as the organizations who led this initiative, be |
| it with financial, legal, or community outreach support. This |
| redomiciling has been a unique project, one of which I’m proud and |
| from which I have certainly enjoyed the learning journey. More details |
| about the redomiciling are available |
| <a href="/europe">here</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| In conjunction with redomiciling, the Board and Membership at Large |
| approved updates to the Eclipse Bylaws in the fall of 2020. These |
| changes better align the Foundation with European-based not-for-profit |
| practices, as well as streamline our membership structure. Of note, we |
| now have four classes of membership (vs. the six we had previously), |
| where the predominance of our corporate members are now in the |
| Contributing Member class. What has been retained is the commitment to |
| all Committers being welcome and encouraged to be Members of the |
| Foundation. This direct, active involvement of our Committers in our |
| governance is fairly unique to Eclipse Foundation, and better ensures |
| that matters that are important to committers remain front and center |
| in governance decisions. The Board further approved updates to other |
| policies, notably the Eclipse Foundation Intellectual Property and |
| Antitrust policies. All our governance documents are available on our |
| <a href="/org/documents">governance page</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><strong>A New Approach to This Report</strong></p> |
| <p> |
| We have decided to condense the format of this year’s Annual Community |
| Report. In year’s past, this report served as an encyclopedic update |
| on all things happening at the Eclipse Foundation. While a valuable |
| reference document, it seemed like the wrong forum to try and capture |
| such depth in detail and likely not as valuable to most readers. This |
| year, we are using this publication as a means to provide our |
| community members with a more succinct and (hopefully!) useful summary |
| that you can, in turn, use to communicate to your stakeholders about |
| what’s happened at the Foundation. Of course, you can continue to rely |
| on our many other marketing and communications channels to understand |
| what lies ahead. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Enjoy the report — I hope you find it useful! As always, we welcome |
| your comments and feedback. Let us know your thoughts at |
| <a href="mailto:emo@eclipse.org">emo@eclipse.org</a> |
| or on Twitter |
| <a href="https://twitter.com/EclipseFdn">@EclipseFdn</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2 id="a_2">Who We Are</h2> |
| <p>The Eclipse Foundation’s mission is summarized as follows:</p> |
| <p style="margin-left: 40px"> |
| <em |
| >The Eclipse Foundation’s purpose is to advance our open source |
| software projects and to cultivate their communities and business |
| ecosystems.</em |
| > |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The dedication to this purpose makes the Eclipse community a unique |
| open source community. We believe the Foundation’s ongoing success |
| comes from this unique combination of a consistent interest in |
| building open source code and community, and a sustained commitment to |
| creating a commercially successful ecosystem around that code to the |
| benefit of our community. |
| </p> |
| <p>Our vision for the Eclipse community is:</p> |
| <p style="margin-left: 40px"> |
| <em |
| >To be the leading community for individuals and organizations to |
| collaborate on commercially friendly open source.</em |
| > |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2 id="a_3">2021 Strategy</h2> |
| <p> |
| As established by the Board of Directors, the strategic goals of the |
| Eclipse Foundation for 2021 represent a continued drive towards |
| meeting our vision for the Eclipse community. |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Communicate the Eclipse Foundation’s differentiated value |
| proposition.</strong |
| > |
| The Foundation continues to flourish, and to occupy a unique |
| position in the open source world. The Eclipse IDE and the |
| Simultaneous Release continue to be a flagship set of projects, and |
| the technologies delivered by those projects continue to be used by |
| literally millions of developers worldwide. Indeed, new innovations |
| are continuously added by our developer community, and many of our |
| members recently came together to form the Eclipse IDE Working Group |
| in support of the IDE. |
| <br /> |
| <br /> |
| While the Eclipse IDE is well known globally, the Eclipse community |
| is much larger, broader, and richer than the IDE. We are stewards of |
| approximately 400 open source projects, and the significance of many |
| of these projects and their importance in the overall open source |
| marketplace continues to grow. Today, the value proposition of |
| bringing new projects to the Eclipse Foundation, and the ongoing |
| evolution of those projects under the Foundation’s stewardship, is |
| more compelling than ever. We continue to offer strong intellectual |
| property management services for all projects. We also offer |
| infrastructure to our projects that better ensure long-term |
| viability and vendor-neutrality, both of which are of strategic |
| importance to our members. We also provide a much richer set of |
| services around marketing and communications, telling the stories of |
| our projects and our members in a way that is of great value to |
| both. Overall, the Foundation’s clear differentiator is its focus on |
| commercial-friendly open source, and the fact that our antitrust, IP |
| policies, and governance structure all drive benefit to our |
| projects, members, and community. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Establish the Eclipse Foundation as the preeminent European OSS |
| organization.</strong |
| > |
| The redomiciling of the Eclipse Foundation as a European-based, |
| international not-for-profit association has immediately positioned |
| the organization as the largest European-based open source |
| foundation when measured by projects, members, or committers. Now |
| that the governance transition is complete, we are actively working |
| as part of many major European open source initiatives that will |
| have global reach in terms of their impact. We have been pleased to |
| see the positive engagement thus far by so many of our Members, |
| including both European-based Members and others from around the |
| globe. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Promote working groups as an effective model for open governance, |
| collaboration, marketing, and industry adoption.</strong |
| > |
| The Eclipse Foundation’s Working Group model, based on the Eclipse |
| Foundation Working Group Process, has evolved into an effective, |
| lightweight governance structure that enables member organizations |
| to come together to drive shared interests in Eclipse projects and |
| promotion of Eclipse technologies and open specifications. A primary |
| focus of the Foundation staff continues to be on enabling both new |
| and existing members to effectively engage and collaborate using |
| this lightweight governance structure to carry out meaningful |
| activities that drive adoption of our projects, promote |
| participation in those projects, and generally drive the business |
| value related to those open source projects. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Attract and foster new projects, specifications, and working |
| groups focused on emerging technologies.</strong |
| > |
| As open source continues to become ever more strategic to our member |
| organizations, the Eclipse Foundation continues to cultivate and |
| onboard strategic and emerging industrial and commercial |
| technologies. Building on our open specifications process, we |
| continue to put a significant emphasis on attracting new open |
| specification initiatives, and now have five working groups engaged |
| in publishing open specifications under the Eclipse Foundation |
| Specification Process. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Cultivate the growth of our existing projects, communities, |
| working groups, and ecosystems.</strong |
| > |
| Continuing the overall growth and vibrancy of the Eclipse community |
| is a constant focus and a key differentiator for the Foundation in |
| the marketplace. The growth of the community comes from broader |
| adoption of the technologies and enabling new ways for individuals |
| and organizations to participate. The Foundation now conducts or |
| facilitates dozens of virtual community events of all sizes. This |
| model has allowed for each individual Eclipse project community, be |
| it large or small, localized or regionally diverse, to extend its |
| reach. We have also introduced a variety of marketing and |
| communications channels, each of which is aimed at enabling more |
| people to learn about Eclipse technologies, to more effectively |
| adopt those technologies, and to participate in the community. Our |
| working groups in support of cloud native Java, IoT, edge computing, |
| automotive, etc. further advance this cultivation of growth. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong> |
| Continuously increase value for all its membership |
| classes.</strong |
| > |
| As part of the Foundation’s constant drive to enhance member value, |
| we recently introduced new initiatives to focus more on the economic |
| benefit of participation. We are launching a new program to |
| highlight the benefits of participation to entrepreneurs and the |
| entrepreneurial-based initiatives of our Members, providing insight |
| and guidance on leveraging the Foundation’s unique characteristics |
| that benefit these initiatives. We have also started hosting our own |
| GitLab service. Based in Europe, this service provides valuable |
| choices for hosting projects and tooling that are appealing to many |
| Members, notably to our Committers, who form a critical class of |
| membership at the Foundation that is quite unique and uniquely |
| beneficial to our ecosystem. And we are launching other initiatives |
| to better enable all of our own members to highlight, via their own |
| channels, the overall benefit of participation in the Eclipse |
| Foundation to their stakeholders. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Increase and diversify our membership, contributors, and revenue |
| sources.</strong |
| > |
| Aligned with the six strategic goals listed above is an explicit |
| goal to increase and diversify our revenue sources, as well as to |
| continually diversify our membership. In 2020-2021, led by |
| participation in Jakarta EE, we have seen an increase in the number |
| of Asia-based organizations that have become members, as well as an |
| increase in participation of Java User Groups. Both of these |
| represent a broadening of Jakarta’s global community, and impact. |
| Our overall revenue growth continues to be driven largely by the |
| creation of, and participation in, working groups. We expect this |
| trend to continue for the foreseeable future. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h2 id="a_4">Key Board Decisions</h2> |
| <p> |
| Over the past year, the Board has made a number of strategic decisions |
| designed to enable the Foundation to achieve its objectives and |
| fulfill its mission. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Approval of steps to support the Foundation’s international |
| strategy.</strong |
| > |
| In March 2020, the Board took the strategic decision to redomicile |
| the Foundation as a European organization. Throughout 2020/21, the |
| Board executed on this strategy, culminating in the creation in |
| November 2020 of Eclipse Foundation AISBL, an international |
| not-for-profit association based in Brussels. The Board further |
| approved the creation of Eclipse Foundation Canada as a means of |
| streamlining the Foundation’s operations, recognizing that the |
| majority of the Foundation’s staff are based in Canada. All of these |
| changes were made without an impact to overall membership revenues, |
| with a number of Members that were supportive of the move |
| contributing additional funds to support the initiative, and further |
| showing their support for the strategy. More information regarding |
| the details of the Foundation’s international strategy can be found |
| at |
| <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/europe/" |
| >https://www.eclipse.org/europe/</a |
| >. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong> Adoption of new bylaws.</strong> |
| In support of the redomiciling of the Foundation as a Belgian-based |
| organization, the Board approved new bylaws and associated |
| membership agreement. The bylaws have been modernized to meet the |
| needs of the growing and evolving Eclipse community. The new bylaws |
| have streamlined the classes of membership from six classes to four |
| classes: Strategic, Contributing, Associate, and Committer. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Approval to enable the Foundation to enter into an OpenJDK |
| Community TCK License with Oracle. |
| </strong> |
| The Board approved the Foundation to enter into an agreement with |
| Oracle that will enable the Eclipse Foundation to host and |
| distribute Java SE compatible distributions of OpenJDK. This |
| decision paved the way for the formation of the Adoptium Working |
| Group in support of this initiative. By doing so, the Foundation |
| continues to play an ever-important role in the open source Java |
| community. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Approval to enable the OSGi Alliance to contribute its OSGi |
| Specifications to the Eclipse Foundation and for the Foundation to |
| become the successor organization of OSGi Alliance.</strong |
| > |
| The Board granted approval to enable the OSGi Alliance to contribute |
| its specifications under the Eclipse Foundation Specification |
| Process, and for the Foundation to be named as the successor |
| organization of OSGi Alliance. This action benefits our Members who |
| support the OSGi specifications, and ensures the long-term viability |
| of those specifications. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Updates to the Eclipse Code of Conduct.</strong> |
| As part of its ongoing drive to continually foster an open and |
| welcoming community, the Board updated the Eclipse Community Code of |
| Conduct to better match the Foundation’s project and community |
| structures. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong |
| >Restatement of Eclipse Foundation membership fees to be in |
| Euros.</strong |
| > |
| In further support of the redomiciling as a European-based |
| organization, the Foundation took the formal step in October, 2020 |
| to have its fees be stated in Euros rather than U.S. dollars. |
| </li> |
| <br /> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Approval of OpenVSX Registry.</strong> |
| The Board passed a number of resolutions that together have enabled |
| the creation and operation of the OpenVSX Registry, including |
| allowing the registry to distribute hosted content under a broad set |
| of open source licenses. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2 id="a_5">Financials</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Eclipse Foundation’s fiscal year end is December 31. Our auditors |
| are the firm Deloitte & Touche, LLP. Our operating headquarters is |
| located in Ottawa, Canada, with the remainder of our team based in |
| various European countries and the U.S. The Eclipse Foundation is now |
| comprised of four organizations: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Eclipse Foundation AISBL is an international not-for-profit |
| association based in Brussels |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Eclipse.org Foundation, Inc. is incorporated in the State of |
| Delaware, USA as a 501(c)6 not-for-profit |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Eclipse Foundation Canada is a Canadian nonprofit member-based |
| organization incorporated under the laws of Canada |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Eclipse Foundation Europe GmbH is a wholly-owned Germany subsidiary. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Board approved the 2020 audited financial statements of the |
| Foundation at its April 21, 2021 Board meeting. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The Foundation continues to operate on a solid financial footing while |
| continuing to grow. Despite the challenge created by the global |
| COVID-19 pandemic, membership renewals remained strong, including the |
| renewal of all Strategic Members. The Foundation also welcomed Daimler |
| DSS as a Strategic Member, further demonstrating the importance of the |
| Foundation to the automotive industry in general. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Working group revenue grew in 2020, notably with the introduction of |
| the Eclipse Cloud Development Tools working group. Overall, the |
| Foundation has grown to 17 working groups, with each generating |
| revenues to meet the specific objectives of the working group, and |
| overall strengthening the Foundation’s overall ability to drive member |
| value through its initiatives. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Of note, the formation of the Adoptium Working Group and the Eclipse |
| IDE Working Group in early 2021 both include long-term financial |
| commitments from members to the working group model. Looking ahead to |
| the full 2021 fiscal year, the Board approved a cash-neutral budget |
| that called for an increase of revenues to $7.3M, forecasting a |
| deficit of $0.3M. The forecast approved by the Board is considered |
| conservative, based on the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the global |
| pandemic and its impact on membership. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| As a matter of governance, management provides quarterly updates to |
| the Board’s finance committee. Further, all Members are kept up to |
| date regarding the Foundation’s budget through quarterly reports given |
| through its Member Newsletter publications. |

| Of note, the Eclipse Foundation also counts over 1,694 committers. |
| Committers are entitled to membership in the Foundation, and play a |
| valuable role in Eclipse Foundation governance, including |
| representation on the Eclipse Board and on many working group steering |
| committees. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| As of March 31, 2021, the Foundation counts 341 organizations as |
| members. A total of 58 new companies joined as new members of the |
| Foundation from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| As proof of the continued importance of Eclipse working groups to our |
| membership, fully 93% of our Strategic Members participate in one or |
| more working groups, as do approximately 70% of Contributing Members. |
| Further, approximately 50% of new members that joined in 2020 did so |
| as a direct result of their involvement in one or more Eclipse |
| Foundation working groups. We believe this is proof that engagement in |
| working groups continues to be a significant value proposition for |
| participation in Eclipse Foundation membership. |

| The Foundation has continued its relationship with OpenHW Group, the |
| Canadian-based open hardware nonprofit organization dedicated to |
| fostering collaboration among global hardware and software designers |
| in the development of open source cores, related IP, tools, and |
| software. All OpenHW Group Platinum, Gold, and Silver members are also |
| Contributing Members of the Eclipse Foundation, and as of March, 2021, |
| this amounted to 49 Contributing Members. |
