Open Source Innovations Set to Make a Major Impact in 2021 and Beyond

Happy New Year, everyone. Welcome to our first newsletter of 2021.

To start the year, we’re highlighting two projects that have recently made great strides forward and are set to make a significant impact in their respective industries in 2021 and beyond. These projects are prime examples of what’s possible when developers collaborate openly to advance technology on a level playing field.

As the year progresses, we’ll continue to share examples of key projects to watch. If your project has achieved a critical milestone, garnered industry attention, or is breaking new ground, we’d love to share your progress with the broader community. To get in touch with us about contributing an article to our newsletter, email marketing@eclipse.org.

Happy Reading!
