The document discusses the Eclipse ecosystem and working groups. It notes that in 2010, Eclipse became more than just an IDE, with projects now required to conform to the Eclipse process and legal framework. Working groups like PolarSys collaborate on open source tools for embedded systems development. The OpenPASS working group focuses on the evaluation and assessment of active safety systems through an open source toolset.

2. 2010 – Eclipse becomes more than an IDE
• Before: Eclispe projects are:
– Developed in Java
– Bundled in OSGi
– Run on the Eclipse plaQorm
• A7er: Eclipse projects must conform with the
Eclipse process and legal framework

4. Eclipse Public License
• Default license for all Eclipse projects
• OSI cer@fied as an open source license
• The most commercially friendly weak copyle7 license
– Allows commercial re-licensing of binaries
– Modern patent license, with reasonable termina@on clause in event of
li@ga@on
• With the approval of the Board, Eclipse projects can be
licensed under different terms than the EPL

5. Eclipse Development Process
• Proven process for crea@ng
successful open source projects and
communi@es
• Open, Transparent, Meritocra@c
• Vendor-neutral
• Supported by professional staff with
years of experience

7. The PolarSys Working Group
• PolarSys is an Eclipse Industry Working Group
created by large industry players and by tools
providers to collaborate on the crea@on and
support of Open Source tools for the development
of embedded systems.
• Domains such as aerospace, defense and security,
energy, health care, telecommunicaAons,
transportaAon must meet several requirements.
• Main projects:
– Capella, CDT, Papyrus, Titan, Trace Compass

11. A theoretic basis about the management
of common property resources
• Elinor Ostrom (August 7, 1933 – June 12, 2012) was an American poli@cal economist.
• 2009: Nobel Memorial Prize with Oliver E. Williamson, for "her analysis of economic
governance, especially the commons".
• Ostrom iden@fied 8 "design principles" of stable local Common Pool Resource
management:
1. Clearly defined boundaries;
2. Rules adapted to local
conditions;
3. Open decision-making
process;
4. Effective monitoring;

5. A scale of graduated sanctions;
6. Cheap and easy conflict
resolution;
7. Self-determination of the
community;
8. Multiple nested layers for
scalability.
