Join the Community

Open Source and Open Collaboration

The Eclipse Cloud DevTools Working Group is a vendor-neutral community that collaborates on new open source technologies for cloud native development. Community members work together to define, promote and implement web and cloud-based development tools, while also driving the evolution and broad adoption of these tools.

Here are a few resources to help you become more familiar with our community and members:

Virtual Events

Cloud Tool Time Webinars

The Cloud Tool Time webinar series showcases Cloud DevTools projects, technologies, and adopters. The audience is anyone interested in cloud development tools, in particular developers and potential adopters of the software.

To propose a Cloud Tool Time topic, or request to be a presenter, please fill out this form. These events are managed through our Virtual Eclipse Community Meetup on Meetup.com.

Cloud Chat Live Stream

Cloud Chat is a Twitch.tv interview series that explores trends in open source cloud development. This series consists of pre-recorded live streams. It is hosted by Jesse Williams from AWS, and features project leads, contributors, adopters and other cloud development enthusiasts. Guests are interviewed about their projects, cloud-native best practices, product road maps and other topics of interest. Some guests also provide live demos.

Calls

Steering and Marketing Committee Calls

We hold bi-weekly Steering and Marketing Committee calls. Minutes are distributed on the Cloud DevTools working group list.

Cloud DevTools Community Calls

We hold regular, roughly quarterly, community calls, where we discuss ongoing initiatives, upcoming events and give projects the opportunity to share updates with the community. These are listed on the Cloud DevTools Google calendar and announced on the Cloud DevTools working group list.

Recordings of previous Cloud DevTools Community Calls can be found on our YouTube playlist.

Project Calls

Several projects within the Cloud DevTools ecosystem hold their own calls to keep in touch with their communities. If you leverage any of these projects or are just curious to know more, please consider attending.

Eclipse Che Community Meeting: These weekly calls are meant for Che adopters and contributors to chat about project development details (can be planning, concerns, or more technical details). The goal is to better synchronize and organize efforts of the various contributors in order to make Che better.

Eclipse Theia Dev Meeting: Developers, adopters, and anyone interested can join this weekly call to discuss anything related to the development and improvement of Theia.

All Cloud DevTools calls and events are managed through a single shared Google calendar.
