2022 Proposal Topics
Here is what the program committee is looking for at this year's EclipseCon. If you aren't sure what topic is the best fit for your submission, just take a best guess and the program committee may change it later.
To submit a proposal, visit the Call for Proposals page.
Web & Desktop Tools & IDEs
Some of the most influential developer tools and IDE platforms are Eclipse projects.
Talks in the areas of desktop tools like Eclipse Platform and Eclipse JDT and web-based tools such as Eclipse Theia, Eclipse Che, and CDT.cloud are all welcome. Share what's new in your tooling support and your favorite tips and tricks. Tell us about the best frameworks and extensions, how you have built them, what technologies they adopt, and the lessons you learned.
Let us hear about your recent innovation on these tools and related plug-ins or extensions.
Cloud Native Technologies
This track is about everything you need to know about developing cloud native applications including microservices.
The topics include best practices, experiences, and recommendations using technologies and frameworks such as Eclipse Vert.x, MicroProfile, and Jakarta EE as well as reactive programming, containers, orchestration and DevOps.
IoT & Edge
IoT development is expanding at a rapid pace, driving applications such as Industry 4.0; smart city, building automation, smart home, and other emerging use cases. This requires solutions not only on the cloud side, but also for edge computing, gateways, and constrained devices.
If you have a story to tell about using Eclipse IoT projects, new open source projects for IoT, experiences with building IoT solutions or delivering edge services for IoT, then submit your talk here.
Java
Java is moving forward faster with a rapid release model. Every new Java version promises interesting features and updates.
Eclipse is involved in this dynamic with projects like OSGi, Adoptium, OpenJ9 and others.
If you are an early adopter, tell us about your first experience. Share your experience with pattern matching, records, module system, Java libraries, garbage collection, performance tuning, real-time Java, combining Java with other JVM languages, and other interesting things you do in the Java world.
Modeling Tools & Technologies
Many projects from Eclipse are supporting the creation and deployment of modeling tools and low-code/no-code environments.
Contributions in the areas of desktop or web based tools, textual or graphical, model transformation and code generation using technologies such as EMF, Eclipse Xtext, Eclipse Sirius, EMF.cloud, Eclipse GLSP, Eclipse Sprotty, Papyrus, Eclipse Capella and many more are all welcome. /p>
If you have lessons learned to share about using such projects to build your modeling tool, recent innovation in the technologies or how you customized it, then submit your talk here.
Automotive & Mobility
This track is new and reflects the constant increase of working groups and projects centered around Automotive and Mobility use cases. Currently, there are 5 such working groups and 11 projects grouped under the automotive top-level project and there is more to come.
If you are involved in these or similar activities, this is your opportunity to share news, applications, and experiences or to tell a story around your automotive open source adventure.
The Open Source Way
The freedom of open source software to use, study, modify, distribute and redistribute code is becoming indispensable for companies, organizations and the society.
This track focuses on open source usage, contributions and leadership, tools and best practices for managing OSS in organizations, open source business models, governance models for companies, OSPOs, initiatives to bring forward OSPO activities, the value of open source foundations, risks and rewards in doing open source and more.
Share your experiences and learnings, talk about your plans and put your talk to this track.
All Things Quality & Security
Whatever you‘re building and however you’re building it, the testing, quality, and security of your code and processes is an integral part of the development process.
Whether you’re using or developing specific tools for automating your tests, moving your tests to production, fighting new testing challenges due to distributed systems, designing processes to secure your software supply chain, or figuring out how to test the systems of the future, we want to hear your experiences! This track is also the place for your talks on code coverage, code reviews, and static code analysis.
Other Cool Stuff
Not everything will fit easily into one of these tracks. Robots, AI/machine learning, rockets, blockchains, quantum computing or any other cool topics.
If your talk is hard to categorize but fun or cool for technically minded folks, submit it here!
