Hi Everyone 👋,

Who is behind Eclipse Tractus-X? How do so many organizations build one open-source project together? And where is the project heading? Until now, the answers were spread across blog posts, meeting minutes and presentations. That changes today: we are happy to present our brand-new About Us page! 🎉

Community Built. Open to everyone. — that is the message at the heart of the page. Eclipse Tractus-X brings together contributors from different organizations, open-source projects, industry initiatives and independent companies, and the new page tells that story in one place.

Hi Everyone 👋,

After the great energy of our first international Open Source Hackathon in Bilbao this February, it is time for round two: we are happy to invite you to the Second International Eclipse Tractus-X Hackathon, taking place on November 6, 2026 at ARENA2036 e.V. (Pfaffenwaldring 19, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany)! 🚀

This time we have one big mission: re-architecting the Eclipse Tractus-X Portal — and we want to do it together with you, in a design thinking and programming hackathon. On-site in Stuttgart, or optionally online.

The hackathon is organized as part of the Eclipse Tractus-X Accelerator, our cohort-based program that lowers the barriers to joining and actively contributing to the Eclipse Tractus-X open-source community.

Dear Eclipse Tractus-X - and Dataspace-Community,

It is with great joy and renewed enthusiasm that we invite you to the Seventh Eclipse Tractus-X Community Days, taking place on December 3–4, 2026 at ARENA2036 e.V. (Pfaffenwaldring 19, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany)! 🎉

Building on the success of our previous six editions, the Community Days once again offer a unique platform for exchange, innovation, and collaboration within the Eclipse Tractus-X and Manufacturing-X/Industrie 4.0 ecosystems. Whether it's technical deep dives, open workshops, or strategic discussions — the program is designed for everyone working together on open, interoperable, and trustworthy data spaces and looking to drive their implementation in Manufacturing-X projects.
