🔓 Open source is the key to data sovereignty, security, scalability, and innovation. Gaia-X Hub Germany explores how open source is shaping the future of data spaces — and we at the #EclipseFdn are proud to play a role in this transformation. Through projects like Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) and Eclipse XFSC, we’re enabling transparent, interoperable, and secure digital ecosystems.

“How did I not know this?” That was the reaction from Tom Cranstoun, “The AEM Guy,” during one of the #AI workshops at last week’s inaugural Boye & Company #CMSSummit25 in Frankfurt, Germany. In his guest post on CMS Critic, Tom reflects on the many highlights from the event. But he also laser-focuses on a startling realization that changed his understanding of AI in multilingual #contentmanagement. I’ll let Tom pull back the curtain, but it’s a fascinating revelation, and he goes deep into why it matters. From #agenticAI to #sustainability, the inaugural CMS Summit provided a unique view from the “top of the mountain” and an ideal vantage point for exploring key topics impacting our industry. As Tom shares in his post, the event provided a backdrop for collaborative problem-solving that evolved beyond the typical conference experience, helping us face the existential challenges ahead. “For those working at the intersection of content management and emerging technologies, the path forward requires both technical expertise and strategic vision,” he says. “We're navigating an industry-wide transformation driven by technological changes that pressure vendors, agencies, and clients alike.” This is a fantastic overview with actionable insights, and you can read it here: https://lnkd.in/eKeNfz5T

Check out this interesting report from the latest Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (LZI) Perspectives Workshop on technical debt which brought together researchers, software tool vendors, and software engineering practitioners. This report summarizes the results of the workshop and status of the discipline of technical debt management. There is a widespread consensus in academia and the industry that managing technical debt should be treated as a core software engineering practice. However, there are also gaps that should be addressed by future research effort.   One of these gaps is related to managing technical debt related to architecture and design. The industry is challenged by the complexity and difficulties around managing technical debt on architecture and design level. This involves, for example, measuring the complexity in different dimensions, detecting and quantifying design flaws and hot spots. However, studies have proven that it is the leading source of technical debt in large-scale projects resulting in increased complexity and cost. Thus, there is a need to elevate the role of architecture in the context of managing technical debt and extend the focus beyond code-level issues. This is even more important considering the rise of AI-based coding tools and assistants which involves the risk that technical debt is accumulated more quickly.   https://lnkd.in/eupxHfQD   #ArchitecturalChangeManagement #TechnicalDebt #SoftwareQuality #SoftwareEngineering #SoftwareArchitecture #AICodingTools #AI

💡 "More courage for digital transformation!" —Insights from the Stuttgart AI Summit At the recent summit, experts called for more courage in using AI, especially in SMEs. Currently, only 20 percent of German companies use AI, and a further 25 percent plan to introduce it within a year. Those already investing often see a profit in less than a week — proof of how quickly AI can pay off in production and product development. This issue is close to my heart. In our world of precision packaging machines, AI is not an option but a strategic imperative. For instance, AI-based predictive maintenance solutions are becoming increasingly relevant. By analyzing machine and sensor data in real time, it is possible to detect anomalies early and therefore avoid costly downtime. However, integrating AI is not enough; we must also build AI expertise. In addition to new tools, internal training and knowledge transfer are equally crucial. At Uhlmann Pac-Systeme, we are working to identify and prioritize AI-based use cases. To all machine builders and packaging specialists, let's approach AI with courage. Start small, think big, and mobilize talent. The future of efficient, resilient production depends on it. ➡️ What AI use cases have you tested in industrial environments that pay off quickly? #SmartManufacturing #PharmaPackaging #DigitalTransformation #UhlmannPacSysteme #IndustrialAI https://lnkd.in/e6n7HFyM

And the second #fdg25 conference day at Technische Universität Graz starts with a keynote by Kathrin Gerling... With the main theme "accessible worlds united through play", we’re exploring different topics around this theme: We started with a keynote by Sabine Harrer and Katta Spiel: 🎮 (In)accessible worlds, united through play? — bringing powerful insights on game design, critical access, and inclusive technology. Their interdisciplinary work bridges game studies, HCI, and marginalized perspectives in tech and play. Today's keynote by Kathrin Gerling: 🎮 Kathrin explores player autonomy and what it means for equitable access to games. From therapeutic settings to everyday gameplay, her talk challenges us to rethink how we design for experiential accessibility. #GameResearch #HCI #Accessibility #InclusiveDesign #FDG2025 #fdg25

Proxima Fusion + Freistaat Bayern + Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics + RWE = 🔥 Today, Proxima Fusion, Europe’s fastest-growing fusion energy company, has signed an agreement with the Free State of Bavaria, RWE, and Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP). It’s a landmark agreement to the tune of EUR 2bn to build the world’s first commercial fusion power plant in Europe. This is an endorsement from politics, industry and academia of one of our central hypotheses when we led Proxima Fusion’s Seed round about two years ago: that Proxima’s stellarator approach to fusion is the most likely to be put on the grid first. It’s incredible execution by Proxima under the leadership of Francesco Sciortino, Lucio Milanese, Martin Kubie, Jorrit Lion, Jonathan Schilling to reach this transformational milestone. This is a pathway for Europe to assert its global leadership in nuclear fusion and strengthen Europe’s energy security, industrial competitiveness and long-term resilience. We are incredibly excited to be on this journey with the Proxima team.This is only the beginning. Onwards 🚀 #empoweringGameChangers #FusionEnergy #EuropeanInnovation #DeepTech #EnergyTransition
