A Journey of Contribution and Collaboration in Open Source
summary
Eclipse Foundation hosts 400+ projects including Jakarta and Eclipse Che and provides governance, CI and supply-chain security services so projects can meet license and regulatory demands. Open source types are solo (watch out for the faker.js incident), single-vendor (can relicense), community, and foundation-backed; each has trade-offs. Contribution paths run user → regular contributor → committer; contributions can be docs, graphics, talks or code. First rule is simple: start contributing where you already work and care.
