From October 24th to 26th, we will have the pleasure to attend once again EclipseCon Europe in Ludwigsburg, Germany!     This main event for the Eclipse community is the opportunity to discover and share the latest innovations about this open source platform. This year, Obeo will be well represented with 6 of its members being in Germany to present their technologies’ features. Most of them are committers on several Eclipse projects (among which Sirius, EMF Compare, Acceleo, Ecore Tools…).   As we can see on the program, EclipseCon Europe 2017 includes many attractive talks. Here are those presented by Obeo: All about UX in Sirius, at Bürgersaal 2, on Tuesday 24th, from 14:30 to 15:05, by Mélanie Bats (Obeo) & Stéphane Bégaudeau (Obeo) Integrating Xtext and Sirius: Strategies and Pitfalls, at the Theater, on Wednesday 25th, from 12:00 to 12:35, by Cédric Brun (Obeo) & Jan Koehnlein (TypeFox) Live Collaboration on Graphical Models: Sirius Integrat...

  Over the course of its 11 years, a new chapter opens in a story narrating Obeo's independance and growth with the creation of a subsidiary in Vancouver. This is an exciting time for our company that has continually developed since the beginning. With more than 20% of our activity made abroad, being located in Canada will necessarily speed up our international development. This ambitious project will foster the distribution of our open software solutions in North America. These solutions allow our customers to create and transform complex systems: industrial systems (aeronautics, spatial, defence, energy, transport …) information systems of big companies We notably aim to exploite the potential of Capella on the systems engineering market. This Open Source solution to design systems with strong technological challenges (satellites, planes, intelligent cars…) was originally developed by Thales with the support of Obeo ; as part of a col...

The first line of code of the technology actually known as Sirius was written 10 years ago. The legend says that the first version was developed in a train, back from a meeting between Thales and Obeo that will result in a long-term partnership on graphical modeling. One day later, a first metamodel, then named ViewPoint, was born:   In 2010, while a first version was already deployed on Thales projects, Sirius technology was publicly released for the first time under the name of Obeo Designer.   Several years later, in 2013, the decision was made with Thales to contribute this technology as an Open Source project in Eclipse. Our main objective was to foster the adoption of this great component and make it the de-facto standard for graphical modeling in Eclipse. Since then, Sirius is part of the annual release train of the Eclipse platform and has gathered a vibrant community.   What’s up today?   Eclipse Sirius is a field-pr...

On November 9th will start the 3rd edition of SiriusCon Paris. Looking back at the last editions, we remember that both were almost full, that attendees (and us!) learnt a lot from the great speakers’ talks, and that SiriusCon was and will always be a friendly event gathering the graphical modeling community in one of the most beautiful city in the world (yes...you know French people sometimes lack of humility when talking about Paris but except that part, each of these observations is objective). Well, this is a big responsibility and we are working hard to make the 2017 SiriusCon edition even better!   If you haven’t already heard about SiriusCon, just to explain it in a few words, it’s a one-day free international conference dedicated to graphical modeling and more precisely to Eclipse Sirius, the best solution to get your own modeling tool. We think it as a milestone event for every attendees, from beginners to advanced graphical modeling users. Have a look of what Siri...

Almost a month since EclipseCon France is over and it's more than time for coming back on that great event! As a French company located in Nantes, Paris and the no less beautiful pink city Toulouse, we have chosen to be an active sponsor, from the very first EclipseCon France. The Obeo team is always excited to meet the Eclipse community, from project leaders to users, at EclipseCon France. Held every year at the same time as the annual Eclipse release, the conference is the best moment to unveil the latest major versions of our Open Source projects including Eclipse Sirius, and for us to collect your very early feedback. In a way the 2017 edition was special with Capella Day, a one day event dedicated to Capella that was held the day before the conference at the EclipseCon Unconference. You haven’t heard about Capella? It’s a powerful and comprehensive model-based systems engineering solution developed by Thales with Sirius. The less we can say is that Capella Day was a success with...
