Eclipse is a global open source community with over 440 projects, more than 1800 committers, over 330 member organizations supporting the operation of the Foundation, and with an estimated 5 million active developers using Eclipse. Two-third of the Eclipse community is located in Europe and two-third of the member companies are based in Europe. The Eclipse Foundation is the largest open source organization in Europe as measured in members, developers, and projects.

Software development can have a significant impact on the environment. Moreover, most applications developed today use open source components that represent 80% of the final product. At the Eclipse Foundation, we want to help our members and our community at large to produce more eco-responsible code. By supporting sustainability for our projects, we want to positively impact software engineering and make open source the best way to push Green It topics and to spread IT 4 Green technologies. This is what we want to bootstrap at ICT4S.

Broadpeak empowers video service providers so that they can stream the video content people love with a compelling experience. The French company, heardquarted in Rennes, designs video delivery software for content providers and network service providers deploying video streaming services over fixed, mobile or satellite broadband networks.

While video streaming only represents a small part of the digital industry carbon footprint today, the data usage from video sites and the part of video in the overall internet traffic has been increasing dramatically. It is key for us at Broadpeak to develop streaming technologies that will limit GHG emissions and we believe that events such as ICT4S can trigger great progress on how ICT can support a more sustainable streaming.
