From Observer to Active Open Source Contributor: The LKS Next Trajectory Natalia Loungou Mon, 2026-07-13 02:57

Open source collaboration sounds great in theory, but the journey from observer to active contributor, especially for a company seeking strategic business advantage, can feel complicated. How do you start, and more importantly, how do you gain influence in a massive ecosystem?

At the Eclipse Foundation, we witness this transformation daily. This is the story of how LKS Next, the technology and consulting company within the Mondragon Corporation, went from having zero positioning in the dataspace domain to becoming a recognised leader in Eclipse Tractus-X, one of the Foundation’s most active projects, in less than 18 months.

Eclipse SUMO 1.27.1 Is Now Available! Angelo Banse Thu, 2026-06-25 04:12

Due to regressions in mesoscopic behavior and visualization, we are releasing SUMO version 1.27.1 as a hotfix.
The download links are (as always) here: https://sumo.dlr.de/download
The major changes are listed below and the full list of changes is given at https://sumo.dlr.de/Changelog
If you cite the new release in your publications, please use the DOI
10.5281/zenodo.20836073 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20836073)

## Bugfixes

- sumo
- Fixed crash in sublane simulation with unusual turning lanes (regression in 1.27.0)
- Fixed invalid strategic lane choice when connections have reduced permissions
- Fixed extreme reduction in simulation speed when setting high road speed limits in a dense road network
- Fixed bugs where behavior diverges after loading state
- Vehicles with departLane "best" or "best_prob" are no longer inserted on forbidden edges

- netedit
- Fixed crash after renaming tlLogic (regression in 1.27.0)
- Fixed crash after calling undo and 'select parents'
- Fixed awkward workflow for reducing the network based on edge attributes.

- sumo-gui
- Fixed invalid color for shown route when activating vehicle id background color (meso only) (regression in 1.11.0)
- meso vehicles no do not flicker while waiting in a queue (regression in 1.27.0)
- meso vehicles do not overlap while queued on a single lane (regression in 1.27.0)
- fixed crash in meso (regression in 1.27.0)

- meso
- The default of option --no-internal-links was changed back to 'true' when running with --mesosim. Short segments break jam propagation and this frequently happens with short internal links. (regression in 1.27.0)
- fixed unsafe rail insertion

- duarouter
- Fixed crash when called with --repair (regression in 1.24.0)

- TraCI
- Fixed reversed driving after calling moveTo on a vehicle that is overtaking through the opposite direction

- tools
- routeSampler.py: can now load marouter output (routeDistributions)
- gtfspt.py: several fixes concerning stop placement on partial routes

## Enhancements

- sumo
- CarFollowModel "Rail', can now include train resistance due to curvature by setting
- CarFollowingModels now save their state (VehicleVariables)

## Miscellaneous

- Fixed code signing issues for libsumo on macOS
- Added new Railway scenario tutorial

Have fun with the new release,
Yun-Pang, Pablo, Angelo, Micha, Robert and Jakob
