As we gear up for more exciting milestones in the Eclipse SDV community, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I’m Amin Rasti, the new Senior Product Marketing Manager at the Eclipse Foundation, focused on supporting the growth and visibility of our Software Defined Vehicle initiative. 

With over a decade of experience in marketing and product marketing – and a deep appreciation for open source – I’m thrilled to join a community that’s not only shaping the future of automotive software, but doing so through openness, collaboration, and shared innovation. 

What drew me to SDV isn’t just the technology (though it’s fascinating!) – it’s the people. The engineers, architects, contributors, and curious minds who are coming together to reimagine what mobility can be. 

In my role, I’ll be working closely with many of you to help tell our collective story, amplify your achievements, and build a stronger global presence for the projects and people behind SDV. My goal is to elevate the voice of this community and highlight the innovation happening within our working group – from groundbreaking technical advancements to the strategic shifts redefining the future of automotive software.

If you’re working on something exciting or want support in telling your project’s story, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s make sure the world hears what we’re building – together.
