As a maintainer and project lead, for example of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/projects.eclipse.org\/projects\/automotive.bluechi\">Eclipse BlueChi<\/a>, the most rewarding aspect is the interaction and exchange with the community, from documentation improvements to discussions around bugs and new features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What has been your #1 benefit of joining the Eclipse SDV Working Group?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has granted us the opportunity to collaborate directly with industry leaders and innovators to co-create open, interoperable solutions to shape the future of the Software-Defined Vehicle and challenge the status quo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s your 1-sentence pitch for Eclipse BlueChi \u2013 why is it worth getting involved in the project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harness the power of systemd \u2013 one of the most widely used service managers in Linux \u2013 through Eclipse BlueChi, a deterministic, lightweight, and soon-to-be ISO 26262-certified in-vehicle multi-node service orchestrator, to manage both containerised and non-containerised applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How would you describe Eclipse SDV in three hashtags?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#OpenSourceByDefault<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#NextGenAutomotive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#ReinventMobility<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.eclipse.org\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/2025-08\/profile-pic.png?itok=_XyuVWEl\" alt=\"Person smiling while sitting by a lake with pine trees and mountains in the background on a sunny day.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Michael Engel is a Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat as well as the tech lead of Eclipse BlueChi.
