What does the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation do?
In order to meet the needs of the ecosystem, the ErlEF sponsors Working Groups to solve specific challenges faced by users of BEAM technology. Areas of particular interest include documentation, interoperability, and performance.
Build and Packaging
To evolve the tools in the ecosystem related to building, documenting, and deploying code, with a strong focus on interoperability between BEAM languages.
Learn More →Education, Training, & Adoption
Facilitate, evolve education and training and consolidate educational material(s) for all BEAM languages and the BEAM itself.
Learn More →Embedded
Standardize, improve, and promote the APIs, tooling, and infrastructure for building embedded systems and IoT devices using Erlang VMs
Learn More →External Process Communication, Interoperability and Robustness
External Process Communication, Interoperability and Robustness
Learn More →Fellowship
To formally nominate community members for a fellowship role according to the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation bylaws. Creating and maintaining the criteria and procedure for nomination of fellows.
Learn More →Language Interoperability
Facilitate the reuse of software components that target the Erlang Runtime.
Learn More →Observability
To evolve the tools in the ecosystem related to observability, such as metrics, distributed tracing and logging, with a strong focus on interoperability between BEAM languages.
Learn More →Machine Learning
To develop the ecosystem on all aspects in the context of Machine Learning, from native compilation to high-level abstractions and auxiliary projects.
Learn More →Security
The mission of the Security Working Group is to identify security issues, and provide solutions, develop guidance, standards, technical mechanisms and documentation.
Learn More →Marketing
To expand awareness of Erlang Ecosystem and participation in its community. To promote the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation and its activities, and to increase engagement in the foundation.
Learn More →Libraries and Frameworks
To provide resources for library and framework authors to ensure that BEAM languages have a rich, vibrant ecosystem with a high degree of developer experience.
