Our Contribution to Open Source – Synesty at OCX 2026

Our Contribution to Open Source: Synesty at OCX 2026

On April 23, 2026, from 14:00 to 14:15 CET (Details), Synesty will take the stage at the Open Community Experience (OCX) 2026 in Brussels — one of Europe’s leading conferences for open-source innovation, organized by the Eclipse Foundation.

For us, this is more than just a presentation slot. It is an opportunity to actively contribute to the open-source ecosystem that plays a central role in how we design, build, and evolve our platform.

Why Open Source Matters to Synesty

Open source is deeply embedded in Synesty’s DNA. Our integration platform is built as a modular system based on OSGi, allowing functionality to be extended through add-ons while maintaining a clean, scalable architecture.

This approach depends on a mature and reliable tooling ecosystem. In our daily development, bnd and Bndtools are essential. They provide the foundation for managing OSGi bundles, dependencies, and modular structures efficiently.

Using these tools, we are able to:

Develop and operate a highly modular application architecture
Maintain clear and reliable dependency management
Ensure long-term maintainability and scalability
Accelerate development through proven open-source tooling

For us, bnd and Bndtools are not just tools — they are key enablers of our product strategy. With this talk, we aim to give back to the community by sharing hands-on experience and proven approaches.

Strengthening the Open Source Ecosystem

Events like OCX highlight the importance of collaboration in today’s software landscape. They bring together communities, companies, and contributors who collectively drive innovation forward.
