Yoel,
Thanks a lot for the information. Do you know about the IoT MeetUp and
Community in Zurich: http://www.meetup.com/__ms14373150/IoT-Zurich
I've been there (as Special Guest being the only one who came from
abroad;-) last year during a Global IoT Day meeting. A few cities do this
again this year, but it seems IoT is everywhere and every day now, so there
are fewer events on that particular day;-)
However, your framework sounds exciting and if you're able to present it in
Zurich some time I'm sure the'd be very interested to learn about it. After
May I should also be in Switzerland (the German part) more often, so I
would be equally keen to meet you and see the framework in action or do
some Hacking around it with Eclipse and/or Java technologies in support of
Science, Smart Home or Quantified Self.

A major blocker would be the use of the GPLv3 licence.

Hello Yoel,
I think your software is python based? There is no reason why a python project cannot join the group. Eclipse foundation does allow projects in languages other than Java. With DAWN, we distribute python and Pydev and could distribute your work with the product, although we do not normally do this for UI.
I suppose you already know about Euro scipy 2015? https://www.euroscipy.org/

Subject: [science-iwg] Instrumentino - an open-source framework for Arduino based (but not only) scientific instruments
Hi to all of the members in the Eclipse Science working group.
My name is Joel Koenka, a 3rd year PhD in the group of Prof. Peter Hauser<http://www.chemie.unibas.ch/%7Ehauser/index.html>
In our group, we build Analytical Chemistry instruments ourselves, and try to improve them with new ideas.
In the past few years, we've started using Arduino for controlling our various instruments, and I realized the need for a GUI framework for scientific instruments.
Currently, this market is controlled by LabView<http://www.ni.com/labview/> (National Instruments).
This is a very powerful software, but also very expensive. On top of that, many people find it hard to use<https://jshoer.wordpress.com/2007/08/03/why-i-hate-despise-detest-and-loathe-labview/>, and specifically in our research group it led to frustration.
So being an experienced programmer, I set out to build a GUI framework for scientific instruments, that lets system developers to have powerful custom user interfaces for their systems, while requiring the minimal programming effort from them. This is key, as most system builders (at least in academia) have little or no programming experience.
I called it Instrumentino<https://github.com/yoelk/Instrumentino> to imply it's meant to control Arduino based instruments, but I wrote it in a more general way, so other microcontrollers can be used instead (such as RaspberryPi, RedPitaya, etc.).
Attached to this email are two article (one already published and the second to be published soon) about Instrumentino.
The reason I'm writing to you, is that I want to keep developing Instrumentino, making it the open-source alternative to LabView, and to enable instrument developers have good and effective GUI programs to control their experiments.
To do this, I need some help. I've been developing Instrumentino alone for quite some time, and being a busy PhD student, I realize I need help.
I've heard about the Science working group of the Eclipse foundation by chance, during a scientific conference, where I met one of the guys behind OpenChrom<https://openchrom.net/>, another project under the Science working group umbrella.
I think Instrumentino can fit nicely to this framework, and I hope to find other open-hardware enthusiasts to join me in perfecting Instrumentio.
Also, I hope to be able to integrate code pieces from other projects, adding capabilities to the system.
So I propose this as a project in the science working group. Is anyone interested?
Thanks and good day,
Joel
