Throughout the software industry, there are a lot of great ideas on how to effectively develop software, and a lot of knowledge around technologies, such as J2EE, and .NET, various tool environments. This article introduces the need for an open source process framework and the benefits of such a process to different audiences. It elaborates on the proposal to create an Eclipse technology project.
And here I was thinking they proposed setting up a framework similar to .NET but open source. Programming for .NET is inherently non-crossplatform, and seems like such a dead end to me, yet people praise it’s architecture/framework/design. Instead it’s a proposal to standardise certain programming methods it seems.
Is there anything like .NET aiming at inter-operability between languages and providing a design framework, but open source?

There’s already language inter-op in .NET. I have no idea about a “design framework”. The first think that .NET needs on non-windows platforms is a decent IDE. Monodevelop isn’t it.
Of course .NET has language inter-operability, that’s why I used it as example
Would it be possible to use Eclipse with something like this? Or am I taking the concept entirely wrong?
