The following is the transcript of Ren Xudong's speech ：

Hello everyone , I'm Ren Xudong from Huawei , I'm very glad to have the opportunity to discuss the topic of open source today , The theme I share is 《 Focus on open source basic software , Work together to cultivate open source fertile soil 》.

China open source these years

Over time , Open source has become the most open and innovative means in the software field , It has even become the de facto standard of the entire digital age . meanwhile , Chinese software also faces many basic challenges , It needs all walks of life to shoulder together , Let applications from all walks of life grow on more secure basic software .

With the development of digitalization and software , China is becoming a key link in the global open source software value chain , We need to continuously enrich the soil for open source .

As you can see from the picture above , For cities , If the environmental soil is not good enough, it will be difficult to retain excellent people . Again , If open source wants to develop rapidly, it also needs fertile soil .

Although open source in China has become a key link in the global software value chain , But there are still many problems 、 Less contribution 、 Lack of top-level original open source projects 、 The open source ecosystem is relatively simple, and there are various challenges of scarcity . Of course , We also have the inherent advantage of open source ：

• Experience in all industrial sectors ;
• Demographic dividend brings engineer bonus ;
• Open source software is deeply rooted in the software system .

How to take open source software as the fulcrum , Build open source black land and root community , Let China truly become the key core force in the global open source software value system , It still needs constant exploration and efforts .

Huawei's open source contribution

Commercial value + Industrial value , Business success of service partners , Consolidate the foundation of Chinese software

The inevitable condition for the vigorous development of open source is that it can bring commercial success to developers and enterprises , Only in this positive cycle can open source contributors get commercial feedback .

The success of open source software requires not only commercial value but also industrial value , The industrial value of open source is also the inevitable result of the prosperity of open source . Only commercial value and industrial value develop together , In order to really consolidate the foundation of Chinese software .

Based on the above understanding , Huawei's industrial development proposition in the open source field “ Open cooperation 、 Build and share 、 Prosper the ecology ”. In maintaining global standards 、 Promote the global development of open source 、 Build a healthy alliance ecosystem 、 Enable the industry to contribute to the process of digital transformation , At the same time, we should actively promote the innovation of key technologies 、 Promote global industrial synergy .

insist “ solve the problem , Create value ” Open source concept , Constantly improve internal skill , Continuous external contributions

• 2012 year , Join in OpenStack、Apache The foundation , Form an open source strategic level decision-making mechanism , Equip professional teams for open source heavyweight projects ;
• 2016 year , Join in Eclipse The foundation , Open source decisions are delegated to grassroots industries and R & D organizations ;
• 2020 year , Initiate and participate in the establishment of open atom open source foundation in China , Joined in the same year OIF and OIIN Open source foundation , Initially realize the external open source of basic software ;
• 2021 year , Join in O3DF Wait for the open source foundation , Start professional feedback community construction , At the same time, continue to build internal capabilities .

Lead and launch several heavyweight open source projects , Actively participate in global open source contributions , Accelerate open innovation

Huawei's contribution in the open source field mainly focuses on the core basic software field , In this regard, we have launched many heavyweight open source projects .

 

In the world's leading open source community , Contribution ranking is high , Have 200 Multiple TSC、PMC、PTL、Maintainer、Committer Equal seats . At the same time, actively participate in global contributions , In depth cooperation with mainstream open source foundations .

Open source of basic software , Collaborative building of digital world root technology

In the field of basic software open source , Keep the hardware open 、 Software open source strategy , Actively build core competence , Cooperate with partners in the industry to build digital root technology .

• openEuler： Match scenes with rich computational power 、 Stimulate continuous innovation of operating system 、 Open support for a variety of computing architectures 、 Realize the coordination of diverse computing power ;
• OpenHarmony： The whole scene calls for new experience and ecology 、 Promote open governance and industrial co construction ;
• MindSpore： End cloud full scene AI Applied Ecology 、 Give consideration to the flexibility of academic research and the high performance of industry ;
• Cloud Native： Build an open source distributed cloud native ecosystem 、 Build a consistent application experience across the cloud .

Establish a credible open source community system , Support the vigorous development of open source projects

How to make the community more compliant 、 Security 、 Credibility is a key issue , Based on years of accumulation , Huawei has built a credible open source community system , As shown in the figure below .

The system is built on credible values , Build consistency between words and deeds 、 Community first 、 Actively and courageously raise questions and promote improvement 、 Unity of 、 Self evolution 、 Respect and abide by the community . Strengthen community credibility 、 Trustworthy characteristics of the project , Achieve a truly open, transparent and compliant, secure, and complete delivery .

At present , This system is widely accepted in the open source field , Become a trusted framework for everyone to discuss and use .

Accelerate scientific and technological innovation , Promote intelligent reconfiguration , Promote industrial upgrading

The combination of open source and business can promote scientific and technological innovation 、 Intelligently restructure and promote industrial upgrading , Huawei's core open source projects also have good collaboration with all walks of life .

 

 

Open source is the theme of development

The core elements of China's open source ecosystem are coordinated ,“ production 、 learn 、 study 、 use ” To be twisted into a rope

 

To develop open source, there must be multiple elements in the industry ：

• Open source foundation ： Incubation projects , Cultivate open source basic software ;
• Open source organization ： Hosting platform , Open source promotion , Community assistance ;
• Technology enterprises ： Technological innovation , Constructing ecology ;
• Colleges and universities / Scientific research institutions ： personnel training , Academic exploration ;
• Startup： commercial , Technology exploration ;
• VC investment ： Commercial realization , Project incubation ;
• Media platform ： Open source culture publicity , Technology Extension .

Open source innovation is “ the 14th Five-Year Plan ” The theme of software innovation in this period , More high-quality basic software open source projects will emerge , It will also accelerate the digital transformation of all walks of life in the whole society . Here I call for more vitality 、 Creative developers invest in open source , More enterprises attach importance to open source , Social “ production 、 learn 、 study 、 use ” All elements of collaboration , To enhance the fertility of open source land in China , Truly help industrial chain collaborative innovation .
