The first openEuler Summit was held online: Creating a better operating system for diverse computing scenarios

[51CTO.com original article] [China, April 17, 2020] Today, the openEuler community held the first openEuler Virtual Summit 2020 online, aiming to share new industry progress with the computing industry and discuss new version technology planning. The openEuler community adheres to the concept of "co-construction, sharing, and co-governance" to create a more user-friendly operating system for diverse computing scenarios. At the same time, openEuler is also an innovative platform that encourages global developers to propose new ideas and new ideas on the platform, implement new solutions, and accelerate the innovative development of the computing industry.

Keynote guest Jiang Dayong delivered a keynote speech on "openEuler Accelerated Computing Industry Development"

Jiang Dayong, the keynote guest at the summit, said that openEuler is not only a Linux distribution, nor is it just an open source community. OpenEuler is also an innovative platform. All developers, partners, and open source enthusiasts can participate together to innovate around customer scenarios, generate more new ideas, make the application experience better, and make the computing industry more prosperous.

Many operating system vendors participate in the openEuler community and actively contribute

More and more operating system vendors, such as iSoft, Kylin Software, CAS Software Institute, and Turbolinux, have released commercial distributions based on openEuler and actively participated in community contributions. Among them, iSoft contributed its leading Mate-Desktop desktop project to the openEuler community and was responsible for the community infrastructure construction, GTK4 Porting, Wayland Porting, and code review of the project; Kylin Software introduced the enterprise-level virtualization solution oVirt and the lightweight desktop project UKUI to the openEuler community; the CAS Software Institute will encourage more developers to participate in the openEuler community through the "Open Source Software Supply Chain Lighting Plan" to promote the development of open source software in China.

Join hands with upstream and downstream industries to prosper the diverse computing industry ecosystem

The prosperity and development of the diverse computing industry cannot be separated from the joint participation of upstream and downstream of the industry chain. Tsinghua Tongfang, a leading manufacturer of computer products and industry informatization, has invested more than 200 senior experts in the development of multi-core heterogeneous computing machines, and 9 major production bases across the country to provide production capacity support for the diverse computing ecosystem. At the same time, it has two major R&D centers in Beijing and Shenzhen to support ecological adaptation-related work, and has now achieved support for openEuler 20.03 LTS and commercial distributions.

The openEuler community will launch capacity-enhancing activities such as training, empowerment, and certification. These activities include but are not limited to professional technical certification in the operating system field, technical salons for software vendor (ISV) developer training and empowerment, and operating system-related technical courses and experimental guidance for college students and beginners.

"Co-construction, sharing, and co-governance" to create an operating system for diverse computing scenarios

Dozens of special interest group (SIG) technical seminars were set up at this summit. The participating technical experts and community participants will have detailed discussions on feature planning, development and maintenance of technical directions such as infrastructure (Kernel, package management, security, etc.), applications (desktop, compiled languages, compilers, etc.), virtualization and containers (iSula, oVirt, etc.), laying a solid foundation for the smooth launch of the openEuler 20.09 LTS version.

The openEuler Summit 2020 was held online from April 17 to 18. It is the annual flagship event of the openEuler community for global open source community participants. The conference aims to build a communication and practice platform to bring together computing industry chain vendors and developers to build an open, diverse and inclusive software ecosystem.
