Open source ＂evolution theory＂ is hotly debated in the industry： China should actively integrate into the world open source ＂feast＂
China news agency, Shanghai, December 19 (Reporter Beebee Cheng) "At present, 99% of enterprises are using open source software. Open source is the source of the digital economy. " Liu Wei, a member of the party group of Shanghai Science and Technology Association and a second-level inspector, said in Shanghai on the 19th. He said that people outside the circle should realize the value and significance of open source.
On the same day, the 2023 Open Source Industry Ecology Conference was held in Shanghai, which brought together a group of people from government and enterprises to talk about the importance of open source in the digital age and how to "break the circle" and "expand the circle".
Ge Dongbo, chief engineer of Shanghai Economic and Information Technology Commission, pointed out at the meeting that in recent years, China has made positive contributions to the construction of global open source ecology, and the commercial value of open source has been gradually recognized in China market. Shanghai will actively participate in the construction of international open source communities and promote the in-depth cooperation and exchanges between Shanghai and the global open source industries.
Chen Qiyan, founder and CEO of Daoke, said that some enterprises regard the open source community as a "playground without tickets", but most enterprises that only "copy" are difficult to "go far" because iteration is the core value of software.
"People in the’ open source world’ have long wanted to understand this logic. It is not that everyone is an idealist and throws the code into the open source community, but that everyone wants to understand that the code (itself) is worthless. Only more smart people can update the code together, which is the source of value of the underlying technology. " He said.
At the same time, he also pointed out that in the existing architecture, industry interest groups are solidified, and many innovative technologies at the source are difficult to survive and "die" on the beach early; The open source community has provided a fertile ground for technological growth, and also enabled China to quickly break through many barriers of information technology in the past 10 years. He believes that despite the challenges and difficulties, China should actively integrate into the world’s open source "feast".
"An open ecology is more conducive to the reliability of evolution." Wang Xu, vice chairman of the Open Source Technology Committee of Ant Group, said. He gave an example at the meeting: the Galapagos Islands are far away from the land, and their evolution is very "specific". The creatures living on them are well adapted to the environment, but once there is climate change or these creatures are moved to other places, it is difficult for them to survive. Wang Xu believes that in the field of technology, too, open flow is the accelerator of technology "evolution".
According to Gong Ti, president of Huawei’s BG software department, under the new wave of the times, if a closed development model is adopted, it will become more and more difficult for a technology or a company to produce a subversive innovation. The open source and open innovation model is the only way to move towards the era of all things.
He Baohong, director of the Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data of China Information and Communication Research Institute, pointed out that one generation has an industrial ecology. Facing the new technological environment, open source is not limited to open software.
"When we write programs with AIGC, how to define open source?" "Can the code generated by AI enter the open source community?" He pointed out that these are all emerging new problems and need to be answered by the industry together. (End)
