Open source culture is still shining - in the openeuler community, with technology and idea, you are the protagonist

For developers and enterprise users ,Linux There is no doubt about the ruling power of ;OpenSUSE、CentOS、Debian、Ubuntu、Fedora And other well-known distributions have accumulated a large number of fans in the long history of development . Although mature and reliable , But these “ Old fool ” Their disadvantages are also obvious ： The new generation of developers and users can hardly affect the subsequent updates of these distributions ; The slightly obsolete system architecture can only be continuously repaired under the heavy pressure of massive historical burden .

meanwhile , In the ever-changing application scenarios and devices , Enterprise users and developers also have to “ Old architecture ” It is difficult to choose between the miscellaneous and inefficient and the extremely high learning threshold of minority distribution . Regardless of the choice , Its cost and cost are extremely high .

obviously , It's time to take advantage of new technology 、 The new concept is Linux Recast a distribution that belongs to a new era . And that's what openEuler The original intention of birth .

Start a new journey of this era

With those heavy historical burdens 、 The old faces that are difficult to make systematic changes are different ,openEuler The server was fully considered at the beginning of the design 、 cloud 、 edge 、 Embedded and many other application scenarios , And through modular functional components to achieve better adaptability and scalability . After the source code is managed by the open atom open source foundation ,openEuler Especially for developers from all over the world 、 Ecological partners and users have opened the door .

For all developers and users ,openEuler It's just opened 、 A new journey with great goals ; what's more , This journey is a journey that everyone can personally participate in and witness . Held recently openEuler Developer Day 2022 At the conference ,openEuler What's more, Huawei ,Intel、 Open source chip Research Institute （RISC-V）、 Hyperfusion 、 Xinhua three 、 Ecological support from Kirin software and other top enterprises in the industry . And among these industry giants , It is the participation and contribution of more ordinary developers .

As an ordinary Developer , Experience the of a new journey 0 To 1

openEuler The community follows SIG（Special Interests Group） Organize the development and version release work in the form of . Currently in openEuler On the official website of the project , We have been able to see nearly a hundred SIG team , Involving functional component updates 、 Applied ecological construction 、 Hardware adaptation and many other fields .

Du Yiwei in the office is an ordinary engineer of Kirin Software ; And Du Yiwei in the community is SIG-OKD（ Red hat's open source PaaS platform ） Group maintainer, be responsible for OKD Development and maintenance of related components 、NestOS R & D and the convening and discussion of monthly group meetings . meanwhile , Du Yiwei is still CloudNative、QA、Release Participate in the discussion and contribute code in the group .

According to Du Yiwei himself , Initial participation openEuler The community is in 2021 year 3 month ; At first, it was just SIG-BIO（ Biologically related applications ） The team submitted a software package . Except Du Yiwei , The group also includes predecessors from many universities and research institutions ; In continuous listening and discussion , Du Yiwei's depth and breadth of technology have been rapidly improved . But beyond that , What fascinates Du Yiwei most is SIG Strong technical atmosphere and heated discussion in the group 、 Sharing the environment , And the sense of belonging from the community . ad locum , Open source is not only a way of software collaborative development , It is also a culture respected by all participants ; Let every developer's enthusiasm 、 Patience and confidence can be translated into code , Become the driving force of the technological progress of the operating system .

Share through continuous participation in the community 、 Discussion and offline activities , Du Yiwei is sometimes a guest in the spotlight 、 Sometimes it's the audience 、 Sometimes it's the participants in the discussion 、 Sometimes it's a contributor to the code .“ ad locum , No matter who you are , As long as you have technology 、 Yes idea, You are the main character . ad locum , We can boldly put forward our own ideas , As long as it is feasible 、 reasonable , Will get the support of the community ”; When talking about the community , Du Yiwei's enthusiasm is beyond expression .

Of course , In addition to the rapid progress in technology , Du Yiwei also felt the power and importance of the ecological chain through the community . at present ,openEuler There are nearly in the community 2 Ten thousand packages , While continuously updating existing software packages , There are new software packages in more areas to join the community . At the hardware level ,openEuler I have also finished with Kunpeng 、 Intel 、 Feiteng 、 Shenwei 、 Megacore and other platforms . And this software + The massive combination of hardware is the power and charm of the ecological chain . On the other hand , The participation and sharing of experts and talents from many parties also gives more ordinary developers similar to Du Yiwei the opportunity to obtain new knowledge in different fields , Gain new ability to think from different angles .

meanwhile , Du Yiwei's work also began to work with openEuler There is intersection . Join with Kirin Software openEuler ecology , Du Yiwei is responsible for NestOS The project also chose openEuler, Become openEuler One of many distributions of . thus , Du Yiwei also realized the power of the community from the perspective of ecological partners . stay NestOS In the process of image making , To introduce new features , The team needs to compile a large number of software packages ; ineluctable , Du Yiwei and his team have encountered many problems . And by taking these questions as issue Form feedback to the community , Submit again PR To solve the ,NestOS It's going pretty well . also ,NestOS In the process of continuous version update, a certain number of software packages must be maintained , And these packages support multiple SIG The development work of the group . thus ,NestOS And openEuler Formed a set of “ From ecology 、 Go to the ecology ” The positive cycle of .

Although participating openEuler The community is only in its early years , But Du Yiwei has participated in a lot of work ; He and his team not only through NestOS The project maintains a large number of software packages , It has become an active promoter of the evolution of the new version of Euler . And in many offline activities , Du Yiwei shared his own technical ideas and development experience for teachers and students of many colleges and universities and developers . stay 2021 In the Kunpeng application innovation competition held in , Du Yiwei won openEuler Track best code Award . Of course , In addition to rich work experience 、 Spotlight and honor , Du Yiwei has gained valuable cooperation experience in open source projects and a large amount of technology accumulation .

obviously , Du Yiwei is openEuler What is gained in the community is other Linux What the open source community cannot provide , Or even if it can be provided “ The quota is extremely limited ” Of . This is a openEuler The reason why it can attract a large number of new and old developers and ecological partners , But also openEuler Be able to finish quickly from 0 To 1 The key to development .

openEuler, Why is it fascinating

Linux Since its birth, it has experienced 30 For many years , This is older than many developers 、 Earlier than many enterprise users . In the ever-changing digital age , This magnificent history of open source has long turned into dust , Diffuse in all kinds of articles 、 Biographies and memories . But fortunately, , This spirit of open source still exists , Users and developers are interested in Linux Your enthusiasm still exists . therefore , After missing countless classic releases , Developers and users in the new era have ushered in a new era openEuler.

Based on new technology 、 New architecture 、 New ideas ,openEuler The underlying technology is advanced enough , The operation mode is open enough , The future it portrays is also wonderful enough . also , In this new project 、 In a new community , Open source culture is still shining , The door to participation is always open . The new generation of developers can still be as enthusiastic as their predecessors 、 Patience and confidence start a new journey together , A harvest belongs to the contemporary 、 A legend for the future .

As Du Yiwei said , stay openEuler among , Have the technology 、 Yes idea, You are the main character ！
