Wang Yaohua on open source and operating-system ecosystems

Today, at the 18th Open Source China Open Source World Summit Forum, Wang Yaohua, general manager of terminal operating system production line of UnionTech Software and head of deepin community delivered a keynote speech titled "Building a Deep Open Source Community and Jointly Building China's Developer Ecosystem".

Wang Yaohua said , chip card neck is very important, but software card neck is also important. The open source model must be used to take root in basic software so that innovation can continue to occur and business can continue to prosper.

Looking back at the history of software development over the past half century, open source has changed from a niche hobby to a source of vitality for basic software. In the era of basic software, a new development model was born. "Operating system + open source" has become the foundation to support digital intelligence upgrades in all walks of life.

Create China’s most active Desktop operating system open source community

Open source is the main way of cooperation for mankind to promote open innovation. Whether it is the contribution of Chinese open source developers, the growth of the open source community, the improvement of open source governance capabilities, or the further improvement of the open source ecosystem, it shows that "Chinese wisdom" is becoming an important pole of global open source.

"The operating system is the foundation of the software industry, and open source is the core 'component' of the operating system." Wang Yaohua believes that whether the value of open source with high quality, high reliability, and continuous evolution can be exerted is related to The “lifeline” of the entire industry 。

As China's first desktop operating system root community, Deepin is one of the largest, oldest, most active, and best global open source operating system communities in China.

As of now, the deepin community (deepin) has more than 3 million users in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, providing more than 10 million lines of open source code. Thanks to its powerful open source system, deepin has been downloaded nearly 100 million times and supports 34 languages.

Wang Yaohua pointed out that to achieve the development and growth of basic software, the following are Several keys:

★ First, it should be built on open source. Only if it is rooted in the fertile soil of open source, can the product have a soul; ★ Second, it should enrich and improve the basic software system and build a prosperous ecological environment;

★ Finally, based on a shared and shared platform, actively feedback practices to the community in the form of open source software.

Since its establishment, the deepin community (deepin) has always adhered to the concept of "openness, transparency, freedom, sharing, and collaboration", bringing together the wisdom of global developers to jointly participate in the construction of world-class digital infrastructure, and has embarked on a basic software development path that is both in line with international open source rules and has "Chinese characteristics".

According to international authoritative data, deepin has become China’s first global open source operating system Ranking top ten products have won the No. 1 in open source software in China 。

Built for compatibility and security "Linyaps" completely solves the Linux dependency problem

UnionTech software is One of the few companies in the world that implements open source full-stack layout technology companies cover the community layer, desktop layer, server layer, and smart terminal layer.

From building an operating system root community, to in-depth co-building of an internationally renowned open source community, to a complete matrix of open source products and commercial products, there are key self-developed technologies at every level, and there is a lot of feedback between each layer.

"Innovation drives growth, and feedback drives innovation." Wang Yaohua believes that these large amounts of feedback have greatly reduced the difficulty of implementing end-to-end optimization of operating system technology architecture.

Taking Linyaps as an example, recently we have Linyaps project code, Linyaps official website, Linyaps store and other assets are donated to the OpenAtom Foundation.

As a new type of independent package management toolset, Linyaps mainly provides a layered and isolated operating environment to solve the compatibility issues caused by the strong dependence of traditional package management systems and the security issues caused by loose permissions. Currently, Linyaps supports 4 distributions, including deepin, UnionTech UOS, Debian and Ubuntu.

Relying on the isolation technology of Linyaps, applications and systems can be completely decoupled, thereby completely solving problems such as compatibility conflicts caused by upgrades and adaptations between systems and applications, and between applications and applications.

For developers, this can effectively reduce development costs; for customers, it can reduce enterprise operation and maintenance costs; and for the entire industry, it will help the steady development of the industry.

Wang Yaohua finally said that instead of walking alone, it is better to walk together and gather the wisdom and strengths of everyone. The world is entering a new stage of open source. The Deepin community (deepin) will move from participation and integration to leadership, building a distributed, intelligent, and international new generation open source innovation platform for the future, forming a positive cycle and self-accelerating ecological development system.
