China News Service, Shanghai, December 19 (Reporter Zheng Yingying) "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 and second-level inspector of the Shanghai Association for Science and Technology, said in Shanghai on the 19th. He said that it is necessary to make people outside the circle realize the value and significance of open source.
On the same day, the 2023 Open Source Industry Ecology Conference was held in Shanghai, bringing together a group of government, enterprise and academic figures to discuss the importance of open source in the digital era and how open source can "break the circle" and "expand the circle".
Ge Dongbo, chief engineer of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, pointed out at the meeting that in recent years, China has made positive contributions to the construction of the global open source ecosystem, and the commercial value of open source has gradually been recognized in the Chinese market. Shanghai will actively participate in the construction of the international open source community and promote in-depth cooperation and exchanges between Shanghai and the global open source industry.
Chen Qiyan, founder and CEO of Daoke, said that some companies see the open source community as a "playground without tickets", but most companies that only "copy" are difficult to "go" far, because iteration is the core value of software.
People in the open source world have long figured out this logic. It's not that everyone is an idealist and throws ** into the open source community, but everyone has figured out that ** (itself) has no value, and only more smart people work together to update**, which is the source of value of the underlying technology. He said.
At the same time, he also pointed out that in the existing system architecture, industry interest groups are solidified, and many innovative technologies at the source are difficult to survive and "die" on the beach earlyThe open source community provides a fertile ground for technological growth, and has allowed China to quickly break through many barriers to information technology in the past decade. He believes that despite the challenges and difficulties, China should actively integrate into the world's open source "feast".
An open ecosystem is more conducive to evolutionary reliability. Wang Xu, vice chairman of Ant Group's open source technical committee, said. He gave the example of the Galapagos Islands, which are far from land and have evolved very "specific", where the organisms that live on them adapt well to their environment, but when there is climate change or if they move to other places, they will not survive. Wang Xu believes that in the field of technology, too, open flow is an accelerator for the "evolution" of technology.
According to Gong Ti, President of Huawei's Device BG Software Dept., in the new era, it is becoming more and more difficult to rely on a technology or a company to produce a disruptive innovation if a closed development model is adopted, and the open source and open innovation model is the only way to move towards the era of intelligent connection of all things.
He Baohong, director of the Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, pointed out that a generation has a generation's industrial ecology, and in the face of the new technological environment, open source is no longer limited to open software.
When we write programs with AIGC, how do we define open source?"Can AI-generated ** enter the open source community?He pointed out that these are new questions that have emerged and need to be answered by the industry. (ENDS).
