On December 28, OpenGauss Summit 2023 was held in Beijing with the theme of "Gathering the Power of Database Innovation and Building the Data Cornerstone of Thousands of Industries". At the meeting, Hu Zhengce, chairman of the OpenGauss Community Council, delivered a keynote speech on "Gathering the Power of Database Innovation to Build the Data Cornerstone of Thousands of Industries", he said: OpenGauss has been applied to the core scenarios of ten key industries on a large scale, and the new market share of offline centralized will reach 21 in 20239%, crossing the ecological inflection point, from the expansion period to the rapid development period! 
Hu Zhengce, Chairman of the OpenGauss Community Council.
The following is the full text of the speechThe more than three years of openGauss open source have been three years of overcoming obstacles and making magnificent waves, and we need to thank every developer who has contributed to the OpenGauss community!
The number of community enterprises has increased by 100 times, the number of open source contributors has increased by 50 times, the number of versions has increased by 38 times, and the number of open source has increased by 16 times, from 1.3 million lines of open source in June of the first 20 years to 21 million lines. According to the Gitee platform index, OpenGauss has become the most active open source database root community in China.
With participation and contribution, the community has gathered a large number of innovative forces in the industrial chain in the five directions of kernel, datapod, datakit, ecological compatibility, and cloud native. On the one hand, it continues to invest in core competitiveness, and on the other hand, it realizes the innovation of DataPod and DataKit, which are hierarchical decoupling and resource pooling, leading the development direction of database technology. At the same time, it has also achieved good results in the direction of ecological compatibility and cloud native.
Thanks to the co-construction, sharing and co-governance of the industrial chain, OpenGauss has made great progress in the four directions of industry, ecology, technology and businessOpenGauss has been applied to the core scenarios of ten key industries on a large scale, and the new market share of offline centralized will reach 21 in 20239%, crossing the ecological inflection point, from the expansion period to the rapid development period!
In the era of digital intelligence, databases need to be faster, stronger, and smarter. The acceleration of digital intelligence in the industry has brought about rapid growth in data scale, especially the exponential growth of unstructured data. The database should support multi-mode data types and multi-form deployment; It is necessary not only to support general computing power, but also to support diversified intelligent computing power, so as to achieve integrated scheduling of computing power; At the same time, through systematic architecture innovation, the efficient processing of high-dimensional data is realized. As AI applications reach a singularity, large models gradually penetrate into the core production system from auxiliary applications. The vertical domain knowledge and incremental knowledge of enterprises need to be efficiently stored in a vectorized way, so as to solve the data privacy and knowledge update problems when large models are applied. As a key enabler and accelerator, the database will become the super brain of large models. 
opengauss asOpen-source database for digital infrastructureMulti-mode polymorphism, computing power fusion, and resource poolingIt is the key direction of our efforts.
Review of the development process of OpenGauss, OpenGauss 30 supports multi-mode, polymorphism and multi-scenario, opengauss 31 supports HTAP, eventually OpenGauss 50 created two innovative architectures: DataPod and DataKit;
OpenGauss 5Version 1 supports large-scale data management capabilities, supports storage scale of more than 100 tons for the production core system of large enterprises, and supports transparent multi-write.
After the launch of the DataPod resource pooling architecture, it has penetrated into the application scenarios of key financial services, and has been supported and praised by customers in the financial industry, and has been awarded as a technological innovation projectTop 10 Topics of the Fintech Industry Alliance in 2023".
In order to better adapt to the requirements of financial application specifications,The community has joined hands with leading bank customers and key partners to create a financial version of OpenGauss Fintech suitable for the financial industry, which is our first industry version, officially released today!
We hope that this financial version can help more financial users to build databases in the process of digital transformation.
Now, the financial version is available in the OpenGauss community**, and you are welcome to use it in the "Finance Zone"**.
OpenGauss will further upgrade the architecture capabilities, and DataPod natively supports multi-machine parallel analysis to improve the performance of complex queries. It supports synchronous log replication based on storage hardware, implements disaster recovery of dual clusters in the same city, and achieves high availability of financial-grade clusters.
At the same time, DataKit will also optimize the installation of database clusters, support smoother database migration, and support fault diagnosis based on expert knowledge base.
The other is the continuous upgrade of the kernel, we proposed the concept of DB for AI and AI for DB three years ago, and the community has been continuously innovating in this direction.
On the db for AI side, starting with 2After several versions of evolution, we have upgraded with our partners to support the vector engine, which means that OpenGauss has been upgraded from simply supporting machine learning applications to supporting large model applications.
In terms of ai for db, from opengauss 1Version 0 supports dbmind, up to 3Version 1 supports ABO optimizer, and in the future, it will integrate large models and DataKit plug-in architectures to upgrade from "GUI operation" to "natural language interaction", and evolve from "automatic solution of single-point problems" to "autonomous solution of systemic problems".
It is precisely because OpenGauss maintains a surging innovation momentum and supports the ecosystem to leapfrog from the expansion period to the rapid development period, which is inseparable from the joint participation of the industry on the one hand, and the guidance and careful guidance of academicians and experts on the other hand.
OpenGauss has entered a new stage of historical development, and the open governance structure of the community must also be upgraded.
Today, we have officially established the OpenGuass Community Advisory Board to guide the community forward.
On the one hand, the advisory committee will put forward guidance for the future development of the OpenGauss community according to the development trend of science and technology and social development.
On the other hand, the advisory committee attends the community council as needed to give authoritative opinions, which serves as an important reference for the council to decide on the key development direction of the community.
We sincerely hope that more academicians, experts and scholars will join the Advisory Board in the future.
At present, OpenGauss has 12 distribution partners, 8 OGSP partners, and 4 all-in-one partners, effectively supporting the digital transformation of thousands of industries.
Development depends on innovation, and innovation depends on talents. "The only way to innovate is to win people. From the 2021 Smart Base Plan, to the 2022 Industry-Education Integration Education Base, to the Huawei ICT Academy, in order to enable colleges and universities to better integrate basic software technology into their teaching systems, the community and universities across the country have further launched the "Basic Software 100 Schools Seed Plan", bringing OpenGauss expertise to more than 300 colleges and universities, and cultivating more than 500 high-quality teachers and 40,000+ technical talents.
From the industry, to education, and then from education, to the industry, the development of talent ecology will continue to bring productivity to the ecology and business.
Gather the power of database innovation to create the data cornerstone of thousands of industriesWelcome everyone to build OpenGauss together, let's create the future together in the next three years!
