Open Community, Open Strategy
Beijing, China.—June 18, 2008 Today from the Ministry of Information Industry and the State Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Science and Technology, organised by the Beijing Municipal People's Government, the Chinese software industry associations create software Branch, solar system (China) Co., Ltd. in association with the "build Eco-system software together help open platform "forum held in Beijing. Huihoo the open source community under the co-founder of Peter Cheng spoke Record:
Huihoo the open source community co-founder of Peter Cheng: Today I talk about this part of a simple, I have in the past been involved in some of the open source community understand how to truly help companies adopt open-source technologies and products.
I start from 2001 to the open source community Huihoo, 2004 came to Beijing, in various forums, open source technology to do the research and exchanges, and we will continue to do some inter-community interaction activities Open Source Camp. Today, I still talk about how the focus on helping enterprises to adopt open-source kind of technology.
Now the plan inside, you will see a lot of open source software participants, individuals, communities and enterprises in this inside the participation of everyone through constant communication and to form a complete ecosystem, we will see the inside of various All sorts of different roles. At the same time there are many commercial companies gradually some of their original strategy into the strategy of raising revenue, more revenue is the commitment to the user to produce better software.
I often ask customers, particularly in China, more revenue for the understanding of the use of free, rather than genuine boost to use. In China's concern on the market in the end, what does » I visited many companies and customers, when they buy a software, the first is to stabilize the operation, if the instability may lead to bad management accountable. The second and stable operation of the future must be better performance, so you get a better return. The third is to see whether there is a corresponding skills with the talent, and these people need training in the time-consuming. The last to care about the issue of cost, in the end the software how much money be spent on investment, so the final price is a problem. When we used to make open-source inside the enterprise, we often referred to some problems, an open source project and the final forming of the gap between the products, bought today is not tomorrow can be used » Open-source software is not also have to assess the way » Have your own company with open-source software and technical talents to better use the software. Your investment in the open-source software, how to calculate your return on investment, and so on, and you will care about the business support services, these are all you need to consider the issue.
The real inside large enterprises, we feel that if we use good open-source software, the need to develop a strategy, including Bank of America to set up a special department to do the overall assessment, we participate in the open-source and the application of open source to provide services for customers , Summed up some of our experience, a real business, if you should be an open-source software, whether from the community to an open-source or from a certain product makers get put into use, have to go through four A process. First, the product itself to be evaluated. Second, depends on whether the company's technical staff have the appropriate skills. Third, the legal departments of the software the legal risk assessments. Finally, as a high-level strategy departments, needs assessment so I bought a software, the input of financial and material resources, how long will the recovery proceeds, after the passage of the four procedures, to enter a business within the enterprise-class open-source software warehouse Lane.
