Apsara stack announced on September March 18 that Google launched a website named "Google Code" (code.google.com) to closely interact with external software developers ), google source code is provided free of charge to external developers and a forum is provided on this website.
Google disclosed on Thursday that the website has been in development for six months and will expand its scale. Chris DiBona, Google open-source software program manager, said: "We have obtained a lot of software from the open-source software group. Therefore, we believe that we should communicate more closely with open-source software developers ."
DiBona joined Google eight months ago. Many of Google's members are from open-source software groups, he said. This is one of the reasons for taking this measure and one of the reasons for my work at Google.
This website aims to provide open-source software groups with tools and software developed and used internally by Google, as well as useful code by external developers. Google is expected to get feedback from developers on How to Improve the source code published on the website.
DiBona said that because the Code provided by Google contains links to open programming interfaces of Google, the purpose of this website is not to allow external developers to write applications that expand Google's functions, instead, it provides some software tools. The code is released to help people develop. (End)
