Haigo: What does open source bring to the author (ii) The return of Beijing Yuan Chong

November 23, 2014 I went to the open source China held the OSC Beijing source, after coming back, there are a few sentiment, hope to share out, writing is their own sentiment, programmer crisp, not too many adjectives, you veteran students, uncomfortable, turn to throw a light point.

         start, by the Open source China CEO Lao Ma on stage to share the open source development process and open source China some experience and sentiment, then Ka (Dick) Bing (Silk) questions, I remember a classmate said, "Open source China has been doing some open source, feedback to developers, how to profit?" "Yes, I have witnessed the development of Oschina, from a personal website that collects open source software, to the company's operations, and then to the developer benefits, [email protected], [email protected], [ Email protected], [email protected], and  @ sweet potato   After the exchange found that there are big features to be launched, even to the programmer to find the object ... However, these are free, even open source ... This includes a large number of open source China's clients, RUNJS and other products.

So, how is open source China profitable? This depends on the old horse and @ sweet potato to answer. But as an entrepreneur (home furniture, furniture), an open source software afinal author, open source more than two years of time, I witnessed a lot, I think I can tell you what the source can bring to the author or company.

In fact, in the previous period, I have written a "open source can be brought to the author of what" article, thanks to the support of the brothers, no one threw bricks, the website is: http://www.oschina.net/question/111634_178007, in this article, I refer mainly to what I personally get from the material and spiritual.

From my personal point of view, because wrote Afinal, after leaving the music net, because the personal resume written on the Android rapid development Framework Afinal author, I easily get a lot of company interview opportunities, can say, there is no worry about looking for work, and, My personal salary is also more than the previous hard to work overtime colleagues higher than at least 5K above, in fact, I am not smarter than them, just because I open source afinal, share my value, there are more people know me, know me. Because more people know me and I know me, I have more opportunities to show myself, and they have no chance to show their own.

Similarly, in order to exchange Afinal and Android technology, I set up two QQ group, two QQ group came in and out of, two years of time, conservative estimate million people, now in the QQ group exchange more than 3,000 people. This does not matter, mainly inadvertently got a lot of reverse telecommuting dry, and I personally choose high prices, less time, easier to live, do not want to do the direct transfer to others, can also earn the middle of the difference.

As a dick wire programmer, these are naked money to obtain, in fact, the development of the afinal, is nothing more than the problems I encountered in the work summed down, and I am quite working experience of the classmates a pile of, and I shared out, others did not. In QQ group, my nickname is Michael, a lot of people call me Michael God, actually want to laugh, than I am a man is too much, but, this society is so, you understand people don't necessarily understand, you know things, there is a bunch of people do not know, the new person is always more than experienced people. You don't share it, who will know you? And the reality is that when you share something that helps new people, they will be grateful to you, and the more you share, the more you will get.

From the music network after leaving, to the new company, because it is the technical leader, the company's technical recruitment of people are responsible for me, and then surprised to find that many of the students to interview know that I am the author of Afinal, are very willing to stay, including many sister. Then in open source China posted the recruitment information (URL: http://www.oschina.net/job/detail/111634_8953), there are very many people expressed interest, and got a large number of resumes. This, is not calculate the open source brought to me?

Because wrote an open source software, then met a lot of Daniel, including sweet potatoes, Daniel and introduced Daniel to me know, there is a lot of Daniel network resources, and sweet potatoes, know more than I, Daniel, if these Daniel to tidy up, is how good thing, you say, can put so many cattle people together, how to profit , do you need to think about it?

And what we can see is, in Beijing thousands of people in the OSC source, such a large venue, others free to the OSC, there are a lot of sponsors, you say how to profit? Open source China is doing an open-source thing, a thing that does not charge money, how many people can see its behind the integration of the powerful resources, the integration of resources, is the best thing.

At the source of the founding, Lao Ma mentioned such a sentence, I personally express the very endorsement, probably means: "When you are free to use other people's products, you are already someone else's goods." Think about it, there are cases everywhere. Old horse gave an example: now there are many bars, ladies free, free of charge is to attract men to spend, unknowingly, the lady has actually acted as a bar product. It makes me think that the source will be a lady for free. @ Sweet potato don't hit me ....

To give a practical case, in open source China, there is a project management software, open source, called Zen Road, URL Http://www.oschina.net/p/zentaopms, I believe there are many people using this software to do project management, including myself, really good, and free open source, but what we do not know is that when we use this open source software, inadvertently is already the customer witness of this software. Zen Road has a large number of customer testimonials, the introduction of commercial version, but also worry about selling it? Open source free is so easy to use, not to mention the commercial version of it?

And, say again, what can open source bring? For me personally, open source has brought me wage growth, outsourced income, reputation, knowledge of more connections, the integration of resources, recruitment has become easier ... For the company, has been a large number of customer testimonials, has been affirmed by the user, to help others ... These, if from a business perspective, is not the naked profit?

We are talking about something tall, some ideal thing in life, if the meaning of open source is to share, to share the knowledge and value of it technology. So the meaning of life is not the same? Is the meaning of life not just sharing?

Konzo not because of sharing their knowledge and through the ages? Rational to think, at that time than Confucius and Lao Tzu is certainly a man. 360 is not because of sharing its anti-virus software and Excel? There were more than 360 of companies. Baidu at the beginning of the time is actually a technical service company, to provide Sina Sohu search technology services, not because of the sharing of its search technology in the public, the rapid development of it? And, at that time than Baidu a few. I, not also because in sharing the present you are reading this article, let everybody know me, know my mu Jia furniture? Isn't that what it means to share? Recently compared to the fire of the film "Super Body", although said to be sci-fi film, but also confirmed the meaning of life is to share.

In this world, each person's experience is different, the individual viewpoint and the value also are not identical. But as long as we share our views and values, the more we share, the more we will get! Different industries, although the sharing of things may be different, but as a developer, we can share the most direct things and the way is not open source?

If you say you are still a novice, then you should not forward this article, to call on more friends to participate in the open source of the tide?
