What is the establishment of the Linux Open source Ecosystem alliance?

Recently, the theme of "Open source reconstruction World Development Change the future," the Linux Open Source Ecosystem Alliance Developers Conference held in Beijing. At the meeting, Csdn teamed up with IBM and a number of enterprises from both domestic and foreign open source fields to launch the Linux open Source Ecosystem Alliance. It is reported that the alliance will be based on power technology to provide developers with a leading open source development environment, and joint ISV, open source technology community, enterprise users and VC companies and other alliance members to promote the development of the open source technology industry.

in front of a lot of IBM's contribution to open source, the following specifically about the establishment of the Linux Open Source Ecosystem Alliance is why? Simply put, IBM has built an IBM PowerLinux-based platform with IBM and its partners to provide the latest technologies and devices that users can use to develop software and applications based on this platform. As for the benefits, for IBM, to improve the ecosystem, enrich the solution, at the minimum cost (no need to purchase equipment, you can use the most advanced products, technology) to expand the scope of the product. Of course, in addition, there is a benefit is the formation of an alliance, with a mutual communication mechanism, originally you find a person communication may be difficult, and now you can easily find a group of people to communicate, which is in fact the current league prevalence of important reasons.

Li Hong said:" POWER8-based Linux server with high compatibility, can provide developers with a very high degree of flexibility of choice. Not only are script classes or interpreted languages such as Java, PHP, and Perl run directly on power, more than 95% of Linux applications written in the C and C + + languages can run on power without the need to change the original code and only need to re-edit it. This high level of compatibility allows developers the flexibility to migrate from x86 to power, enabling easy technology innovation and performance improvement on a power-enabled open-source platform. " 

The Linux open Source Ecosystem Alliance will open up to ISVs and developers to help ISVs and developers accelerate their innovation process in a specific way. Supervessel Cloud Platform and the Geek Zone experience community. Among them, Supervessel is a power technology-based cloud Platform co-founded by IBM China Research Institute and IBM China System Center. Developers can access open source software in several of Supervessel's online labs and create and test many emerging applications. In the Geek Zone experience community, where open source tools and services such as Linux, MongoDB, Redis, and Docker are integrated, developers will be able to apply for a Linux development environment supported by power, where Linux applications are developed, built, migrated, and tested.  

Talking about the future focus of the Linux open Source Ecosystem Alliance, Li Hong said, from our professional point of view, there are three main directions, one is enterprise-class users of big data and cloud platform needs, how to play power advantage, That must be our focus, the second is the application of cloud platform, and the high-performance computing. Although the focus is three aspects, but Li Hong also added that open source is an open environment, we have a variety of applications can actually be migrated up, so as to jointly promote the development of the biosphere.
