Open source is action, not heartbeat.

See Li Anshi wrote an article on the Internet, the name is "the great open source and China has nothing to do", in the article, Li Anshi analysis, in the current China in the manufacturing industry in pursuit of the pace of Europe and the United States, Tesla's patent open source is in fact just Tesla's propaganda means, Core technology is not going to make it easy for you to use. The backwardness of China in manufacturing is well known, but how can we change the status quo? Only by strengthening their ability, open source will not become empty slogan!

Here's what Li Anshi in the interview:

Open source software development is more bumpy, if there is no interest in the promotion, there is no enthusiasm, open source can only be a noun in everyone's mouth. Personally feel that open source is a quality of performance, with the world, open source is not yet glorious!

What's the job now? Is it related to open source software?

I am currently studying the chemical industry, the specific work done and open source is not a big relationship. The main reason to focus on the internet is that some things are often used, for example how can the normal Internet, after all, sometimes still need to Google academic, but also pay attention to some fun and interesting things, some small blog, and so on, before doing their own blog to make a space, buy domain name, for me this a usually very few job people , or too much trouble. But similar to the Farbox and other small innovations appear, just want to write articles in Dropbox automatically posted to the blog, this is very cool to me. I am concerned about the Internet is mainly concerned about the Internet's tool properties, human since the Internet, the development of much faster, in essence, because the Internet is a very strong tool attributes of things.

What aspects of the Internet are more likely to be concerned with at ordinary times? Have you done any small programs?

As for programming, the engineering party, the data will sometimes Python pretreatment of data, screening the initial data, but the most core data processing is also a special software, which is also an open source dilemma, very professional things tend to develop more trouble, and are dedicated to, the expansion of bad, The use of the number is not much, to get one out, maybe a few people across the country to use, take my chemical this aspect, want to engage in the chemical field can deal with open source software, both need to be very familiar with programming, but also need to a certain field of chemistry is very proficient, very difficult, and painstaking effort to get out, The people who use very few very few, the feedback person is less, therefore said that is powerless, this is very bad, is also a blow to the maintenance person.

At present, I am familiar with the open source software in their respective areas are a considerable number of users, otherwise no one uses, open source, meaning is not very big.

How to meet open source?

I first know the concept of open source because I have been accustomed to the browser is Firefox, and Firefox is just what I learned is open source software, very interesting thing is that my birthday and Firefox was born November 9. So, for the retina effect, often, I focused on Open-source software and applied to Mozilia, the Chinese Firefox campus ambassador. From that time on really to understand what is open source software.

In the third Saturday of September, there is a free software day, as the campus ambassador, Firefox has been involved in this matter, I have applied for some materials in Harbin, organized some activities, know a lot of attention to open source software friends, slowly understand more. In the beginning, it was simply learning some languages like Python, HTML, and PHP. Although the study is a chemical major, but job enthusiasm is still there.

Personal understanding of open source?

In my superficial understanding, there are quite a lot of open source software development path is very bumpy, from the OpenSSL development process, many open source software developers Economic situation is very embarrassed, OpenSSL in the internet is so important, but before how many people know it is important? It is only because of the emergence of "Heartbleed" security vulnerabilities before the attention. About the old Luo to OpenSSL donation thing, although I thought the old Luo this thing to do is very good, also makes "the old Luo sentiment" in this profession to be encouraged. But after all, people who really care about open source and the environment are very few. And said that a donation to the OpenSSL, but only to say that the pen, there are not many entrepreneurial feelings. More Open-source software is still in dire straits. It is conceivable that those small, less important open source software development process to rely on how much perseverance and courage to maintain ah! The world is pretty fucked up, because from a human perspective, open source software survival is necessarily difficult, no interest there is no power, Firefox and Google before the cooperation of that called a good, but the Chrome browser appears, the situation is different.

On the promotion of chrome, I think from Google in the promotion of chrome can be seen, open source and the big fight, the weakness of open source is more obvious, although Chrome has a lot of advantages than Firefox, but Google on its own home page on the various services to promote their own browser, Whether it is propaganda or all aspects of the support of Google is too big, even if Firefox is as good as chrome, because Mozilia financial support and publicity efforts can not compare with Google. It is very difficult to do a good job of open source software, even if Firefox has a rich Mozlia foundation to do the backing, in maintaining and against other browsers is still so laborious, not to mention those small team to maintain the open source software. Interests are still the most important. Moreover, open source project is actually very difficult, ordinary small projects are everywhere in the GitHub, but to maintain an open source project is to spend a lot of energy. And a good programmer open source and maintain a project can not directly submit code is finished, write documents AH what miscellaneous work will be done, and domestic ... Programmers have to work overtime ... The cost of this time is even greater.

In my opinion, if an open source software can flourish so much that it is booming around the world, the biggest possibility is that the benefits of open source software to someone or a company give him enough incentive to push it.

How to rationally look at open source development?

I don't like to brag too much about open source, in the moral too much, there is no meaning, I think the capitalist may have feelings, such as Larry Page, but the capital is not feelings, I do not believe that ibm,oracle shareholders so good, so generous to the project to open source. Some software companies, open source a project, although not likely to make money in sales, but immediately attracted some of the cool programmer to help him work, which is also a benefit. In my opinion, this is the most reasonable open source, for the World Open source some useful projects, so that more people enjoy the quality of the code, at the same time they also harvested a reputation and reputation of the interests, can be said to be a real win.

There is also an open source, really pure for the world a little better people, I believe many people have this idea, a lot of great open source software is like this, I worship those great programmers, brave to stand up, with their own strength to challenge the closure of the Giants, like a light, lighting another light. However, I think, the symbolic open source project of the company also accounted for a certain proportion; personal open source projects often aborted more, not maintenance of open source projects more Needless to say, countless.

What do programmers around you think about open source?

Although we all respect those efforts of pure personal open source projects, but more like those who can bring benefits to their own open source action, to gain fame or money, more power, do better, perhaps, and more maintenance.

In the past and friends have discussed the topic of open source, I have a lot of programmers friends, I asked them to do a little things on the GitHub? They say they're all working overtime now.

What do you expect from open source?

For the future of open source, I think the prospects for open source software will be very good, but I think the development in China is slow. Now engaged in it, every day to contact open source software, the future is certainly getting better, many software open source so that more people in the building of cars do not need to reinvent the wheel, the promotion of the entire industry is enormous. As for saying, why do I feel very slow in China, I have held a free software day, and then Sina Weibo a lot of people send micro Bo said this thing, because many places have lectures and other topics, the results of my search for free software on Weibo, unexpectedly appeared unable to show, to the second week before recovery, Top a free name can hit a gun, no words at all. But on the whole, I think the open source software is actually very promising, the trend can not be blocked, in my opinion, because it is not because of the great open source, but that open source to the industry will bring a lot of benefits.

Some time ago, our country announced not to buy Windows 8, that security is not guaranteed, I think we can change the open source of Ubuntu, but I think it is basically impossible, with so much windows, so that the grassroots all of a sudden change the use of habits, it is not too easy to do. However, I still look forward to our country if some software such as office procurement to remove, the use of alternative software OpenOffice and so on, this not only to open source business has a huge boost, the key is to save money Ah, the cost of replacement is not small, Familiar with Office civil servants to get acquainted with OpenOffice actually quite fast, for such a large country, this save is definitely not a small sum of money ah, you see, others Vietnamese brothers is so dry, the effect is not bad.
