"Hacker and Open Source" · "Open Source Book · Co-reading" at the Developer Ecosystem Conference

A book is a carrier for elaborating knowledge in a way of accumulation of words. If a book is not read, it is a nihilistic existence, meaningless to the author, but reading it will activate the book again, and the reader is The extension of the author, the reader then stands on the shoulders of the author to recreate. This is the meaning of reading. Of course, readers need to be based on a lot of communication: communicating with the author, with readers, and readers.

Why does open source need to read?

This is a rather curious question. Obviously, most of the people involved in open source are developers and engineers. After all, this is the core force of software production. What can explain the problem better than the source code itself?

When software plays a role in this human world, open source is more than just a developer’s business. It is already a part of this world and can no longer be parted:

• The huge development plan and the work that is difficult to count must be an engineering problem
• Division of labor will result in the distribution of benefits and conflict resolution, which will also be a political issue
• A large number of people are effectively organizing, activities, and communication, which is also a social problem
• Because it is a technology that can solve the world’s problems, it must also be an economic problem
• Because of its uniqueness, it will also attract people's attention, and this is even more a topic, the target of the media.
• …….

And all of this needs to be accumulated into knowledge in order to allow more people to participate in the standby update. Then this must not be done in one way. Among them, the writing and interpretation of books, like all other human knowledge, has become the main way of learning.

If it is only a specific computer science and technology problem, then just read the corresponding countless projects and software and books in related fields! As far as open source books are concerned, there are very few authors, so we need to integrate and explore. It also needs everyone to do it in an open source way! So the "Book of Open Source · Common Reading" has its own meaning.

The following are the books that have been read in "Books of Open Source · Common Reading" and the books that are strongly related to the above-mentioned knowledge of open source:

There is no doubt that this book list will continue to grow, because open source is constantly expanding its reach.

What is the core of open source?

This is a very fascinating question! It is also a problem that confuses many people. However, this question is the same as the truth question in the world. For example, what factors can make people succeed? What can make people achieve the peak?

Open source has been asked by countless people since its inception! Of course there are variants of this question: Why do people do this without being paid? What are the motivations or incentives of these people? What is even more incredible is that they are not worried about Wudou Mi?

Perhaps it is a common question. The answer to this question has been continuously enriched with the development of history:

• Idealism
• Technology first
• Communitarianism
• Gift culture
• Hacker culture
• Business strategy
• …….

It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom, a colorful interpretation. As the so-called different perspectives, different content can be obtained. Practitioners in it will find and understand from books, and then interpret them in light of their own circumstances.

For example, Mr. Zhuang Biaowei, the chairman of the Kaiyuan Society, has recently been obsessed with the anthropological interpretation of open source:

Thinking based on classic works such as "The Cathedral and the Fair" and "The Gift" and its own open source practice! Go back to the source of anthropology-related works, understand the view of "gifts" in the field of anthropology, and look back at the open source community's understanding of gifts.

Mr. Gong Yi, who has been in the commercialization of open source for decades, describes the hacker culture he has been obsessed with since he was a child:

Hacker stories and hacker culture are what fascinates me most in the process of researching the history of free/open source software, but whether this legendary spirit can bring some to the survival and development of individuals in this increasingly networked society Positive influence and inspiration? After participating in Wei Sir’s reading sharing activity last year, I had an unexpected impulse to study "Hacker Ethics". The hacker spirit advocates working with passion and not being enslaved by making money. I want to simply describe this freedom as How can individuals have the freedom to "do what they want to do and not do what they don't want to do"! In a peaceful age where economic development is the mainstay, individuals cannot avoid the pursuit of "wealth." Should they be forced to lose freedom in order to achieve "freedom of wealth", or is freedom inherently more valuable than wealth? I want to take this to arouse everyone's thinking and even practice.

As well as guests with other views on the scene. As an indispensable discussion link for co-reading, there are more diverse and different perspectives on the understanding of open source. If you visit the scene in person, you will definitely be tempted to express yourself and question the perspective of others. Then the argument is what we want to happen!

2021.6.5 The Developer Ecosystem Summit China initiated by SegmentFault was held at the Sheraton Jinyu Hotel, No. 36, Beisanhuan East Road, Beijing, and specifically sponsored the Meetup of the "Book of Open Source · Reading Together". That is the main content. Of course, the more exciting part is your participation! No participation will always be just a bystander! I look forward to your coming, and feel the knowledge and ideas of open source together with us, as well as the exciting expressions of words.

Compared with online co-reading activities, "Open Source Book · Co-Reading" Meetup aims to allow book lovers who describe and explain open source to build trust, face-to-face communication and sharing, and provide a higher-quality learning feedback channel. It is also an important practice for the construction and maintenance of an open source community. It is expected to build a spiritual home for thinking for colleagues who are interested in doing the work of open source.

Since July 2020, unless the epidemic does not allow it, it has basically maintained the rhythm of one once a month. Beijing is mostly, and Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places have successively participated in open source practitioners and interested parties.

On June 5, 2021, the first China Developer Ecological Summit will be held at the Sheraton Beijing Jinyu Hotel! from international technology giants, cloud computing leaders, high-growth companies, open source foundations, and technology communities will bring you unique thinking and practice on developer ecology.
