openGauss gathers innovative forces to promote the leapfrog development of databases

[Beijing, China, December 28, 2021] Today, the openGauss summit 2021, with the theme of "Gathering Database Innovation Power to Pursue Dreams in the Digital Age, Stars and Seas", was held simultaneously online and offline in Beijing. At the conference site, the openGauss open source community council and technical committee were upgraded, the openGauss community subcommittee was formally established, China Telecom released the industry's first cloud-native relational database TeleDB for openGauss, and China Unicom launched openGauss-based independent database innovation (CUDB).

Under the guidance of the China Software Industry Association and the Database Professional Committee of the China Computer Society, this summit is hosted by the openGauss open source community, Huawei, China Mobile, China Telecom Tianyi Cloud, China Unicom, China Merchants Bank, Huaxia Bank, CCB Jinke, Massive The annual open source jointly organized by Data, Shenzhou General, Yunhe Enmo, Xugu Weiye, Sangfor, Beijing SuperMap, Nanda General, Bairui Data, Youxuan Technology, AsiaInfo, Xingruige, Fast Cube and Sun Tower Technology, etc. Database technology event. The conference aims to promote the development of the database industry with the industry through cooperation in technological innovation, ecological construction, commercial promotion, open source construction, and talent development.

As the basic software for data management, the database has a more prominent strategic and fundamental position in the era of digital economy, and it is a solid foundation for digital infrastructure. Liao Xiangke, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the development of the database requires a culture and mechanism that can aggregate multiple parties in the industry chain and jointly invest for a long time; it requires the demonstration and leadership role of leading companies, opens the software source code, and continues to contribute; it requires in-depth cooperation between industry, university, research and application. To continue to innovate in the cooperation model, database application units should also provide valuable "true" needs and "true" scenarios to promote the leap-forward development of the database field.

Gao Hong, deputy director of the database professional committee of the Chinese Computer Society and professor of Harbin Institute of Technology, said that the database is the data base of the digital age, multi-disciplinary and highly complex. OpenGauss takes open source as the link and collaborative innovation as the starting point. Through "production, learning, research, and use", we consolidate basic research, accelerate talent training, and realize the close integration of technological innovation and market applications, and jointly create a database belonging to the times.

openGauss has received strong support from all walks of life since its open source on June 30, 2020, attracting 100 core companies in the industry chain to join, covering government, finance, operators, energy, manufacturing and other industries; developing 20 SIG special interest groups; More than 2500 developers participated in technical contributions; more than 500,000 downloads worldwide, in 558 cities in 81 countries around the world. openGauss adheres to the concept of co-construction, sharing, and co-governance, and works with companies, partners, and developers to build the most innovative open source community. With the increasing prosperity of the open source community, the openGauss community has been fully upgraded:

• openGauss open source community council upgrade. In September 2021, the first batch of 18 units including China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, China Merchants Bank, Postal Savings Bank of China, and Tsinghua University established the openGauss community council. In this conference, the openGauss Community Council will add two members: CNOOC and Super Fusion Digital Technology Co., Ltd. The community council members cover database vendors, enterprise users, universities, scientific research institutes, etc., focusing on basic database research, technological innovation and industry application scenarios, and jointly promoting the development of the database industry.
  

• openGauss open source community technical committee upgrade. Technical Committee, as the technical leadership of the open source community, decides on the technical development direction of the community. At this conference, 16 database technical experts from 7 companies including Huawei, Mass Data, Cloud and Enmo, Shenzhou General, Beijing SuperMap, Minsheng Bank, and China Merchants Bank jointly formed a new technical committee and joined all members of the community. Carry out technological innovation in the fields of kernel, security, AI, cloud native, etc., and continue to build openGauss' technological competitiveness.

• openGauss Community Subcommittee was formally established . Focusing on database technology, the openGauss Community Subcommittee aims to build a platform for college teachers and students, promote colleges and universities to enter the open source community, and promote the integration of industry and research, and the integration of industry and education. University developers can learn, practice, and contribute in the openGauss community, accelerate their growth into database industry talents, and contribute wisdom and strength to database technology innovation.

The openGauss community subcommittee is led by the openGauss community, operated by the Kunpeng & Euler Ecological Innovation Center, and is jointly built with partners in the database industry chain. Committed to integrating openGauss into university education reform and innovation, helping college students complete their graduation projects based on openGauss, and completing online internship projects in the openGauss community; providing openGauss technical training empowerment, organizing open source technology seminars, recommending openGauss smart projects; providing openGauss series of tracks Technical counseling, etc. The first co-construction units of the openGauss community subcommittee include Huawei, Mass Data, Cloud and Enmo, and Shenzhou General. More partners are welcome to join in the future.

Technological innovation is the driving force for the continued vitality of the openGauss community. Changjiang Dayong, director of the openGauss community, said that the openGauss open source database is committed to providing safe, stable, efficient, and intelligent data management capabilities for digital infrastructure to accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises. openGauss is a technological innovation platform that continues to build the most innovative database open source community and build a prosperous ecosystem.

The openGauss community is an incubator of technological innovation. At this conference, China Telecom released the industry's first cloud-native relational database TeleDB for openGauss. The two parties have been cooperating since March this year, focusing on openGauss containerization, cloud autonomy, cloud security and ecological compatibility. This version has the advantages of high compatibility, high security, and easy operation and maintenance. It has been launched on the Inner Mongolia resource pool test platform and is running Stable, the performance improvement effect is obvious. In addition, China Unicom launched openGauss-based independent database innovation (CUDB), and China Mobile is implementing an OLTP database joint innovation project.

Tsinghua University, Peking University, Mass Data, Cloud and Enmo, Shenzhou General Motors, China Merchants Bank, Huaxia Bank, Beijing SuperMap and other scientific and technological forces in production, learning, research, and use are or will be launched in the openGauss community for storage engines and containers Technological innovations in the areas of integration, time series databases, graph databases, database security, database migration, etc., have further promoted the development of the database industry.
