I believe this sentence is familiar to everyone, and even the creed of many developers. This is the most famous saying of Linus Torvalds, and when it comes to him, people will immediately think of another word, open source.

In the 1990s, Linus Torvalds released Linux using a free software license, the GNU General Public License, which became the main battlefield of the open source wave at that time. Since then, Linux has gradually become the most popular operating system in the world with the contributions of thousands of developers.

More than two decades later, the industry's discord between open source and business is still unresolved. But the rapid development of open source on a global scale has made it impossible to ignore.

In fact, software development itself is a social and collective intelligence activity. Most software is built based on open source infrastructure and reuses a large number of existing libraries and tools.

Open source is not only the technical belief of programmers, but also the leading model of global software technology and industrial innovation. It is an efficient way to accelerate basic software innovation, strengthen social collaboration, improve efficiency, and expand ecology.

As a developer-centric technology company, Rongyun has always been a participant and contributor to the open source ecosystem since its establishment 8 years ago.

Recently, Rongyun has open sourced several scene-based components , including out-of-the-box UI solutions such as music playback, chat room, voice chat room, live video, voice radio, and audio and video calls.

This is a key move for Rongyun to further serve the industry and give back to the community after Rongyun launched the third-generation scenario-based SDK by encapsulating the best industry practices and changing the old paradigm of industry supply. Looking forward to receiving more feedback from developers to jointly promote the development of the industry.

Open source and collaboration effectively improve productivity in the digital world

Under the strict commercial order of contemporary society, open source retains the original beauty of the Internet spirit - sharing and openness, making information more accessible and free. The driving force of open source itself embodies this idealistic complex of engineers, and also constitutes and represents the open spiritual core of the Internet: I am for everyone, and everyone is for me.

"When you have a better solution to a problem based on your own accumulation, it is inevitable that you want to share it with others." This is the starting point of most engineers who choose open source, and then based on community feedback and user co-construction , to create an active and extensive ecology, promote the rapid and sustainable development of the project, and improve and perfect the project.

After more than 20 years of development, the open source industry has become more and more mature and has entered a period of rapid development. More and more companies have joined open source co-construction.

According to GitHub data, in 2021, GitHub will add more than 16 million new active users and more than 61 million new active code repositories.

In China, the attention to open source is first manifested in the attention of the national strategic level. The "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly states that it supports the development of open source communities and encourages enterprises to open up software source code. Open source has become an important strategy to promote the development of my country's digital economy. The establishment of the Open Atom Open Source Foundation is also a landmark event for the maturity of the domestic open source industry, and open source has ushered in an unprecedented good period.

GitHub data shows that Chinese developers have reached 7.55 million+, ranking second in number.

The most direct significance of open source to software development is to improve productivity. On the one hand, it is to continue to innovate based on the achievements of predecessors, and "don't repeat the creation of the wheel"; on the other hand, it is to jointly promote the development of the field through joint construction.

Under the development tenet of "everything for developers", one of Rongyun's missions is to help developers complete software development and business realization in more, faster, better, and more cost-effective ways. Open source is also a part of Rongyun's engineer culture. In the past 8 years, Rongyun has continuously extracted typical use cases for open source in the process of continuous improvement of IM instant messaging and RTC real-time audio and video technology and leading the industry.

With the development of online entertainment industries such as chat rooms and live broadcasts, Rongyun's communication cloud services have blossomed in social, pan-entertainment, games and other fields, and have continuously accumulated experience in vertical industries. In the process of serving developers, Rongyun extracted the best practices and launched the third-generation scenario-based SDK, which supports developers to develop applications such as chat rooms, live broadcasts, and audio and video calls out of the box.

Under the epidemic, the pan-entertainment social market demand is unprecedented, and a large number of related industry software developers have appeared in the market, and they need more skills, use cases and tools.

Rongyun will gradually open source a full set of systematic components with embedded business logic, which will avoid the repeated development of some common components by developers. Developers who need to solve similar problems can use it directly, so that they can focus on other more valuable and creative direction.

In a digital world built by software, open source is an effective collaborative way to increase the collective productivity of mankind. In the future, Rongyun Scenario will also open source core components such as gifts and wheat position management, and continue to contribute its mature solutions in specific fields to the industry, expand the application fields of technology, and contribute to external needs while allowing its own technology to be used in more With the feedback of use cases, it will become more mature, move towards the community and build an ecosystem together.
