At the opening ceremony, Jiang Tao, Founder & Chairman of CSDN and Vice Chairman of China Open Source Software Promotion Alliance, Cui Baoqiu, former Vice President of Xiaomi Group, Ma Tao, Vice Chairman of TOC of Open Atom Open Source Foundation, Chairman of Dragon Lizard Community, and Vice President of Alibaba Cloud Basic Software Department, and Ren Xudong, Chief Open Source Liaison Officer of Huawei, Director of CNCF Foundation, and Vice Chairman of Open Source Security Committee, held a roundtable dialogue entitled "New Era, New Developers". Cui Baoqiu said that open source software is very important for Chinese companies. The take-or-or-take doctrine in the open source concept is relatively simple and easy, and it is also simple to use open source to generate short-term dividends. But if you want to grow in the long run, the best way is to participate in the open source community and become the leader or key force of the project. Large models are very important for users (including programmers) and will replace junior programmers in the next few years for routine repetitive programming, but programmers will still be needed for true architecture design, complex system maintenance, and understanding of business requirements. Therefore, engineers should always stand on the AI wave and ride the big models and AI. Ma Tao said that the advent of the era of large models poses a huge challenge to all developers. First, interest is a powerful driver for programmers to keep improving, and second, the work of the dragon lizard community and the Linux kernel expect enterprises to monetize open source, and at the same time make enterprises and technical employees aware of the huge benefits of participating in open source. Open source projects can only be sustainable if participating companies can continue to benefit from open source projects. Ren Xudong said that Huawei is also the first enterprise in China to participate in the open source community, from the first use of open source to the construction of its own open source governance system ten years ago, from the use of open source to the contribution of open source, in the last four or five years began to initiate and lead a lot of open source projects. From the original focus on standards and connectivity services, it has now expanded to consumers, computing and other ecological services. Now more programmers in the company have learned how to discover and use excellent open source components to expand their programming capabilities, and actively integrate into the open source community to carry out a wider range of partners and ecological collaboration, which is also what we hope to see. Jiang Tao, the moderator of the roundtable dialogue, concluded that software should be open by nature, and openness should be global by nature, and he hoped that our open source in the future will become more and more global. The 2023 Open Atom Developers Conference will last for two days, gathering forces from government, industry, academia, research, application, finance, entrepreneurship, investment and other parties, gathering global technical experts and industry leaders to continue to promote the vigorous development of the software ecosystem.
