My advice for the "14th Five-Year Plan"丨Song Kewei, Deputy Secretary-General of China Open Source Software Promotion Alliance: Fully promote open source and enhance technological innovation support capabilities

Currently, our country is facing a profound and complex development situation at home and abroad. Modern technological innovation increasingly requires the integration of high-quality resources and collaborative research. The traditional innovative organization model cannot meet the needs of rapid innovation. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed for the first time "the establishment of a new national system for key core technology research under the conditions of a socialist market economy." In my opinion, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the open source model can be fully borrowed from the new national system to enhance technological innovation capabilities.

is of great significance to the development of science and technology in our country. The open source concept of

began in the 1970s. It aims to break the technology blockade, fight against commercial monopolies, and impact the existing global software market. With the promotion and popularization of open source, the global digital divide is shrinking at an accelerated rate. Open source has also contributed to the rapid rise of my country's Internet and mobile Internet era. Open source technology has opened a door for Chinese technicians to enter the world's top technology camp. For example, large technology companies such as Alibaba and Tencent are all built with open source as their core technology. These companies are also building their own open source projects. Tencent has more than 100 open source projects, and Alibaba has more than 1,700 open source projects.

open source is a flat, self-consistent management online organization that can efficiently organize developers from all over the world. The birth of this collaborative innovation organization has greatly improved the production efficiency and distribution efficiency of software. The open authorization model is more friendly to users and developers, and is more conducive to the subsequent development, evolution and use of open source projects. The open source culture of "Everyone is for me, I am for everybody" can attract outstanding engineers with the same interests, willing to share, showing their strengths, and cross-regional and cross-industry to participate in technical research and community construction. In addition, open source can quickly realize the globalization of software technology, which is the only way to break down technical barriers and achieve technical security.

For the open source and open source industry, the most valuable resources are program developers and open source communities. The open source community organizes outstanding technical personnel from all walks of life and the world through the Internet, and represents the most advanced technology innovation management mechanism. Its core features are flat management structure, self-organization of management models, and digital management.

Currently, my country's open source community is developing very rapidly, but the development process still lags behind some developed countries. Nowadays, program developers and the industry are gradually paying attention to and investing in the open source community, and the open source ecosystem is becoming more and more perfect. China's open source communities generally belong to the budding state of open source communities. Most of them are small open source project technical communities spontaneously formed by technical personnel or user-type communication communities with a certain company product (open source or closed source) as the core. The main manifestation is the lack of industrial funds The lack of professional community operation experts and personnel, the lack of social capital attention, and the lack of professional services for non-software technical personnel, including the participation of legal experts, entrepreneurial incubation, financial investment, marketing, product and management experts. In the industry, my country's open source community organization ability, propaganda ability, and united front ability urgently need to be strengthened. The technical characteristics of

open source-collaborative innovation model, flat self-consistent and agile development, make it a pioneer in the Internet era and mobile Internet era. It meets the requirements of China's technological development in the new era. Through learning and promoting open source, it will accelerate the narrowing of the technological gap between China and developed countries, especially in key and key technological fields. In addition, open source has paved the way for China to participate in global open technology standards. Open source is a natural ally of China's technological innovation. With the help of open source, it can form a latecomer advantage.

Five dimensions to promote my country’s open source development

is oriented towards the “14th Five-Year Plan”. Under the new development pattern of domestic and international double-cycle mutual promotion, the key to breaking through the information technology blockade is to learn from the open source model to upgrade my country’s technology Innovating the governance system can specifically start from the following aspects.

One is to take "open source cooperation" as the core strategy of my country's technological innovation and national system. Through the establishment of a top-level strategic plan,

horizontally breaks the current barriers of scientific and technological innovation related fields, gathers, discloses and shares scientific and technological achievements, and introduces social resources, especially small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurial teams. It is necessary to accelerate the full integration with the international open source ecosystem, attract and reward international open source foundations, open source communities and open source companies to establish branches in China, encourage them to establish data centers or mirror sites in China, assist them in building and improving the Chinese version of the community website, and fund them Regular technical exchange activities are held in China. Encourage the construction of open source communities in various fields in China and cooperate with international communities, and encourage domestic communities to hire internationalOpen source technology leaders act as consultants and reward the internationalized Chinese community. To encourage open source people to participate in the development of open standards in various fields around the world.

The second is to establish an open source foundation, build a large open source community and activate a small open source community.

liberalize the domestic restrictions on the establishment of open source foundations, and encourage the government and social forces to jointly establish more open source foundations. The foundation is responsible for the specific work of the management and incubation of open source communities and open source projects. Pilot mixed ownership of open source communities, that is, initiated by the state or central (state) enterprises, and jointly build open source communities (gateway communities) with open source foundations, in which the state and central (state) enterprises are responsible for funding and maintaining community neutrality. The professional open source operation team is responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of the later open source community and fund, incubate and help the small open source community or open source projects on it. The

open source community is mainly responsible for the construction of information infrastructure and the provision of public services, such as data centers, code hosting, legal assistance, financial incubation, and industry promotion. The large community supports and assists companies or individuals to quickly build their own small communities within the large community. Small communities can directly use various public resources of the large community for their own use, and the energy of the small community is more focused on its own technical projects. The establishment of such an open source community with an integrated two-tier structure in which large communities and small communities sing plays can give full play to the advantages of central (state) enterprises in industrial resources, funds and markets, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of participation and innovation of small and medium enterprises Professional community operation experts are responsible for organizing, coordinating and promoting operation and maintenance. They will give full play to the resource integration advantages of the large community, become a resource pool for stable and sustainable development, activate the flexible, efficient and dynamic characteristics of small communities, and develop the open source community as a whole Become a mature community with metabolic capabilities featuring natural selection, survival of the fittest, and resource redistribution.

The third is to cultivate open source software talents from education. Starting from the basic education stage,

adjusts teaching materials and optimizes teaching staff, avoiding the heavy reliance on software and hardware products of any commercial company in teaching materials and learning environment, especially the current excessive dependence on X86 hardware platforms, Windows systems, Office documents and Flash courseware. To reform the open technology education system for primary and middle school students, technologies such as the open hardware platform Risk-V, open board Raspberry Pi, domestic Feiteng devices, and Linux/Android open systems can be introduced as teaching environment and teaching courseware. At the same time, increase the proportion of informatics class hours in the entire basic education stage, break informatics into software development, hardware development, network security, computer-aided design and other courses in the junior high school stage, and carry out extensive information technology competitions across the country. In high school, vocational education and higher education, the proportion of information technology courses and the difficulty of examinations have been greatly increased. It is recommended to set informatics and software development as subjects of the college entrance examination. At the same time, learn from the dual education implemented in Germany to learn theoretical knowledge and open source Combining the practical learning of the community and the enterprise, both results are achieved simultaneously. The introduction of this education assessment system can effectively ensure that information technology talents are always facing market demand and achieve seamless connection with the corporate team.

Fourth is to promote open source transformation of enterprises and incubate open source entrepreneurship.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, leading IT companies such as Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, etc., actively embrace open source, and enterprises above designated size have formulated corporate open source strategies. The main body of scientific and technological innovation is enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises account for 97% of the total number of enterprises. They are the core force of my country's scientific and technological innovation. They contribute 65% of the country's invention patents and 80% of new product development. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, small and medium-sized enterprises should be further activated to solve their problems of "lack of heart" or "lack of strength" in carrying out technological innovation. Encourage, guide and even fund them to actively carry out open source transformation and increase the entrepreneurial incubation of open source projects. At the same time, large companies are encouraged to set an example and open basic technology projects in the open source community, focusing on designing business models, productization, marketing, and implementation delivery links. Small and medium-sized enterprises need open source foundations, and experts from the open source community assist them in their open source transformation. For incubating open source projects and small and micro enterprises, more subtle services can be provided. For example, cancel the restrictions on offline registration business locations, encourage and recognize SOHO, a new technological innovation model that focuses on online collaboration; the open source community provides free network resources for open source projects and small and micro enterprises, such as virtual hosts, networks Storage, R&D cloud, etc.; the open source community can also provide scientific and technological financial services for outstanding open source projects and small and micro enterprises through the evaluation of technical resources (such as open source code)(Such as personal credit loans, source code pledge loans or entrepreneurial subsidies), which can effectively assist open source projects to rapidly grow into enterprises and provide one-stop services. You can try the open source virtual company filing system.

Fifth is to encourage open source in multiple dimensions and promote the upgrading of technological innovation governance system.

encourages the industry to establish more open source alliances, open source communities and open source foundations. Establish a two-tier governance platform for online and offline interaction. Offline is a physical organization, expressed in the form of industry associations and industry alliances composed of enterprises, institutions, universities, research institutes and individuals; online is a virtual society, and the form of expression is developed by Open source community composed of developers, open source projects and source code. There is a partial mapping relationship between offline entity organizations and online open source communities, but offline entity organizations are part of the social structure, and online open source communities are the core of open source collaborative innovation. The focus is on decentralized governance. The so-called decentralization of

can be understood as the separation of the ownership, operation rights, naming rights of the open source community, the intellectual property rights of open source projects, and the personal rights of developers. Generally, the collective and individual leading organizations that contribute the most to the community make democratic decision-making. The open source project-related matters are led by the collective and individual organizations that have contributed the most to the open source project to make democratic decision-making. In this series of decentralized democratic decision-making processes, it is actually an organic combination of democratic centralism and a very efficient technological innovation. In the governance system, the interests of all parties are satisfied and balanced. Another feature of

open source governance is multi-dimensional co-governance. Today's outstanding open source communities have functions such as legal service sub-centers and project incubation sub-centers. Professionals in different fields provide the open source community with a full range of development suggestions and support services from their professional perspectives. Open source stems from technology, but not only technology. Therefore, my country's open source governance should also be extended to multi-field collaboration, and explore active policies that encourage open source from multiple dimensions. For example, formulating preferential laws and regulations that encourage the use of open source; establishing high-end talent plans in the open source field; for government-procured information technology products and services, requiring the source code of the information technology products and services to be filed in the open source community, and requiring information technology providers, open source communities, and government purchasers Sign a tripartite agreement, stipulating that the open source community can be used for long-term operation and maintenance.

open source is the world's technological treasure, and it is also the most advanced technology collaborative innovation model. China’s learning from and development of open source will not only help avoid duplication of investment and form accumulative, reusable, and renewable public technology resources, but also help form a new era of China’s national science and technology innovation system that concentrates efforts on major tasks, and enables China’s technology , Chinese products break through the siege and ultimately serve global users.
