OpenEuler: An Emerging OS Community in China - Zhenyu Zheng & Jun Zhong, Huawei Technologies

There are many open source operating system communities, in most cases, each OS has their own target area, the software ecosystem cannot be shared across those OS. This makes developers live harder because they have to learn and use different tools, programming languages, test enviroment, etc for different OS and platform. openEuler is an emerging operating system community in China, the community has attracted over 10K contributors working in different areas, it has over 100 special interest groups(SIGs) and has incubated tons of new projects like iSulad, Stratovirt, NestOS, A-Ops etc other than just a Linux Distribution, each of them have their own specialty in its area. openEuler also provides tools like EulerMaker, which can gather software from the openEuler community and other open source communities, to generate operating systems that is suitable for different areas, like datacenter, Edge, IoT, Embedded, etc. By this, software ecosystem can be shared across different platforms. In this topic, Zhenyu and Jun will share the ideas behind openEuler and some of its' emerging projects. Jun will also share how to operate and manage such a big community.
