On June 15, 2023, the 2023 (18th) Open Source China Open Source World Summit Forum hosted by the China Open Source Software Promotion Alliance was held in Beijing. This Open Source World Summit Forum focuses on "Open Source Innovation, Digital Transformation, and Intelligent Reconstruction", exploring the ecological development model of open source in the uncertain Internet era, digital transformation, and industrial transformation, aiming to help the collaborative innovation of the industrial chain , and continuously promote the prosperity of the open source ecosystem.
At this forum, Lu Shouqun, chairman of the China Open Source Software Promotion Alliance, delivered an opening speech. He said that today people pay more attention to the spillover effect of open source. Open source innovation has become the basis for digital transformation and intelligent reconstruction, and has become a global innovation. The collaborative model has become a strategic demand for innovative nation-building. A total of 25 experts and scholars from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Open Atom Open Source Foundation, the Linux Foundation, the Apache Software Foundation, Huawei, and Xiaomi, etc., presented different perspectives on open source ecology, intelligent connected cars, large models, open metaverse, and cloud native. Here comes the wonderful sharing.

Didi appeared as a partner of this forum. Yang Yi, general manager of Didi Intelligent Platform Business Group and chairman of Didi Open Source Committee, delivered a keynote speech on "DiDi's Open Source Culture and Operation Model". Didi Open Source started in 2017. Since the establishment of the Didi Open Source Committee, it has successively developed internal open source platforms, joined Linux, Apache and other foundations, and became a founding member of the Open Source Development Committee of the China Computer Federation, and successively donated DELTA, Nightingale, etc. project. Didi has always been adhering to the core concept of "open source for good", and is committed to creating an enterprise open source culture of "openness, collaboration, and co-construction".
First of all, "value traction, technology-driven, technology with love" is the value proposition of Didi's production and research culture, of which "technology with love" occupies a large weight. On this basis, Didi has been focusing on the development in the field of "open source for good". First of all, Didi combined open source technology with public welfare, and opened up the mask wearing recognition project during the epidemic; secondly, Didi set up a technology and love track in the internal hackathon competition, and continued to promote this category of projects to enter the internal open source project incubation Chi, one of the representative projects is taxi-hailing for the elderly, which effectively allows more elderly users to experience convenient travel; at the same time, Didi actively helps open source projects enter universities and makes positive contributions to the cultivation of open source talents.
Secondly, Didi continues to stimulate the open collaboration of Didi's engineering team through the internal source platform, encourages independent open source projects, and participates in community building. At present, Didi has open sourced 86 projects to the outside world, and 5800+ companies/organizations have used Didi’s open source projects. At the same time, Didi has participated in the construction of multiple open source projects (Pulsar, Bookkeeper, Apache Flink, etc.), and has several top Apache projects Committer.
