7 communities driving open source development
7 个驱动开源发展的社区
================================================================================
Not so long ago, the open source model was the rebellious kid on the block, viewed with suspicion by established industry players. Today, open initiatives and foundations are flourishing with long lists of vendor committers who see the model as a key to innovation.
不久前,开源模式还被成熟的工业厂商以怀疑的态度认作是叛逆小孩的玩物。如今,开放的倡议和基金会在一长列的供应商提供者的支持下正蓬勃发展,而他们将开源模式视作创新的关键。

### Open Development of Tech Drives Innovation ###
### 技术的开放发展驱动着创新 ###
Over the past two decades, open development of technology has come to be seen as a key to driving innovation. Even companies that once saw open source as a threat have come around — Microsoft, for example, is now active in a number of open source initiatives. To date, most open development has focused on software. But even that is changing as communities have begun to coalesce around open hardware initiatives. Here are seven organizations that are successfully promoting and developing open technologies, both hardware and software.
在过去的 20 几年间,技术的开放发展已被视作驱动创新的关键因素。即使那些以前将开源视作威胁的公司也开始接受这个观点 — 例如微软,如今它在一系列的开源倡议中表现活跃。到目前为止,大多数的开放发展都集中在软件方面,但甚至这个也正在改变,因为社区已经开始向开源硬件倡议方面聚拢。这里有 7 个成功地在硬件和软件方面同时促进和发展开源技术的组织。
### OpenPOWER Foundation ###
### OpenPOWER 基金会 ###

The [OpenPOWER Foundation][2] was founded by IBM, Google, Mellanox, Tyan and NVIDIA in 2013 to drive open collaboration hardware development in the same spirit as the open source software development which has found fertile ground in the past two decades.
[OpenPOWER 基金会][2] 由 IBM, Google, Mellanox, Tyan 和 NVIDIA 于 2013 年共同创建,在与开源软件发展相同的精神下,旨在驱动开放协作硬件的发展,在过去的 20 几年间,开源软件发展已经找到了肥沃的土壤。
IBM seeded the foundation by opening up its Power-based hardware and software technologies, offering licenses to use Power IP in independent hardware products. More than 70 members now work together to create custom open servers, components and software for Linux-based data centers.
IBM 通过开放其基于 Power 架构的硬件和软件技术,向使用 Power IP 的独立硬件产品提供许可证等方式为基金会的建立播下种子。如今超过 70 个成员共同协作来为基于 Linux 的数据中心提供自定义的开放服务器,组件和硬件。
In April, OpenPOWER unveiled a technology roadmap based on new POWER8 process-based servers capable of analyzing data 50 times faster than the latest x86-based systems. In July, IBM and Google released a firmware stack. October saw the availability of NVIDIA GPU accelerated POWER8 systems and the first OpenPOWER reference server from Tyan.
今年四月,在比最新基于 x86 系统快 50 倍的数据分析能力的新的 POWER8 处理器的服务器的基础上, OpenPOWER 推出了一个技术路线图。七月, IBM 和 Google 发布了一个固件堆栈。十月见证了 NVIDIA GPU 带来加速 POWER8 系统的能力和来自 Tyan 的第一个 OpenPOWER 参考服务器。
### The Linux Foundation ###
### Linux 基金会 ###
![](http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/01/2_the-linux-foundation-100539101-orig.jpg)
Founded in 2000, [The Linux Foundation][2] is now the host for the largest open source, collaborative development effort in history, with more than 180 corporate members and many individual and student members. It sponsors the work of key Linux developers and promotes, protects and advances the Linux operating system and collaborative software development.
于 2000 年建立的 [Linux 基金会][2] 如今成为掌控着历史上最大的开源协同发展成果,它有着超过 180 个合作成员和许多独立成员及学生成员。它赞助核心 Linux 开发者的工作并促进、保护和推进 Linux 操作系统和协作软件的开发。
Some of its most successful collaborative projects include Code Aurora Forum (a consortium of companies with projects serving the mobile wireless industry), MeeGo (a project to build a Linux kernel-based operating system for mobile devices and IVI) and the Open Virtualization Alliance (which fosters the adoption of free and open source software virtualization solutions).
它最为成功的协作项目包括 Code Aurora Forum (一个拥有为移动无线产业服务的企业财团)MeeGo (一个为移动设备和 IVI (注:指的是车载消息娱乐设备,为 In-Vehicle Infotainment 的简称) 构建一个基于 Linux 内核的操作系统的项目) 和 Open Virtualization Alliance (开放虚拟化联盟,它促进自由和开源软件虚拟化解决方案的采用)。
### Open Virtualization Alliance ###
### 开放虚拟化联盟 ###
![](http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/01/3_open-virtualization-alliance-100539102-orig.jpg)
The [Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA)][3] exists to foster the adoption of free and open source software virtualization solutions like Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) through use cases and support for the development of interoperable common interfaces and APIs. KVM turns the Linux kernel into a hypervisor.
[开放虚拟化联盟(OVA)][3] 的存在目的为:通过提供使用案例和对具有互操作性的通用接口和 API 的发展提供支持,来促进自由、开源软件的虚拟化解决方案例如 KVM 的采用。KVM 将 Linux 内核转变为一个虚拟机管理程序。
Today, KVM is the most commonly used hypervisor with OpenStack.
如今, KVM 已成为和 OpenStack 共同使用的最为常见的虚拟机管理程序。
### The OpenStack Foundation ###
### OpenStack 基金会 ###
![](http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/01/4_the-openstack-foundation-100539096-orig.jpg)
Originally launched as an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) product by NASA and Rackspace hosting in 2010, the [OpenStack Foundation][4] has become the home for one of the biggest open source projects around. It boasts more than 200 member companies, including AT&T, AMD, Avaya, Canonical, Cisco, Dell and HP.
原本作为一个 IaaS(基础设施即服务) 产品由 NASA 和 Rackspace 于 2010 年启动,[OpenStack 基金会][4] 已成为最大的开源项目聚居地之一。它拥有超过 200 家公司成员,其中包括 AT&T, AMD, Avaya, Canonical, Cisco, Dell 和 HP。
Organized around a six-month release cycle, the foundation's OpenStack projects are developed to control pools of processing, storage and networking resources through a data center — all managed or provisioned through a Web-based dashboard, command-line tools or a RESTful API. So far, the collaborative development supported by the foundation has resulted in the creation of OpenStack components including OpenStack Compute (a cloud computing fabric controller that is the main part of an IaaS system), OpenStack Networking (a system for managing networks and IP addresses) and OpenStack Object Storage (a scalable redundant storage system).
大约以 6 个月为一个发行周期,基金会的 OpenStack 项目被发展用来通过一个基于 Web 的仪表盘,命令行工具或一个 RESTful 风格的 API 来控制或调配流经一个数据中心的处理存储池和网络资源。至今为止,基金会支持的协作发展已经孕育出了一系列 OpenStack 组件,其中包括 OpenStack Compute(一个云计算网络控制器,它是一个 IaaS 系统的主要部分)OpenStack Networking(一个用以管理网络和 IP 地址的系统) 和 OpenStack Object Storage(一个可扩展的冗余存储系统)。
### OpenDaylight ###
![](http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/01/5_opendaylight-100539097-orig.jpg)
Another collaborative project to come out of the Linux Foundation, [OpenDaylight][5] is a joint initiative of industry vendors, like Dell, HP, Oracle and Avaya founded in April 2013. Its mandate is the creation of a community-led, open, industry-supported framework consisting of code and blueprints for Software-Defined Networking (SDN). The idea is to provide a fully functional SDN platform that can be deployed directly, without requiring other components, though vendors can offer add-ons and enhancements.
作为来自 Linux 基金会的另一个协作项目, [OpenDaylight][5] 是一个由诸如 Dell, HP, Oracle 和 Avaya 等行业厂商于 2013 年 4 月建立的联合倡议。它的任务是建立一个由社区主导,开放,有工业支持的针对 Software-Defined Networking (SDN) 的包含代码和蓝图的框架。其思路是提供一个可直接部署的全功能 SDN 平台,而不需要其他组件,供应商可提供附件组件和增强组件。
### Apache Software Foundation ###
### Apache 软件基金会 ###
![](http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/01/6_apache-software-foundation-100539098-orig.jpg)
The [Apache Software Foundation (ASF)][7] is home to nearly 150 top level projects ranging from open source enterprise automation software to a whole ecosystem of distributed computing projects related to Apache Hadoop. These projects deliver enterprise-grade, freely available software products, while the Apache License is intended to make it easy for users, whether commercial or individual, to deploy Apache products.
[Apache 软件基金会 (ASF)][7] 是将近 150 个顶级项目的聚居地,这些项目涵盖从开源企业级自动化软件到与 Apache Hadoop 相关的分布式计算的整个生态系统。这些项目分发企业级、可免费获取的软件产品,而 Apache 协议则是为了让无论是商业用户还是个人用户更方便地部署 Apache 的产品。
ASF was incorporated in 1999 as a membership-based, not-for-profit corporation with meritocracy at its heart — to become a member you must first be actively contributing to one or more of the foundation's collaborative projects.
ASF 于 1999 年作为一个会员制,非盈利公司注册,其核心为精英 — 要成为它的成员,你必须首先在基金会的一个或多个协作项目中做出积极贡献。
### Open Compute Project ###
### 开放计算项目 ###
![](http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/01/7_open-compute-project-100539099-orig.jpg)
An outgrowth of Facebook's redesign of its Oregon data center, the [Open Compute Project (OCP)][7] aims to develop open hardware solutions for data centers. The OCP is an initiative made up of cheap, vanity-free servers, modular I/O storage for Open Rack (a rack standard designed for data centers to integrate the rack into the data center infrastructure) and a relatively "green" data center design.
作为 Facebook 重新设计其 Oregon 数据中心的副产物, [开放计算项目][7] 旨在发展针对数据中心的开放硬件解决方案。 OCP 是一个由廉价、无浪费的服务器,针对 Open Rack(为数据中心设计的机架标准,来让机架集成到数据中心的基础设施中) 的模块化 I/O 存储和一个相对 "绿色" 的数据中心设计方案等构成。
OCP board members include representatives from Facebook, Intel, Goldman Sachs, Rackspace and Microsoft.
OCP 董事会成员包括来自 FacebookIntelGoldman SachsRackspace 和 Microsoft 的代表。
OCP recently announced two options for licensing: an Apache 2.0-like license that allows for derivative works and a more prescriptive license that encourages changes to be rolled back into the original software.
OCP 最近宣布了许可证的两个选择: 一个类似 Apache 2.0 的允许衍生工作的许可证和一个更规范的鼓励回滚到原有软件的更改的许可证。
