Google Android Is Open Source: LinuxCon
=======================================
**Google's top-open source exec explains at the LinuxCon conference why Android is open source and why open source is a key part of Android's success.**
NEW ORLEANS—Google Director of Open Source Chris DiBona took the keynote stage at the LinuxCon conference here on Sept. 16 with a key message: Android is open source.
DiBona plays a key role at Google in helping to make sure that his company does right by the open-source community and is compliant with open-source licensing requirements. During his keynote, DiBona explained that from the very beginning of Android's strategic development back in 2005, a core underpinning of the platform has been about being open.
The challenge for Google in 2005 was that it was difficult to get its search engine onto phones. At the time, the handset market was a closed system and Google had to go through a carrier-by-carrier process to get on phones. Android in part was an effort by Google simply to make sure that its search engine could be easily deployed on any phone.
"We wanted people to have the same experience on their phone as they did on the desktop, but no options were available in open source," DiBona said.
With Android, Google wanted to provide a new minimum level of capabilities that users should expect from a phone, DiBona said. What Google didn't want was to have to continuously cut deals with carriers in order for Google search—or, for that matter, any given Website—to run on any phone.
"Cell phone operators can't compete by restrictions anymore; there has to be a level of freedom," DiBona said.
Android has been a tremendously successful effort for Google that gets better every year, according to DiBona. Currently, 1.3 million Android devices are activated daily, he noted.
###Linux
While Android leverages Linux as part of its platform, Android has had some issues with Linux in the past. In 2010, the Google Android code [was dropped][1] from the mainline Linux kernel.
It was not until March of 2012 with the [Linux 3.3 kernel][2] release that Android finally returned to the mainline Linux kernel. DiBona commented that he always thought that it was a good idea for Linux and Android to be together. The dispute was a deeply technical one and dealt with [wake locks][3], a power-saving mechanism.
Linux dispute aside, DiBona said that while some have questioned whether or not Android really is open source, there is a surefire way to prove that it is. Android can be shipped by anyone and included in any product, without Google's involvement or even permission. That fact is enabled by the permissive open-source license under which Google makes Android available.
In the final analysis, DiBona stressed that open source is what makes Android work for Google, and it's a powerful concept that is at the core of Android.

LinuxCon大会：Google Android是开源产品
=======================================
**Google的首席开源执行官在LinuxCon大会上介绍为何说Android是开源的，为何开源是Android成功的关键因素**
9月16日，新奥尔良，LinuxCon大会，负责开源的Google董事Chris DiBona在主题演讲中释放出一个关键信息：Android是一款开源产品。
Google在开源社区中能够确保不犯错并一直遵守开源授权的要求，DiBona在这其中发挥了关键作用。DiBona在演讲中介绍，早在2005年，从Android发展战略刚刚开始的时候，其平台的核心基础就是要始终保持开源。
2005年，Google面临的困难挑战是如何将它的搜索引擎植入手机。当时，手持设备的市场还很封闭，Google只能艰难的一点一点向其渗透。Google要想确保它的搜索引擎能够轻易部署到每一部手机，在某种程度上，Android就成为了一种尝试。
DiBona说，“我们希望人们在使用手机的时候，能拥有和电脑桌面一样的体验，但当时在开源领域并没有这样的产品”。
Google希望的是，Android只为用户提供手机所必需的基本功能，DiBona说，Google并不愿因为在手机上搞竞价排名或定制服务而和运营商们没完没了讨价还价。
DiBona还说，“手机运营商再也不能靠捆绑销售来竞争了，必须要有一个自由的水平（环境？标准？）。”
DiBona介绍，Android已经成为Google极其成功的一项成就，而且它每年都在变得更好。他还补充说，目前，新的Android设备每天的激活量已经达到130万台。
###Linux
从Android利用Linux作为自身平台重要的组成部分开始，它们之间就注定结下不解之缘。2010年，Google的Android代码被从Linux核心中[剔除][1]。
直到2012年三月[Linux内核3.3][2]发布，Android才最终回到Linux核心代码中。DiBona评论说，他始终认为Linux和Android在一起是个好主意。关于它俩是否应该在一起的争论，这是个很技术的技术问题，涉及到一种叫做[WakeLock][3]的省电机制，这里就不细说了。
争论先放一边，DiBona说，有些人质疑Android是否真的开源，简单一句话就可以证明，屡试不爽。不需要Google的参与甚至许可，任何人都可以在任何设备上安装Android。而正是因为Google在开源许可的授权下开发了Android，以上这一切才能成为事实。
DiBona最后总结时强调，是开源造就了Google的Android，开源作为Android的核心观念，早已根深蒂固。
