Shortfacts - November 2021


Strategic initiative
The Eclipse Foundation, Europe's largest open source organization, and the OpenAtom Foundation, China's first open source foundation, announce their intention to form a partnership focused on OpenAtom's OpenHarmony operating system (OS).
The common goal of this partnership is to build a worldwide, vendor-neutral and independent open source community that enables developers, vendors and system integrators to extend their global reach in a single and unified ecosystem. OpenHarmony is a distributed multi-kernel operating system that enables machines and connected objects to work together and share both software and hardware.
The goal of the collaboration will be to advance the development and distribution of OpenHarmony. To this end, the Eclipse Foundation will establish additional open source projects and a working group of interested parties to develop, deploy and promote an OpenHarmony-compatible implementation for the global market.
