This means that open source maturity, based on the perspective from the people is no longer a problem. Thus beginning a new phase. We are considering what is open source, industrialization, and how open source into better productivity. In this regard, there are many open source-related events and can serve as a good note, for example, recently IBM and Red Hat in the United States jointly issued a program to encourage the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version of the IBM System z mainframes in the rapid development of plan; SAP customers have begun to join forces to expand Novell's Linux support options; the same time, Novell has also expanded its cooperation with IBM, the IBM's WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (WAS CE) embedded in its own SuSE Linux Enterprise in.

But China's open-source community has been "Get more, contribute less," while the international community and the presence of cultural integration, as well as open source enterprise in China, "the form of open source," these issues have formed the open source environment with Chinese characteristics.
