Open-source software foundation


OpenAtom Foundation (Chinese: 开放原子开源基金会), a non-profit legal entity registered with China's Ministry of Civil Affairs, is the first foundation for open-source software in China.[1][2] It was established in June 2020 with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and initiated jointly by Alibaba, Baidu, Huawei, Inspur, Qihoo 360, Tencent, China Merchants Bank and other companies for operation and marketing services of open source projects.[1][3][4][5]

Collaboration

On September 28, 2021, the OpenAtom Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation announced their intention to form a partnership to collaborate on OpenHarmony.[5][14]

On October 26 in the same year, both partners launched the Oniro operating system, a compatible implementation of OpenHarmony based on open source[15] and aimed to be transparent, vendor-neutral, and independent system for the global market with the founding members including Huawei, Linaro and Seco, an Italian IoT device manufacturer.[16][17]

On November 23, 2023, nearly two years after the launch of the Oniro operating system, OpenAtom and Eclipse Foundation signed a cooperation agreement for the development of the pan-European OpenHarmony-based distro project.[18]
