📅 July 27  Sunday 9:30 – 12:00

Topic: Open Source Culture/Open Source Community/Open Source Story

Speech topic:The integration of traditional Chinese culture and open source spirit

Share time:July 27 09:30-09:45

Topic Introduction:In Chinese history, the spirit of scholars has always promoted and maintained social development through independent individuals with a public spirit. With the advent of the modern digital economy, when the mobility of digital production factors eliminates physical limitations, the networked nature of collaboration transcends traditional organizational boundaries, and the exponential growth of productivity changes the driving force of value creation, China must build a cultural-knowledge framework that is compatible with the digital economy. As an "incubator" and "container" of dynamic consensus, open source organizations are balancing self-organization vitality and system stability with a decentralized architecture, reshaping the value creation paradigm of "ecological sharing". This topic will analyze its contribution quantification mechanism and licensing consensus system to promote the nonlinear accumulation of individual wisdom in an open ecosystem and break through technical barriers, and ultimately reveal how open source collaboration can become a link between traditional spirit and the progress of digital civilization, and breed "emergent innovation" in digital civilization and economic development.
