近日，Linux 基金会和 Gitee 达成合作关系，将逐步在 Gitee 建立基金会旗下项目的官方镜像，让国内开发者更近距离的认识和了解 Linux 基金会旗下项目，并参与其开源社区交流。在未来，会有更多 Linux 基金会项目在 Gitee 建立官方镜像，最终完成全部项目的官方镜像建立工作。
Recently, the Linux Foundation and Gitee have reached a cooperative arrangement and will gradually setup official mirror repositories for many of the foundation’s projects in Gitee in order to ensure that developers in China can have local access to projects hosted in the Linux Foundation. This will help Chinese developers to participate in its open source community more fully. In the future, more Linux Foundation projects will establish official mirror repositories on Gitee with the eventual goal of having most all projects with mirror repositories in China.
The first phase of the official mirror sites on Gitee is edge computing project Baetyl and the industrial IoT edge computing framework EdgeX Foundry.
Baetyl
Baetyl 是 Linux Foundation Edge 旗下的边缘计算项目，旨在将云计算能力拓展至用户现场。提供临时离线、低延时的计算服务，包括设备接入、消息路由、数据遥传、函数计算、视频采集、AI推断、状态上报、配置下发等功能。
Baetyl is an open edge computing framework of Linux Foundation Edge that extends cloud computing, data and service seamlessly to edge devices. It can provide temporary offline, low-latency computing services including device connection, message routing, remote synchronization, function computing, video capture, AI inference, status reporting, configuration ota etc.
EdgeX Foundry is a standardized interoperability framework for the development of industrial IoT edge computing. It is deployed on edge devices such as routers and switches for various sensor or other IoT devices and provides plug-and-play functions. The system can then manage these device and then collect and analyze their data, or export it to other edge computing applications or cloud computing centers for further processing.
Edge Computing is a distributed computing architecture that moves the computing of applications, data and services from the network center node to the edge node.
Edge computing decomposes large services that were originally handled entirely by central nodes, cut them into smaller and easier-to-manage parts, and distributed them to edge nodes for processing. Edge nodes are closer to user terminal devices, which can speed up data processing and transmission and reduce delay. Under this architecture, the analysis of data and the generation of knowledge are closer to the source of the data, so it is more suitable for processing big data.
关于 Linux 基金会
About the Linux Foundation
Linux 基金会成立于 2000 年，通过财务和智力资源、基础设施、服务、活动和培训为开源社区提供支持。
The Linux Foundation was established in 2000 to provide support to the open source community through financial and intellectual resources, infrastructure, services, activities, and training.
目前 Linux 基金会中的开源项目超过了 400 个，代码估值超过了 200 亿美元。其中不乏 Linux、Kubernetes、Node.js、Jenkins、Hyperledger 等国内开发者耳熟能详的项目。
At present, there are over 400 open source projects in the Linux Foundation, with a code value in excess of US$20 billion. Among them, there are many projects familiar to local developers in China such as Linux, Kubernetes, Node.js, Jenkins and Hyperledger.
Linux 基金会在世界范围内拥有 1500 多名企业成员。在中国，阿里、百度、华为、腾讯、字节跳动等知名企业都是 Linux 基金会成员。
The Linux Foundation has more than 1,500 corporate members worldwide. In China, well-known companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, Huawei, Tencent and ByteDance are members of the Linux Foundation.
本次 Linux 基金会选择与 Gitee 合作，表现出了 Linux 基金会对 Gitee 在国内开源行业中的认可， Gitee 也将以此次合作为契机，积极与 Linux 基金会共同推进国内开源生态的发展与国际接轨，实现国内开源生态的加速发展，为国内开发者提供一个更高、更广阔的开源交流沟通平台。
The Linux Foundation’s choice to cooperate with Gitee demonstrates the recognition of Gitee in the open source industry in China. Gitee will also take this cooperation as an opportunity to actively promote the development of the open source ecosystem in China and international collaboration, to accelerate development of the local open source ecosystem, and to provide local developers a higher and broader open source communication platform.
