Open Source provides means to overcome
some of those issues
Assets
- Open implementation
freely accessible 4
freedom)
- Open Specification to
develop compatible
products.
- TCK to validate Product
Compatibility.
Culture & Organizational
- Embraces cooperation
and new use cases.
- Nurture technological
innovation.
- Reduces licenses cost
and also the reluctance
to cooperate.

Open source opens opportunities but there are
still a lot of challenges ahead (Cultural, Technical
and Geopolitical).

13. Is it possible to extend the impact of Open Source
mindset to cover the blind spots not yet addressed?

Focusing on developer experience as a growth vector for
Oniro and OpenHarmony
- The cultural differences among regions are also
affecting Open Source development:
- Tooling
- Documentation
- Community engagement
- The OpenHarmony-Oniro cooperation enables
and promote the use of local environments.
- Developers don’t need to change anything, it is
the high level cooperation the one in charge of
extending the outreach and relevance of those
contributions.

Supporting Smart device manufacturers
navigate a challenging regulatory landscape
- Regulatory landscape is becoming
more complex for connected
products (CRA, Data Act, GDPR …).
- Oniro provides a solution that is EU
regulation compliant.
- Hardware platforms running
OpenHarmony can benefit from
Oniro to participate in western
markets.
