The following is the interview Record:

Sina Technology: Members Sina friends, good afternoon everyone, welcome to the SAN between interviews. This afternoon is very pleased to have the Linux Foundation, Chief Representative in China Mr. Ke Li Fu. Please, Mr. Fu Li Ke friends with Sina and say hello.
Ke Li Fu: Thank you, a friend of China Hello everyone, I am very pleased to join with Mr. Zhang Sina things to talk about the Linux Foundation. Linux Foundation recently we had a great message, you know what that is?
Sina Technology: I know at the beginning of time, Linux Foundation and the largest local operators, China Mobile has established cooperation.
Ke Li Fu: Yes.
Sina Technology: Also, Mr. Ke Li Fu to us about the content of cooperation? And the Linux Foundation, the development of the country?
Ke Li Fu: China Mobile to join the Linux Foundation to become a member and is gold-level members, we are pleased to have the first company in China, joined our Linux Foundation. So for us it is a great news, great news.
in China, we long ago began to use Linux, but this contribution is not small. Linux Foundation is now in various countries, such as the United States, Europe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Japan will hold a lot of summit activities like seminars, Linux developers who would get together, you can communicate, and then there are many large enterprises in these conferences we their new products, will also discuss some Linux features and applications.
China Mobile to participate in our foundation, we can begin to do in China, these activities, I think China is a very meaningful for us to do.
Sina Technology: We all know that China Mobile in China have great influence. Do you think the cooperation with China Mobile, on the Linux Foundation can play in the development of China's role in promoting what it?
Ke Li Fu: The impact is very large, whether in China or in the world, because many of China Mobile's users. We all know that the largest Chinese population, to mobile phone users, China Mobile about 5,6 million users.
So, in China, China Mobile is the boss, so they say that they support Linux, there are many companies will say, we want to do it a number of Linux-based products. Some individuals may have previously heard of Linux, but difficult to understand the technology that Linux, not well understood, but China Mobile, one that supports Linux, users will be assured, so the user will try.
Sina technology: that is reliable?
Ke Li Fu: Yes. Maybe they will say, I want to buy a Linux-based mobile phone. Therefore, the impact is big.
Sina technology: the focus of bilateral cooperation include what? Is this only in the smart phone? There are other content?
Ke Li Fu: We have done many projects in the Linux Foundation, one of which is MeeGo.
Sina Technology: I understand that MeeGo Nokia and Intel to jointly develop a system that can face a variety of embedded devices, including smart phones, and automotive electronics.
Ke Li Fu: Yes. Intel and Nokia, they each company has its own a project, Intel is mainly to do CPU, as well as Internet and mobile devices in this system the system Moblin. Nokia is a mobile phone manufacturers, their main focus is on the phone above, their Maemo system in this area very strong. Intel and Nokia started to do their own, and then they think that if we cooperate, may be stronger. And because the two systems are based on Linux, they think, only two companies to do this, do not do too much, so they put together Moblin and Maemo, called MeeGo, this entire system to the Linux Foundation Association. Linux Foundation is not to say their own development, but the Foundation to support the project. Online and in our meetings, we will support the project, and we also support other members, not just large companies, smaller companies are also doing MeeGo's development.
China Mobile has not specifically about what they want to do MeeGo development. However, they are more interested in after all. China Mobile is not a software company, not a hardware company, they know the system was quite, and they on their own user is also very understanding. What do they know? For example, the user's habits, the user's request. So, if they participate in the project MeeGo, then by virtue of their experience, they will help Linux. On the other hand, they want Linux Foundation has brought them some benefits. I believe that we can actually give them benefits. Because we understand Linux, with other members, and we also have a good connection, so we can give China Mobile introduced the world's most cattle developers and provides Linux open source services, legal assistance and help we can give China Mobile to provide some training.
Sina technology: is not it can be understood that China Mobile China also will not do MeeGo system development, but the Linux Foundation and China Mobile will be a lot of both complementary cooperation, including the provision of mobile users the demand side, Linux Foundation, to provide the developer side, the development experience, is it?
Ke Li Fu: Yes, for example, China Mobile has some developers to do what Linux projects,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and we know many, many Linux developers, Linux creator Linus to work in the Linux Foundation, while There are IBM, Intel, Nokia, Redhat developers and other companies, we have to understand all aspects of Linux systems. If you need to introduce some of China Mobile's development of Linux, we can help.
Sina technology: a lot of people want to know, China Mobile acquired knowledge of Linux development, the future will not be above the Linux system for greater efforts to develop it?
Ke Li Fu: I want to be. And our projects, such as MeeGo, and other items, are very open. Not only is open source, but also open to the public, and in some forums or discussion groups where anyone can go to the exchange, you can put forward their views, can provide some source code and more. China Mobile can also participate in these activities.
Sina technology: Do you think as an open source operating system, Linux can bring what is the value of China Mobile?
Ke Li Fu: they are a service company, so we do not bring them anything directly, but they, after all, want to give their users the best user experience. So they do not want to just Windows, Apple iOS, Blackberry, Symbian and other operating systems, allowing users to have one more choice is very important, I think China Mobile is such a position.
Sina technology: is for the user to add a new option?
Ke Li Fu: Yes.
Sina technology: I think Linux is not only a system, but a platform. Now as a platform, you need a complete ecosystem to support this platform, so as to give the user a better experience. For example, more applications can be developed, or a variety of software and services. In this regard, we strive to do what? What achievements can now share with you?
Ke Li Fu: The Linux Foundation's activities are relatively large, not just corporate members, but also individual users to participate in, and now we probably have about 100 corporate members. Moreover, people who are not members can participate in our activities. Our site has many millions of people every month to visit. Application developers do, in the tens of thousands around the world, if Apple's App Store is quite successful,

Sina Technology: claims to have hundreds of thousands of applications.
Ke Li Fu: Yes, so, Android is more successful, with 10 million applications. It is based on the Linux system. MeeGo than Apple and Google, a little late, but Intel is doing a App Up, Nokia also has its own Ovi, I think other companies should have, some have already begun. Of course, he will not be Linux Foundation, App Store, but our developers are very many, at least the tens of thousands, maybe more. These developers will we participate in the ecosystem, I believe that Linux already has an ecosystem. Can not be said to be complete, I think it needs a App Store, Intel, Nokia's app store has not Google and Apple do well. Google can also be said to be a Linux-based systems.
Sina technology: how to understand the relationship between these persons, Android system is also based on Linux, Intel has its own mobile stores App Up, Nokia has a Ovi, are very much tied with Linux, how Understanding the relationship between the three developers in the Linux platform, is not it can use these applications, will have some distance or barriers?
Ke Li Fu: MeeGo The purpose is to do the standard, because Linux up to now there are several hundred species of Linux, there are Redhat, Turbo Linux, etc., there are red flags in the country, the successful bidder and so on. This dispersed relatively powerful, so MeeGo purpose is to put Linux into something of a standard. For example, you are a developer, you do an application, if your application is in line with the standards MeeGo, then the application can be used on mobile phones in the MeeGo in MeeGo also should be able to access this.
Sina Technology: MeeGo is one version of Linux, such as Android, Redhat Linux they have their own version. If MeeGo based applications developed can be used in MeeGo this system, can apply on Android? Is there a different place?
Ke Li Fu: there will be. Do you see Google Android, there are Redhat, etc., you can not run Android applications to do on the Redhat. If you do a MeeGo version because this is not a company's products, but a Community project, if you meet the MeeGo standards, your application or your hardware will support, it means that we can be unified Linux.
Sina Technology: We know, MeeGo system not only for netbooks and smart phones, also has a wider application of space, please tell us about its current status? And its future plans like?
Ke Li Fu: MeeGo not only the phone has Internet access, there are network TV, there are automotive electronics, is more extensive.
Sina technology: back to the beginning of cooperation with China Mobile. China Mobile is also trying to build a platform of things, it should be with us this piece is not limited to mobile phones, is not there also cooperation in other areas of the plan?
Ke Li Fu: This is likely, in fact, China Mobile has been doing cloud computing, so they have been in use on the server Linux, this is one thing.
more and more companies now have to do cloud computing, is to serve the above products, so I believe that China Mobile is also considering how these aspects of the business bigger, the Amazon as well as the United States others are doing cloud computing, China Mobile should have such a plan.
Sina technology: it has a big cloud project. The plan which they should also have the possibility of cooperation with Linux?
Ke Li Fu: There should be. I do not have a specific communication with them, but I believe there will be, after all, we are just starting with the relationship between China Mobile have cooperation.
Sina Technology: This will gradually deepening?
Ke Li Fu: Yes.
Sina Technology: We have talked about, cloud computing, many IT vendors are now a hot topic, how do you think of this trend? Foundation in this respect, what preparations?
Ke Li Fu: because we are not a company, we will support all aspects. Linux itself is very suitable for cloud computing, because the server running Linux is very stable. Cloud computing is not just a few days ago a news in China, that the world's fastest computer is the Milky Way One, this is very bad, we say that HPC, High Performance Computing in Chinese that is. The world's fastest computers than 90% are using Linux. It is with the relationship between cloud computing, Linux still the stability of performance is good, but it is for the cloud.
you think if Google, Baidu, Alibaba,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Amazon, these companies do not use Linux, then, will use Windows? This is impossible.
Sina technology: Why not?
Ke Li Fu: Because Windows unstable, if you search for when the old blue screen, how do? Users will not use.
Sina technology: that Linux can support on the stability of large-scale computing, including cloud count?
Ke Li Fu: Yes.
Sina Technology: We know that Mr. Ko Li-rich area of study in Linux for years. Describe to us, which practitioners in this field experience?
Ke Li Fu: I did the first company called Turbo Linux, we do not express their own Linux version, but with a lot of companies working together, I was first started in 1993, Linux, and then, I also began to sell Linux products. When we do these, think, Asia users will think? If these applications are in English, then, is not particularly friendly, in Japan and China, or the need for Chinese characters, we spent a lot of effort in this regard, to China and Japan users convenience. Then we did my Turbo Linux, beginning around 1997, the market share in Japan, about 60 to 70% of the way, the first in China, we also do Linux company, so Turbo Linux in China with some PC makers There are some co-operation, such as Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard, IBM and others have cooperation. So, Turbo Linux should be made more successful, and now a listed company in Japan.
second is the Mountain View Data, done on the data storage and servers business.
Linux Foundation, I worked in addition to outside, and do Splashtop's CSO, is the Chief Strategy Officer, we have some products in Linux, but also did some other software products.
Sina technology: you do the field in the Linux experience on many different Linux version is also very familiar. Now you are resident in China, you see how China's Linux market? China Mobile is the first to join the foundation, there is no objective follow-up, or planning?
Ke Li Fu: I think that users of Linux in China have some understanding of Chinese market is very suitable for Linux.
Sina Technology: How suitable?
Ke Li Fu: There are several reasons, one is that Linux is an open service, the red flag, the successful tenderer and other companies doing well, large companies can also use Linux, such as Huawei, Lenovo, ZTE these companies have with Linux, to install their equipment inside, and then sell the business has been doing such a. Another reason is that in China, will use, will be a lot of developers who programmed, just not a very good App Store, so developers will go to the other systems under development. If we do better, such as China Mobile also began to participate, we can do an App Store for the Chinese market, these developers can develop organically will give the Chinese some good applications, and then sold in China. No matter what your application will take 5, 10 yuan, or there are other business models, such as advertising, have a lot of opportunities. Tingduo Chinese users, the market getting bigger. Pay you a dollar for each user that will be a lot of money.
