OpenAtom and Eclipse Foundation signs cooperation for Oniro software

Recently, Sun Wenlong, Chairman of the OpenAtom Open Source Foundation, and Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation signed an agreement of cooperation on Oniro, an open-source project based on open source HarmonyOS operating system called OpenHarmony.

This agreement is the first of its kind in the history of the open source industry two open source foundations are jointly developing an open source ecosystem through code, branding, IP, certification, and exploring other cooperation areas for the open source industry.

It’s also the first time the Chinese open-source foundation has completed a cooperation agreement with a global open-source foundation. The cooperation between OpenAtom Foundation and Eclipse Foundation will provide substantial improvements to the respective projects and boost technical ecosystem growth.

Launched in October 2021, Oniro is an Eclipse Foundation Project dedicated to the development of an open-source vendor-neutral operating system platform.

Eclipse Oniro architecture comprises multiple layers that are based on the OpenHarmony project including the following framework:

• Eclipse Theia streamlines application development, enhancing the development workflow.
• ReactNative extends the usability of existing apps and ecosystems on top of OpenHarmony. It also has Rust language, particularly for the Servo web engine, which paces up the overall system’s safety and security.
• Eclipse Foundation will also introduce frameworks including Eclipse Kanto and Matter to enable the integration of more AIoT and smart home devices integration.
