Community Highlights
openEuler Technical Committee member Wei Xiong delivers a keynote speech on foundation models and intelligent OS innovation
The rapid development of #AI is changing the world and leading us to a smart future. This also brings new challenges and opportunities for OSs. Therefore, building a stable and efficient #OS is very important. On October 24, 2023, Dr. Wei Xiong, a Technical Committee member of the openEuler Community, gave a keynote speech titled "Foundation Models – Boon or Bane for Intelligent OS Innovation??", where he shared his thoughts and practices on intelligent OSs.
Summer Coding Camp ends with success
The Summer Coding Camp, a collaborative event between CNCF Curve ? and openEuler has come to a successful end. In this event, #Curve completed the adaptation with openEuler/arm64, enriching the community's technical ecosystem.
?
openEuler Migration and O&M Empowerment Meeting is held online
On October 26, the openEuler Migration and O&M Empowerment Meeting organized by the Talent and Service SIG was held online, aiming to improve the service efficiency and quality for users. The meeting mainly focused on the new features of the openEuler #migration tool x2openEuler? and incorporated presentations, demonstrations, and Q&A sessions, attracting more than 120 participants.
?
Several SIGs hold offline meetups in different cities
On October 12, the openEuler Virt Meetup was held in Beijing. The meetup was initiated by the openEuler Virt SIG, which aims to create a platform for sharing #virtualization technologies. The meetup featured several discussions on topics such as the technical practices, latest trends, and future directions of virtualization technologies. On October 14, the openEuler Messaging Middleware Meetup was held in Hangzhou. The meetup invited several well-known technical experts to explore the #messagingmiddleware technology architecture, large-scale practices, performance optimization, and innovations. On October 20, the openEuler FangTian SIG and the openKylin Desktop Environment SIG held an offline workshop in Tianjin. The workshop focused on the main practices and technical insights of the #desktop environment and the #windowengine. Participants also shared the latest trends and future innovations of the desktop environment.

Technical Progress
Cloud HPC chooses openEuler as the default operating system
Cloud HPC is an #opensource project developed by Shanghai HPC-NOW Technologies, who also built HPC-NOW, a high-performance #cloudcomputing solution based on Cloud HPC. For the past few months, the openEuler community and the #CloudHPC team have collaborated closely to develop a complete Cloud HPC solution. This is a valuable practice for openEuler to work with upstream projects and an important step for openEuler to integrate with leading public #cloud platforms.
Cantian engine is open-sourced in openEuler
The Cantian engine is a #middleware that transforms a single-node #database into a database with capabilities similar to Oracle Real Application Cluster (Oracle RAC). The #Cantian engine adopts an innovative decoupled #storage and compute architecture and uses key technologies such as distributed #cache, transaction multi-version concurrency control (MVCC), and high availability (HA) in a multi-active cluster to enable a distributed database and build a distributed database storage architecture featuring write many read many (WMRM). This project has been open-sourced in the openEuler community and is maintained by the DB SIG.
EulerPublisher is open-sourced in openEuler
EulerPublisher is a unified #toolchain that can automatically build, test, and publish openEuler images. It has published openEuler images to various public cloud platforms such as AWS, Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and container image repositories such as Docker Hub, greatly improving the publish efficiency and making openEuler easy-to-access. #EulerPublisher 0.0.2 is now available on PyPI?.

Zephyr SIG work progress
The Zephyr SIG has recently updated its project ZVM, an embedded real-time #virtualmachine, which allows developers to easily build a virtualization management platform through scripts, improving the system availability and performance. The next goal of #Zephyr SIG is to support a hybrid deployment of #ZVM, openEuler Embedded, and Zephyr on real hardware. What's more, the Zephyr SIG has assisted in enabling Zephyr support for #RaspberryPi 4b and RK3568.
?
Infrastructure SIG Work Progress
This month, the infrastructure team has achieved the following results:
l? Built an online pipeline for system release, streamling #radiaTest-AT testing, CVE security notices, #bugfix notices, automatic signing and verification, virus scanning, radiaTest version testing, online review, and release archiving.
?
Software & Hardware Compatibility
As of October 2023, the number of openEuler #compatibility solutions reached 1,251, including 776 underlying-layer, 431 application-layer, and 110 OS solutions, among which, 36 underlying-layer, 4 application-layer, and 3 OS solutions were added in October only. This shows the continuous growth and development of the openEuler ecosystem.
?
Security Bulletins
In October, we published 69 #security notices, patched 58 #vulnerabilities (including 2 critical, 21 high, and 35 others).
?
The following vulnerabilities have a significant impact and require special attention:
An issue was discovered in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c in the IGB driver in the Linux kernel before 6.5.3. A buffer size may not be adequate for frames larger than the MTU. (CVE-2023-45871) – CVSS 9.8
