Dark Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Google has opened Fuchsia, its Android alternative open source operating system project, to contributions from the public, in order to encourage discussion and identification of problems for improvement before it is ready for product development. Since the beginning of its development four years ago, the works in Fuchsia have been shared in public repositories, which allows us to see “how it has evolved” in this time. "We are laying this foundation from the core up to facilitate the creation of safe and durable products and experiences," they say from Google on the official blog. The company has taken a step this Tuesday, with the opening of the code of the open source model of the operating system, "to facilitate public participation in the project." This involves the creation of mailing lists for public discussion, a governance model to detail strategic decision-making, and a problem monitor. Fuchsia is an open source project designed to be inclusive, and to prioritize security, adaptability, and performance. The company has been working on it for four years, which is known to use the Zircon development kernel instead of Linux, like Android, and that it will be able to run Android applications. The company clarifies that this openness does not mean that Fuchsia is ready for general product development or as a development objective, but encourages those interested to try it in its emulator.
