Open Source Insider Latest Blog Posts Related Content Data lake storage: Cloud vs on-premise data lakes CIO interview: Laura Dawson, CIO, London School of Economics Download Current Issue Google open sourced its flowery-named Fuschia Operating System (OS) for IoT and mobile applications some four years ago. Know as a capability-based operating system, the project is now open for contributions, fertiliser, fermentation and frolics — where a capability-based operating system generally refers to an operating system that uses capability-based security. The cloud, web & search giant has said that it is open to, “High-quality, well-tested contributions from all.” Open source as it is, Google will retain tight control over the governance model and forward strategic trajectory of Fuchia – so it’s open open source, but on Google open source vision terms… and (arguably, possibly, conceivably) open to Google’s own contributor base in the first instance before the rest of the global community.
