Collaboration
editOn September 28, 2021, the OpenAtom Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation announced their intention to form a partnership to collaborate on OpenHarmony.[4]
On October 26 in the same year, both partners launched the Oniro operating system, a compatible implementation of OpenHarmony based on open source[13] and aimed to be transparent, vendor-neutral, and independent system for the global market with the founding members including Huawei, Linaro and Seco, an Italian IoT device manufacturer.[14][15]
On November 23, 2023, nearly two years after the launch of the Oniro operating system, OpenAtom and Eclipse Foundation signed a cooperation agreement for the development of the pan-European OpenHarmony-based distro project.[16]
