Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, lILinux Foundation imemezele iMapzen (ipulatifomu yemephu evulekile yomthombo) manje sekuyingxenye yephrojekthi yeLinux Foundation. IMapzen igxile ezingxenyeni eziyinhloko zokubonisa imephu, njengokucinga nokuzula.
Inikeza onjiniyela isoftware evulekile namasethi wedatha afinyeleleka kalula. Yethulwe ngonyaka we-2013 ngamakadebona embonini yamabalazwe ehlanganiswa nabahleli basemadolobheni, abakhi, abenzi bama-movie, nabathuthukisi bemidlalo yamavidiyo.
URandy Meech, owayenguMphathi Omkhulu weMapzen no-CEO wamanje weStreetCred Labs, uthe: “IMapzen iyakujabulela ukujoyina iLinux Foundation nokuqhubeka nendlela yethu evulekile nebambisanayo yokwenza imephu isoftware nedatha.
Ubuchwepheshe obabiwe bungaba namandla amakhulu, kepha futhi buyinkimbinkimbi futhi buyinselele. ILinux Foundation iyakwazi ukuvumela ukubambisana phakathi kwezinhlangano futhi inedumela elihle lokusingatha amaphrojekthi wedatha nesoftware asebenzayo futhi aphumelelayo.
UMapzen uvuka emlotheni
Omakadebona abambalwa embonini yemephu bethule iMapzen ngo-2013, futhi yaqala ukusebenza ngonyaka wezi-2015, isebenza njengebhizinisi elisebenzayo nabasebenzi kuze kube nguJanuwari 2018, kepha ubuchwepheshe babo bemephu base bukhombisile ukuthi bunamandla futhi buyathandwa.
Ngisho ngenkathi ivalwa, inkampani yamemezela izindlela zabasebenzisi zokuthola ukwesekwa kwesikhathi eside ngemuva kokunyamalala kwakhe, okukhombisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi akakafi ngempela.
Manje Lokho kukhathazeka kuncane njengoba iLinux Foundation ilawula ubuchwepheshe beMapzen. ukugcina ipulatifomu yemephu isakhiwa futhi isetshenziswa ngumthombo ovulekile womphakathi nabasebenzisi emhlabeni jikelele.
Imiklamo evulekile nezinsizakusebenza zeMapzen zisetshenziselwa ukwakha izinhlelo zokusebenza noma ukuzihlanganisa neminye imikhiqizo nezinkundla.
Ngoba izinsiza zakwaMapzen ziwumthombo ovulekile, onjiniyela bangakha amapulatifomu kalula ngaphandle kwemikhawulo yamanye amasethi wedatha wabathengisi bezentengiso.
IMapzen isetshenziswa yizinhlangano ezifana neSnapchat, Foursquare, Mapbox, Eventbrite, The World Bank, HERE Technologies, neMapillary.
NgeMapzen, kungenzeka ukuthatha idatha evulekile futhi wakhe amamephu ngezinsizakalo zokusesha nokuhamba ngomgwaqo, buyekeza imitapo yolwazi yakho futhi ucubungule idatha ngesikhathi sangempela. Lokhu akunakwenzeka ngemephu ejwayelekile noma ngezinsizakalo ze-geotracking.
Inikeza ukugxila kwendawo okuhlukile okuvumela ukuthi sikwazi ukusungula kabanzi ukuthi ipulatifomu yethu icabanga kanjani ngemicimbi nezindawo zayo. IMapzen yiprojekthi emangalisayo futhi siyajabula ukuyibona ijoyina I-Linux Foundation.
Konke kwenzelwa inzuzo yabantu bonke
Ukube iMapzen ibingangeni kuLinux Foundation, abakwaSamsung bebeyogcina ilungelo lokushicilela livule isoftware ethuthukiswa ngenkuthalo futhi esetshenziswa kabanzi ezinye izinkampani eziningi ngaphandle kwayo.
Amalayisense avulekile ngabe asetshenzisiwe (ngaphandle kokuthi ziguqulwe ngumnikazi we-copyright), kodwa wonke umuntu wavuma ukuthi ikhaya elicacile futhi elihlala njalo lawo wonke amaMapzen IPs ngemuva kokuvalwa kuzoba ngcono kakhulu, futhi nangaphezulu emoyeni wephrojekthi yeMapzen kusukela ekuqaleni.
Manje noma yiliphi ibhizinisi noma umuntu angaqhubeka nokusebenza kwisoftware ngokuzethemba.
Okwamanje, akukho basebenzi bakwaMapzen abazobe besebenzela iLinux Foundation. Lesi sinyathelo esenzelwe kuphela ukusungula ukucaciswa kwe-copyright nokulayisense kusoftware nedatha ethengisa kakhulu kumabhizinisi amaningi nezinhlangano eziningi.
IMapzen isebenza efwini nasemagcekeni ezinhlangano ezahlukahlukene, kufaka phakathi iTangram, iValhalla, nePelias.
UJim Zemlin, oyi-CEO yeLinux Foundation, uthe: “Indlela evulekile kaMapzen yokwenza isoftware nedatha inike amandla onjiniyela nezinkampani ukuthi zenze izinhlelo ezintsha ezinendawo ezishintshe izimpilo zethu.
Silangazelela ukunweba umthelela weMapzen ngisho nangaphezulu emhlabeni wonke ezindaweni ezifana nezokuthutha nokuphathwa kwezimoto, ezokuzijabulisa, ukuthwebula izithombe nokuningi ukudala inani elisha lamabhizinisi nabathengi.
Ngokusho kokukhishwa kwabezindaba okusemthethweni, iLinux Foundation izovumelanisa izinsiza ukuze kuthuthukiswe umsebenzi kaMapzen futhi ikhulise uhlelo lwayo lokuphila lwabasebenzisi nabathuthukisi.
