Meaning of open source software

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available and
licensed with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study change and
distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose. Open-source software is very often
developed in a public collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent
e!ample of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-
generated content or (legally defined) open-content movements

a) After the customary six months of incubation, Ubuntu 13.10codenamed Saucy Salamander
has hatched. The new version of the oular !inux distribution brin"s udated alications and
several new features, includin" au"mented search caabilities in the Unity des#to shell.
Althou"h Saucy Salamander offers some useful imrovements, it$s a relatively thin udate. the
most noteworthy item on the 13.10 roadma, was ultimately deferred for inclusion in a future
release. %anonicals efforts durin" the Saucy develoment cycle were lar"ely focused on the
comany$s new dislay server and ucomin" Unity overhaul, but neither is yet ready for the
des#to.
&ue to the unusual nature of this Ubuntu udate, this review is "oin" to diver"e a bit from the
usual formula. The first half will include a hands'on loo# at the new Unity features. The second
half will ta#e a close loo# at the Ubuntu roadma and some of the ma(or chan"es that we can
exect to see over the course of the next several releases.
