Free and Open Source Software for Business: An IntroductionJames Kariuki
This document provides an introduction to general concepts and business ideas related to free and open source software (FOSS). It defines FOSS and discusses the four basic freedoms of FOSS, including the freedom to use, study, modify and redistribute FOSS. The document differentiates between FOSS and proprietary software and identifies some FOSS business models. It also discusses FOSS licensing models and provides resources for staying up-to-date with the FOSS ecosystem.
System software coordinates hardware components and translates inputs into machine language. Examples include operating systems like DOS, BIOS, and linkers. Popular operating systems are Microsoft Windows, developed by Microsoft for IBM PC compatible systems.
Application software allows direct interaction with computers and includes programs like Microsoft Office, web browsers, email clients, media players, and antivirus software. Application software is divided into systems software that supports applications, and actual applications end-users directly interact with.
System software is a type of software that operates basic computer functions and provides a platform for running other application software. There are different types of system software including operating systems, device drivers, and programming software. The most important system software is the operating system, which acts as an interface between users and hardware and manages other programs. Major operating systems include Windows, Macintosh, and Linux. Windows 7 was developed by Microsoft as an improved version of earlier Windows operating systems with enhanced features, speed, and resource usage. As technology has evolved, operating systems and devices have shifted from desktop computers to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
This document provides a summary of the plans and implementations for ACME's upcoming operating system upgrade. It reviews the coding, network design, access database, and information assurance. It conducted a review of the programming code and implemented a countdown timer. It examined the current network structure and recommended changes. An Access database was created to organize employee and computer information for the help desk. A presentation on information assurance was provided. Finally, it included tutorials for help desk workers on setting the company homepage and managing cookies in the web browser.
The document discusses the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) to support Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services for education. It provides perspectives on using FOSS as a strategic component to build ICT infrastructure and close the digital divide. FOSS offers opportunities to develop technology solutions without reinventing the wheel and build competencies through collaborative projects. FOSS licensing frameworks like the GPL and open standards ensure interoperability and prevent vendor lock-in.
This document provides a review and recommendations for Top Secret Incorporated's (TSI) operating system (TSI/OS). It finds that while TSI/OS was initially successful for TSI's clients, it is no longer suitable for TSI's own backend needs. The summary identifies key issues with TSI/OS including a lack of multiprogramming, security vulnerabilities, outdated device drivers, and susceptibility to deadlocks. It recommends that TSI transition to Windows 10 to address these challenges, improve functionality for employees, and ensure the company's continued success.

Application software: helps users solve particular problems
In most cases, application software resides on the computer’s hard disk
Application software can also be stored on CDs, DVDs, and flash or key chain storage devices
Computers require software to function, as hardware alone serves little purpose. Software acts as the interface between users and computers, allowing users to interact with and control hardware. There are four main categories of applications software: basic productivity software, business and specialty software, entertainment software, and education and reference software. While different software packages have unique features, most share common interface elements like menus, toolbars, dialog boxes, and help functions to aid users.
The document discusses the use of data flow diagrams (DFDs) to model business processes. It defines key elements of DFDs, including processes, data flows, data stores, and external entities. It explains how to create DFDs at different levels of detail through decomposition. Context, level 0, level 1, and level 2 diagrams are discussed. The document also provides guidance on validating DFDs for syntactic and semantic accuracy.
This document discusses an introduction to application software. It defines software and hardware, and describes the main types of software: system software, application software, open source software, and proprietary software. Examples are provided for each type, including operating systems, word processors, spreadsheets, and databases. Key aspects of application software like word processors, presentations, and database management systems are explained.
An operating system manages computer hardware resources and provides common services that allow application programs to function. It acts as an intermediary between programs and computer hardware, allocating resources like input/output, memory, and scheduling tasks for efficient use of the system. Popular modern operating systems include Android, iOS, Linux, OS X, Windows, and others, with many sharing roots in UNIX. Operating systems can be found on devices ranging from phones and game consoles to supercomputers and web servers.

It describes common business software such as word processing, spreadsheet, database, and presentation software. It also covers personal finance, tax preparation, desktop publishing, and multimedia software for home and educational use. Graphics and professional software for tasks like computer-aided design, photo and video editing are also outlined.
This document discusses open source software, including its definitions, benefits, and state in Malaysia. Open source software provides freedom to users and prevents vendor lock-in. It benefits developing countries by providing affordable access. However, some fears about open source include lack of accountability, support, and security. In Malaysia, open source is commonly used for servers but less so in corporations, schools, and for development. Moving forward, the document proposes government initiatives like an open source policy and deployment in the public sector to further adoption.
This document discusses the economics of open source software. It explains that open source software is not just about sharing or giving things away for free, but is actually closely tied to capitalism. Open source software development spreads costs and risks across many contributors. Companies that adopt open source can benefit from lower costs and more customized software that is improved through peer review. The open source model is economically viable and may be applicable to other fields beyond just software.
The document discusses different types of operating systems and software licenses. It describes how operating systems coordinate hardware resources, provide user interfaces and manage programs.

Common services provided by operating systems include program execution, I/O operations, file manipulation, communication, error handling and protection. The document also discusses copyright, different software licenses like freeware, shareware and open source, and provides examples of each.
This document provides an overview of open source software including its definition, history, freedoms, development model, licenses, security considerations, and advantages/disadvantages. Open source software gives users the freedom to use, modify, and share the software. It originated in the 1980s with Richard Stallman's GNU project. There are various business models for open source including support/services. Popular licenses include the GPL, MPL, Apache, and BSD licenses which have different terms regarding modifications and redistribution. While open source is not inherently more secure, its transparency and community review can improve security.
Open source software refers to software that is available in source code form and can be freely used, modified, and shared under an open source license. Some key characteristics of open source software include:
1) The source code is freely available.
2) Anyone can modify and distribute the source code or copies of the original software.
3) It does not discriminate against persons, groups, fields of endeavor, or types of software distributed along with it.
Open Source is Not An Alternative, It is The Solutionwiradikusuma
Open source is a viable business model for companies. It allows businesses to benefit from free or low-cost open source software while also making money in other ways like support contracts, training, and dual licensing models where a free open source license and a paid license are both offered. Open source businesses build their asset in community goodwill and brand reputation rather than lock-in from proprietary software licenses.

Expert Lecture delivered at K. K. Wagh Polytechnic, Nashik (INDIA)
by,
Tushar B Kute (Asst. Professor, Sandip Institute of Technology and Research Centre, Nashik)
Richard Stallman developed the concept of free and open source software in the 1980s in response to proprietary software that forbade sharing and modification. He founded the Free Software Foundation and developed the GNU General Public License to ensure software remains freely available. Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and combined with software from the GNU project to create a fully functional open source operating system, now known as GNU/Linux. Open source software development involves volunteer contributions from around the world and has produced major programs and platforms like Linux, Apache, Firefox, and LAMP.

Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology, v. 3.0
Digital All Access Pass
by John Gallaugher
11.1 Introduction
Learning Objectives
1. Recognize the importance of software and its implications for the firm and strategic decision making.
2. Understand that software is everywhere; not just in computers, but also cell phones, cars, cameras, and many other technologies.
3. Know what software is and be able to differentiate it from hardware.
4. List the major classifications of software and give examples of each.
We know computing hardware is getting faster and cheaper, creating all sorts of exciting and disruptive opportunities for the savvy manager. But what’s really going on inside the box? It’s software that makes the magic of computing happen. Without software, your PC would be a heap of silicon wrapped in wires encased in plastic and metal. But it’s the instructions—the software code—that enable a computer to do something wonderful, driving the limitless possibilities of information technology.
Software is everywhere. An inexpensive cell phone has about one million lines of code. [1] Ford automobiles actually have more lines of code than Twitter and Facebook combined. [2] Software might even be in grandpa. The average pacemaker has between 80,000 and 100,000 of code. [3] In this chapter we’ll take a peek inside the chips to understand what software is. A lot of terms are associated with software: operating systems, applications, enterprise software, distributed systems, and more. We’ll define these terms up front, and put them in a managerial context. A follow-up chapter, Chapter 12 "Software in Flux: Open Source, Cloud, and Virtualized and App-driven Shifts" “Soft ...

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
