1.0 INTRODUCTION

Meaning of open source software

Open source software (OSS) refers to ​software​ that is developed, tested, or improved
through public collaboration and distributed with the idea that the must be shared with
others, ensuring an open future collaboration. The collaborative experience of many
developers, especially those in the academic environment, in developing various versions of
the ​UNIX​ ​operating system​, Richard Stallman's idea of ​Free Software Foundation​, and the
desire of users to freely choose among a number of products - all of these led to the ​Open
Source​ movement and the approach to developing and distributing programs as open source
software.

Meaning of hardware

In information technology, hardware is the physical aspect of computers,

telecommunications, and other devices. The term arose as a way to distinguish the "box" and

 the electronic circuitry and components of a computer from the program you put in it to
make it do things. The program came to be known as the ​software​.

Meaning of software

Software is a general term for the various kinds of ​program​s used to operate ​computer​s and
related devices. (The term ​hardware​ describes the physical aspects of computers and related
devices.)

2.0 The Latest Open Source Operating System (OS)

2.1 Meaning of open source operating system

An operating system is a set of programs containing instructions that coordinate all the activities
among computer hardware resources. Most operating system perform similar function that
includes starting a computer, provide a user interface, managing program, managing memory
and configuring devices. Some operating system also allows user to control a network and
administer security.

Name of the open source OS: Explaination:

1.Ubuntu

2.

Ubuntu 16.04 is the 6th Long Term

Name (version): 16.04 LTS Support (LTS) release of Ubuntu. In a certain
sense, the LTS release is the flagship version

Release date : April 2016
of Ubuntu that sees a new release in every 2
years, and each release is backed by 5 years of
support, opposed to the 9 month support of the
normal Ubuntu release that sees a new face in
every 6 months. This means greater security
and reliability as it allows the two packaging
formats which are snap packages and
traditional deb packages to live comfortably
next to one another which enables us to
maintain our existing processes for
development and updates to the OS. This
reinforces the relationship with the Debian
community and it enables developers and
communities to publish either debs or snaps
for the Ubuntu audience.

Date release : July 2016 The Fedora 24 Workstation release features

GNOME 3.20, with many usability
improvements such as easier input device and
printer settings, a better search interface,
shortcut windows for keyboard commands,
and more convenient music controls.

Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is another

building-block feature, with Software able to
track installed Flatpaks and adding more
features in the future as the technology
develops. The Software app has also grown
features to provide a full system upgrade
directly from the desktop from one Fedora
release to the next, and the ability to provide
labeling as well as reviews of available
software.

3.0 The Latest Open Source Application Software

3.1 Meaning of open source application software

Open source application software is computer software that is available in source code form
for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders
are provided under a software license that permits users to study, change, and improve the
software. Some open source application software is available within the public domain.
Open source application software is very often developed in a public and collaborative
manner. Open source application software is the most prominent example of open source
development and often compared to user-generated content or open content movements. The
term ​open source application software​originated as part of a marketing campaign for free
application software.

Name of the open source application Explaination:

software:

Blender is the free and open source 3D

creation suite. It supports the entirety of the
Name + Version : 2.77a 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation,
simulation, rendering, compositing and
motion tracking, even video editing and
game creation. Advanced users employ
Blender’s API for Python scripting to
customize the application and write
specialized tools; often these are included in
Blender’s future releases. Blender is well
suited to individuals and small studios who
benefit from its unified pipeline and
responsive development process. Examples
from many Blender-based projects are
available in the ​showcase​.

​ Docker uses the
resource isolation features of the ​Linux
kernel​ such as ​cgroups​ and
kernel ​namespaces​, and a ​union-capable file
system​ such as ​aufs​ and others​[7]​ to allow
independent "containers" to run within a
single Linux instance, avoiding the
overhead of starting and maintaining ​virtual
​
machines​.[8]

speed increase for certain tasks

4.0 Pervasive computing

4.1 Meaning of pervasive computing

Pervasive computing (also called ubiquitous computing) is the growing trend towards
embedding ​microprocessors​ in everyday objects so they can communicate information.

14 

 
 The words pervasive and ubiquitous mean "existing everywhere." Pervasive
computing devices are completely connected and constantly available.

 4.2 Examples of Pervasive computing

1. Smart Shoe 2. Smartglasses

Smart shoe is a smart technology footwear in

which shoe insoles are connected to a smartphone
application that uses Google maps, and vibrate to
tell users when and where to turn to reach their
destination  computer​ that adds information to what the wearer
Smartglasses or smart glasses or Digital Eye
Glass or Personal Imaging System are a ​wearable
sees. Typically this is achieved through an​optical
head-mounted display​ (OHMD)
or ​computerized​ internet-connected ​glasses​ with
transparent ​heads-up display​ (HUD) or​augmented
reality​ (AR) overlay that has the capability of
reflecting projected digital images as well as
allowing the user to see through it, or see better
with it.

5.0 Conclusion

The improvement of development in ICT not only help us through by resolve our daily life
faster and easier but also have create paperless enviroment naturally good for our future. 
Open Source can be used by anyone and because it has no copyright claims, so users are free
to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified
forms. Pervasive Computing is to make our lives easier because we can interact with
computers. Besides that, we can easily give the computer commands and the computer will
grant your wish.
