An Introduction to Open Source Software

The document discusses how the Resource Description and Access (RDA) cataloguing standard will impact the future cataloguing community. RDA aims to provide a more flexible approach to metadata creation that aligns with the digital environment. This may require cataloguers to learn new skills and standards that are more compatible with linked data. The transition to RDA presents both opportunities and challenges for the cataloguing community.

The document discusses how diseases can impact communities through isolation, contagion, and pain. It notes how isolation occurs when contagious diseases force separation from neighborhoods. Hospitals aim to relieve pain and provide hospitality for those afflicted despite issues like AIDS. The document provides sources for images related to these concepts.

The document discusses techniques for handling information overload as a librarian or library user. It suggests using productivity tools like blogs, RSS feeds, and email clients to manage information intake in a balanced way. Some tips include focusing on a few important tasks, removing distractions, and letting important information come naturally through passive consumption instead of trying to intake all information at once. Multitasking is presented as bad for productivity and concentration is emphasized as important.

The document contains a list of science biology images and their URLs on various topics including fungi, the immune system, a homemade swine flu vaccine, flagella, and fruit rind with harmful pathogens. The images provide visual representations of scientific concepts in biology for educational purposes.

The document discusses various microorganisms and components of the immune system. It mentions viruses, macrophages, HIV/AIDS, vaccines, fungi, antibodies, T-cells, protozoa, antigens, and malaria. Images are provided as links to further illustrate each term on Flickr.

This document discusses how digital scholarship through open journals, blogs, and social media will achieve the same status as traditional scholarship in academic settings within the next decade. It cites 7 converging pressures that will contribute to this change, including the greater impact and efficiency of digital scholarship as well as institutional benefits from social media. While digital scholarship will not completely replace traditional formats, the overall direction of change favors digital and networked approaches gaining equal recognition and importance alongside traditional academic works.

The document discusses the history and evolution of the Journal of Interactive Media in Education (JIME). It notes that JIME transitioned to new peer review and open access models in 1996. It has since expanded to publish more open and experimental content while balancing traditional quality standards with innovative peer review approaches. JIME also works to improve indexing and technical review processes as it continues innovating as an open access journal.

The document discusses RSS (Really Simple Syndication), a format for web content subscriptions that allows users to keep up with updates from websites and blogs. It provides a brief history of RSS, explains how RSS works by allowing users to subscribe to feeds from websites and have updates delivered automatically, and notes that RSS is a popular way for users to keep informed about new content from their favorite websites and blogs.

The document discusses RSS (Really Simple Syndication), a format for web content subscriptions that allows users to keep up with updates from websites and blogs. It provides a brief history of RSS, explains how RSS works by allowing users to subscribe to frequently updated content on websites through feeds, and discusses why RSS is useful for keeping up with new content across the web in a simple way.

This document discusses issues with reproducibility and data availability in scientific research. It notes that published research is merely an advertisement of the underlying scholarship and data, and that data availability declines rapidly as articles age. Several studies are cited showing limited ability to translate preclinical findings to the clinic due to reproducibility issues, and examples of academic fraud are provided that undermine trust in published results without available data. Overall, the document argues for the importance of data availability to verify and build upon published research findings.

The document discusses the politics surrounding education technology. It notes that technology is neither inherently good nor bad, but can have political implications. It then lists several topics within the politics of education that are shaped by technology, including the politics of education, data, charter schools, automation, and openness.

It explores the difficult experiences of children like Ishmael who are forced into military service due to threats of violence. Many child soldiers face trauma from being separated from their families and lack adequate protection. The document cites several other sources that examine the human rights abuses associated with the exploitation of children in war.

The document discusses the transition from an industrial economy to a new system focused on sustainability and collaboration. It argues that the current economic model has become obsolete and is collapsing due to its unsustainable growth. However, a new economy is already emerging based on principles of thrivability, adaptability, and collective intelligence in order to build a more sustainable future.

An introduction to open source softwares. ithink its complete in all manner if one want to present on this topic

Open source software refers to software with source code that is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Key points: - Open source software source code is openly shared so it can be collaboratively developed and improved by a community. - Popular open source programs include the Linux operating system, Apache web server, MySQL database, PHP, WordPress, VLC media player, Notepad++, Ubuntu, Android, GIMP, LaTeX and Arduino. - Open source software is often free to use but may also be used commercially. It promotes sharing, collaboration and continual improvements to software.

The document summarizes a debate on open source versus proprietary software. It discusses definitions of open source software, popular open source licenses, and advantages of open source such as customizability, security, and lower costs. Open source is gaining adoption in government and enterprise due to benefits like avoiding vendor lock-in, lower costs, and higher quality from community contributions. Surveys find increasing enterprise adoption rates, with over 50% of new software to be open source in the next 5 years. Microsoft is also increasingly supporting open source.

An attempt to orient the unconverted and the semi-converted on the history and benefits of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Created for the PANACeA FOSS training in Bangkok (Feb 2010).

The document discusses and compares open source software and proprietary software. Open source software is software with source code that is available and may be redistributed and modified under an open source license. Proprietary software is licensed under exclusive legal rights that restrict uses like modification and redistribution. Some key differences discussed include open source software being collaboratively developed while proprietary software owners control exclusive rights over the software.

Free, open source software (FOSS) provides concise summaries in 3 sentences or less that provide the high level and essential information from the document. The document discusses FOSS and how it has enabled technology through open innovation, collaborative computing, and freedom of choice. It highlights how the internet is based on open TCP/IP protocols and how open source software like Linux, Firefox, LibreOffice, and others have been developed openly and freely to power many modern technologies and services. FOSS allows knowledge and technology to be shared freely for the benefit of all.
