• Java Technology
• Mozilla
• Open Office
• Netscape Browser

Open Source Initiative

• The Idea Behind Open Source
• This allows programmers to go in, read and
  understand a software so that they can
  redistribute information and be able to change
  the source code for this piece of software so it
  has the capability to morph into something more.
  Once this has happened, people have a chance to
  get use to it to be able to fix bugs that come
  up, and improve it all together. With Open Source
  being as fast as it is, we can work at
  unbelievable speeds.

Open Source Software

• The two main operating functions are Open Source
  Initiative and Open Source, allow businesses to
  use them so that the business can better itself.
  By doing this, the program must include the
  Source Code and allow distribution of the Source
  Code in compiled form so that a programmer can
  make any possible corrections as needed.

5
Source Code

• The program must include source code, and must
  allow distribution in source code as well as
  compiled form. Where some form of a product is
  not distributed with source code, there must be a
  well-publicized means of obtaining the source
  code for no more than a reasonable reproduction
  costpreferably, downloading via the Internet
  without charge

Examples of Open Source

• Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix,
  written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with
  assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers
  across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single
  UNIX Specification compliance.

• Apart from the fact that it's freely distributed,
  Linux's functionality, adaptability and
  robustness, has made it the main alternative for
  proprietary Unix and Microsoft operating systems.

Liniux

• IBM, Hewlett-Packard and other giants of the
  computing world have embraced Linux and support
  its ongoing development. Well into its second
  decade of existence, Linux has been adopted
  worldwide primarily as a server platform. Its use
  as a home and office desktop operating system is
  also on the rise. The operating system can also
  be incorporated directly into microchips in a
  process called "embedding" and is increasingly
  being used this way in appliances and devices.

Java Technology is Created

• Java technology was created as a computer
  programming tool in a small, secret effort called
  "the Green Project" at Sun Microsystems in 1991.
  The team planned for the next wave in computers
  and the result was a device-independent
  programming language code-named "Oak.

Java Technology Part 2

• In fact, its versatility, efficiency, platform
  portability, and security have made it the ideal
  technology for network computing, so that today,
  Java powers more than 2.5 billion devices
• over 800 million PCs
• over 1.2 billion mobile phones and other handheld
  devices (source Ovum)
• 1.65 billion smart cards
• plus set-top boxes, printers, web cams, games,
  car navigation systems, lottery terminals,
  medical devices, parking payment stations, etc.

Duke

• Duke was originally created Joe Palrang to be the
  "agent" for the Green Project at Sun. Duke became
  the Java mascot when Java technology was first
  announced, right around the same time that the
  first Java cup logo was commissioned.
• Duke is the friendly mascot of Java technology.
  As the embodiment of the platform that's running
  on 2 billion devices, Duke is everywhere!

13
Mozilla

• Netscape Navigator was just another name for
  Mozilla back when it was first getting started.
  The source code named Mozilla soon became their
  visual icon which eventually transferred into
  being their common name.

14
Mozilla

• The mission of the Mozilla project is to preserve
  choice and innovation on the Internet.
• We are
• The producer and provider of the award-winning
  Firefox web browser and Thunderbird e-mail
  software.
• A software development tools provider.
• An open source community of developers and
  testers.
• A partner for the technology industry.
• An advocate for standards on the Net who provides
  tools for developing standard web content.
• Educators, providing educational materials about
  Internet technologies and software development.

15
Explorer vs. Mozilla

• Mozilla is faster which enables it to run better.
• It downloads its own protection options to make
  surfing the internet easier with little or no
  distractions.

• Internet Explorer is integrated with windows and
  has many problems.
• Internet Explorer uses ActiveX which causes
  loopholes in the system.

16
OpenOffice

• OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and
  multilingual office suite and an open-source
  project

17
OpenOffice

• OpenOffice has three main categories that it
  composed of
• Incubator- Community Sponsored Projects.
• Accepted- Technical and Non- Technical
  Projects.
• Native-Lang- Native Language Projects.

18
Netscape Browser

• Netscape is another way to surf the world wide
  web. Netscape is competing with Internet Explore
  but it still has different features to offer its
  users such as Profiles, a security center, real
  time feeds and many other things.

19
Conclusion

• I agree that both Open Source Software and Java
  Technology vital assets in the technological
  industry and by these two programs contributing
  together in different and similar ways they help
  to improve our PCs and other devices for the
  future.
