INTRODUCTION
Meaning of open source software Open source software is a software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees. Open source code evolves through community cooperation. These communities are composed of individual programmers as well as very large companies.

Operating system is the program that after being initially installed into the computer by a boot program, manages all the other program in the computer. Therefore, open source operating system mean a set of operating system that source code is available to manage or modify all the other program in the computer for user¶s activities. 2.2 i) Example of open source operating system` Linux ± the latest Linux is updated on 22 November 2009.

THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE
3.1 Meaning of open source application software

Open source is used by the open source initiative to determine whether or not a software licence can considered open source. Application software mean all programs that perform specific tasks for users, which include word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation e-Mail and Web browser software. So, open source application software mean open source initiative to determine the programs that perform specific tasks for users and the source code is available for download and anybody can modify it and release subsequent versions of the same provided version of the source using which they modified.

CONCLUSION
Open source software can we determine the meaning to computer software for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that meets the open source definition that is in the public domain. Open source hardware is defined as, ways to collaborate in hardware development, as well as a model for sustainable development. Pervasive computing is the result of computer technology advancing at exponential speeds -- a trend toward all man-made and some natural products having hardware and software. Pervasive computing goes beyond the realm of personal computers: it is the idea that almost any device, from clothing to tools to appliances to cars to homes to the human body to your coffee mug, can be imbedded with chips to connect the device to an infinite network of other devices. The goal of pervasive computing, which combines current network technologies with wireless computing, voice recognition, Internet capability and artificial intelligence, is to create an environment where the connectivity of devices is embedded in such a way that the connectivity is unobtrusive and always available.
