Q-->

in open source software,user have the option  to manipulate the source code and to use it.

let me consider an example of morzilla firefox.the source code of the same is in html.whether i should learn basics of html?

if i do some manipulation in the source code,it may lose some of the links.that will be a problem for other end users like me.rite??

ack:

I want u to know these terms:

snapshot

stable releasr

development release

Hope u ve visited these :

Also know about Linux open source package, try to discover 2 more such open souces apart from linux n firefox :)

Kannel SMS gateway is also an open source. Nokia Qt is also open. make a thorough study. 

See through the things as a developer, as if u r coding or developing something out of these softwares..!! :)

Hints:

Important and basic discussion on open source.UBUNTU is an open source operating system.
please check this URL:www.ubuntu.com/project/open-source

Q:

I had visited all the links of IBM company.there is no provision to manipulate any of the data or links in its official website.Data hiding and providing security is the basic objective of that company i guess.as a end user i can't access all the information of the company.there is a seperate IBM login and password provided only for the IBM trainees and engineers.IBM is declared as open source,but there is no option to change the data or links to it.
     Guide me as soon as possible for my next proceedings..

A:

'm sorry u r moving in a wrong direction.

Do:

Check Android OS (o.source).

Dont try to modify the OS programs..! :)

Try to know how Open Sources 'l be updated (snapshots/stable releases)
How u can upgrade ur version of the osrc to the latest stable release version.

How to use this Osrc for software development.

Hope this is helpful.

Dont try IBM and microsoft sites.!

Good work :)

Q:

Meaning of SDK starter package in android os??
Android os is constructed under linux platform rite??

A:

SDK stands for Software develpment kit! :) Think u can proceed further.

Yes, Android's mobile operating system is based on the Linux kernel.

Pl visit the wikipedia of "Android". whatever u ask at least check the wiki!!

Please avoid such simple questions. Try to question these to google!!

Got to know the concept of stable release.The new stable release of google chrome is Chrome 12.0.742.91,it is updated by new features as well.but there is a UI bugs in its stable release version.It has got a OS tracker by the name chromium-os bug tracker.correction of these bugs and updating it is quite tedious i guess.
 I'm just thinking about UI bugs.not getting correcting those bugs process..need ur help rite now...just guide me as soon as possible...
