Four models of software evolution

| For starters, âUbuntu is an operating
| system built by a worldwide team of expert
| developers. It contains all the
| applications you need: a web browser,
| office suite, media apps, instant messaging
| and much more. Ubuntu is an open-source
| alternative to Windows and Office,â as
| www.ubuntu.com informs.

| Beginning with mobile Linux, Professional
| Ubuntu Mobile Development
| (www.wileyindia.com) covers topics such as
| power management, application development,
| packaging, theming, kernel fine-tuning,
| testing and so on, all aimed at developers
| interested in `a practical, hands-on way of
| learning development on mobile devices.'

|
| The Mendel Model (named after Gregor Johann
| Mendel, considered the Father of Modern
| Genetics) is about `best of breed'
| outcomes. Linux-based distributions are
| careful, selective, scientific, and
| personalised works of many people
| individually `breeding' their own
| distributions, write Lawrence and Belem.
|
| Enrnst Mayr, the evolutionary biologist
| whose work `revealed the intricacies of
| adaptation and multiplication of species,'
| is the name behind the third model, because
| his work `harmonised and connected the work
| of Darwin and Mendel.'
|
| Mayr's theories built bridges rather than
| walls, the authors find. The third model is
| about the coexistence of diverse Linux
| distributions.

| There is a famous story of the Stone Soup,
| where many free ingredients came together
| to make an amazing finished product. Lest
| you think itâs just a fable, Red Hat and
| Ubuntu do exactly thatâtheyâve combined
| major open source projects such as Linux,
| Gnome, Apache, Firefox, Thunderbird,
| OpenOffice, and MySQL and built major
| businesses from them.

| One of America's most famous scientists and statesmen was also astute enough
| to understand the value of the free flow of ideas. Although an inventor of no
| small acclaim, his inventions for the most part were freely shared for the
| benefits of society, yet he still made his way in life richly and was both
| socially and financially successful.
