→My views and Conclusions
=Comparison of Speakers Views on Open Source=
From what I could tell, Adrien (the OpenCL speaker) is all about open source, and Kevin (the MongoDb speaker) seems to really enjoy the community of open source. Adrien talked a good bit about how software patents are a terrible thing, and that programmers won't go much further if we are always competing against each other. Kevin didn't really go into much detail about open source. From what I could gather, it didn't seem like he was for it or against it.
=My views and Conclusions=
For me, I wasn't really much interested in open source going into FSOSS, and I still am on the same boat. I don't really have anything against it, I just don't like the way the model works. I believe that to have a high quality product, the best way to ensure that is to control as many of the variables as possible. In open source, while you don't have to accept peoples code revisions, you are relying on random people to fix certain things, and even if it works, the quality may not be up to the level you want. So all in all, I think open source is a fine thing, it's just not for me.
