Free Software and Open Source Symposium 2011

Written by: Hyungryul Chun (ID:066606096)

Date: 11/4/2011

Course: DPS909

Introduction

When I was first told that I would need to go to FSOSS for DPS909 because we need to write a report on the symposium, I felt devastated. I liked open source and I definitely like free software, but I wasn’t sure if I liked the idea of giving up good chunk of my reading week, when most of the week would be already used up finishing up major assignments and studying for the business midterm which was scheduled the first thing after reading week was over. So what is FSOSS? Well, as the name suggests, it is a symposium for free software and open source. People gather to listen to other people talk about free software and open source topics… great! But, what can I, as a student who does has barely experienced real world programing by contributing to the popcorn.js project, gain from going to these seminars? How can I relate myself to those who is living and breathing open source? Would I even be able to understand the kind of things they are talking about?
