Free Software and Open Source Symposium 2011

Introduction

The Free Software and Open Source Symposium (FSOSS) is an annual event where speakers discuss open source and free software projects and subjects that influence the open source world. The conference spanned 3 days from Thursday to Saturday. Thursday was when the workshops occurred; I attended the Processing.js workshop hosted by Jon Buckley and Dave Humphrey and then the Android Development workshop by Simon Chang. Friday and Saturday were when the presentations occurred. The presentations I went to were:

  • "How to start an Internet Famous Business with Open Source Software" by Mike Hoye
  • "Building a Commercial Game Using Processing.js for Cross-Platform Delivery" by Dawn Mercer, Jeremy Friedberg, Daniel Hodgin, and David Perit
  • "Free and Open Strategy as Practice: Participant Perspectives" by Mekki MacAulay
  • "A Slice of Raspberry Pi" by Eben Upton
  • "Introduction to the Google Android Platform" by Simon Chang
  • "When you cannot be there... Remote access and collaboration" by Raul Suarez
  • "How Web Browsers Work" by Ehsan Akhgari
