3rd Blog

On the first of the camp, I was prepared to deliver my open source presentation but somehow I got nervous. It has been a while since I got in front of people and talk. But I was surprise that the campers were asking questions and really got involved. Its summer and these kids could have been hanging out with their friends or go to the beach. But, the fact they show some interest into learning more about Open source or technology in general was just amazing.


I really don’t know how it was going to or really what would happen on the first day. But I think that they had fun and everything went really well for the first day. They were paying attention and asking questions. But most importantly, they were getting involved. They showed a lot of interest into what we had to say and all the information we were feeding them. But really it all came down to the end of the day when we brought out the robot which they were amazed of how it moved and talk. Some of the camper really got up and close to the robot and some interest into it. But over all for the first day we did a really good job.

2nd Blog Post

This week has been so crazy and so much things going all at one time. I just feel like it. Last night I have finish putting together the Power Point and the training template for the open source. I have shifted the way I wanted to tech the student of Lexington One about open source. Since they are still in high school, maybe this would kind of open up an ideas as to if they wanted to get a degree in technology because there are a lot of companies out there that are looking for IT peoples. But there isn’t enough.

I also want to talk about why they should care and how would they get involved. I don’t know how much information on open sources that these students know, but I am also learning myself as I have been researching in these few days. About a lot of things out there are open source such as phones to hardware, it is not just all software.

1st Blog

     This is my first blog. I don’t know what to say but here it goes. So I am doing a blog on open source. I have been looking around online for information and I have notices that companies have been paying more attention to open source. Back then there seemed a real danger that Microsoft would extend its monopoly to servers. It seems safe to say now that open source has prevented that.

     The biggest thing business has to learn from open source is not about Linux or Firefox, but about the forces that produced them. Ultimately these will affect a lot more than what software they use. We may be able to get a fix on these underlying forces by triangulating from open source and blogging. As you've probably noticed, they have a lot in common.

     Like open source, blogging is something people do themselves, for free, because they enjoy it. With open source or blogging, people just produce whatever they want; the good stuff spreads, and the bad gets ignored. And in both cases, feedback from the audience improves the best work.
