John Dang is a Software Developer. He enrolled in the Bachelor of Software Development (BSD) Program at Seneca College in the winter of 2006 and he will be graduating from the program in May 2009.

He was elected President of the Seneca College School of Computer Studies Windows Club for the school year 2008-2009. He plans on implementing a strategic structure that consisted of standards, procedures and guidelines to assist executives to plan, execute and evaluate events, and to manage and monitor member recruitment and activities.

He has enrolled in the DPS909 - Topics in Open Source Development Course for the current semester (Winter 2009) where he hopes he will learn the fundamentals to what may be the beginning to a successfully career in the Open Source Community.
