Changes

=In Closing=

Going from an open source user and abuser to very recently an open source developer my views have changed quite a bit. By user and abuser I mean someone who did completely understand what open source meant, entailed, nor really appreciated the free software I use every day. Without Filezilla, Zen Cart, Magento, Firefox, Vuze, and way more my life would be a lot less exciting and a lot more challenging. I did not have the appreciation for open source that it deserves before entering into the open source development course at Seneca. My appreciation quickly started to grow as it was brought to my attention that people all over the world are connected through one common piece of software and the limits on this one piece of software are endless when you open it up for all to see. Listening to Hoye and Mandel speak only confirmed and strengthened my views on open source.
