==Introduction==
For my class in open source development, I was tasked with attending the Free Software and Open Source Symposium (FSOSS) conference in Toronto Canada, and reporting on 2 of the talks that I viewed. FSOSS is a collection of talks and workshops about new, upcoming, and current projects from members throughout the open technologies communities about how they are shaping the future of multimedia (including web, video and education), what projects they are currently working on, and other technologies.
The conference took place between October 27th and 29th of 2011 and the Seneca @ York and during that time I attended several of the talks, but the two that stood out for me was a presentation by Eben Upton on Raspberry Pi, a a new 25$ computer, and on by Neson Ko and Pascal St-Jean about TikiWiki, a robust and powerful wiki option for open source development.
Though I enjoyed all of the talks that I attended, the two aforementioned presentations stood out for me as I felt that they both hit home with the values I hold highest for open development.
