==My Views and presentation Comparison==
Based on the two presentations that I attended, I realized in Open Source you can start on a project in any direction you want with no guidelines on how you want to approach it. You have the tools readily available to use and you can decide how you want to use them. In my other classes I'm told I can only do it in one way, but in open source you are encouraged to use other peoples code as long as the code is not licenced. After attending the two presentations, I am currently interested in exploring these projects as well as other open source projects and start developing and continue contributing to the open source community even after I am finished with the open source course.
Both Presenters show how open source you can use the open source community to help you with what your looking for as long as they are not licenced. Both speakers appear to have similar viewpoints on open source. They both feel people should not be afraid to get involved in the open source community. Both talk about how the start up cost is a lot cheaper and you get help and support from the open source community whether its code contribution, bug fixes or feedbacks provided by the community.
