== Major Project ==
== Newsgroup Summaries ==
Mark Dsouza D'Souza and I are summarizing the [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Mozilla.dev.quality Quality] Newsgroup on a weekly basis. We will alternate each week. == Experiences ==For the D-Bus project, I will have a separate link on the main project page about my experiences, problems, etc... I will talk about my overall experience here. First, I should describe what my interpretations of open source were before this class. I am a typical Windows desktop user. I use UNIX, UNIX-like, or Linux operating systems for programming related assignments, my personal home network, and at my part time job. I never really thought of using open source tools to build desktop applications. The lectures from the Mozilla crew and the D-Bus project have helped me see an alternative in my career. I never thought there would be a job for me in open source, nor did I think I would be interested in working in open source.  Something I value in open source is the community, energy, and passion for these projects. The reason why I wanted a career in software is the ability to create and design (this was back in high school when I took gr. 12 comp sci). Over the past few years (at Seneca), I've come to realize most businesses have deadlines, project features, etc... that can not be compromised for your interest in learning or creating something new. I adjusted to that fact, but ever since I've been apart of this class I've felt apart of the creativity and passion for what I do and enjoy come back again. My suggestion to all students is to join an open source community. Find a project that might be of interest to you and listen in to the community. It can't hurt to try.
