'''My Adventure with Open Source Development at Seneca College'''<br>
For my professional development, I want to find out how to teach and learn open source development. It is a privilege and honor for me to get ''immersed'' in the open source movement at Seneca. From '''January - April 2009''', [[User:JAnastasiade | Jordan Anastasaide]] has graciously allowed me to go alongside with his '''Eclipse Web Tools Platform (Eclipse WTP)''' class such that I may have ''first-hand experience'' on open-source development. I am excited about immersing myself in this culture of ''being open'' in fixing bugs. As suggested by Jordan, I am going to [http://pliu.wordpress.com/ blog] what I have experienced in this community as if I were a reporter on the field. What I have experienced for the last two weeks has already affected how I teach JAC444 and BTP400 this semester. Indeed I am using wikis as a teaching and learning tool for the first time in my teaching career... <br/>
I enjoy the experience of fixing a WTP bug. I'm glad to know that I have made a little bit of contribution to the the Eclipse WTP project.

Time flies. From '''May to August''', Jordan has again graciously allowed me to take part in his second Eclipse WTP class. As far as I'm concerned, the students in his Winter 2009 class ''have accomplished'' a lot within a course structure, bearing in mind that they started from zero. [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/DPS909_and_OSD600_Winter_2009_Eclipse_WTP_Summary] I'm looking forward to having another ''adventure'' with the Eclipse WTP student team. <br/>
Time flies again. I am now involved with exploring the '''Eclipse Linux Tools''' project. After inviting Andrew Overholt (Red Hat) to speak to the students in my Java classes (JAC444) on '''March 9, 2010''', I have created [[Learning Labs for Eclipse Linux Tools]]. Even though the JAC444 classes will be over by the end of April, interested students can continue with the activities in the Learning Labs. We will see how things are going to unfold...
Beginning with '''January 2011''', I have become an active member on the [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/NexJ_Express NexJ Express project team] at Seneca College. I am looking forward to working along with a student to tackle a sub-project called PostgreSQLAdapter. What's going to happen? We will see...
