Changes

To articulate, assess and describe my humble personal views on open source, I have encapsulated my findings into three core components of what I believe to be the essence of open source. '''(1) ''' Community '''(2)''' Innovation '''(3)''' Opportunity '''Community''':Having been exposed to the world of open source software prior to DPS909, my view has not ''drastically'' changed. I became familiar with the world of open source software with Linux, in particular, with [http://debian.org Debian], now my favorite operating system - [http://www.ubuntu.org Ubuntu]. Having ''used'' an assortment of open source alternatives, for mere reasons as not being able to afford propitiatory software, I felt it was necessary to ''give back'' to the small time developers and subtle communities. Having people courteously and respectfully help me out in time of need, I whole heartedly feel as if it is necessary to return favor - ''give and ye shall receive''. Personally, I enjoy helping people solve their problems in Ubuntu because they helped me.<br/>'''Innovation''':<br/>'''Opportunity''':Time & again it's OS that has lead to each new plateau in tech & thinking" -
