=== Conclusion ===In conclusion, I was pleased with the presentations that I viewed at FSOSS 2008. Having been the fist symposium I have ever attended, I selected presentations that I hope would keep me interested. Focusing on Track A and Track B, I visited a multitude of interesting discussions and topics ranging from Copyright Bill C-61 to Mozilla Security to developing C# with Mono. My personal view on open source has improved post FSOSS 2008 because I discovered just how much of a dependency successful open source projects rely on the community through feedback and contributions. It is in essence, the fuel that drives the vehicle and without it, the vehicle is moving nowhere. I had a great time and look forward to more in the future.

These opportunities enhance intellectual growth and provide information and knowledge beneficial towards everyone who is involved in the community. The Open Source world is an open community and the fact that anyone can assist and contribute is a fascinating aspect. Understanding the issues and opportunities inherent in open source is the first step in using it effectively to deliver maximum value towards one’s project and community.
