= My views on open source=
My view on open source and after attending the presentations at FSOSS is that open source license is primarily aimed at developers while the closed source license is aimed at the end user. Open source is the best way for business like Spongelab to achieve greater penetration of the market. Open source is a good tool to promote a company's image. Since open source software is open, defects and security flaws are more easily found. Also open source gives great opportunities to students for experience and also it gives people a way to mold their favorite open source apps into exactly what they want in an application. Open source projects has given students like Daniel, David and Andor experience in the programming field which is not easy to get in the closed source. Everyone can be part of the open source community and be a part of the programming process as well. Thus open source is flexible and more reliable as it has a lot of independent programmers globally testing and fixing bugs of the software. I also learned from the FSOSS dragon game presentation that we can also make money with open source.
=Conclusion=
Overall, my experience with FSOSS presentations was amazing. At the end of the presentations we got to talk with presenters Andor and Daniel and came to know more about their projects. It was interesting to learn that an open source community can comprise of once person or a big team. Also, open source is not free all the time, and companies like Spongelab can make profit using the open source languages like processing.js. In conclusion, I learn that open source is a community for free thoughts and also a potential place for profit for a business.
