Open Source

Nothing really remarkable this week, except last night. My aunt's computer has been having problems, so I brought it home. I need to play with it a bit more, but from what I can tell now, it's toast.

Tonight was the first general interest meeting for the newly forming CU Open Source Group. The group will be, oddly enough, developing code in the open source community. Many programmers at CU have already been involved with open source projects, but the group's founders think that CU should assert itself as a reputible open source leader. There's a small website already up, but it looks like it's still under construction right now, not much to look at. http://cuopensource.org/

I'm thinking about getting involved, because I'm really interested in learning the methods and etiquitte of being involved with the open source community, and because it's a chance to do some production-level code and not just trivial class assignments. On the other hand, I don't really have much time to spare these days. Maybe when I get back...
