Jon "maddog" Hall :

--Why Opensource ?
--Opensource ... Openness is more than software/source code its Open hardware, open document, easy learning and more !!!
--Problems ! : Image rendering , searching , data mining, Virtual reality ... more.
--Folks using Opensource are having more real knowledge, Students who setup lab is knowing more ...that is real experience. !
--Try to grab Fundamentals of computer science, Not any particular language "Speciall Java" but learn how Computer works, Try to Hack machine lang.
--19 yr old president, 15 yr old kerneld dev., 11 year old super computer programmer
--These folks are same as you ! Why not to study more, Digg more Software !
--More Advocacy of opensource ! :)
--Well-meant misconeptions "Teach Java, and Teach microsoft" "Teach specific Product"
-- Summary
-How software works -- Exchange of Research
