Open Source

I think that the open source movement is remarkable. To me it is the ability for a community to get together and share ideas, inventions and other things. This also includes the improving other's people previous works to make them better. To me the open source community is a way for growth and trust that will lead to a high rate in technological advancement. I am attracted to the idea of constant improvement. I am also attracted to how it is easy to find new fun, new things to print and how willing people are to share what they have created. I am somewhat worried about the people I cannot meet. I think it is very easy for people hiding behind screens to ruin people's works, but I am glad that is is not very relevant among the open source community. I really enjoyed building my Jellybox printer and becoming part of the open source movement. I had a very fun time putting it all together and felt a great sense of pride when it was put together and when it worked. I am not sure where i will go with it in the future, but i hope to get to the point were I can build my own parts and create things that other people may want to use.
