Open Source - What's the fuss all about?

There was a time when open source was mistrusted and seen as software developed by someone living in their mother's basement. That is a big difference today, when companies are paying their employees to work in open source communities. So, what is open source all about? Why do developers and users all over the world love it so much? Why is developing in open source communities so much fun? Is open source code as good as or better than proprietary code?

Why not join us where we will tackle these and other tricky conundrums. We will look at the background and the history of open source, describe what defines an open source project, show examples of open source software, and much more between.

Hope to see you all soon!
