Peer Meeting #2

This is for the meeting a week before. I should write down it sooner next time ; ) Now let me just jot down something to reflect the development of my topic.

My initial idea of the topic “open source” was focusing on the community. However it was too broad as a thesis. As a result, I did not have a clear form plan and could not find similar projects.

During the peer meeting, I threw the question out and received a lot of useful feedback.

The most thoughtful one is “What if there’s no open source”.

With the question in my mind, I was thinking back to why I chose this topic.

Obviously, as a coder, I have different feelings about software compared to non-coders. I want to express that feeling. This is the starting point.

In addition, the feeling comes from the code works behind the software. There are infinite possibilities with the source open. Without it, these software makes no difference to other goods.

So here was a narrowing of my topic, or a little change: from “open source” to “express my feeling of open source.”
