QOTD:
In your last week of school reflect on what you are proud of this year? What was an academic goal that you accomplished? Was there something that you did not accomplish that you hoped or planned to? What got in the way? What is a goal that you have for your finals or next year?

VOTD:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form that permits users to study, change, and improve the software. Some open source software is available within the public domain. Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. The term open-source software originated as part of a marketing campaign for free software.

Intro: We don’t need to spend a whole bunch of C.R.EA.M. to have access to software. Instead, open source software can make your home computer into a powerful production studio! This summer can be very productive! Make your own movie on your camera phone. Record your own album with a $2 microphone! GetRDun.
