Week 2 in the World of Open Source

This is my second week working on this open soure project openVUlab and everything is so new to me. I feel like I am playing a brand new video for the first time and all I want to do is get further and further into this game or open source development. This enviroment is getting better and better as I progress. As time goes on you grow to understand the project in and out. Furthermore there is always room to provide add ons or extension so your never afraid to add an idea. Also its not like a normal job where everyone is competing to with one another all your teamates are all working towards the same thing you are and welling to help every step of the way.  The meetings are nice and relaxed deadlines are comfortable and reachable. With all this fun and relaxation some would think projects would never get done but the team soo passionate about working hard omn this project everything gets done. Open source development will be stream in computer programming I 100% would like to be apart of.

With the media saying and stock markets saying that Research in Motion and its stocks of decreased signifcantly . The Blackbery Messgenger couldnt have happend at a worse time with the talk of the new iphone coming out in late November  most blackberry users are thinking of switching companies due to blackberry lack of innovation and faulty software and hardware issues. The new blackberry 9900 was a big hit but was it big enough according to the stock market.

Is the NBA Lockout going to end soon?

NBA Commioner

It is looking as thought we are not going to have an NBA season this year with players like Kobe Bryant and Lebron James Planning on going to Euope to play basketball. Will they be able to comeback half way through the season if the sign a contract with these overseas teams?
As the lock out starts its 4th month it seems like the NBA commisoner is not trying to negotate and stands firm to his believes that players and NBA are getting paid to much and teams are going over there salary cap7
Some players have negated to take 40-60% of there salary just maintain the Status Quo but that doesnt change the commissioner mind that the NBA is becoming a place where all the good players are stacked on 1 team while the mediocre players get stuck with the below average players .
Altogether NBA and the players associaton needs to figure out a deal because owners and dedicated fans(like me) are not getting full season tickets worth
