My Attitude on Open Source:

Sri Lanka is a 3rd world country that is suffering from poverty. So the people cannot spend much money on software for their applications. As a solution we can use open source software. As a programmer contribution to a world class software design is a dream for me. Now I have a chance for making my dream a truth with the Open Source. Because in Open Source software we can get source code out of it and make modification on it so that much more reliable. It make the product a good one as because more experts on dfferent areas contributing their knowledge on it. Also a student like me can read the source code and learn how the things inside of a software works.

All that things make my first choice "Open Source" software rather than going for pirate copy of software. In my machine i use Ubuntu for all the programming works, Apache tomcat 6.016, Glassfish, and newly i introduce my machine Apache Derby. Last year I use Red Hat and Fedora for "C-compiling". So one of my future ambition is to work on a such project.
