Choosing FOSS Project

Today we went about discussing and ultimately deciding upon an FOSS project to work on during the course of this semester in Object Oriented Design & Analysis. It was interesting to see the various ranges in opinions regarding the choices in projects. After much discussion, the final verdict was ultimately made through a class-wide vote. Some of the options for FOSS projects included: Firefox, Sage, Eucalyptus, LibreOffice, and VLC Media Player. Voting was done through each student listing their preference from highest to lowest on a piece of paper. The top choice on each ballot was then sorted, in which Eucalyptus came out on top. After sorting through the remaining ballots, Eucalyptus was ultimately the receiver of the majority of the votes. Therefore, the FOSS project that was decided upon to be worked on during the course of this semester is Eucalyptus.
