title: Week 11 - Video Reflection and Project Update
---

Reflect on the videos you watched about different industries' use of open source technologies, the reasons behind use of open source and the relationship between industry and open source projects. Also reflect on your group's progress on the project. Are there surprises in the project you selected. What has been the biggest challenge so far.

I thought that the videos were quite interesting. They did introduce me to some ways that opensource can be used. Banks for example can open up their software so that it is easier for their clients and other companies understand what is being used and make the integration + troubleshooting easier. This can result in more clients and more money, without any new investments. This can also result in people contributing to the software and potentially making it better. The fact that it is avaiable, does minimize the need for a big amount of staff that is responsible for troubleshooting and answering questions, so this is another positive. The film industry also made a good point that back in the day software was expensive and not widely available. To solve that projects like OpenEXR, Blender, and others were created and are now widely used in the industry. This has made it easier for smaller projects to be created without the prohibitive costs of similar proprietary software.
