Mozilla Developer Days

This past Monday and Tuesday my school hosted the Mozilla Developer Days. Since I didn't have any classes on Monday, and only 1 class on Tuesday I thought it would be a good idea to go, and I'm glad I did.

Being new to the open source world, this was a good opportunity to talk to people who have a bit more experience then I do. I met one of the creators of Songbird. He mentioned in his presentation that when he started working on the project and initially felt overwhelmed with it all. Since I felt the same way I thought he'd be a good person to talk to. He re-assured me that it is fairly easy to jump in and start coding. There is a lot of documentation on the internet to help out plus you can always find people on IRC.
