What's the news for this week?

Here's our assignment. We have to get into groups of as many people as we want, but try keeping it small because if there are a lot of people then Mr.Case will mark your assignment harder! You and your group have to come up with a topic for a podcast that is interesting, people would actually like to watch it, and something you can update every week or month. Once you've done that, you need to make a page on the wiki about the podcast your going to do so that everyone would be familiar with your podcast and have a general idea of what its about. The goal is to have the best and most popular podcast which will get you really good marks, and also be interesting and original.

We also talked about open and closed sources. An open source is when someone makes a program and you are able to go into the program, with a password or code, and be able to change the context. But with a closed source, you can not mess around with the program. And you cant see how its made. You can visit http://web.sourceforge.com/. It is a good example of an open source, because anyone can go into sourceforge and change stuff around. Usually sourceforge is a reliable site to download programs from because it is open for everyone to see the program, so if there are any viruses on it, others can see it and remove it or fix it.
When you download a program, you need MP3 and compress your files into smaller zip, when saving.

That's about it for now. :)
