O’REILLY ?
TIM O’REILLY
Referring to Open Source FREE software:
"The future is here. It's just not evenly distributed yet."
I recently came across that quote from science-fiction writer William Gibson, and I've been repeating it ever since. credit: by Fuzzy Gerdes - Flickr.com

TIM O’REILLYMr. M. thinks that O’Reilly’s comments are perfect for the state of Open Source software and for the future of video on the Internet.
So many people, whether in our industry our not, don’t see the future yet... but give them time they will.

MM 462Exploring Open Source Applications
Excellent opportunity to excel in an area you are interested in using all or partial Open Source software.Animation, photography, programming, web-related, video, audio or writing - you name it, you can do it in MM 462 with some help from Open Source applications.
MM 400
Freelancing Business Management and Law
Why?
FreelancersWorking for companies
Summarized from Statistics Canada 2003
Understanding Copyright Law is not optional in the Multimedia Industry.
We will use a “Myth-Busters” approach to what is true and what isn’t. We will substantiate everything we learn with legal references.
A lot of what you think you know may be flat out wrong - i.e. it is OK to have just a few notes of the Beatles on my site, or if I modify that photo, then it is mine.
“Hey Mr. M., I didn’t like that copyright course, but it sure saved my butt a few times.”
MM 218
Creative Programming II
More focused than MM 118 - many improvements, thanks for your surveymonkey comments.
Student should have a great application for portfolio/reelafter completing this course and do things no one thought possible just a year ago.
