The reading on Cathedral and the Bazaar was a review for me from CSCI 392. It was refreshing to look back upon the numbered key points once again and reflect upon how they have applied to CSCI 362: Software Engineering and will, of course, apply to CSCI 462. Eric S. Raymond's comments on the importance of documentation, effective security (no pseudo-safety measures), great programming, the treatment of co-developers, and citing work from other contributors will forever remain an active effort.
Also, today the entire team had their first experience joining an IRC client and professional mailing list (listserv) for our selection of Sugar Labs. We decided to join the development listserv, and immediately after joining our e-mails were populated with around 12 messages concerning development of the Sugar 'Activities' and porting certain components to the XO laptop that this software adheres to.
