Current Event 3

https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/introducing-accelerated-mobile-pages.html

Open source projects still make huge changes for users in our day. Google has announced an open source framework called Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). According to the article, the framework would use existing web technologies to help developers create faster mobile webpages. This change could be revolutionary for especially those who don't have fast internet like we do here in the Untied States. I find it great to see a big company like Google releasing projects under the Apache License. If this idea becomes successful, it will improve the experience on the internet for many users. Projects like these are some of the advantages to the open source movement. It gives the community a chance to help improve their fellow community members. We will see in the near future though if this movement will last. This will likely depend on if Google continues to support this project.
