For right now I have decide to try and incorporate both ideas into. I am currently working on a research project with faculty friend and we are using Google.docs (use of Cloud computing and definitely an example of ubiquitous learning) for educational students to communicate between the US and Jordan. I think I will gain a lot of information by just being involved with this project.
On the other hand I am also doing a number of presentations on OpenSource, possible attending an OpenSource conference in October, and I have chosen this topic for my "extra" project at work.
They do work together from the standpoint that they are free and they are software. OpenSource is just housed on the computer or server and cloud computing is stored on someone elses server. Of course one of the big differences also is that OpenSources has a lot of programers working on the design. There is a huge OpenSource community.

Welome to my HCI blog. Right now I am still trying to decide if I want to do Ubiquitous Learning with Mobile Computing and K-12 Students 0r How the OpenSource Community has Changed How Many View Software Choices (or something along those line).
Mobile Computing (including Cloud Commuting) continues to intrigue me. We ask our students to collaborate but don't always give them a way to do it. With iTouches/Phones, Data phones, Mini-computers we have a way of communicating virtually anywhere we are.
OpenSource also intrigues me. I attended an K-12 OpenMinds conference last year in Indianapolis and might possible attend again in Oct. It was an unbelievably rewarding conference. The developers were in all the sessions I was attending -- it was so important to them to learn what people wanted. In one session the presenter didn't show up so one of the developers took over and did a great job on sharing the program.
Guess I will need to decide -- feel free to share your thoughts on what I should do1
