11. 11 Lessons Learned The Good The Bad Anyone can modify CARBLogger. We can extend the functionality to meet almost any purpose. This takes a lot of time and can introduce bugs. Any user can update the operating system. Any user can update the operating system! We store the source code on SourceForge. This allows point and click script installation, review, and change management. Our change control software can be buggy for the developers. Hardware requirements are relatively low. You could end up repurposing older PC’s which should be replaced. California Air Resources Board AMTAC 2011
