Hacktoberfest Part #2 (2nd PR of release 0.2)

Next week of Hacktoberfest and second PR of release 0.2...

Hacktoberfest is going on and our task for this week is to do a second pull request to one of the repositories on GitHub.

Pull Request #2

For the second pull request I decided to take some web project because I feel confident in html, css and javascript. After researching I have found the repository where the owner asked to develop a simple form just to practice and for future use I guess.


After looking through the code I have found out that the code is little messy and some css code are in the html file as an inline declaration. I decided to fix these small problems and created an issue.
After fixing the code I created the pull request.

Waiting my code to be merged will take some time I believe because repository seems to be not touched for 9 days and maybe author thinks it is dead right now, but I am planning to improve this form a lot in my future pull request because I know that some programmers often struggle with forms in html and this repository will definitely have the chance to help them.

Release 0.3 - PR2

Internal project - Seneca Blackboard Extension As I mentioned in previous blog post, for this release I had a chance to become a maintainer of the internal project and its repository - Seneca Blackboard Extension. After creating the basic file structure from “refined Twitter” extension example we started to work. As a maintainer of the repo I needed to control the issues and pull requests, but it was challenging. One of the reason is a couple of collisions - some people started to work on the same issues and I decided to create the rules for contributing to the repo, to avoid such collisions. The main rule of our repo is:  " FOR THIS REPOSITORY IT IS MANDATORY TO CREATE ISSUE OR COMMENT UNDER EXISTING ISSUE BEFORE CREATING THE PULL REQUEST." (CONTRIBUTING.md) After creating the rules it was much easier to assign issues to different students and accept pull requests according to the rules. Closer to the deadline of the Release 0.3 I faced the other problem that many repo

Release 0.3 - PR1

Beginning of the internal project For this release I had a chance to become a maintainer of the  internal project and its repository - Seneca Blackboard Extension. After creating a repo on GitHub, our team decided to develop an extension for Google Chrome, then we filed around 15 issues(we had 2 types of issues - new features/design and deleting useless parts), created the basic file structure from “refined Twitter” extension example and started to work. As a maintainer of repo and student of DPS909 I needed to do both sets of tasks - maintaining a repo and contributing to code.
