IPC144 VS telescope

Reviewing two PRs from a classmate is one of the duties for this project. The PRs, as well as my reviews, are available here and here. Both of the PRs I reviewed were really well-written and detailed, with very few mistakes. It was interesting to observe how different people approached certain changes, such as adding a svg file.

And the reason why the web-only artifacts is still appear on the PDF page is because the --excludeSelectors option is not implemented enough. I have to add .clean-btn to the --excludeSelectors, the purpose of this is not to include the "On the page" artifact in side the PDF page. This is the final source code I have implement for this improvement and my pull request

Issue #113

PR

As for this pull request, the code review went much more smoothly, with me having to only make minor changes to ensure that it would not cause any errors when built.

2. #issue-107

First thing in my mind, I ran into an existing project of my school that I had a chance to make a pull request before. The project is about a website of course notes of Introduction to C Programming. I thought that it was interesting that I can implement a useful thing for future students in my school. I filed an issue to say that the website only has the course contents right now, I wanted to implement more pages that contains assignments, workshops and course outline. Unfortunately, the owner told me that these contents like that would be provided to students in other way (Blackboard), not on public website anymore.

Issue #113

In the repository of the new website, I had created the request for this feature. You may read the issue to understand what might be the next steps, but I am going to explain it here too.

In a previous post, I mentioned working on an issue for converting raster images to SVGs. This week, I did some research on the tool recommended in the issue, SVGCode, as well as other popular tools and in this post I will be discussing some of what I learned after trying them out. For the tools that I tried, I wanted to find something that is free and easy to use, while still creating high quality SVGs, as there are a lot of images to convert. (Disclaimer: I'm pretty new to working with images and image editing software so I'm probably not using all the right terminology here, but I'm trying to learn!)

Sattelite for the back end

There are a few places to start with this, one is that we have an issue in Telescope that relates to what I think is the session no longer existing in certain situations that results in a 400. This will give me an opportunity to take a look at Telescopes auth flow. I still am kind of unfamiliar with Telescope despite having been in the last OSD course. I know that we use passport SAML in Telescope however and in the new project we will use a different library called SAMLIFY.

The project is currently in the planning phase, and being part of the development team, I have been researching ways to add relevant bits of Satellite in the Remix Blues Stack project, we intend on using for Starchart.

It's been a year since I was supposed to work on Telescope for a class. When the war in Ukraine started in February 24th, 2022, I almost fully stopped contributing. Now, this year I am trying to do more, even though it's not my class anymore. Because I wish that I did more back then.

Task This week, I try to revisit my setup for running the Telescope project, a single page website that aggregates blog posts.

Making the slack bot announce signups issue was fun to work, despite the technical difficulties with the e2e tests, when I got close to getting my PR merged. One cannot always rely on technology, as occasional downtime is inevitable.

My final contribution to an open-source project this year was enabling the existing Slack Bot to announce signups when a new user successfully creates a Telescope account.

Seneca-CDOT has many amazing open-source projects to which students are actively contributing - telescope, my-photohub, vscode-extension, and so on - and from those options, I chose to work on My Photohub as I found the idea of storing a picture on a GitHub repo very innovative. It was also a new project and I wanted to be among the first time contributors.

https://github.com/Seneca-CDOT/telescope Telescope as the project of the project that's collectively created by Seneca students, I feel that I'm very much obligated to make as much contribution as I could to it. In addition to this, since I spent a lot of time on this project during Release 0.3, I've already gotten more experience with this project, which means that I might find it easier to work on this project than start working on a new project from ground zero.

For release 0.3 of my course in Open-Source Development, I was tasked with reviewing two PRs to any of the Seneca telescope or IPC144 repositories.
