After searching through many different open source repositories, I was unable to find anything that peaked my interest. I was struggling and was slowly loosing hope. However, one thing that kept on occurring was my ongoing PR fixes for my release 0.3 external project Meshery. My ongoing PR was full of reviews, and I was constantly making small changes based off those comments. That is when it sparked to me that this pull request was essentially what our professor was looking for in release 0.4, so I decided to do two things.

Most Open-Source projects have a contributing doc(usually a CONTRIBUTING.md file at the root of the repo) that contains all the necessary details on how to set up your development environment, coding conventions you have to follow and much more.

My first issue was This which was regarding the improper margins on the management page, a component/ui and framework/react issue :) Tbh, it wasn't a huge amount of work, I just had to fix the padding values of the component as shown below and I was good to go

Well, as we approach the end of the semester, here I am with my final blog post. For this week, I focused on finishing my Release 0.4. As my previous blog posted mentioned that for week 3, I would continue my work on Issue-605. Since my first part of release 0.4 was working on introducing a Legend into the same repository (on top of reformatting and fixing a lot of the page that the legend lived in), I picked up issue-605. There were a few enhancements that were in need of changes, which included removing a footer bar which lives right below the email subscription input fields. The second issue was regarding the color of the subscribe button in the hover stage. Image for reference: Footer Issue Hover Color Issue

For release 0.3 in DPS909, we had a few parts that we needed to accomplish in the assignment. This blog post will discuss my experience with contributing to an external repository. The repository of choice was Meshery.
