Open Source Project

Summary

In order to take this course, one must have completed the previous Open Source course. Instead of completing several PR's for different repositories, this time around the class would be more like a work environment. The class is essentially structured like an internship where everyone in class is a junior developer for Telescope. Telescope is a blog aggregator started by the same class a few years back. I worked on it a little bit in the privious course, but this follow up course had me getting much more involved.

Similar to the previous course we had to write a blog every week in order to convey to the professor what we have been doing all week. My blogs can be found here.

One of the goals the professor set out for us in this course was to take ownership for a part of the project that you would like to see implemented and ensure that it happens. I was really interested in learning more about Docker and one of the pressing matters that needed to be addressed was creating a new image registry for the various Docker images to be stored and served from. My final blog of the semester goes into greater detail about what exactly that entailed.
