The LibreFoodPantry is one of the most interesting projects I’ve read about. The mission and goal of this project speaks for itself. It is supposed to cover a plethora of goals, such as bringing clients, users, and developers together to maintain or complete various humanitarian project, as they explain. Not only that but these projects are put together so that instructors can expand or enhance computer science education and experience. It is also worth noting that these projects are apart of (FOSS) free and open-source software, so any developer can jump in and modify the software as they would like. The mission of this organization is very wholesome and goes to show how computer science education can be used for the greater good. The Thea’s Pantry, a food pantry for the Worcester State University Community  is one of the projects that is taking initiative to stop hunger that is happening with in Worcester State. The “User Stories” tab in the git repository for the project, explains how the entire project works. Basically, going to into detail of the whole process. What the would happen if a guest approached Thea’s Pantry, what information the staff members would need from you and how the information will be used with in the system when taking food or donating it. This information is key when it comes to knowing what the software intends to accomplish when it comes to Thea’s Pantry.

Hello everyone! This semester, I will be starting my blog off talking about two food pantries: Libre Food Pantry and Thea’s Pantry. Libre Food Pantry is an open source project that computer science students and any one else who is interested can contribute to. What I found interesting while browsing the Libre Food Pantry website was their mission. It is really great that the computer science community has come up with a way to have computer science majors practice developing projects that may be useful for a good cause, the good cause here being supporting food pantries with free software. This way, the CS majors can feel that they are both learning through developing the software and supporting a good cause at the same time. The fact that this is open source is also great news to me because I am a big supporter for things being open source. After looking and reading through the Thea’s pantry documentation page, I found the Architecture page particularity useful because it shows the inner components of Thea’s pantry. The plantUML diagrams show how these inner components work together in the software. The user stories were also interesting to look through since it gives developers insight on how the website is supposed to be used, and they can use that information to improve certain areas of the software.
