Hello everyone! This is just a quick post to say I’ll be writing periodic blog posts for both CS-443 and CS-448 this semester. I’ll be looking forward to writing for all of you. Feel free to also browse any other topics I’ve discussed and past classes I’ve written for as well!

One thing that I liked about the website is the content under the vision and mission subheadings on the Libre Food Pantry About page. I like and find it interesting that it both teaches and helps the community by enhancing computer science education while providing free software for local food pantries. All while showing that free open source software can be used for social good and help society. The new website is easier to use than the old one and looks better as well. The layout looks cleaner and it is easier to find things. I find the switch for changing night and day mode in the top right corner useful/enjoyable.

Hi everyone. Alex here again with another intro, this time for CS-448 Spring 2021.

As previously mentioned on this blog, I will be working with the LibreFoodPantry project to develop FOSS software for food pantries.
After reading through all the documentation and information available on the website (https://librefoodpantry.org/#/) and taking a look at the redesign of the website (https://librefoodpantry.gitlab.io/website/) for the project, something I found helpful was the linked information regarding FOSSisms (https://opensource.com/education/14/6/16-foss-principles-for-educators). Being new to working in FOSS development, it was beneficial to learn about the various principles associated with FOSS project development.
Specifically, the idea that contributors should “Ask Forgiveness, not Permission” was helpful for me. As someone who can sometimes be a perfectionist, I tend to not want to publish something if I feel it has potential to derail or cause problems with other parts of a project. I will strive to consider this idea as I make contributions.

I just wanted to make this quick post about the Agile values posted in the LibreFoodPantry about section. This sections focuses on defining the principles that will be used when developing this site. I chose this as these values might not be what people traditionally associate with software development. For example,”Individuals and interactions over processes and tools,” show that, despite this being a lot of programming, there is more to keep in mind than just clean and functional code. To be a successful software development team must be able to collaborate with your client to make working changes when necessary to ensure they receive exactly what they want.
On a bit of a side-note, the new design for the LibreFoodPantry looks great! The user interfaces is very clean and I always love the addition of a built in dark mode function.

Hello again!
In case you have not seen my previous introductory post, my name is Mike Mendes and I am a, now, senior Computer Science student at Worcester State with a focus on Software Development and Mathematics minor.
This time around I will be writing blog posts both about my work on a portion of the LibreFoodPantry project, in addition to some posts about the book Apprenticeship Patterns. I am not exactly sure what part I will be working on but am excited to begin!
