Hactoberfest is very competitive

Release 0.2.1...

To be honest, this, looking for a task in the open source about Hacktoberfest, is very very competitive and it turns out so stressful.... Is it only for me?

First day of October, I tried to research bug by the way that I learned from OSD600 course, with below command.

As you can see, it seems very popular. More than 14,000 issues are wait for you~ but actually there are so many developers working on the open source world, which means that by 30minutes issues come out, most of them make comments. Although, you have been commented by the first, it doesn't mean you will take the job. PR is actually a real competition.

Language also very important. Javascript is the most popular language in this Hacktoberfest and Python follows as the second one.

As my professor mentions that the first issue doesn't need to be difficult or code issue since there is a lot document or css issues but it is actually more competitive. To avoid this terrible competition, I tried to comment like that I would like to take this issue.. However, it actually make me more not confident. I really didn't have time to look at the project first, and just made the comment. After that, I realized the issue was too difficult for me so I said sorry~ I don't know what to say...

Finally, I found one that I could fix which is about adding LICENSE. I feel not happy to be honest since it was not an issue. However, it is true that I got the experience to make PR to a repository that I have never met. Hopefully, this experience helps other people who have not experienced about open source yet.

Getting more difficult?

Release 0.2.4 Now I am at almost the end of release 0.2 and I chose the telescope as the final contribution. To be honest, this is huge, well organized and great project and it is first time to take a look. Unlike my previous assignment during the previous terms, there are tons of what I have never seen. First, docker compose is great and the document for contribution is very clear. Of course, I had no idea when read it first, but every time as my professor mentioned, there was a great guy, helper?, helping me a lot to set up the project. Although I had no idea about Elastic-search and Redis-cache server, I was happy to take a time to look though the codes and to understand. Again, trying to understand an issue is always hard for me and sometimes I am really not happy when somebody does not understand my question. This happened again. The reason why I attached the picture is that I am still confused about the whole process of this project especially about why frontend didn't get ...

Finally, release my first open source.

Starting... This lab is to release my product to install easily. Instead of cloning or downloading and setting it up manually, it provides a lot of convenience for users to install it. I chose NPM since I used nodejs. NPM is a great site to help develpers to release their git repository in the site. Progressing... First, I signed up on npmjs.com and logged in the site on the console to release my repository. I had to set up a lot of things like 'npm init', modifying readme and package.json to be ready. Second, I tried to release my repository by the command, 'npm publish --access public'. Unfortunately, the name, http-parser, was already taken, so I needed to change my name. I chose my name as http-checker and tried to release it again. At this time, I got 403, forbidden error. I spent a lot of time to figure out but it was actually due to not verified account. Once I got the verified email account, finally, I got the release version of my repository. Here is my...

Elastic search and more

Release 0.3.1 Now it is time to learn what is Elastic search since the chosen issue is about adding more fields for our model in telescope. This is very new for me so I was very scared when I started to work for this but now I think I am more confident. First, Elastic search is such a great supportive database especially for index search. The good thing is that it is not only the index search for whole value but, partial keyword as well. Of course, it may be wrong since I also just started to study it. Anyway, It was very careful when I read codes one line by one. Following the official document , I tried to add some fields, but it made some test failed so I needed to fix them. The below content is from the official document: Mapping edit Mapping is the process of defining how a document, and the fields it contains, are stored and indexed. For instance, use mappings to define: which string fields should be treated as full text fields. which fields contain numbers, dat...
