Three (or is it two?) weeks late but better late than never. I've finally gotten my blog setup for the DPS909 course. Sort of kicking myself in the ass for not having done this sooner and spent the rest of that time trying to get PHP to run on my machine to use wordpress when all that time I could have used blogger.com which turns out to be so much more easier to use but whatever .
Anyways quite a bit has happened since the start of this course up to now. I managed to get in touch with Chris De Cairos and get the details on what I need to get involved with the Popcorn.js project a couple of weeks ago. I've setup my account in Lighthouse, IRC and Github and I managed to fork off a copy of the project from Anna. A few days later, I hesitantly got on IRC in an attempt to get a ticket to work on. I got a chance to get in touch with both Dave Seifried and Anna who sent me my invite to the Popcorn.js project at lighthouse and walked me through choosing my ticket. I managed to get assigned to ticket 559 which deals with handling a bug in the slideshow player.
Admittedly, besides looking at the ticket details when I assigned myself the ticket on Wednesday last week I haven't had a chance to look into the details on what needs to be done as I had to deal with an assignment due that Friday in another course. I do however plan on spending the rest of this week focusing on and working on this bug I've been assigned. I've spent quite a bit of time on modding forums and talking with the open source team on IRC doesn't seem to be much different and is something I am comfortable with though I am apprehensive of the level of skill and knowledge required to work on this bug.
