As part of my Open Source course at Seneca College I am participating in this year's Hacktoberfest , "Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean and DEV. Hacktoberfest is open to everyone in our global community. To participate, four pull requests must be submitted to public GitHub repositories. You can sign up anytime between October 1 and October 31." One of my main goals for this course is to delve into the Open Source community and improve my C# / .NET skills, so I have chosen the following projects to work on: Winforms Winforms is a great tool that helps developers to build Windows-based UI's easily. "Windows Forms also provides one of the most productive ways to create desktop applications based on the visual designer provided in Visual Studio. It enables drag-and-drop of visual controls and other similar functionality that make it easy to build desktop applications." I have offered my help

My First Open Source Interaction Background As part of my Open Source course at Seneca College me and my colleagues collaborated with our small note taking projects so we could experience how the open source community works before delving into major projects. For this course this project is called Release 0.1, which involved collaboration with 2 different projects fixes as follow. Fix 1 -  https://github.com/robertbegna/my-note This web note taking app was already fully functional but its editable text area lacked a clear outline indicating where the users should type their notes. My fixes were added with a CSS file addition. The text area had an id so it made my changes easy to apply. My pull request is located on the following link  https://github.com/robertbegna/my-note/pull/7 Fix 2 -  https://github.com/a8a9a16/whiteboard This web note taking app was already fully functional but I liked the idea to have a few buttons so users could save whenever they w

Whiteboard - Note what you want with simplicity Whiteboard is a lightweight web app used to take notes, as many you might have seen around, but Whiteboard comes with no complicated features or menus, you just have to type whatever your note is and save it, that's it. How is Whiteboard built? Whitebord is a jQuery web application that uses Filer.js to load and save the note file to storage and Bootstrap for its minimalistic UI layout with panels. Why Whiteboard? Whiteboard has been created as part of a set of lab activities for my open source class at Seneca and it is published on github on the following links: https://github.com/brucremo/whiteboard - GitHub repo https://brucremo.github.io/whiteboard/ - Hosted version

Having worked with .NET and Entity Framework before, it came to my interest that newest versions of .NET Core and Entity Framework are open-sourced projects. Entity Framework is a powerful tool used on modern patterns on the cloud, especially on Azure. Entity Framework is entirely developed in C# and it allows your software to easily work with database data models on your code. It "abstracts" most of the code that would normally be required for data acessing and manipulation. I find this project interesting because it is used on many enterprise companies and projects, including the company I worked my Co-op on, so I am very excited to be able to potentially collaborate with it and help improve Entity Framework, since it honestly made my life and the lives of my teammates easier.
