Week 8: Reflection on the reports made by other groups
Reflection on Other Groups
During the presentations this week, we noticed that many groups are still in the process of setting up their development environments. This seems to be a common challenge for students who are contributing to open source projects for the first time. Some groups mentioned that the setup process can be quite complicated. For example, the group working on Oppia said that they need to use Docker to run the development environment. For beginners, learning how to use tools like Docker can take some time, but it is also an important part of real-world open source development.
About Our Group
Our group is also currently working on setting up the development environment for our project. One interesting situation is that most of my teammates are using Mac computers, while I am the only one using Windows. Because of this, we sometimes need to check whether the setup process works properly on different operating systems. Although this can create some extra challenges, it also helps us understand how development environments may behave differently across platforms.
