Welcome to Vijey's Page

My Name's Vijey; I am currently in the seventh semester of BSD and enrolled in DPS909.

Lab Notes

• The diff file that was generated after the changes were made to tabBrowser.xml.
• The changes were made to open a new tab in between tabs rather than having it opening at the end like it usually does.

FSOSS REPORT FOR DPS909

Introduction The two talks I decided to write about which I attended in the FS0SS 2007 gathering were Benjamin Smedberg’s Open source code review and Mike Beltzner’s talk on Designing for and with a community.

Benjamin Smedberg's Open source code review Focusing on the first talk that I attended; Benjamin Smedberg’s key main reasons behind code reading were as follows: 1. Identifying Bugs 2. Identifying and implementing features 3. Creating documentation or revising documentation that is available for the code 4. Understanding how the code works 5. And the last and according to Mr.Smedberg the most hardest part of it all; keeping track of the patches or understanding what patches have been done on the software by other people in the community
