The firstflight assignment seems to be an introduction into some of the culture of FOSS. It asked for an introduction, which I split apart into a seperate blog here

IRC

IRC is something I used to use a bit when I was younger, mostly to talk to other people who enjoyed playing pokemon on a popular website. SO, getting back onto it was a throwback, but not difficult. The name ref has been with me forever, so that was an easy nick. The class IRC is reachable via a browser, but I downloaded hexchat anyway to feel more official..

Email

I believe that we all got an email regarding joining the mailing list outside of this assignment, but I have a bad memory and a habit of deleting possibly important emails (a very destructive combination, I know). SO i’m pretty sure I’m good, but my sleep deprived brain has minor doubts..

Blogging

This, hello! Welcome to my blog. I looked around for easy ways to get a blog up and running on github and found Jekyll, and I must say, it’s pretty nice. Just write some markdown in a file and push it to my github and voila.

Forge

I’ve had a github account for a while, though I don’t use it much to be fair. I added an avatar, using some graffiti I found on campus that I thought looked interesting.

Course Project Patch

For the last part, I forked and cloned the hfoss github. I copied another students yaml file and just edited it to make it my own, then committed and pushed. At the time Of writing, I have not yet done a pull request, but soon.
