However, most of the projects I use are too big for me to contribute to. I then decided to search for other open source projects that I could contribute to and that I could use if I was aware of their existence. That's how I found the Sorting-Algorithms-Visualizer project on GitHub. It's a project made in Python (this was a technology I was already familiar with) and I could use to help first year students understand sorting algorithms during my tutoring sessions. + +## Data about the project +- Date of creation: 21/08/2020 +- Maintainer: Lucas Pilla Pimentel (Recently graduated Computer Scientist from the University of São Paulo (USP)) +- Communication: Directly on GitHub via issues and pull requests +- Decision process: The maintainer is the only one who decides if a pull request is accepted or not +- Number of contributors: 38 (39 with me) +- Number of stars: 421 +- Number of forks: 164 + +## The contribution +I've added a speed option to the visualizer. This option allows the user to choose the speed at which the sorting algorithm is executed. I've implemented this feature as a delay (from 0ms to 100ms) slider, as the maintainer requested in the issue I've opened, that the user can move to change the speed of the visualizer. + +## Diary: + +| 21/09/2024 | +|-----------------------| +- Check the open source projects I use that are not linked to UCLouvain : Anki, OpenBoard, Overleaf, Python, Python packages, ... +- Realise that those projects are too big for me to contribute to +- Search for other open source projects that I could contribute to and that I could use if I was aware of their existence + +|-----------------------| +| 27/09/2024 | +|-----------------------| +- Found a project on GitHub that I use and that I could contribute to : Sorting-Algorithms-Visualizer + + +|-----------------------| +| 28/09/2024 | +|-----------------------| +- Analysed the project source code and I've opened an issue to suggest a new feature : add a speed option to the visualizer + +|-----------------------| +| 8/10/2024 | +|-----------------------| +- The maintainer of the project hasn't answered my issue yet, so I decided to contact him via email +- He answered to my email and he assigned me to the issue + +|-----------------------| +| 10/10/2024 | +|-----------------------| +- I've started to work on the issue and I've opened a pull request + +|-----------------------| +| 11/10/2024 | +|-----------------------| +- The maintainer of the project has reviewed my pull request and he asked me to make some changes + +|-----------------------| +| 12/10/2024 | +|-----------------------| +- I've made the changes and I've pushed them to the pull request +- The maintainer of the project has reviewed my changes and he accepted them +- My pull request has been merged
