## **Open source operating system**
I have been using Linux for many years (started in 2016). It's an OS that I use every day and that has become the OS I use the most.
## **Motivation and contribution**
I was looking for a tool that would allow me to easily create a QRcode containing the identifiers of a wifi network. So I found a project allowing to create easily QRcode from the wifi to which we are connected. In the PR of the project was a proposal to add a feature to list the known wifis but the proposal was blocked by the fact that the implementation worked only for windows. So I decided to make a PR of this PR to add support for MacOS and Linux.
My PR was accepted by the person who made the feature proposal. So we reopened the initial proposal to add a list feature.
## **Lessons learned**
With my contributions, I learned :
* It's easier to contact the owner with a mail than waiting a github interaction.
* We are often not the first to have an idea, look in the Pull request to avoid the headache of redoing the work that someone had already done.
* It can also help to unlock the work of others
## **Conclusion**
Participating in an open source project was not a first for me. But I have a certain satisfaction to have been able to help a project, especially since it served me well personally.
# **My Book**
In class, I've presented the book ***Animal Farm***, By George Orwell.
