Project name and homepage: ownCloud
Assignment
I would like to fix the bug https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/7461 in the open-source personal cloud solution ownCloud. ownCloud has an integrated text editor in the web interface. According to the bug report, when user uploads a text file and then opens the file and closes it, the upload tooltip does not disappear.
The communication with the developers about the issue and the merge request can be found here:
- Response from the maintainers on GitHub.
- Fix is publicly available in my forked repository
- The fix was tested by 3 other contributors and passed automated tests
- Pull request including discussion with other developers about the issue.
Other communication channels were IRC (for quick help with development environment and such) and email to send the contributor agreement. The issue has been fixed and one of the developers complimented for sticking with the guidelines and for a descriptive comment.
The fix corresponds to the chosen assignment from the beginning of the semester. The only requirement missing is the description of the contribution in the project documentation as this is a small bugfix.
