 ## My thoughts on open source
 
-I think open source is about the principles of freedom and that knowledge (in this particular case software) should be freely avaiable to all. Open source is a communtity where groups of individuals contribute to something that can become greater than the sum of its parts, and it's really amazing what has been created thanks to many people's passion. Advantages of open source is that it inspires contribution and creates a larger communitity sorrunding software, and vulnerabilities can be caught quicker due to the amount of eyes on the software. Problems are that because it's mostly volunteer work, sometimes projects can stagnate or be straight out abandoned. I've wanted to try contributing to open source, but I haven't gotten to do it. So hopefully this class will force me to do it.

+### Overview of the Week
+
+## Farming for the future
+* I've always had an interest in agriculture and food science, so it was cool to see an intersection between those and computer science
+* Most of the things I've seen seems to be more small scale thing though, so I wonder what are some steps they can take to scale their operations up
+* Expanding on the last point, I guess building self automated farming complexes might be the future as more and more farmers retire. This could be something I can contribute to in the future.

+## Class Disscussion
+* "Democratizing knowledge" is definitely the other one I had the most interest in, as I also strongly believing in removing the barriers to education.
+* As a programmer, I'm spoiled by the amount of free education that is out on the internet, and I hope that the barrier can be this low for other topics as well.
+
+
+## My Contrbutions
+* So far I've been going on open-source repositories and going to the issues tab to see if anyone had issues that I could help with
+* Though many issues are definetly out of my league, I have found quite a few poeple with basic issues that I could help with.
+* Earlier this week, I contributed my first edit to wikipedia. Though it was for a small article and I only added a few lines, it was nice to see that it's still up even after almost a week. 
+* Looking towards the future, I'm defintely going to continue doing what I've done before. But I've also been eyeing a few repositories that I could possibly contribute code to as well.
