Eventhough MitrahSoft do lot of clients project works on tight deadlines, we are having interest & responsibility to do open source contributions too. Working on open source project will provide us more knowldge than working on regular projects. Already we explored & contributed to great open source ColdFusion CMS projects like MuraCMS, ContentBox and PresideCMS.
Recently we started "open source contribution hours" practice in MitrahSoft. In this practice, MitrahSoft developers will spent 2 to 4 hours per week to learn & contribute to the existing ColdFusion projects or will create supporting or new ColdFusion open source projects. We chose PresideCMS for "MitrahSoft open source contribution hours". As a initial step, we've analyzed the Preside platform's core functionalities & followed Contributor Guides to create PRs. We contributed to Preside with the help of GitHub and JIRA accounts to pick the tickets and resolved the issues, fixed the bugs and finally create PRs for the tickets.
After every PR creation, we waited eagerly for the response from the Preside core team. They have reviewed every PR and merged with the master with proper review comments.
Entire Pixl8 team have encouraged and supported us a lot to complete the tickets. Actually, we've started with 4 Pull Requests ( Details Here ) and now we've reached 40+ Pull Requests particularly in Preside CMS within a short period. We learned a lot on this preside platform contribution.
HTML5 Theme For Preside CMS
Apart from contributing the Preside core, We've also created and published a theme for Preside as an extension. We've used the HTML5Up arcana template to create this Preside theme extension. This is a free open source Preside theme. You can use this theme for your website or use it as a reference for developing a Preside theme. The theme will show you the basic practices of Preside platform, how to create objects, how to overwrite templates and etc. It's really a good starter template for the beginners.
Finally, We have got the opportunity to work together with Pixl8 team too. Yes, we proud to say that, we're one of the solution partner of Preside platform. MitrahSoft always glad to do more contributions for CFML community and enriched the team to achieve a lot in Open Source Contribution.
