1-1 Meeting #2

I had a good meeting with Sarah on my Friday night.

I explained my topic development from “open source community” to “representing the open source code”. Because the term “community” is too abstract for me to make a project. But I also wanted to know what if I want to make a project about the open source community.

Sarah gave an angle to consider it: using more specific words to describe the project. For example, the project describes/explains/creates/visualizes open source communities.

At present, I am considering developing a machine to depict the underlying code of software. However, I am concerned that this idea may be too narrow in scope for a thesis. Then we delved deeper into this topic during our discussion.

When coding, I have a mental model that resembles crafting a handicraft. I shared this idea with Sarah, who found it intriguing and suggested that I consult other programmers about their mental models. I believe this is a valuable approach as I haven’t come across any discussions on programming at this level before. I can also consider which mental models I can provide to best represent open source projects.

Additionally, we started considering other possible angles, such as extractive economy versus circular economy/regenerative economy, which I hadn’t previously considered.
