This module (4) our cohort was tasked with contributing to an open source project. My contribution was two new Fakers for the Faker Gem. The main one was the Venture Bros faker. It consisted of characters, vehicles, organizations, and quotes from the show The Venture Bros. I created a readme, added a toooon of characters (every single one I could find...like Boggles the Clue Clown!), and tested it. Apparently, typing out a zillion characters by hand is not advised because I was rejected by Travis twice due to syntax errors in my character list. The other Faker I created was the Umphrey's McGee faker. They're my favorite band and have over 280 original songs so I figued it'd be a good one to add due to variety. Travis also hated me on this, finding the errors in close to 300 entries was...tedious. The issue that I tried to replicate was a guy having trouble getting the coffee faker to work. I was able to get it to work without issue and mentioned that in a comment....which I promptly deleted after a guy posted right after me that it was a version issue. Next time I'll have to look harder at something before I make a stupid comment like "it works". Overall, I enjoyed doing this and wish I had a little more time to work on something more substantial.
