+## The Videos We Watched 
+
+The Videos we watched we very interesting. Tidepool seems to be all about
+openness and transparency, which are definitely big parts of the open source
+philosophy. However, they don't seem to emphasize community involvement as
+much as many of the other open source projects we have looked at. For example,
+when we did project evaluations, we looked for things like issue trackers, 
+community forums, codes of conduct, and contributor guidelines. It doesn't seem
+like Tidepool would have many of those. Instead, their main focus is the transparency
+aspect - not only is their source code public, they try to provide openness in
+every aspect of their business. 
+
+In my opinion, this is okay. Not every project will necessarily benefit from 
+open source contributions. But Tidepool is still applying open source philosophies
+to their project, and in doing so providing much needed trasnparency in the very
+personal field of healthcare.

+## Working on Our Projects
+
+The main thing I did for the Bitwarden project was making a comment on an issue.
+One user complained about the behavior of a feature, and I concurred that the name
+of the feature was a little unclear; I then suggested that the behavior be modified or
+the name changed to more accurately reflect the behavior. In the end, the Bitwarden team
+decided to change the name. I was going to offer to make this change, but I figured that 
+the team would want to decide on the name themselves. So, next week I will be looking for
+a new issue to submit a PR for.
