Intro to Foss Project Anatomy
The Sugar Labs Project
Contributions that can be done by our students
Developer
In my opinion, our students can contribute to the project as Developers as they can work with C, JavaScript, Web App development and GNU/Linux system administration.
Designer
This can also be chosen by students as they already have a course in their syllabus named Computer Graphics in which they would use their C/C++ programming skills to implement Graphics and Animation in their labs. So, they would feel motivated to learn and use additional vector & raster graphics tools required for this role.
The similarities could be the possibilities for the students to use their programming skills as both developer and designer but as the roles are different, outcomes may also differ.
Tracker
General Process of submitting a Bug
If you find a bug or would like to report an issue with Sugar, visit https://github.com/sugarlabs and look for the activity or a sugar component repository that you think is relevant.
If you don't know which one to use, use https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar, and be sure to sign up and sign in to Github.
Then visit the issues tab of the repo, and hit the big green button to report your issue.
If you haven't written issue reports before, here's a great guide: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
Types/Categories of Tickets

The Sahana Eden Project
Sahana Eden is an Open Source Humanitarian Platform which can be used to provide solutions for Disaster Management, Development, and Environmental Management sectors.
Community
To contribute to Sahana Eden
Developers, Testers, Bug Marshals, Newsletter Report Writers, Documenters, Translators, Designers, SysAdmin and GIS Specialists.
The roles that would be most applicable for my students are:
1. Developers 2. Testers - 3. Designers- This requires skills like CSS and HTML as pre-requisites and they have a subject named Web Technology and Cyber security in their undergraduate course in which they use HTML and Javascript.
Tracker
The information on Sahana Eden Bug tracker page is more then that of Sugar Lab page as the bugs are assigned keywords like easy, sandy easy which makes it suitable for new developers to tackle. Moreover, Column and filter component is also added in this bug tracker page.
Types/Categories of Tickets
The types are: enhancement and defect/bug where priority is minor, major and trivial

FOSS in course 1
1. In this semester, I am going to teach Software Project Management to 7th semester students in which they are dealing with the theoretical aspects of software management activities like planning of software development lifecycle, project tracking, effort estimation and scheduling (PERT and CPM scheduling), Quality planning and risk management. So we can further extend it by introducing them to practical approaches by contributing in HFOSS project.
2. Students can contribute to Sahana-Eden project as they can work as a Graphic Designer, Developers and Testers. This requires skills like CSS and HTML as pre-requisites and they have a subject named Web Technology and Cyber security in their undergraduate course in which they use HTML and Javascript.
3. Moreover, they have also studied a subject Computer Graphics in 5th semester in which they have already worked on Graphics and Animation using C programming language. So, I am going to encourage my students to take up the role of Designer.

FOSS in courses 2
Directions
Recalling your list of activities/topics from FOSS in Courses 1 (Instructors), identify the ways that these FOSS activities/topics can be structured.
Possibilities include:
1 Lectures
2 In-class activity
3 Homework
4 Stream of related activities
5 Project
6 List the revised activities on your wiki page. For each activity/topic:
7 Identify some possible learning outcomes that should be fulfilled with the activities/task.
8 Describe any prerequisite knowledge needed to complete the activity. This does not need to be a complete list.
9 Estimate the time required for instructor prep, for student completion and elapsed calendar time. Are you going to have to synchronize your activity with the community or can the activity/topic be covered independent of the HFOSS community schedule.
10 Think about possible input required from the HFOSS community. How much input is required and what kind?
11 If the result of the activity is contributed back to the HFOSS project, describe the contribution and its usefulness.
12 Describe the assessment/grading approach - What will the basis for grading be? Will this be a team activity or individual? Is there a role for the HFOSS community in helping assess student work? For instance, must the work be committed or otherwise accepted by the community?
13 List any questions or concerns that you have about the activity/task.
14 List any stumbling blocks or barriers to carrying out the activity/task.
