Learning activities
Activity 1 (group): Identify a project
- Identify open source products that some/all use (preferably smaller than Linux!) Choose two to evaluate as potential targets
- Discuss general areas that you are interested from in the humanitarian area (do we have a list?) Are there any that are interesting to all? Search for open source projects in this/these area(s) on github and OpenHuband choose three to evaluate as potential targets, make it up to one evaluation per student.
- Combine the results of the evaluations and come up with a ranked set of candidate projects. If none of them are good enough the loop again
- Find relevant user and dev information channels (mailing list/slack channel/google group/stackexchange) and join
Activity 2 (in pairs): Read the documentation
- Preferably work on different architectures
- Find the source of the documentation. Make sure you understand the format and practice making a change on a forked version
- In pairs, follow the documentation to install and run, using an example given. Once you've mastered it, make a video and screenshots of the process. If there are any errors/omissions in the documentation, correct them in your forked version
- Combine any documentation corrections into one repository and submit a pull request of the changes
- Link your screenshots into the docs and submit a pull request of that
- Publish your video(s), link them from the docs and submit a pull request of that (independent of the docs changes)
- Do the same thing for the build process
Further activities that could be developed
- Write a review/blog post
- Write an example/howto, with screenshots
- Find the forum(s) and answer some questions
- Comment a section of code
- Lint the code, or do some other static analysis
- Find an open bug and investigate it.
- See if you can reproduce it (if not suggest that it be closed)
- Write down instructions for reproducing on as many architectures as you can manage and add detail to bug report
- Write a test that diagnoses it and submit it as pull request
- Run a test coverage tool, write tests for areas of code without coverage
