I don't really know yet what sort of activities to gear a CS 1 student into, but I'm guessing that something like looking for issues that have been open for a long time, to see if they can be closed, is something they could do.  After a quick search, I haven't found anything tailored specifically toward freshmen or community college students.

Bio: I teach Math and CS (and an IT course here and there) at Nassau. I also play bass and Chapman Stick in The Yellow Box. We released our first album last year.

Guided Tour Responses

Sugar Labs:

Contributions: I'm not sure that our students, on the whole, could fill any of these roles. Occasionally, a student here or there would be a good candidate for Content Writer, or People Person, or Translator, and in later classes, hopefully some Developers, but not in CS 1.

Tracker: The general process of submitting a bug is to find the repo and hit the "big green button". There are defects, tasks, and enhancements.

Repository: The last commit was 2018-12-31 by quozl, in Docs.

Release cycle: The roadmap is updated at the beginning of each release cycle, and should include when the next freeze point and release will be as well as other information.

Sahana Eden:

Community: The categories of people are very similar, but includes some specialized tasks too, such as GIS specialists.

Tracker: The tracker is organized differently, by project, but contains largely the same information. Major ticket categories appear to be the same, but are then filterable by "component".

Repository: Last commit 2019-01-04 by nursix, to DRKCM, whatever that is

Release cycle: Either something is misconfigured, or they're really seven years behind schedule, with no dates set for any milestones past the current one.

Intro to Copyright and Licensing

OpenMRS: Mozilla 2.0

Fineract: Apache 2.0

Regulately: No license

I would be more comfortable contributing to something with a stated license, and Mozilla and Apache are both widely-known good FOSS licenses.

A note about B4: A better link for the first article is https://smartbear.com/blog/test-and-monitor/14-ways-to-contribute-to-open-source-without-being/

I don't really know yet what sort of activities to gear a CS 1 student into, but I'm guessing that something like looking for issues that have been open for a long time, to see if they can be closed, is something they could do. After a quick search, I haven't found anything tailored specifically toward freshmen or community college students.
