Sugar Labs Project Review

Roles applicable for my students include developer and content writer.

Commonalities across roles: It appears like all roles require participants to perform some type of pedagogy and communication. Educators explain and clarify complex ideas, content writers use their technical knowledge to provide documentation, a people person uses his/her people skills to create awareness about this project among people and encourages them to participate. Developers communicate by writing code, and a designer communicates via images and other state-of-the art graphics tools. Translators communicate to provide the technical knowledge to people in other languages.

Differences between roles: The methodology of implementing pedagogy and communication varies in each role.

In order to submit a bug, one needs to go to the correct Github repository. Then click on the Issues tab. The button called “New Issue” on the Issues tab should be used for logging a new issue and then clicking the “Submit New Issue” tab submits the issue.

The type of tickets include defect, enhancement, and task. Each ticket has a ticket number, summary, status, owner, priority, and milestone.

The date of the last commit is April 29, 2018.

The development team’s roadmap is updated at the beginning of each release cycle by the release team.

Sahana Eden Project Review

The Sahana bug tracker has a number of categories . The categories include active tickets, active tickets by version, milestone, by owner, recently fixed bugs, old bugs, etc.

The types of tickets under the active tickets link include defect, documentation, enhancement and task. Other information associated with each ticket includes the summary, component, version, priority, owner, status and date created.

The last commit was on May 4, 2018.

The releases page provides information about the various released versions, number of tickets for each (active and closed), and key features of each version.

FOSS Field Trip

Part 1- GitHub

2.1. There are 20,378 repositories in the "education" category (retrieved: May 27 2018) 2.2. The Insights page of the first project (timjacobi/angular-education) shows the commit activity for the entire year as well as for a specific week.

3.1 There are 396 repositories in the "humanitarian" category (retrieved: May 27 2018) 3.2 For the HTBox/crisischeckin project, the last update was on April 22, 2017

4.1 For the "disaster management" category, there exist 229 projects (retrieved: May 27 2018)

Part 2- OpenHub

2.1 For the "education" category, 2260 projects were returned. 2.2 For "KDE Education", none of the projects are on GitHub. 2.3 There exist 10 similar projects 2.4 OpenHub provides the following information about the project: project summary, code data, SCM data, community data

3.1 Number of "humanitarian" projects returned = 21. Number of "disaster management" projects returned = 30 3.2 Several projects do not have activity information available probably due to very few contributors or the lack of activity updates posted.

4.1 The organizations page provides information about the newest as well as most active organizations. Information such as number of projects, affiliates, commits, etc is listed.

5.1 The last commit for openMRS Core was in Feb 2018

6.1 The last commit for openMRS on GitHub was on May 22, 2018. 6.2 The commits information on both sites differs probably because OpenHub is not actively updated.

7. OpenHub provides an index to the available repositories. GitHub provides a repository where code and other data can be stored. However, lack of synchronization between information on the two sites can be a drawback.

FOSS in Courses 1

Identify activities or topics that you are interested in within your HFOSS project of interest:

Coding

Documentation

Bug fixing

Project Evaluation

Activities for a Computer Networking and Security class:

I found some useful activities which can be used (the Tor project) https://research.torproject.org:

Data collection

Analysis

Measurement and attack tools

Novel attacks and defenses

ID - An identifier assigned to a specific bug Product - Name of the product that the bug is related to Comp - The component that contains the bug Assignee - The user to whom the bug is assigned for resolution Status - Indicates if the bug is new or re-opened, etc.. Resolution - indicates if the bug has been fixed or not (will not fix, obsolete, etc). Summary - gives a short description of the bug

Identify the order in which the bugs are initially displayed: Bugs are initially displayed decreasing order of bug ids

What is the meaning of the colors used when describing a bug (red, gray, black)?

The importance level.

Select a bug that you think that you might be able to fix and look at it more closely (click on the bug number).

No recent discussion after having been reported

Is the bug current?

Yes

Is the bug assigned? To whom?

Yes, to Control-Center Maintainers

Describe what you would need to do to fix the bug.
