Bio: I teach Computer Science, manage a program of others who teach Computer Science, and increasingly work on public policy as it relates to technology education.
Responses to Stage 1A: Intro to FOSS Project:
- Sugar Labs Project: I am rather surprised to see how many opportunities there are to contribute to FOSS projects that are non-technical.
- The roles most applicable to my students would be Developers, although there's no reason why they couldn't also be Content Writers, People Persons, or Translators.
- To submit a bug, you would go to https://github.com/sugarlabs, find the most applicable category, and click the Green button on the Issues tab.
- There are 308 repos in the Sugar Lab Project. I went to the "turtleart-activity" and saw only three open issues/bugs, sorted by date.
- The information on issues/bugs consists only of the name of each issue/bug and the discussion thread associated with it.
- The last commit was made on Oct 24, 2018
- The Roadmap is updated at the start of each new release cycle.
- Sahara Eden Project: This project has similar categories as Sugar Labs. It seems like all of these FOSS projects have a need for documentation, testing, and translation as much as they do for software development.
- This FOSS project has much better organization of issues/bugs into categories, as well as very helpful information like priority levels and "status" to indicate if the issue has already been assigned to someone.
- The last commit was made on Nov 19, 2018
- The Roadmap consists of milestones - each with a name - broken down by category, and there are listed future releases for longer term planning.
Responses to Stage 1B: Field Trip:
- There are 24,620 "education" repositories in GitHub.
- Lists all of the commits with associated date.
- There are 458 "humanitarian" repositories.
- The last update was on October 24th.
- There are 415 "disaster management" repositories.
- There are 2,260 "education" projects returned in OpenHub.
- Although projects can be found with the Git command, they are not on GitHub.
- Four similar projects are listed.
- Other information about the project includes Lines of Code, Number of Commits, and Number of Contributors.
- There are approx. 30 projects for both "humanitarian" and "disaster management"
- There is no activity information available on so many projects because of problems with their code locations or other problems blocking Open Hub from collecting and analyzing code.
- Info on organizations includes: Most active, Newest, Orgs by 30 day volume, and Stats by Sector
- OpenMRS Core had commits as recently as Feb 2018, but I'm unclear if that is just the last time the code was analyzed. Also possible is 4 years ago.
- On GitHub, the last commit to OpenMRS Core was made 3 days ago.
- These sites most likely have different information because the developers migrated over to GitHub.
- Benefit to using both GitHub and OpenHub is increased discoverability; Drawback is publishing redundancy and version control.
Responses to Stage 1B: Evaluate a Project:
