Sara Roman is an Associate Professor at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She is teaching Operating Systems and Computer Security as part of the Computer Architecture Department. She has also been teaching Ethics and Law for the past 4 years, that is also a part of the CS Degree curriculum, and has developed an interest in FOSS and Free Culture movements.

She is part of the Advisory Council of the Free Software Office of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and has started to tutor FOSS projects for Grade Final Projects, contributing to CONSUL application being developed by Madrid Town Council to promote direct democracy.

She is also collabotarating with Unidad de Igualdad de Genero of the UCM organizing events to make women in Techs visible and to encourage young female students to engage in Techs. She has recently joined the Wikimujeres group in Spain as well.

Stage1 - Part A - Intro to FOSS Project Anatomy

Guided Tour (work in progress)

   Contributions

SugarLabs would be very suitable for the students in Ethics and Law course as thay have already done workshops to teach programming to children in schools as Social Impact Poject. They would be users, and from that experience (which they loved) I would encourage them to become translators, educators, content writers or developers.

   Tracker

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 hat 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

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.

Stage 1 - Part B - FOSS Field Trip

(work in progress)

  Part 1 - GitHub 

1. Go to: https://github.com/ 2. Use the Search feature on the top right next to the Log In button to search for educational applications by placing the word education in the search box and click Search. 1. How many repositories are there in this category? 13,373 repository results 2. Click on the first project. Click on Graphs, then Commits. What information does this page provide?

I found contributions of people in this project from most recent to older ones, for both branches in the project. There were 28 commits. Graphs shows contributions by people during the lasta year.

3. Go back to the main page and use the Search feature to look for humanitarian applications. Type the word humanitarian in the search box and click Search. 1. How many repositories are there in this category? 300 2. Locate the HTBox/crisischeckin project. When was the last update? 04/22/17 4. Use the Search feature to look for disaster management applications. Type the phrase disaster management the search box and click Search. 1. How many projects are there in this category? 150 Keep this browser tab open while you move onto Part 2.

  Part 2 - OpenHub

Education: 10 x 347 projects

KDE Education is now the third result. Code Locations: says 23 locations, and all of them are on GitHub Similar Projects: there are 10 Information OpenHub provides about the project: 54.172 commits by 538 contributors; 928.274 ines of code mostly written in C++ very large development team, a well.established project estimated 253 years of effort first commit: May 2001 most recent commit 2 days ago

Perform searches for both humanitarian and disaster management.

       How many projects were returned for each search?
       Click on the Activity icon. Why do so many projects do not have activity information available? 
   Click on Organizations.
       What information is provided on this page? 
   Search for OpenMRS.
       When was the last commit for OpenMRS Core? 
   Go back to GitHub and search for OpenMRS Core.
       When was the last commit?
       Why do you think these sites have different information? 
   What would be the benefits/drawbacks of using both GitHub and OpenHub to search for a project?

Stage 1 - Part B - Project Evaluation

Evaluation Factor Level (0-2)

Total Score: 13

I also found that: https://openmrs.gitbooks.io/developer-manual/content/en/ does not exist

Stage 1 - Part B - Introduction to Copyright and licensing

1. Identify the license for the following projects:

   https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-core  --- Mozilla 2.0 Free   comfortable
   https://github.com/apache/incubator-fineract --- Apache 2.0 Open comfortable 
   https://github.com/regulately/regulately-back-end ((c) by default) not very motivated to contribute

2. Go to https://tldrlegal.com/ . Look up each of the above licenses. Identify the “cans” the “cannots” and the “musts” for each.

3. For each license, state whether you would (or would not) be comfortable contributing code to that project and why (or why not).

Stage 1 - Part B - FOSS in Courses 1

This work is the result of a very nice discussion with User:Marcos with whom I share an Ethics and Law course at CUM:

The contents of this course deal with Social and Ethical issues in Computer Science Professional Practice. Our students have to develop a Social Impact group Project as part of the course. We encourage them to participate in a FOSS project and we think that any of the HFOSS projects we are reviewing are very suitable for them.

   We believe our students could participate in the following activities:

Activities related with their programming background (they are in their last year of CS):

a) Diagnose a bug

b) Test a beta or release candidate

c) Fix a bug: for very motivated students only

d) Report bugs

e) Run usability studies

Non-technical activities in which their technical background is very valuable:

f) Suggest new features and options

g) Build a glossary of technical terms (already done projects like this)

h) Package the application for a particular Linux distro (or other OS)

i) Read relevant standards and make sure the program follows them

Non-technical activities that we believe they would enjoy to collaborate with:

j) Translate the documentation (and program text) to another language

k) Correct spelling and grammar mistakes in documentation – Check the information pages in Spanish

l) Submit graphics (icons, backgrounds) to use in the program: for very motivated students only

m) Provide training to new Linux users (already done projects like this)
