Project Review Assignment:
- Sugar
My students would be more suitable to work as developers.
The commonality across roles would be "communication." The difference is how they communicate.
Submitting a bug for Sugar would be starting from the GitHub repository, searching existing one, or create a new one in the issue page.
Issues are labeled as bug, design, feature, needs SLOBS, and needs work. Each issue has assignees, labels, projects, milestone, and participant.
At the time of my access to the repo, the latest commit is on Apr 29, 2018.
Roadmap is updated at the beginning of each release cycle.

This project has more roles than Sugar. Due to its specific feature, this project has GIS specialists. Also, it seems this project has more interest in quality, so it has testers and bug marshals.
Unlike Sugar, tickets of this project are organized into different categories.
In each ticket, it has reported by, owned by, priority, milestone, component, version, keywords, cc, due date, launchpad bug, and description.
At the time of my access to the repo, the latest commit is on May 4, 2018.
On the page of roadmap, one interesting thing I find is that there is a </BODY> shown on the page. :-)

FOSS Field Trip:

2. Click on the first project. Click on Graphs (Insights), then Commits. What information does this page provide?
