This is my HFOSS home page.

Some things about me. I'm a sociologist, I teach at Lehman College, I coordinate data science at Lehman, I have a crazy amount of github repositories. Currently my main open source work is maintaining two R packages, skimr and qcoder. In the past I was a contributor and maintainer for the Joomla CMS.

My website is elinwaring.org.

Guided tour responses

The Sugar Labs Project (http://sugarlabs.org/)

Read the information found here to get an overview of the goals of the project and the latest news. You will be asked to answer questions and to make observations. Your responses should be placed on your wiki page.

Contributions -- Read the Getting Involved page which describes the roles of various contributors to SugarLabs. Note that there are a variety of different types of contributions that may be made by people in different roles. On your wiki page:

• Summarize the roles that you think would be most applicable for your students.
• What are the commonalities across roles? What are the differences?

This is really going to depend on what kinds of students I get. For example I think that it's unlikely I will have students who are designers (although you never know) but documenters and other content writers are possible and developers are definitely possible. I like the tone of these descriptions and the way each one is an umbrella for a number of possibilities. IT worries me that so much of the wiki content is from 2009.

Tracker -- An overview of the Sugar Labs bug tracker may be found here. A specific query on the Sugar Labs bug tracker can be found here. On your wiki page:

• Describe the general process for submitting a bug.
• Indicate the types/categories of tickets listed on this page as well as the information available for each ticket.

Repository -- https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/ Click the "Commits" link and determine the date of last commit (an update of the repository).

• Record the date on your wiki page.

The Sahana Eden Project (https://sahanafoundation.org/eden/)

Read the information found here to get an overview of the goals of the project and the types of contributions one can make.

Community -- In the section titled Want to Contribute to Sahana Eden?, you will find a list of ways in which one can contribute. Again, you will note that there are a variety of distinct groups, each with a distinct responsibility. On your wiki page:

• Follow the links to each of the groups listed below and summarize the information you find there. For example, are there any commonalities? Is there something distinct for each type of contributor? How is this structure different than the one you found on the Sugar Labs website?

Tracker -- The Sahana Eden bug tracker can be found here. Place your answers to the following on your wiki page.

• How is the information here different than the information found on the Sugar Labs tracker page?
• Click the Active Tickets link. Indicate the types/categories of tickets listed on this page as well as the information available for each ticket.

Repository -- https://github.com/sahana/eden Click the "Commits" link and determine the date of last commit (an update of the repository).
