Bio: Interested in FOSS

Sugar Labs FOSS Project

1. Students would be good as developers or translators.

2. Commonalities include clear, detailed explanations.

3. Bug reporting: 3.1. If you find a bug, visit https://github.com/sugarlabs and look for the relevant activity or a sugar component repo hat. If you're not sure, use https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar, and be sure to sign up and sign in to Github.

3.2. Then visit the issues tab of the repo, and hit the big green button to report your issue. Examples of issue reports can be found here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

4. Bug types/categories -- defect or enhancement. Ticket #, summary, status, owner, type, priority, milestone

5. Repository Date: Oct 24, 2018

6. Roadmaps include Release Cycles. Multiple release cycles will occur on a roadmap, as the product matures.

FOSS Field Trip

Part 1 - GitHub

2.1. There are 24,937 repository results when a search on 'education' is conducted.

2.2. Clicking on the first project, Insights, Commits, shows the frequency of commits for this project. The project I selected had no recent activity, therefore a straight line (baseline) was presented. Year and week activity was (not) visible.

3.1.There are 462 repository results when a search on 'humanitarian' is conducted.

3.2. The HTBox/crisischeckin project was last updated: Latest commit 52774db on Apr 22, 2017

4.1. Using Search, Disaster Management, there were 417 repository results.

Part 2 - Open Hub

2.1. 226 pages, with 10 projects per page would be 2260 projects in total.

2.2. All of the KDE Education project code is on GitHub, per the Git URL.

2.3. 10 similar projects are listed.

2.4. Project summary, Code data, Source Code Management (SCM) data, and Community data

3.1. For humanitarian, 3 pages, 10 projects per page = 30 projects. For disaster management, same, ~30 projects.

3.2. ?? Language not available? Abandoned? No supporting user community?

4.1. On the Organizations page, the following info was found: Active Orgs, New Orgs, Orgs by 30 day commit volumn, and Stats by Sector (Comm, Non-profit, Edu, Govt).

5.1. The last commit for OpenMRS Core on OpenHub was 2014-07-23 (over 4 years ago).

6.1. The last commit for OpenMRS Core on GitHub was 2 days ago

6.2. These two sites have different information because they are different code repositories. Same names, different code.

7. The benefits of using both GitHum and OpenHub to search for code would be that you'd find the most recent activity. However, you'd have to look carefully to see which project you were following, and it could be confusing. Generally, I think a project would be maintained either on OpenHub or GitHub, and if you were working on the project, you'd want to take care to update the project in the correct repository, which it was most 'active'.
