POSSE Stage 1A Due May 5th

Stage 1a - FOSS Anatomy

SUGAR LABS

1. Roles for students: Writing API documentation, Testing and potentially fixing bug. All roles allows students to get used to work with code they did write themselves and to work in bigger systems. Writing API documentation can be part of fulfilling writing intensive requirements.
2. Repository

Sahana Eden Project

Information management system for disaster and humanitarian aid management

1. • Commonalities: the roles for involvement are similar as for Sugar but the processes are not as strictly defined. Sugar have policies and plans for releases while Eden have an issue tracker where discussion happen and code changes are proposed via pull requests.
2. Repository
   • Latest commit: May 2, 2019

POSSE Stage 1B Due May 26th

FOSS Field Trip (Activity)

Stage 1b - Intro to FOSS - Github

• As of May 20, 2019 11:48AM Github is reporting 27,833 repositories for the term "education".
• 3,456 of theses repos use the JavaScript language.
• The more recently updated was vincentrodriguez/signals-visualisation (Updated a minute ago).
• The least recently updated was drongous/ems (Updated on Jun 4, 2008).
• The more active repo (more stars) is freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp
  • 303k stars.
  • 227 open issues and 13334 closed issues
  • Insight tab show graph of acitivity in the repo.
  • Commit tab in insight show a graph with the number of commit by week for the last year. For freeCodeCamp the number of commit have increased from less than 40 a week to more than 100 a week starting in last October.

• As of May 20, 2019 12:07PM Github is reporting 506 repositories for the term "humanitarian".
• HTBox/crisischeckin
  • have 178 stars.
  • use C#
  • Last updated on Oct 24, 2018

• The term "disaster management" have 473 repository results.

Stage 1b - Intro to FOSS - OpenHub

• For the search term "education" approximatively 2270 projects were found ( 227 pages of 10 projects).
• I recognize Moodle, Wireshark and Groovy in the list of most active projects for the search term "education".
• KDE Education
  • All repos are git repos hosted on anongit.kde.org
  • 10 similars projects are listed. (KStars, Step,..., KPercentage)
  • The similar project page show an icon for each project with name, activity level, language and License.
• "humanitarian" search returns approximatively 30 projects
• "disaster management" search returns approximatively 30 projects
• "Activity Not Available" icon is showned because of problems with the code locations or other problems blocking Open Hub from collecting and analyzing code. Developer need to update project code locations in openhub to resolv this.
• Organizations page shown statistics about organizations. The list of most actives orgs, the list of newest orgs and the list of orgs by commit volume.
• The search results show a list of Organizations. The organisation OpenRMS have 46 projects.
• OpenHub reports for OpenMRS Core project that most code locations as "Downloading source code history (Failed about 1 month ago.)" No information is available in OpenHub about last commit.
• In Github the Latest commit for openmrs/openmrs-core is one day ago.
• Openhub do not have access to the code locations of openmrs-core, recent activity is not available to be analysed by OpenHub
• It is possible to find different kind of information at different places.

FOSS in Courses 1 (Instructors)

Many activities are interesting and relevant. Here how they could be distributed in the class that I teach.

CIS 3296 Software Design is an advanced undergraduate course mandatory for Computer Science majors. This course is a writing intensive and is an introduction to Software Design and Software Engineering.

• Git: GitHub Issues and Pull Requests
• Backwardly Compatible Code (Activity)
• One Week Crash Course – Mozilla

CIS 4296 Information System Analysis and Design is a mandatory capstone class for Information Science & Technology majors. The class is project based and team based.

• UML a project

CIS 5306 Software Engineeering is an elective graduate class for the Master in Information Science & Technology, computer science students are not allowed to register.

• Code Base Understanding
• Handle an OpenMRS Ticket (Activity)

Part C Due June 16th

Intro to Bug Trackers

• List some of the projects that the issues belong from the aggregated view belong. As of May 25, 2019 16:13 the most recent issues were vte#128, libgovirt#2, gnome-software#684 and gimp#3425. They belong respectively to the projects: vte (Virtual Terminal library), libgovirt (wrapper for the oVirt REST API), gnome-software (GNOME application manager) and gimp (image manipulation software)

• Other information about each issue available in the aggregated view include the name of the issue, the name of the author, the moment the issues was opened and last updated and the number of comments.

• Additional information available in each issue usually include step to reproduce, expected behaviour, comments and current status.

• Labels grouped in category from 1 to 9 they roughly correspond to different part of the lifecycle of software. Labels that start with 2. are blue and correspond to the integration part of the lifecycle. Labels that start with 3. are mustard yellow and correspond to issues that are not to be resolved for varying reasons.

• Cards are arranged in columns. Each columns correspond to a status in the lifecycle of an issue from open to closed.
