Intro to Foss Project Anatomy
The Sugar Labs Project
Contributions that can be done by our students
Developer
In my opinion, our students can contribute to the project as Developers as they can work with C, JavaScript, Web App development and GNU/Linux system administration.
Designer
This can also be chosen by students as they already have a course in their syllabus named Computer Graphics in which they would use their C/C++ programming skills to implement Graphics and Animation in their labs. So, they would feel motivated to learn and use additional vector & raster graphics tools required for this role.
The similarities could be the possibilities for the students to use their programming skills as both developer and designer but as the roles are different, outcomes may also differ.
Tracker
General Process of submitting a Bug
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 that 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

The Sahana Eden Project
Sahana Eden is an Open Source Humanitarian Platform which can be used to provide solutions for Disaster Management, Development, and Environmental Management sectors.
Community
To contribute to Sahana Eden
Developers, Testers, Bug Marshals, Newsletter Report Writers, Documenters, Translators, Designers, SysAdmin and GIS Specialists.
Broadly speaking, the two projects have the same roles but with different names. However, there are three specific roles related with bug, test and SysAdmin that in Sugar-Lab project is inside the Developer role. In sugar-lab project there is a people person role that should have more social skills and have more responsibility than the role of Newsletter Report Writers
The roles that would be most applicable for my students are developers, testers, translators and Bug Marshals
Tracker
The information on Sahana Eden Bug tracker page is more then that of Sugar Lab page as the bugs are assigned keywords like easy, sandy easy which makes it suitable for new developers to tackle.
Types/Categories of Tickets
The types are: enhancement, task, documentation, and defect/bug
Repository
Date of the last commit: June 5 2017

There are three different roadmap, related with three different milestone. But the roadmap schedule is not as clear as in the case of sugar-labs project.
