Bio: I teach physics courses and mentor student research mostly around electronics projects using Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and FPGA hardware. I also direct an informal STEM program for middle school students and one of our classes is FLOSS Desktops for Kids where we use the Sugar desktop (from OLPC). Fun fact: We just opened our own observatory at Siena!
Stage 1a - FOSS Anatomy
SUGAR LABS
- Roles for students: content writer, developer, designer, BugSquad, activity developer
- Commonalities across roles: to improve sugar and make it more accessible
- Differences between roles: different interests and skills
- Tracker
- How to submit a bug: Register and create a new ticket. Create a descriptive title. Identify the bug type, include details to reproduce bug and expected outcome; Include software versions and log files.
- Repository
- Latest commit: April 30, 2019
- Release cycle and roadmap
- Release cycle: Each release cycle will include development, beta, release candidate and final releases.
- Roadmap: Includes release dates, modules and dependencies, tickets considered, and future plans. Nothing is in the roadmap for 0.114.
Sahana Eden Project
Information management system for disaster and humanitarian aid management
- Commonalities: the roles for involvement are similar for Sugar
- Tracker
- Bugs are reported on gitHub under issues. This is different than the Sugar BugSquad system. But the instructions for what should be included are quite similar.

Openhub
- Education: 2270 projects
- Active projects recognized on first page:' BigBlueButton, Moodle, Geogebra
- KDE Education: All code is hosted on github; 9 similar projects; Info provided on page includes: activity, language, and type of license
- Humanitarian: 30 projects
- Disaster management: 30 projects
- Activity not available: projects that do not have recent analysis because of problems with their code locations or other problems blocking Open Hub from collecting and analyzing code
- Organizations: stats about most active organizations, new organizations, 30 day commit volume, and stats by sector
- OpenMRS: shows portfolio projects
- OpenMRS Core: latest commit is about 5 years ago
- OpenMRS Core on github: latest commit May 8, 2019
- Benefits/Drawbacks of Openhub and Github: It looks like Openhub isn't up to date. It may be useful to use both services to look for old and new projects.
