FOSS Field Trip (Activity)

Part 1 - Github

1. Number of repositories in "education": 12,071
2. Information related to "Commits": Commits per week, and per day of week.
3. Number of repositories in "humanitarian": 285
4. The last updates for HTBox/crisischeckin: Latest commit Aug 7, 2016; last issue opened, Oct 21, 2016; last pull request, opened Nov 4, 2016, last wiki update, Jun 17, 2016.
5. Number of repositories in "disaster management": 139

Part 2 - OpenHub

1. Number of projects on OpenHub: 3470
2. KDE Education code located on GitHub? No
3. Number of similar projects: 10
4. OpenHub information provided about projects: Summary, stats (commits, contributors, language(s), timeframes, etc.), organizational (KDE) and participant information.
5. Number of repositories in "humanitarian": aprox. 40 (assuming 10/page)
6. Number of repositories in "disaster management": 60 (assuming 10/page)
7. Why do so many projects do not have activity information available? Activity is based on current development, many projects are stable and archived, but not under active development by their communities.
8. Information about "Organizations" on OpenHub: Dashboard with stats on various activity by organization: volume, ranked order, new orgs, stats by sector.
9. Last commit listed by OpenHub for OpenMRS Core: 18-August-2016
10. Last commit listed by GitHub for OpenMRS COre: 22-March-2017
11. Reason why these sites have different information: OpenHub is a reference resource, "offering analytics and search services for discovering, evaluating, tracking, and comparing open source code and projects." Github is a version control platform for managing distributed software development efforts and housing source code. The two services provide different services. Github provides services to develop projects, OpenHub "is not a forge" but rather provides services to assess/compare projects.
12. Benefits of using both GitHub and OpenHub to search for a project: Allow potential contributors--or even those looking to start a project--to find existing efforts; assess the "maturity" of a project; review the profiles (experience, activities, skill sets) of contributors working across projects; assess license compatibility within and across projects;
13. Drawbacks of using both GitHub and OpenHub to search for a project? Black Ducks analytics, search algorithms and data are proprietary and not *open* for review.
