FOSS Project Anatomy
Sugar Labs Project [1]
Contributions Potential student roles would be Developer and Content Writer. The main commonality among roles is the ability to communicate, be it through code or in writing.
Tracker Bug submission: Identify relevant component repo, and then submit through Github. Bug types reported fall under either enhancement or defect.
Repository Last commit on 2/5/17
Release Cycle The roadmap is updated at the beginning of each release cycle.
The Sahana Eden Project [2]
Community Seems more open. Interested parties can simply join the mailing list, follow online training, and start contributing. With Sugar Labs, there's a contact person for each role.
Tracker Issues are organized by various criteria (e.g. owner, version, priority, etc.).
Repository Last commit on 4/4/2017.
Release Cycle Roadmap broken down by milestone. Each milestone includes a listing of features, modules affected and an estimate of of effort required (for future milestones).
FOSS Field Trip
Part 1 -- GitHub 2.1 Over 12,000 repos on education.
2.2. Timeline of project commits.
3.1. There are 290 repos with keyword humanitarian
3.2. Last update on HTBox was on 8/7/2016
4. There are 144 repos on disaster management.
Part 2 -- OpenHub
2.1. There are 3456 projects with keyword "education"
2.2. KDE is the code location
2.3. There are 10 similar projects to KDE Education
2.4. "People also use.."
3.1. ~40 projects with keyword "humanitarian" and ~60 with "disaster management"
3.2. Projects with no users on Open Hub don't have any activity information.
4. Repo statistics by types of organizations (e.g. commercial, non-profit, education, etc.) that use OpenHub.
5. Last commit to OpenMRS core was in March 2017.
6.1. According to GitHub, the last commit was on April 2, 2017.

FOSS in Courses 1
I hope to incorporate HFOSS into the senior capstone course which I regularly teach. Students interested in participating would be expected to complete a design documented as outlined in [5], and carry out the implementation.
FOSS activities that would be of general interest to students in the capstone course: 1) Learning Git, 2) UML a project [6] 3) Understanding Open in OpenSource Activity [7], 4) Intro to Style Guides [8], and 5) Independent Capstone Project Design [9]
