Project Anatomy Activity:


Sugar Labs Project

Teams:

- all three teams have an IRC channel & coordinators.

- other related contacts are listed either as contributors, people, or editors

- Only the activity and doc. team have mailing lists


Bug Tracker:

- Types: defect or enhancement

- Category is determined by the type, component milestone, and OS distribution (I think)


Repository:

- Gitorious.com: git hosting at your company (I am not sure what is meant by web-based vs local)


Release Cycle:

- roadmap is updated at the end of each release cycle


Sahana Eden Project

Community:

- I actually liked this set up better. For developers they had specific step by step guide, for testers it was a bit more confusing but given some time I am sure it would make more sense. Designers was simply organized into User Interface Tasks & Project Tasks. The Sugar Labs Project was much more poluted with information and links. I like the simplier organization.

Bug Tracker:

- The tickets are organized by report instead of by severity as they seemed to be at the Sugar Labs project - tickets have a summary, component,version, priority, type, owner, status, creation date


Repository:

- Web2Py is a python webframework. I am not sure I understand the significance of local vs. web repos.


BLOG Activity (incorporates answers to FOSS FIELD TRIP activity):my blog


FOSS Use in Course Activity #1: Project: GNOME Accessibility Project Course: Open Source Software Development - 1 credit course

topics: ideas for additions to GCompris (an educational software for children 2 to 10)- somehow connected to GNOME?

topics: projects for Project possibility (Software collaboration for users with disabilities) - somehow connected to GNOME?

topic: GNOME system monitor (GNOME process viewer and system monitor) - C++ primarily

topic: GNOME Grilo (framework that provides access to different sources of multimedia content) - C primarily

topic: ATK - Accessibility (interfaces, accessibility tools have full access to view and control running applications) - C primarily


GNOME Accessibility - roadmap is a year old, under "posted opportunities" - there are none.

 - I spent more than 7 hours traversing, reading, re-reading, accessing, following up on, looking up projects
 - Could not seem to find anything that worked - either language, scope, not related to accessibility or humanities (in my opinion)
 - Very frustrated with this so far
 - Spending an extremely large amount of time when estimate is 60 minutes!
