As a faculty in early career stage, Joshua is seeking and willing to collaborate in research that will lead to high quality publications and attract funding. Please feel free to [get in touch].

Joshua is interested in these broad research areas:

  • Software Requirements Engineering,
  • Goal oriented requirements engineering (GORE);
  • Enterprise Modeling and Agility;
  • Systems Analysis and Design;
  • Requirements Engineering Education;
  • Enterprise Architecture.

Currently, Joshua has few publications in these areas, some of which are available in Google Scholar.

Stage 1 Activities

Intro to IRC: Deliverables

  • How do people interact?
Interactions are generally via instant messaging.
  • What is the pattern of communication?
Not sure, but based on my experience in using IRC, I would say that communication is linear, formal and can be a mix one to many, and one to one.
  • Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning?
It appears that terms such as 'startmeeting', 'action', 'info', topic, 'endmeeting' etc., have special meaning.
  • What advantages might IRC have over other real-time communication methods (like Google Chat or Facebook Messenger?) Are there potential disadvantages?
I think IRC is more structured and can ensure anonymity more than the others. Keeping track of who left the meeting is really cool.
  • Commands:
/whois','/quit', '/me', etc.

Sugar Labs Project

  • Summarize the roles that you think would be most applicable for your students.
Designer--My students can contribute to requirements development and management (any requirements development team?).
  • What are the commonalities across roles? What are the differences?
Each role specifies a set of skills, projects and teams, specific tasks, and contact person.
Some roles include links to mentors and mailing list.
  • Describe the general process for submitting a bug.
Step 1: Find the activity that relates to the bug in the repository using this [link]
Step 2: In the repository page select 'issues'.
Step 3: Click on 'New Issues'
Step 4: Login into GitHub if you already have account else create account first
Step 5: Enter title, describe the issues and submit.
  • Indicate the types/categories of tickets listed on this page as well as the information available for each ticket.
Issues; pull request.
  • Last Commit.
September 8, 2017
  • Describe how the release cycle and roadmap update are related.
I think that roadmap update is the herald of, or provide detail information about, a release cycle.

The Sahana Eden Project

  • Community
    • POSSE and students can contribute to any of the following roles:Developers; Testers (Bug Marshals); Community Outreach; Designers; Documenters; GIS Specialists; System Administrators; and Translators
    • In general, roles have similar structure to the Sugar Lab project and include information that can be useful to prospective volunteers. But, some roles provide more support for newbies than others. For instance, the 'Developer Role' has a mailing list, virtual training environment,and developers guidelines.
  • Tracker
    • I found tickets that relates to the following components of the software: Request Management; User Interface; GIS Mapping, Inventory, etc. Tickets are structured in tabular format containing the following columns: Ticket Number (appears to be a unique ID); summary (a brief description); component (I think component/module of the program where bug is found); priority, type, owner, and date created.
  • Repository
    • The last commit was done today October 5th 2017.
  • Release Cycle: I found three (3) milestones on this page:
    • Milestone 0.9.0 "Medway" is 92% completed with a total of 107 tickets, out of which 92 are closed and 7 are open. Some of the functionalities to be delivered in this milestone include: GIS, advanced interactive search, request management, and other.
    • Avon or Milestone 1.0 is 73% completed with 106 tickets out of which 77 is closed while 29 is active. Messaging, synchronization, GIS, and Android application supports are among the key deliverables in this milestone.
    • Milestone 2.0 is 98% completed, only 1 ticket out of 45 is open. The key functionalities include AJAX UI Framework, Workflow Engine, and Offline Support.

Part B

  1. FOSS Field Trip
  • How many repositories are there in this category?:
    • 15,649.
  • What information does this page provide?:
    • Commit provides information about updates, changes or revisions to the application.
  • How many repositories are there in humanitarian category?
    • 331
  • Locate the HTBox/crisischeckin project. When was the last update?
    • Last update: April 2017
  • How many repositories are there in 'disaster management' category?
    • 173
  1. Part 2--Openhub
  • How many projects were returned?
    • 225 pages (225*10) 2250 projects.
  • Is any of the code located on GitHub?
    • Most of the code 'Repository URL' listed their 'SCM type' as Git.
  • How many similar projects are listed?
    • I counted ten similar projects.
  • What information does OpenHub provide about the project?
    • I found the following information: Project Summary; Code Data; SCM Data; Community Data.
  • How many projects were returned for each search:
    • 3 pages or 30 humanitarian projects.
    • 3 pages or 30 disaster management projects.
  • Why do so many projects do not have activity information available?
    • This because there are little or no commits and contributors to these projects.
  • Information on Organizers Page:
    • This page provides a table that gives information about the organizations that are working on various projects. Available information include: The type, size, number of projects, and number of affiliates for each organization. It also shows the 30 day commits, and the most active organization.
  • When was the last commit for OpenMRS Core?
    • 11 Days Ago (September 28th 2017).
    • The last commits on GitHub: Jul 10, 2017
    • These two FOSS platforms are used by different people/volunteers, in different locations, this, I believe, is why there are different commit dates for both them.
    • I think using the two can provide more options and alternatives for volunteers i.e., if someone is not comfortable using GitHub then they can use OpenHub.
    • The major drawback could be the inconsistencies in information on both platforms e.g., dates of commits. These can be confusing.
