Projects Reviewed

  • Sugar - liked the structured approach and appears to be a good example of a properly structured HFOSS project. Surprised the blog, had spam posts on it. Seems to detract from quality of project
  • Sahana Eden - Feel that this project could be a good one for introducing software that could apply directly to "real world" programming challenges.

General Observations

  • Surprised at how IRC is a common tool for these projects
  • Surprised at the low level of communication on IRC for projects, expected more conversations
  • Helpful to have specific needs highlighted for different roles.
  • Think the documentation aspect of projects could be a good way to reinforce good software engineering practices with students.

Foss Field Trip

  • Part 1 - Github
   * 20,758 repository results matching key word "education"
   * dates of commits, days of week of commits
   * 400 repository results matching key word "humanitarian"
   * 238 repository results matching query "disaster management"
  • Part 2 - OpenHub
   * 2,260 repository results matching key word "education"
   * No code on github
   * 4 similar projects
   * Summary, in a nutshell, licenses, code lines, commits, languages, contributors
   * 30 humanitarian, 30 disaster management
   * Not sure on why no activity
   * Latest and most active organizations, stats by sector, 
   * Open Hub - 3 months a go, Github - 4 days ago
   * Difference due to delay in analysis on openhub, but openhub gives more structured metadata on project
   * Sites provide different level of detail and openhub provides a cross-cut of organization activity
