Bio: I teach physics courses and mentor student research mostly around electronics projects using Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and FPGA hardware. I also direct an informal STEM program for middle school students and one of our classes is FLOSS Desktops for Kids where we use the Sugar desktop (from OLPC). Fun fact: We just opened our own observatory at Siena!

Stage 1a - FOSS Anatomy

SUGAR LABS

  1. Roles for students: content writer, developer, designer, BugSquad, activity developer
    • Commonalities across roles: to improve sugar and make it more accessible
    • Differences between roles: different interests and skills
  2. Tracker
    • How to submit a bug: Register and create a new ticket. Create a descriptive title. Identify the bug type, include details to reproduce bug and expected outcome; Include software versions and log files.
  3. Repository
    • Latest commit: April 30, 2019
  4. Release cycle and roadmap
    • Release cycle: Each release cycle will include development, beta, release candidate and final releases.
    • Roadmap: Includes release dates, modules and dependencies, tickets considered, and future plans. Nothing is in the roadmap for 0.114.

Sahana Eden Project

Information management system for disaster and humanitarian aid management

    • Commonalities: the roles for involvement are similar for Sugar
  2. Tracker
    • Bugs are reported on gitHub under issues. This is different than the Sugar BugSquad system. But the instructions for what should be included are quite similar.
  3. Repository
    • Latest commit: May 2, 2019
