Dr. Turner's primary focus at RPI is undergraduate teaching, and he is currently teaching the introductory programming course CS1 and advising the Rensselaer Center for Open Source (RCOS) a 120 member center on campus that mentors students doing open source projects.

Dr. Turner's scholarly interests include open source software development, computational computing and medical imaging exploitation.

Dr.Turner has over 30 years of computing experience and has been working in or with open source software for over 17 years. He has only recently returned to academia and turned his attention to teaching open source rather than just using it.

Part A Evaluation

Sahana

  • Sahana has much more detailed descriptions for roles than Sugar, while there is some commonality among roles, they are largely distinct
  • Sahana organizes bugs into categories. The information provided per ticket is more detailed, but functionally similar to Sugar Labs
  • defect/bug, documentation, enhancement and task
  • Each issue provides:
    • Ticket
    • Summary
    • Component
    • Version
    • Priority
    • Type
    • Owner
    • Status
    • Created
  • Last commit was on Oct 5, 2017
  • Multiple releases are planned and each release has its own roadmap. The percent roadmap complete is maintained.

Github

  • 15,860 repository results on "education"
  • Recent(-ish) commit activity, by week and by day of the week
  • 332 repository results on "humanitarian"
  • Last commit on Apr 22, 2017
  • 174 repository results on "disaster management"

OpenHub

  • Approximately 2,250 repository results on "education"
  • KDE Education
    • 23 code locations, none on GitHub
    • 10 similar projects
    • Information provided:
      • Project Summary
        • News
        • Settings
        • Sharing Widgets
        • Related Projects
      • Code Data
        • Languages
        • Cost Estimates
        • Security
      • SCM Data
        • Commits
        • Contributors
      • Community Data
        • Users
        • Ratings & Reviews
        • User & Contributor Locations
  • 21 repository results on "humanitarian"
  • 29 repository results on "disaster management"
  • Why do so many projects do not have activity information available?
    • "Finally, because Open Hub is weighting recent contributions more heavily, projects that do not have recent analysis because of problems with their code locations or other problems blocking Open Hub from collecting and analyzing code will show the Not Available icon."
  • Organizations
    • Most Active Orgs
      • Commits / affiliate
    • Orgs by 30 Day Commit Volume
      • Organization
      • Type
      • Size

OpenMRS

  • Last commit for OpenMRS Core in OpenHub was 10/10/2017
  • Last commit for OpenMRS Core in GitHub was 10/10/2017
  • For me, they had the same information, but that was because the most recent. commit was on a GitHub location. I expect they could differ if the most recent commit was not to a GitHub location.

Benefits and Drawbacks of using Both Sites

  • Benefits: The sites provide different information and focus, with OpenHub focusing perhaps more on the context of the information within organizations and affiliates and GitHub focusing perhaps more on one specific site (GitHub) and code modifications. Searching both gives you more context and greater depth of detail.
  • Drawbacks: Keeping up with a site you are working on requires substantially more work if you are using both sites.
