• Tracker
−
A ticket should be prepared on the trac instance and then if braod attention to the issue is desired it should be announced with a link on the sugar-devel list serve.
+
−
Tickets appear to be classified as either "defect" or "enhancement". Information is also available such as a summary of the issue, the status of the ticket (new/accepted/assigned/reopened/closed), who created the ticket (reporter), who owns (i.e. is responsible for) the ticket, the priority of the ticket and the milestone by which the ticket is targeted to be addressed.

For each issue, there is a summary of the issue, the status of the ticket, which could be new, accepted, assigned, reopened, or closed, the reporter who created the ticket, the person who is responsible for the ticket, the priority of the ticket, and the milestone of the ticket.

Significant additional information is available by clicking through to the ticket specific page. In particular, the full Description and the Change History would be valuable to a developer working on the issue.

The "get started straight away" section is a nice addition and makes it easy to quickly find something to work on. It is nicely divided into code/documentation/outreach/QA/UI tasks. For students and use in a class the "Easy Bugs to Fix" section is a great feature.

The release cycle includes development, beta, release candidate and final release versions.

In general there seems to be extensive support for new developers including documents and video training. This should make it easier to get rolling with Sahana than many other projects.

• Tracker: How is the information here different than the information found on the Sugar Labs tracker page?
+
 
−
The information in the "Active Tickets" report is very similar to that in the Sugar Labs tracker. The most notable difference is that tickets are associated with particular components. This will allow developers to more quickly identify tickets to which their expertise may be best applied. Each ticket's creation date is also displayed in the report, making it easier to identify both new and old issues.

The immediate availability of a variety of commonly useful reports (e.g. Active Tickets, Easy Bugs, Feature Requests, etc) may be useful as well.

To install Eden git is used with a repository location on ghithub.com. Thus, this project uses a web-based common repository for the trunk. Developers fork the repository, make changes to their local repository, contributing changes back when complete.

The first thing that jumps out is that the milestone 0.9.0 "Medway" is "4 years late", though not particularly surprising or concerning, given the nature of the project.

Intro IRC Activity

• How do people interact?

People interact through communication. Communication can be done through various forms, such as in-person, phone call, video call, text messaging and e-mails.


• What is the pattern of communication? Is it linear or branched? Formal or informal? One-to-many, one-to-one or a mix?

I think most of the communication is linear. We communicate with others and wait for responses from others. Communications can be one-to-one or one-to-many or a mix.


• Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning?

There are terms which have special meaning, e.g. #info, #action tags.

• Can you make any other observations?

Communication could be become very challenging when it is many-to-one or many-to-many.


Guided Tour

Sugar Labs Project

• Contributions:

I think my role will be mainly a Developer, who get the source code, test & break Sugar, design & build Sugar, file bugs, fix bugs, build packages, develop new features, test, design, develop & help maintain activities, toolchain, scripts.

• Tracker

For each issue, there is a summary of the issue, the status of the ticket, which could be new, accepted, assigned, reopened, or closed, the reporter who created the ticket, the person who is responsible for the ticket, the priority of the ticket, and the milestone of the ticket.

• Repository:

Gitorious hosts the repository.

The release cycle includes development, beta, release candidate and final release versions.


Sahana Eden Project

• Community

I think that the "Easy Bugs to Fix" section is very helpful for my students.

• Tracker

There are similarities and difference between Sahana and Sugar Labs trackers. The "Active Tickets" report is very similar. The difference are that tickets in Sahana re associated with particular components.

• Repository

Sahana uses a web-based repository, which is located on ghithub.com

FOSS Field Trip Activity

SourceForge

I researched the projects under Simulations. The projects are implemented using different programming languages, including C++, Java, C, and Python. But it seems to me that these projects are not under development.

OpenHub

• Java • 3.7M • A message saying “loading…” was shown. • 15 • JavaScript • Java • About 12 • 2-5 years • 535 comments


FOSS In Courses Activity

I have been teaching software engineering, a capstone course for undergraduate senior computer science students. My main interest is to identify some interesting projects for students to work on as teams. I think the H/FOSS projects are great for my students.
