Intro to Foss Project Anatomy

The Sugar Labs Project

Contributions that can be done by our students

Developer

In my opinion, our students can contribute to the project as Developers as they can work with C, JavaScript, Web App development and GNU/Linux system administration.

Designer

This can also be chosen by students as they already have a course in their syllabus named Computer Graphics in which they would use their C/C++ programming skills to implement Graphics and Animation in their labs. So, they would feel motivated to learn and use additional vector & raster graphics tools required for this role.

The similarities could be the possibilities for the students to use their programming skills as both developer and designer but as the roles are different, outcomes may also differ.

Tracker

General Process of submitting a Bug

If you find a bug or would like to report an issue with Sugar, visit https://github.com/sugarlabs and look for the activity or a sugar component repository that you think is relevant.

If you don't know which one to use, use https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar, and be sure to sign up and sign in to Github.

Then visit the issues tab of the repo, and hit the big green button to report your issue.

If you haven't written issue reports before, here's a great guide: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

Community

To contribute to Sahana Eden

Developers, Testers, Bug Marshals, Newsletter Report Writers, Documenters, Translators, Designers, SysAdmin and GIS Specialists.

The roles that would be most applicable for my students are:

1. Developers 2. Testers - 3. Designers- This requires skills like CSS and HTML as pre-requisites and they have a subject named Web Technology and Cyber security in their undergraduate course in which they use HTML and Javascript.

Tracker

The information on Sahana Eden Bug tracker page is more then that of Sugar Lab page as the bugs are assigned keywords like easy, sandy easy which makes it suitable for new developers to tackle. Moreover, Column and filter component is also added in this bug tracker page.

Types/Categories of Tickets
