Call of projects of open-dev lectures

We are organising a lecture where students should

- learn pharo

- learn how to communicate with open source community

- learn how to reverse engineer, fix bugs....

They should work by 3/4.

We are looking for projects that would like to accept

- propose some bugs to be fixed

- to communicate with newbies and from time to time

I was thinking about

- MDL

- Roassal

- Moose ?

- Pillar ? but nobody beside me and I do not have the time

- DRGeoII

- Telescope

- Artefact

- Scale

- Ecstatic

So if you have a project and you want to participate.

We would like to have

- web page?

- mailing-list

- bug trackers/todo?

Re: Call of projects of open-dev lectures

My project may be too advanced for a student but if students are interested in Game Development and Unreal , it can a very fun experience for them.

I am in a process of constructing a Unreal API for Pharo.

What students can learn

1) How to combine Pharo with C++
2) How to use Unreal
3) How to use Pharo's UFFI
4) How to utilize shared memory and sockets
5) How to generate 3D graphics using Blender
6) How to profile Pharo
7) How to use git and github

And a ton more, game development is a massive field

What is required

1) basic knowledge of Pharo
2) basic knowledge of C++

Main website

http://www.kilon-alios.com

Github repos

https://github.com/kilon/Ephestos (umbrella project)

https://github.com/kilon/CPP (tool for using Unreal from Pharo)

Online chat

Slack - Ephestos room , or Discord

Mailing list

Github issues page of Ephestos can be used as forum

Re: Call of projects of open-dev lectures

Perhaps the most important is that the project has maintainers who can be reasonably reactive (so that the students can at least interact and get feedback on a weekly basis). If you can identify beginner-friendly issues and tasks, that would be great too.

Hi,

You desscribed a bit the students, I have few more questions :

What is the background of the students regarding computer science?

How many hours are they supposed to dedicate to the project?

Phratch will be a nice project to get student interested by.

How should I understand 12 * 4 hours?
12 hours by student in a team of four?

If it is so, it is not that much as I guess again students are new to
both Pharo (you did not elaborate on their background regarding Pharo)
and even newer to the application to collaborate with.

With that perspective, if my guesses are right, I did a selection of Dr.
Geo bugs for the students to work on. I also rate the bug difficulties
in a scale of 1 to 3. Some are really easy to fix, at least for me as I
have the background knowledge, but the student will have to spend time
to understand the source code, moreover some bug once fixed need to be
documented in the user guides. All in all I selected 14 issues I think
the students can reasonably work on.

Do the students have background on Pharo, if yes what is it?

Ok, so it is more than understood. I guess the group will spend one or
two Friday afternoons brainstorming the environment and application.

I will try my best to dedicate time to communicate regularly with the
students.

They have at least a semester of Java, but it's their first experience with Pharo, I believe. Stef will have them spend the first 3-4 fridays learning and going through the books and MOOC.

Re: Call of projects of open-dev lectures

So 18h to 21h per student dedicated to collaborate to a Pharo based
project of the community?

Useful, "fancy" tech, can make a difference.

Hi Stef,

I updated MDL to be up to date. I just need to add a "CONTRIBUTING.md"
file and it should be good for students.

- WebPage: For now it is https://github.com/DuneSt/MaterialDesignLite

- Mailing list: Pharo-user or Seaside

- Bug Tracker: https://github.com/DuneSt/MaterialDesignLite/issues

I still need to think of some features suitable for L3 students and to
document them. I begun to add an OpenDev label if some students are
interested:
