Sugar on a Stick

  • Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

    • 1

      Join the Sugar on a Stick mailing list, http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas, and introduce yourself - who are you and what are you interested in doing/learning? You don't need prior experience or technical expertise; in fact, we love diverse contributors of all kinds, from testers to pedagogical designers to deployment supporters to designers, writers, packagers - and of all ages. All we ask is that you be willing to learn, and to share what you learn along the way with us.

      Packaging for Fedora

      If you're a Fedora package maintainer (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers) or interested in becoming one and helping us "adopt" Sugar Activities for deployment via Sugar on a Stick, we could always use help packaging Sugar Activities. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar_Activities for the list.

      Run a deployment pilot

      If you're an adventurous K-8 teacher, or know someone who is, consider being one of our pilot classrooms. Working closely with the SoaS development team, you'll try out experimental software and engage in a dialogue with the community about how to improve things for our next release. The software you try out may work, or it may crash spectacularly, or anywhere in between - it's all part of the fun and the learning experience of how to be a QA engineer and part of an open source community.

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.
