Please see the Contest Rules for Eligibility and Registration process.
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2014/terms_and_conditions
Details regarding the required forms and paperwork are here: Google Code In 2014/Participate#Students.
Also, you will likely need to set up the Sugar development environment. See http://developer.sugarlabs.org/dev-environment.md.html for details. Further information about contributing to the project can be found here: http://developer.sugarlabs.org/
Please don't hesitate to ask questions on our irc channel (#sugar on irc.freenode.net) or on the sugar-devel list: sugar-devel AT lists.sugarlabs DOT org
Why we are participating
Sugar is written and maintained by volunteers, who range from seasoned professionals to children as young as 12-years of age. Children who have grown up with Sugar have transitioned from Sugar users to Sugar App developers to Sugar maintainers. They hang out on IRC with the global Sugar developer community and are full-fledged members of the Sugar development team. It is this latter group of children we hope will participate in and benefit from Google Code-in. Specifically we want to re-enforce the message that Sugar belongs to its users and that they have both ownership and the responsibility that ownership implies. Just as learning is not something done to you, but something you do, learning with Sugar ultimately means participating in the Sugar development process. At Sugar Labs, we are trying to bring the culture of Free Software into the culture of school. So the Code-in is not just an opportunity for us to get some tasks accomplished, it is quintessential to our overall mission.
Some background from GCI
[See https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/getting-started]
Open Source Fundamentals
You can contribute without being a coder! You do not have to be a coder to contribute to open source. There are many different skill sets needed to help an open source community thrive:
- Documentation
- If you are a good writer and enjoy attention to detail then you might want to contribute by writing or editing documentation. Documentation is a huge part of a successful open source project. Organizations need documentation to help attract new contributors as it helps them see what the codebase looks like and where things are and what the plan is for the project.
- Research
- An organization may need help crunching numbers or sorting through pages of documents to better understand what the users want or need. There are many different types of tasks that students could work on that are very important to the health of the project.
- Outreach
- If you have an outgoing personality and like being around and talking to people, take a look at the outreach tasks. Outreach tasks often include hosting meetups in your local community or creating a plan on how people around the globe can host a meetup about the project in their local communities.
- Training
- You could create a YouTube video discussing a new feature of the project or maybe some basics on what the project does so people who haven’t heard about it can understand the project and get involved.
- User Interface
- User interface can include many types of tasks including designing new aspects of a webpage or creating a new logo for the project. It may also include various accessibility opportunities to help make the project easier for people who are blind.
- Other
- If you have an idea that may help an organization, reach out to them and let them know! Sometimes the best task is one that the organization hasn’t even considered yet.
Collaboration
Open source is not just about coding but working with other people to find the best solution. Being a part of the community is an essential part of success in Google Code-in. Mentors tell us every year that their best students were the ones who worked hard on their projects but also participated on IRC and helped answer questions other students had.
Quality over Quantity
It’s not about being the student who completes the most tasks, that only gets you to the top 10 to be reviewed, it doesn’t mean you will be a grand prize winner. We have had quite a few students who completed the most tasks for their organization yet were not named as Grand Prize Winners because they did everything solo and didn’t get involved in the community or think about the health of the project as a whole, they just kept completing task after task like a machine. If you actively participate in the community then you not only feel the camaraderie that comes with working as a team but you become committed to making the project better for everyone.
Tasks
Note: This is our preliminary list of tasks. We can add more as the contest progresses.
Mentors: please feel free to add more tasks and/or add yourself as a potential mentor to an existing task.
Tasks must fall within one of these five categories: #Documentation/Training; #Outreach/Research; #User Interface; #Quality Assurance; and #Code.
Beginner Tasks
We have several tasks that are targeting people new to Sugar and Sugar development. This is a category new to GCI for 2014.
| Title | Description | Hours | Mentor | Tag |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Install the Sugar development environment | Following the instruction at [1], set up the Sugar development environment. Submit a screen-shot of the development environment running to complete this task. You can get help on our irc channel should you run into any difficulties. | 48 | all | beginner |
| Install Sugar in a virtual machine | If your intention is to focus on documentation and training or outreach, then you may want to install Sugar in a virtual machine. Following the instruction at [2], set up the Sugar development environment. Submit a screen-shot of the development environment running to complete this task. You can get help on our irc channel should you run into any difficulties. | 48 | all | beginner |
| Create an example program in Turtle Blocks | We distribute examples with the Turtle Blocks programming environment. Create your example -- some art, some geometry, some multimedia, a simple game -- to be included with the package. Deliverable is a Turtle Blocks project file to be reviewed by Sugar Labs designers and educators. | 48 | all | beginner |
Documentation/Training
Tasks related to creating/editing documents and helping others learn more
| Title | Description | Hours | Mentor | Tag |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Update the Sugar Labs entry in Wikipedia | The Sugar Labs entry in Wikipedia is very old. Please bring it up to date. | 48 | Walter | Documentation |
| Help for MusicKeyboard activity | Create a page in Help activity for the MusicKeyboard activity | 48 | GOdiard | Documentation |
| Help for Abacus activity | Create a page in Help activity for the Abacus activity | 48 | GOdiard | Documentation |

https://github.com/godiard/help-activity/blob/master/source/collaborating.rst
Outreach/Research
Tasks related to community management, outreach/marketing, or studying problems and recommending solutions
| Title | Description | Hours | Mentor | Tag |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turtle Art Day | Organize a Turtle Art Day in your community. Details at [3] | 96 | Walter | Outreach |
User Interface
Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction
| Title | Description | Hours | Mentor | Tag |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classroom management 1 | Sugar provides only a few tools for classroom management, e.g., the Share With Teacher webservice. Survey classroom services that run either as web services or native in desktop environments. | 72 | Walter | UI, pedagogy |
| Classroom management 2 | Sugar provides only a few tools for classroom management, e.g., the Share With Teacher webservice. Which of the results from the Classroom management 1 task would be useful to incorporate into the Sugar ecosystem? Evaluation should include s description of the service and a sketch of how the user interaction would work. | 72 | Walter | UI, pedagogy |
| Sugar on a small screen | Sugar was originally designed as a desktop environment for small computers. But these days, many children have access to smart phones rather than computers. This task is to make some sketches as to how Sugar might be redesigned for a smart phone form-factor. A series of annotated sketches should be made as part of completing this task. | 72 | Walter | UI |
| Programming on a small screen | We put an emphasis on programming in Sugar. One popular programming environment is Turtle Blocks. Recently we made a Javascript version that can run in a browser (and hence on a smart phone). How should the UI change to accommodate that form-factor? A series of annotated sketches should be made as part of completing this task. | 72 | Walter | UI |
| End-user customization | We try to encourage our users to re-imagine Sugar as they'd like it. Users can change the icon layout, the background screen, and the XO avatar. What else should be made easier to customize with minimal programming? | 72 | Walter | UI |
Quality Assurance
Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality.
| Title | Description | Hours | Mentor | Tag |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Behavior diff for Turtle Blocks JS | Turtle Blocks JS is a Javascript port from the Python version of the activity. The goal of this task is to document any differences in behavior between the two versions. | 72 | Walter | QA |
| Unit tests for JS activities | We have no unit tests for our Javascript activities. This task is to investigate approaches to unit testing in Javascript | 72 | Walter | QA |
| Test Sugar on a Stick | Help test the latest Sugar on a Stick on Fedora (F21). See [4], [5] #fedora-qa (freenode IRC). Deliverable is a report of the major Sugar features, e.g., desktop, journal, collaboration, and the core activities, e.g., Write, Browse, Turtle, Chat, Speak, etc. | 48 | Satelitt | QA, SoaS |
Code
Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
| Title | Description | Hours | Mentor | Tag |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beagle Board plugin for Turtle Blocks | The Beagle Board is a low-power, open-hardware computer that facilitates experimentation with a large family of sensors. The task is to get Turtle Blocks running on a Beagle Board and then write an example plugin. | 72 | Sugar | Code, UI, Python |
| Munsell colors | The Munsell color system is a visually uniform color system. There is a decent Perl module for Munsell, but no Python module as far as I know. Would be great to have a Python version so we can use Munsell in Sugar activities. | 72 | Sugar | Code, UI, Python |
| Sharing Palette Highlight Bug | GTK3 Sharing Palette does not highlight the current selected option. The palette should highlight the icon of the selected option. This worked fine in GTK2. You can test with Chat (gtk2) and Browse (gtk3). Ticket: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4467 Relevant code: gtk3 themes at github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-artwork | 48 | Bug, Sugar, GTK, Theme | UI, Code |
| Magic Tool For Paint | The kids want the magic tools from TuxPaint in the sugar Paint activity. The teachers in Uruguay say the kids like the magic tools from TuxPaint. Ticket: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2838 Relevant code: https://github.com/godiard/paint-activity | 72 | Feature, Magic, Paint, Activity | Code |
| Clear Browse Cache on Crash | Browse cache can bloat up with time consuming valuable space on the laptop. On one laptop me and tch checked, there were 400MB of unaccessible files (mostly multimedia) in the Browse instance folder. We need a procedure to clean instance/ when starting browse (needs to check it is the only instance to avoid corner case of more than one browse instance). Another option is to check the date of partial files... Ticket: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2659#comment:6 Relevant code: https://github.com/sugarlabs/browse-activity | 48 | Browse, Activity, Bug, Cache | Code |
| On Screen keyboard Covers Terminal | On terminal activity, the OSK is covering the text entry area. This means that they cannot be used in tablet (full-touch) mode, meaning that they cannot meet Objective #2487. Ticket: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4542 Relevant code: https://github.com/godiard/terminal-activity | 48 | Terminal, Bug, OSK, Touch, XO-Required, Activity | Code, UI |
| Pippy does not load example if no tabs present | Steps: open pippy, close all tabs, open an example (any), nothing will happen and is confusing, the log shows an ugly error. Ticket: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4782 Relevant code: https://github.com/walterbender/Pippy | 48 | Pippy, Bug, Activity | Code |
| XO sleeps while Spirolaterals is drawing | The Spirolaterals activity should ask XO builds not to suspend while its drawing routine is active. Since it takes more than 15 seconds to complete a drawing cycle based on many user-entered patterns, and drawing is done in a step/pause/step manner which doesn't use much CPU, a XO laptop can decide to suspend before the completed image is drawn. Use the inhibit suspend routines in the toolkit to fix this bug. Ticket: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3417 Relevant code: https://github.com/walterbender/spirolaterals | 48 | Spirolaterals, Bug, Activity | Code |
