Andromedev: uma análise sobre a experiência em desenvolvimento de código aberto na UFCG.

Abstract

Andromedev was a mentoring event in open source development that had its first edition based on consolidated events of the same nature. To evaluate it, forms were used to capture data about the development process and information about the projects. However, the volume of data collected had a negative impact on its interpretability. In this context, the present work develops a descriptive analysis of the deliveries generated in Andromedev, in order to identify the target audience of the event; examine your evaluating artifacts; verify possible characteristics that led to the success of projects; and to look for factors that engaged students to continue contributing after the end of the event. A good adherence to the expected target audience was noted, however some aspects need to be improved for upcoming editions, such as weekly deliveries, the period of the event and the division of mentor time between various projects, this being a characteristic that impacted in the conclusion of projects and in the desire to continue contributing for the apprentices.
