[Ben W] What does the http->https forwarding?
[Robert] Cloudflare probably for http->https. Also, an answer to a separate question, Google TagManager is often where random scripts are dropped on the page.

Quick Introductions: Simon and Danielle
[quest] (Jeremy) 2U’s internal Slack has a #pypi-releases that (currently imperfectly) tracks releases of our dependencies from PyPI. Is this worth enhancing and/or announcing more broadly? Would the Open edX community benefit from some kind of equivalent that only includes dependencies of Open edX?
Split into 2 different channels? Core and other
[quest](Feanil)So many OEPs in Flight, are people getting time to look at them?
It’s hard to know if the OEP is ready for review.
Some Suggestions
Mark things in GitHub Draft State
Ensure we have a clear review period after its left draft state.
Make review period more clear and explicit for updates to existing OEPs which there have been many.
Can we split out #oep-notifications? That’d help signal-to-noise.
Make it clear when changes are minor.
Ways to Follow OEPs
[inform/question] (Dave) I’ve been sketching out more of the Learning Core proposal that I had mentioned a while back. What’s the best way to get feedback/thoughts/input/etc. on this, particularly from 2U?
Robert: Want to see: here are the use cases where I think people are going to be happier. Here’s the added pain you might feel because of this change. (in any ADRs, forum posts, etc.)
David Joy: How much will people need to change how they work?
David Joy: Bigger than ADRs
Andy: Need to find a champion inside 2U
[Q] (Ben W) The new meeting time coincides with the paragon working group… is there any other time that might work for this meeting, to allow people to attend both?
Jeremy: Options are very limited, but I’ll see if there are any practical alternatives

**** [Julia] The future of devstack - will we be examining Tutor to move to remote-based containers for development?
[Diana] Short answer is yes, but we should also chat about it
Context: https://github.com/openedx/devstack is the development environment that most OCM engineers use. There’s an alternative created by the community called Tutor, which we’re generally interested in transitioning to
Régis: Creator of Tutor, an alternative development (and deployment) tool for the Open edX platform.
Tutor talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7GVNkEQ3qU
tCRIL: The new non-profit that is managing the Open edX platform.
Analysis (slightly outdated) of Tutor usage as replacement for devstack with edX use cases in mind: Tutor Analysis
[Kelly] Do we have a way of spinning up a remote environment for messing around?
[Diana] Sandboxes do exist, even if they are not great for development: https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=SRE&title=Sandboxes
***[Jeremy] Do we want to move this meeting a little earlier in the day? Arbisoft people struggle to make this time slot, probably not the greatest for Capetown or Open edX star-people in Europe either.
Yes, let’s try for a 9am time slot (10 conflicts with too many team meetings). May or may not involve moving to a different day of the week.
** [Julia] The authN MFE now starts up with the LMS on devstack. Is this a change in thinking? The learning/courseware MFE still doesn’t start up with the LMS.
Julia will follow up with that team.
