1. Updates on Current Tasks
Core Contributor Survey Suggestions (Cassie Zamparini):
Proposal to merge the asynchronous updates with community check-ins to make them more user-friendly and easier to digest.
A condensed format was tested, and positive feedback was received.
Cassie is working on a mockup for further review and invited comments from UX/UI team members.
Task Progress Review (Xavier Antoviaque):
Many tasks showed progress; specific updates include:
Increased engagement from core contributors and maintainers.
Issues related to facilitating asynchronous participation (e.g., meeting transcripts, calendar alignment) were resolved and marked complete.
Improvements to pull request templates were mostly implemented, with one pending fix.
Improving Community Feedback Mechanisms (Ali Salman):
Ali is actively working on creating mockups and addressing feedback collection improvements.
2. Handbook and Documentation Overhaul
Handbook Progress (Cassie Zamparini):
Cassie presented a proposal for restructuring the Open edX Handbook, aiming for improved navigation and centralized documentation.
Challenges include overlapping content between the handbook and broader documentation, as well as potential resistance from the Documentation Working Group due to scope.
Suggestions from Maria Magallanes and Xavier Antoviaque:
Start small by focusing on core handbook content and using it to redirect users to other documentation areas.
Avoid attempting to overhaul the entire documentation structure upfront.
Engage the Documentation Working Group for structural feedback.
3. Partner Contributions Initiative
Progress on Partner Contributions (Xavier Antoviaque):
Two meetings with Open edX partners were held to establish standards for partner commitments to core contributions (e.g., developer hours, marketing updates).
The initiative aims to balance company incentives with community needs and increase resource allocation for the platform.
Next steps include voting on proposals and finalizing plans in collaboration with the Open edX Technical Oversight Committee (TOC).
4. Other Notable Updates
Single Responsible Person Initiative:
Efforts continue to assign clear ownership of tasks to ensure accountability and streamline decision-making.
Open Tickets and Dependencies:
Several tasks remain in progress or await updates, including efforts to improve task assignment transparency and repository contributor listings.
5. Next Steps
Participants were encouraged to:
Provide feedback on Cassie’s handbook proposal and related mockups.
Review progress on key tasks and participate in discussions on upcoming initiatives.
Stay engaged through asynchronous updates.
