DevOps Working Groups

DevOps Working Group
...
Collect, discuss and resolve all matters related to the technical operations of an Open edX platform, both in development and in production.
This working group is in close cooperation with the Build/Test/Release and the Developer Experience working groups (see below). Issues related to their area of expertise are dispatched to them. Other issues are processed internally.
...
The primary communication channel of this working group is the forum. If you would like to report an issue, you should add it to the GitHub project (but discussion on the forum is strongly encouraged prior to creating an issue).
Forum: DevOps (to be created)
GitHub: repository, issues and project board
Slack: #wg-devops (to be created). Note that the Slack discussion channel should only be used for quick one-off Q&A. Slack conversations are not indexed by search engines; it’s difficult to do support over Slack; content is not publicly accessible and is hard to discover; notifications are hard to follow. Thus, for most matters, you should use the forum category above.
Meeting: discussions will be held on asynchronous channels as much as possible. No periodical, synchronous meeting is planned for now.
