For more specific details (such as meeting room URLs), either subscribe to the Open edX Working Group calendar (which contains all working group meetings, not just frontend ones) or be on the lookout for session-specific issues on GitHub (such as this one, for instance). Meeting minutes are posted to Frontend Working Group Meeting Agendas and MinutesNotes, and those include video recordings, chat logs, and transcripts whenever possible. Upcoming sessions are also listed: if you intend to add an item to the agenda, feel free to edit the corresponding page accordingly.

The Paragon Working Group (PWG) is a design-led group that meets to manage the design system side of Paragon and vet new components according to edX’s product development needs. Members of the Frontend Working Group who work at edX may wish to go to the PWG’s meetings to help participate in that part of the process, but that is a choice they can make and has no impact on their membership in the Frontend Working Group. PWG has its own charter, goals, and governance.
