Goals

• Retro for the FedX working group
  
  • We will run a mute mapping-based retro to see what's working and what needs improvement
    • Dennis Jen (Deactivated) will provide context to folks who haven't used mute mapping before
  • Areas to reflect on before attending:
    • Why do you come to the FedX meetings?
    • What benefits do you personally get out of the meetings?
    • What aspects of the meeting are working well?
    • What should we be doing differently?
    • What should the output of these meetings be?

Discussion items

Resourcing & Prioritization

• How do we affect the roadmap?
• How do we get clarity around an idea and getting resources to move forward?
• Can we drive for change ourselves?
  • e.g. webpack
    • Bias toward action
    • The group gathered around webpack and started making the changes
  • e.g. bootstrap
    • Learner team just started doing it
• We were able to incorporate new technologies through opportunistic projects
  • Cons
    • increases scope
      • learning is difficult and time consuming
  • Proving the technology within an IDA is easier
• How do we influence better?
  • Share information
• It's difficult to decide on the front-end guidance within a clear vision of how we render
• Strategies
  • test in IDAs and/or small projects, prove the results, share the information
  • trainings (either our own or good courses that we find, lunch and learns)

Action items

• Andy Armstrong (Deactivated): Re-envision FedX and ownership
• Future Topic: FE Rendering 
• Future Topic: Xblocks and asset bundling
