Make Open edX a sustainable open source project with a strong and diverse community. Incorporate the point of view of the university’s platform managers into governance and help to expand edX into a strong contestant in the on-campus LMS arena.
Open edX is both an amazing community and a fantastic piece of software. But its growth is hampered by complexity and lack of extensibility. I propose to resolve this by allowing external contributors from the community to tackle major platform-wide changes.
Increase the value of the Open edX brand in benefit of the community. Review the internal processes to consider community priorities. Create spaces where the community can market their contributions. Consider students, authors, and site operators in the UI design.
Community ownership. Open source good practices. Better transparency. Increased collaboration on common projects. More time contributed by core contributors and maintainers. Better communication and involvement of operators, educators and learners. Improved election process.
A great learner experience platform (LXP) should be used, not only by a university with particular needs. The platform should be a solution for corporate, the HR department, a start-up, a hospital or government etc. The market is diversified and flexible solutions are requested. Let’s go beyond the traditional LMS.
Community ownership. A better platform for 10K organizations

My goal as a TOC member would be to push for the mechanisms and incentives that can empower the community players to collaboratively build a product that is the best fit for tens of thousands of organizations to provide high quality online learning.
Improve development velocity and community engagement by breaking the monolith into 4: Learning content (interoperable LCMS & LTI providers, xAPI events). Catalog (search, ecommerce, marketing). Classroom (mobile first, built for interactivity, modular, adaptive and skill based learning). LMS (enrollment, grades, certification, dashboard).
