Let's use this time to work together on creating the materials we need to onboard developers and provide the necessary reference material to develop on our platform.

Reference

Goals

Onboarding
- Onboarding new developers (internal and external)
- Onboarding current developers - to new areas - reference material
- A more approachable structure/direction than the current Onboarding wiki
Dogfooding our product(s)!
Keep up-to-date and maintainable
Refine OEP-19 (Dev Doc) based on actually practicing
Open edX
- Keep the content generic (for Open edX), but call out edX-cohort-specific details.
Content
- Current and future architecture state.
- Without overloading with too much information.
- Main content + "aside" with further detail
- Assessments - for some things - not necessarily all

Non-Goals

Not duplicating documentation
No videos - since hard to maintain and update.

Cohorts

edX employees (only if private info is required)
developers
non-developers

edX Course

Here are some tasks that can be parallelized and worked on independently. We can break into groups or pair up during the meeting.

High-level Tasks

Task	Who	Notes/Links/etc.
Overall structure of course	Brittney Exline (Deactivated), Robert Raposa, Jeremy Bowman (Deactivated), Christopher Lee (Deactivated), Greg Sham (Deactivated)	See below.
Review the slides in the current presentation and see what's missing
Create edX course in Studio and enable integration with Git
Add speaker notes to current slides (?)

Content-specific Tasks

Create or transfer content to the course - export diagram, add wording, create assessments, etc.

Task	Who	Notes/Links/etc.
Core value proposition and product vision
High-level system diagrams
Devops
Analytics
Courseware and Course Structure
Scalability
DDD
Reactive Manifesto
SOLID
FED	Ari Rizzitano (Deactivated), Nimisha Asthagiri (Deactivated), Douglas Hall (Deactivated)	Immerse Frontend throughout the slides/course - not just a separate section. In addition to "Services" slide, include a "Clients" slide. Decoupled Frontend Architecture (maybe reference the incremental path diagram) https://github.com/edx/front-end-cookie-cutter-application Note: Update FED technology OEP to just refer to this repo Technologies and versions: https://github.com/edx/front-end-cookie-cutter-application/blob/master/package.json Includes: Paragon and Bootstrap Maybe reference devops SLAs re: independent microfrontends Analytics may not have a single solution across all FEDs - but may have a default suggestion. may use https://github.com/rangle/redux-beacon cool tool: https://www.fullstory.com/ XSS "Django Frontend" diagram needs to be updated
