[inform] Adam’s capacity is still towards Paragon is limited for the time being.

@Adam Stankiewicz

Just a heads up, my capacity is still limited due to my engineering management’s request to focus 95+% of time on a large Enterprise project.

I hope to carve out some time during the Open edX conference next week to catch up on Paragon-related things.

Paragon & the Open edX Conference

@Adam Stankiewicz

• Goal is to get this document into a good place by EOD Monday:https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/3709239321 (all the other Working Groups seem to have one).

• 30 minute birds of a feather / roundtable discussion on Friday at 3pm.

[inform] Fixed automated syncing of master → alpha

@Adam Stankiewicz

Fixed the automated syncing between master → alpha.

• Seemed to be broken because the edx-requirements-bot user lost its permission to bypass the branch protection rule of requiring at least PR approval.

• I updated the repo settings to allow edx-requirements-bot to bypass the PR approval rule again.

• If/when it breaks again, we can try updating the GitHub workflow to auto-approve gneerated PR, too.

[inform] Raccoon Gang Invoices

@Adam Stankiewicz

I will start monitoring and approving the Raccoon Gang financial invoices moving forward based on a request from my Director of Engineering (George Babey). TBD when this will start.

[inform] Merged PRs

@Adam Stankiewicz

Independently compile Paragon core/theme variant CSS

@Adam Stankiewicz

• Code in PR looks good.

• Appears to be missing node_modules in package.json that the PostCSS config relies on.

  • Trying to use Paragon via module.config.js in frontend-app-profile throws an error about missing modules.

  • Once installed, frontend-app-profile runs.

• Not sure the @custom-media is working when using the newly generated core.css and light.css CS files in frontend-app-profile.
