Agenda

• Intro

  • Meet & greet newcomers if any

  • Recap of agenda items - any to add? comments?

    • I’m posting my updates here since I can’t attend this meeting (Nimisha)

      • Done: Created the Open edX platform testing survey and published in Discourse.

        • Waiting for submissions now.

        • Thank you to those who have submitted already.

      • Update: Feature Toggle/Settings Annotation/Reporting

        • Anticipated outcomes of Feature Toggle/Settings project: (1) Consistency of toggles when testing in all environments, (2) discoverability of features in the system (what features and how-to use them), (3) sustainable pipeline to DEPR with accountable feature deadlines.

        • We would like to engage with interested parties. The agenda would be to share each of our goals with this project and make decisions on what information to include in the annotations. If time permits, we will also create an action plan.
