Organizational topics

@Adolfo Brandes

  1. Chair: @Jorge Londoño has volunteered to be chair for the Palm cycle (🎉🎉🎉)

  2. Unifying the BTR, DevExp, and a potential new DevOps working group under one roof.

 

Release Naming

@Ned Batchelder (Deactivated)

We need to pick names, and have a process for picking names.

We will pick one by Jan 15th, possibly with rank-choice voting of names suggested by the group.

 

non-openedx repos

@Peter Pinch

The olive release surfaced a number of repos that are (still) outside the openedx org, e.g edx-sga. How/do we address these?

  • Criteria for bringing repos into openedx:

    • Going forward, we would like them to be maintained according to the Maintainer’s Pilot guidelines

@Adolfo Brandes will help onboard @Jorge Londoño into the Chair role
@Jorge Londoño will start chairing the meeting on January 9

 Decisions

  1. Our next meeting is going to be on January 9th, 2023, because nobody will be around on January 2nd, and January 16th is a federal holiday in the US.
  2. BTR will pick a name for the “Q” release in January via a ranked vote on options members nominate
