New chair

@Adolfo Brandes @Jorge Londoño

Welcome, Jorge!

Text component does not remove text with link or insert a link to text

@Dean Jay Mathew

A fix was merged into olive.master, and there is a PR open in Tutor.

  • Should we create a process to create tagged release versions outside the planned date? This would remove the need to add patches in Tutor’s Dockerfile

10min


Voting for Test Champions


@Dean Jay Mathew


I will be presenting the Test Plan for 10 minutes at the next Open edX® meetup on 1/26/23 and will also be announcing the Olive Test Champions. For Nutmeg I chose the champions myself to save time, but I would prefer this to be a joint decision amongst BTR members. We need to also differentiate between technical and non-technical testing champions.

Q release naming

Board organization: sprints?

@Adolfo Brandes

Regis raises that maybe sprints are not the best option for the group.

 Action items

@Adolfo Brandes will help onboard @Jorge Londoño as new chair
@Jorge Londoño will start a thread in the forum kicking off the “Q” release naming process
@Dean Jay Mathew will move the information in GitHub - openedx/wg-build-test-release: Open edX Build / Test / Release Working Group into this group’s home page in the wiki
Once the above info is in the wiki, @Sofiane Bebert will delete the info in the repo README to avoid duplication

 Decisions

  1. Instead of having Tutor apply patches on top of release tags, when deemed sufficiently urgent we will consider tagging the next point release earlier
