Conference presentation for Friday's agenda

@Dean Jay Mathew

  • https://openedx.slack.com/archives/C049JQZFR5E/p1674065744303159

  • Eden has asked WGs to prepare a presentation, elaborating on our accomplishments over the past year, planned initiatives for the year ahead, and potential collaboration opportunities.

  • Some of accomplishments:

    • Two releases (Nutmeg & Olive)

    • Hand-off of leadership

    • Start of DevOps working group umbrella

    • Testing plan standardization

    • Strating from Olive you would be able to start a fresh open edx instnace without building any image: previosly you had to build an image that takes around 23 minutes

  • Planned initiatives

    • More discipline about what code is included

  • Potential collaboration opportunities

    • Testing volunteers for next releases

Palm Retrospective planning


@Dean Jay Mathew

  • Ned suggested we start a retrospective sheet as early as the Palm cut in April, to better keep track of the release experience.

5 minutes

Comments needed for possible PR

@Dean Jay Mathew

The course search behaviour for courses with different visibility settings

  • Raccoongang wants to contribute a PR to solve the course visibility in catalog conundrum. I remember Ghassan and others were working/commenting on this same issue during the Olive testing phase. Let’s give our opinion on this. The Product WG is also going to be commenting on it.

10 minutes

Palm cut date and release date.

@Peter Pinch

Can we review the dates for the Palm release? We had to shuffle most of the major dates for olive due to holidays. Are there other dates that we should discuss?

10 minutes

Project board review

@Jorge Londoño

  • Are these all the issues we need to fix for Olive.2? any new issues?

  • The community test plan is not done yet. It marks 90.6%

  • Are the assigned people the ones that are actually working on the issues?
