Charter
The goal of the working group is to cooperate on the deployment and maintenance of large or multi-sites Open edX instances.
Historically, such collaboration was done through the edx-configuration repository, which was maintained as the main deployment method for Open edX by edX. Following the deprecation of the edx-configuration repository, there is no such common ground for collaboration on the deployment of large instances of Open edX. Tutor took over a part of the official deployment process, but focuses on small instances and immediate ease of use, leaving aside the specificity of larger instances. As a result, many Open edX operators and providers have redeveloped custom solutions, often duplicating the work and its maintenance.
This working group is a place where community members come to put their resources in common, to collaborate on the development of solutions specific to running large or multi-site instances, and share its direction and maintenance.

These are things we have discussed, but don’t have anyone actively working on.
Tutor improvements - Are there issues or blockers that people face with Tutor, which wouldn't already be addressed by the current initiative?
