Fostering effective communication and collaboration between different working groups and contributors within the Open edX community
Facilitating the sharing of knowledge, updates, and best practices across teams.
Coordinating the efforts of different working groups to ensure alignment with the overall goals and objectives of the Open edX community.
Actively seeking to identify blocked contributors, and helping to resolve the blockers
Identifying dependencies, and promoting cross-team collaboration.
Actively seeking opportunities for continuous improvement within the Open edX community. Encouraging working groups to identify areas of improvement, propose solutions, and drive initiatives to enhance efficiency, productivity, and quality.
Establishing feedback channels and mechanisms to gather input, ideas, and concerns from different working groups. Regularly collect feedback, address issues, and ensure that the voices of all teams are heard and considered.
Encouraging active participation and engagement from all working groups within the Open edX community. Foster a sense of belonging, inclusivity, and shared ownership in collective decision-making and community initiatives.

I ping you here because you’re listed as a chair or lead of one of the working groups. We are trying to facilitate the work of @Natalia Chocontá A who writes the working group updates in the forum (see https://discuss.openedx.org/tag/retrospective), and allow you to decide more precisely on what to put in your working group’s updates.
To that end, we are proposing to add a “Latest news” section on each working group wiki page. That section would be updated by each individual working group each sprint (ie every two weeks) - then @Natalia Chocontá A would only have to copy it to the forum post. Currently she has to dig through the meeting notes of each group, and it’s hard for one person to be fully up to date on everything.
@Dave Ormsbee (Axim) Are you the chair of the Architecture working group? Not sure who I should ping there
@Diana Huang @Jeremy Bowman (Deactivated) Same question for you for the Deprecation working group - do you know who is leading that group?
@Xavier Antoviaque I’m on board with this proposal and can start making these kinds of updates. Will pay attention if there are any other updates to the approach.
Here’s the Frontend’s:

@Xavier Antoviaque: Yeah, that’s me, though I’ve been very inactive on that front, and I need to see if I can get a volunteer to push some of those things forward.
Sounds good to me, and thank you for the heads up.
@Natalia Chocontá A @Jorge Londoño As discussed in https://discuss.openedx.org/t/contributors-meetup-async-update-august-19th-2023-september-1st-2023/11087/9 I have given a shot at adding a section to the contributors working groups' wiki page, to make it easier for @Natalia Chocontá A 's work on compiling updates for all working groups (https://discuss.openedx.org/tag/retrospective). Would something like that work?
The idea is that each working group would update this section every sprint, and @Natalia Chocontá A would only have to copy them.
I’ll also ping the other working groups to see if they would agree with the principle.
