Cross Pollination Tools/features/opportunities Tips and tricks Roadmap news	Diana MySQL 8 migration is starting has had some impacts on devstack notes: tutor is all mysql8 by default, Palm assumes mysql8 devstack is 5.7 by default if on 5.7 on a production instance, folks should get it changed by EOY. Worth a discourse post? Ask BTR 5.7 EOL is 2023-10-21 Jeremy Maintenance Kanban board has been moved from edx to openedx: Maintenance • openedx Workflow also slightly tweaked after meeting to reconcile with Axim’s contributions board: Contributions • openedx Maintenance Board (GitHub Project) Notes: More announcements coming up Very close to native Arm images for devstack Becca Trying to get quantitative measurements on how long it takes people to go from joining the org to their first merged PR
Challenges Each challenge should have a follow up action. If you have an idea for follow up actions, add it. Or if you aren’t sure, leave it blank. We’ll discuss all actions either way.	Becca Tutor on M2 (see discussion notes) GitHub’s graphql api is very bad, it’s hard to figure out when everyone (or anyone) joined Diana updating ubuntu packages that need to be installed (for MySQL 8) in all the places it needs to be updated package is called pkg-config might need to go into BTR notes
Successes DevExp wins!	Becca Given a username, we can get this person’s first merged PR for open/edx, which is half the battle
Suggested Action Items	Last Time: @Kyle McCormick review Jeremy’s doc, add details about Tutor changes in Palm This Time: @Rebecca Graber (Deactivated) to follow up with BTR about making sure everyone knows about the mysql8 upgrade (EOL 10/21)
Look at the board	The board: Developer Experience Working Group • openedx Top-level initiatives: DevX: Top-Level Initiatives & Epics · Issue #1 · openedx-unsupported/wg-developer-experience
