Decisions

Based on the poll results (https://discuss.openedx.org/t/request-for-comments-redwood-release-testing-strategy-your-input-needed/12282/5 ), the BTR has decided to implement recommendations number 1, 8, 5, 3, 7, 4, and 6, from the Redwood Release Testing Strategy to the current release testing process.
Since there was no quorum for deciding on whether to implement recommendation number 2 (Cut the official testing period in half) or not, we’ll keep the conversation open in Slack.
