Follow-up on action items of previous meeting

  • @Jorge Londoño will post a call for help in the Community channels for filling the vacant BTR roles.

  • @Jorge Londoño will post the proposal for postponing the cutting date 2 weeks and holding a meeting to deciding if, based on the input from the Product WG, we can cut the release on the set date or we can wait one sprint more for landing more features to the specific release.

  • @Jorge Londoño will ask the BTR team to review the prototype and provide feedback.

  • @Jenna Makowski and @Chelsea Rathbun will keep filling the spreadsheet until the new Testing Coordinator is designated to start coordinating the work with him/her.

@Jorge Londoño

  • BTR roles:

    • Bug triager

      • @Ghassan will likely be able to help us. He’ll confirm this week.

      • @Donato Bracuto (edunext) has confirmed his availability to help us with the role.

  • Postponing the cutting date

    • We didn’t get any additional feedback from the BTR members.

 

 

The Release Testing Coordinator position hasn’t been filled yet

@Jorge Londoño

  • @Peter Pinch offered to fill this position in case there’s no one else in the community eager to do it.

@Jorge Londoño will ask for help a last time during the next Contributor Meetup on March 19 and let Peter know the outcome.

 

Making a decision about postponing the cutting session and the testing start

@Jorge Londoño

  • We’ve decided to postpone the Redwood cutting session and wait until the next Redwood release monthly planning, on April 11, to get a final update on the ongoing projects' progress. Based on that information, determine and schedule the definitive date in April for cutting Redwood.

@Jorge Londoño will notify the BTR members and Community about the decision we’ve made.

 

MFEs in Redwood - any new ones? Can the build time actually handle any new ones?

@Kyle McCormick

  • To stop OOMs when building: limit number of builds that happen in parallel.

  • Impact on those building with CI infrastructure?

  • Full build takes 2+ hours for RG, new MFE would be ~20 extra minutes.

  • Adolfo will follow up with Glib and David Joy w.r.t Piral project.

 

 

Plugins and JS configuration support

@Adolfo Brandes

See issue in tutor-mfe: Support Javascript configuration · Issue #199 · overhangio/tutor-mfe
