Dropping Python 3.8/3.11

Feanil

• 3.11 will ship to edx.org Wed/Thu next week.

  • Arbi-BOM will be doing this and will coordinate on feanil/python311 reqs by feanil · Pull Request #34788 · openedx/edx-platform when the work is done.

• Related, we’ll be updating .github to default to python 3.11 - Repos that have not upgrade may need to add an override to make requirements.

Prioritization for What Lands on the Main Branches

• Try to capture everything that we want to land on master in prioritized order so that we can coordinate removals and cleanups.

Footer behind a Plugin Slot

For MFEs in tutor, we’re trying a new strategy for how the plugin slot would work.

• Difficult to coordinate with many MFE Leads

• Not all of them implement the footer in the same way.

Upstream Dockerfiles

Kyle

[DEPR]: Dockerfiles and Docker images · Issue #263 · openedx/public-engineering

• Known to be used by devstack and certain 2U deployments

• Question

  • Are there other uses of this that we’re not aware of?

    • RG has used them in production not as is but with some modifications.

      • [Max S] These are not ready for production and needed some work.

  • Is there a value to having Dockerfiles in the repo in general? Especially since Tutor has its own dockerfiles?

    • I think this is valuable but only because we don’t have good docs for how to startup a service from scratch.

    • [Feanil] I like it as a piece of testable documentation for getting an app up and running.
