2024-05-30 Meeting notes

When to start the Python 3.12 Upgrade

• some things to figure out

  • setuptools is no longer default--would need to use something else or install it explicitly

• how to prioritize?

• ~Oct 10 is the date it needs to land

Jest Upgrade

Jest 26 to 29 Upgrade · Issue #239 · openedx/public-engineering will be updated with blocking tickets.

edx-platform NPM Upgrades

More of these happening in the near future. Will announce in #cc-edx-platform as they are landing.

removal of legacy frontends that are now unneeded

• studio-frontend, requiring removal of:

  • legacy text XBlock editor

  • legacy course outline

  • legacy files & uploads

• studio advanced settings

• learner dash

• any others?

  • profile

  • account

  • authn

• some have deprs that are active. some of these have deprs that have stalled. some don’t have deprs at all

Maintenance Board

• Target Release Date

  • Have both release name and month on board

    • Month may differ for same release

      • eg “Sumac - July” vs “Sumac - October”

      • <=> “land in sumac, merge by July”

  • Feanil will add a board field

Node 20 Upgrade

• We want to focus on removing deprecated frontend code before we do the Node 20 upgrade to reduce our maintenance burden.

  • 2U:TNL will identify what can be removed given the recent course-authoring work.

  • DEPR WG will identify what old MFE replacements were incomplete and what old front-end can be deprecated.

• For legacy frontend we might need to keep them for some time if there is a big gap in features between the MFE and the legacy frontend.
