Working groups
This is a page dedicated to various working groups that have been formed to collaborate on specific Open edX topics, covering product, engineering, marketing and collaboration.
See Working Group Guidelines and Definition for how to start and manage a working group.
Much of the structure for community working groups will be based on the model of special interest groups at the CentOS project.
