Test-a-thon @ conference

How can we plan (birds of a feather as per Sarina’s suggestion) this for the 2026 conference?

New point releases process

How are we doing?

Verawood release 23/04

How are we preparing for the release in two weeks?

Verawood release - concerns from Named Release Planning (2026/04/02)

NEEDS CONFIRMATION

LTI 1.3 bug fixes (most critical)

Aamir flagged that without the bug fixes, almost half of LTI 1.3 tools don't work. The backend work got a hours extension but it's unclear if that extension also covers this. Sarina still needs to review Fenil's estimates before deciding.

Aside documentation

Still marked at risk, same as the previous planning meeting. Cut date is April 23rd for the code repo part. No one on the call could give an update. Peter confirmed it's still a concern.

New studio roles / permissions

Marked at risk during the call - Sarina flagged it while going through the sheet. No owner on the call to give an update.

Copyright acceptance

Was on track last time but no update available - Cassie is in South Africa and missed the meeting. Needs continued follow-up.

Worth watching
  • Mobile course content visual progress - unclear if it landed before the release cut; Chelsea is following up with Eddie

  • React 18 - was at risk but the 2-week push from BTR may give them enough time; not considered a blocker
