See last year's sessions. These sessions happen during coffee breaks (see schedule).
Proposed BoF topics
Add your proposal for a topic here:
Title | Description | Proposer | Interested? (tag yourself using @{your name}) |
|---|---|---|---|
| What do you want to learn? | Let's discuss past or future courses, or whatever you have learned in the last year that you want to share, or your learning plans. Maybe courses in edX, maybe about edX, maybe outside edX. Any topic or skill (not only about technology). The point is to meet others who like learning and discuss learning experiences. | Daniel Clemente Laboreo, OpenCraft | |
| Community Governance | Who wants to discuss the direction of governance for the Open edX Community? | John Mark Walker (Deactivated) | Giulio Gratta, Peter Pinch Xavier Antoviaque, |
| Advanced Studio Training | HarvardX is working on an advanced edX Studio training course. We'd like feedback on topics, approaches, and potential distribution venues. | Colin Fredericks | |
| Python 3 Hackfest | Let's get together and help knock out some INCR tickets, to help move the Open edX platform toward python 3 compatibility. | Cliff Dyer (OpenCraft) | Jeremy Bowman (Deactivated) |
| OLX Versioning | Between the changes to transcripts last fall, and FBE now, I feel like we’re headed into a lot of versioning problems in the coming year and I’d like to try to get ahead of it Changes like these are seldom documented and can cause unexpected problems when moving courses from one server to another, or interfere with other authoring processes. It's time we had versioning scheme for OLX, if not something more robust like a schema. Or maybe we can just update the documentation. | Peter Pinch | |
| The mobile MOOC | Project, Designed & Expericial Based learning with Creative Spaces like Makerspaces, Biolabs, Artist Residencies etc. Multilingual hacking, and tools avail to develop content in many languages. | Michael Williams | |
| Community PRs Triaging | Open edX community members, come meet Community Manager Natalia and chat about how she triages incoming PRs. We will be glad to hear your feedback and ideas. | Natalia Berdnikov (Deactivated) | |
| A11y | Accessibility of the edX platform and particularly of course content. Got interesting/complex/unusual content and you aren't sure how to make it accessible? Music, chemistry, charts, diagrams, MathJax, PDFs, ePubs, Word docs, etc. I'll have suggestions and resources. | Jeff Witt (Deactivated) |
