I wanted to invite anyone interested in deprecation work related to the Open edX platform to the Deprecation Working Group. This was previously an internal edX working group, but with the acquisition and separation from TCRIL, this seemed like the perfect time to start making it a more open and community-focused group.
Our current areas of interest are: the future of Elasticsearch, clearing off some of the long-standing tickets on the DEPR Board, and ensuring folks have the resources they need to feel confident that they can remove something.
We meet once every two weeks on Tuesdays. You can investigate our calendar of meetings to keep up with when they’re happening. Feel free to drop in when you have time or interest and to add things to our meeting agenda when you have something to discuss.
We are on Slack in the #depr-slash-n-burn channel if you want to talk deprecations asynchronously.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns or suggestions. I hope to see you around!
New Year, New Us. There’s a new page for our meeting agenda if you want to keep up with what we’re doing and want to add something to talk about in the future.
Hi, @Diana_Huang I’m a backend developer currently working at eduNEXT. I would like to join the Deprecation Working Group but I’m unable to access the slack channel.
There is some filter I need to pass or anything I need to do?
There aren’t any restrictions on joining the Slack channel as long as you’re on the Open edX Slack. If you need to join the Open edX Slack, you can enter your email here to get an invite: http://openedx-slack-invite.herokuapp.com/
I have the results of running deadcode on the edx-platform. I can’t attach it here since I’m a new user. What should I do next? There results are in the Github ticket anyways.
(I’m not sure where to put this. All of these discussions seem pretty old, so I’m just putting it at the end.)
I mostly pointed you here in case you could attend one of the synchronous (via Zoom) deprecation working group meetings (next one is happening on July 13) so you can talk to us about what you found and what else you might be interested in helping us out with. I will take an initial look at what you found, and then maybe the working group can also spin that out into other tickets.
