CC Rights Expansion and Maintainership for xblocks-contrib and xblock-extras

Working Groups Core Contributors

To help with the maintenance burden and improve the edx-platform, we’ve been in the process of moving various xblocks out of the platform (xblocks-contrib) and consolidating blocks that don’t have maintainers (xblocks-extras) into a shared repo.

The work has been lead by the Aximprovements team and so I’d like to expand their CC Rights to include both of these repos (one of which is in the process of being created).

Functionally I’d like to expand the rights of:

@feanil I apologize, I missed this nomination thread.

I’m +1 on this. I think it’s worth extending the deadline and advertising the thread in Slack to get more eyes on it.

At the end of the comment period, a candidate is approved if there are at least 5 (five) affirmative “yes” votes from current CCs, and zero “no” votes.

So, I’ll update the date here a re-broadcast this with the correct expectations.

These folks have been doing great work on the very complicated task of extracting XBlocks from edx-platform to xblocks-contrib, while also contributing towards maintenance of many repositories. They also are already trusted CCs on edx-platform. +1 from me.

+1 from me. Thanks for taking this on!

8

Also +1 from me.

+1 from me as well.

With sufficient yes votes and no votes against. This expansion is approved.
