I brought up the blockers & requests for collaboration during the synchronous contributor meetup yesterday:

## Analytics - looking for use cases

> [@Jill](#):
>
> Looking for data analytics use cases to guide the charts shipped with OARS: [OnlineQuestions.org: A free online tool to ask and upvote questions](https://bit.ly/datadreams) Reach out if you or your team are interested in helping us build it!

@jill We have advertised this during the contributors meetup yesterday - do you still need more use cases? I assume you are already providing the examples from OpenCraft - if not we can look into it.

Also, a question that came up – are you already getting examples from 2U use cases? At the conference a lot of hands were raised when asking who in the audience of the OARS talk were using the Open edX analytics pipeline, and that was probably staff or partners from 2U/edX.org. If not, to unblock it it could be worth talking to @Kelly_Buchanan and @nedbat about it. It was noted that the larger scale of 2U might not make it interested in OARS, but that it would still be useful to get the list of most useful graphs from 2U – and there has been interest in adopting OARS within 2U.

## Palm release - Which MFEs?

> [@Peter](#):
>
> I’d love some feedback on which MFEs should be included in the Palm release. You can see the list of candidates and share your thoughts on this issue: [Palm: List of new MFEs · Issue #250 · openedx/wg-build-test-release · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/wg-build-test-release/issues/250)

The list here seem to have been determined already:

> In meeting with [@pdpinch](https://github.com/pdpinch), we decided to pursue the following for Palm:
> 
> - frontend-app-ora-grading
> - frontend-app-communications
> - frontend-app-learner-dashboard

Though it’s worth bringing it up if there is any issue with this - Jenna suggested adding the new problem editor. Details on the [issue](https://github.com/openedx/wg-build-test-release/issues/250).

Noted during the discussion: if there are blockers, for example from repositories that don’t have official maintainers from 2U – refer to Ned and Kelly to help facilitating discussions and decisions, as mentioned above.

## Codeconv issue

> [@Peter](#):
>
> What’s going on with codecov? A token error is causing [tests to fail in cs\_comment\_service](https://github.com/openedx/cs_comments_service/actions/runs/4478957403/jobs/8186899515?pr=409). Does it need to be removed from all repos?

This has been solved via the core-contributor channel on Slack: [Slack](https://openedx.slack.com/archives/C015KC8CN76/p1681778164259139)

## Requests for reviews & merges

> [@Peter](#):
>
> - Can [fix: BadOraLocationResponse error by dyudyunov · Pull Request #168 · openedx/frontend-app-ora-grading · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-ora-grading/pull/168) or [fix: BadOraLocationResponse error by dyudyunov · Pull Request #168 · openedx/frontend-app-ora-grading · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-ora-grading/pull/168) get reviewed and merged, so we can include frontend-app-ora-grading in the Palm release?
> - Can someone review and merge this PR, which is blocking the ORA grading MFE from being included in the Palm release? [fix: locationId should strip PUBLIC\_PATH prefix by arbrandes · Pull Request #146 · openedx/frontend-app-ora-grading · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-ora-grading/pull/146)

@pdpinch Thanks for escalating those PRs – @Kelly_Buchanan is going to have a look at them. CC @itsjeyd

## Town hall feedback

> [@Xavier](#):
>
> The town hall was great! It would be good to have it more often, and maybe some concrete action items and follow-ups from it? Anything else?

People present in the contributors meetup liked it, and would also like to do it again. Feedback from the [conference feedback form](https://tcril.tfaforms.net/forms/view/26) will be reviewed to decide whether it’s done again or not.

For action items, there wasn’t a lot of time available for the town hall, so that wasn’t included - but notes of the meeting will be published, individuals should then create and assign tasks based on these discussions. @sarina has created a thread to list action items coming from the town hall: [Community Town Hall: What Are Our Action Items?](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/community-town-hall-what-are-our-action-items/9885)

Also to note that there is a concrete task that has been assigned: the creation of the educators working group, which is in progress.
