Thanks @Dean ! > [@Sarina Canelake](#): > > Working on Intro to Dev course. Currently could use help building and reviewing dev env section (both Tutor and Devstack). Reach out to me if interested. @sarina We have some new developers starting in the team - so maybe we could get one or two of them to try your course? @arunmozhi what do you think? > [@Xavier Antoviaque](#): > > We need volunteers to take on action items from the Conference Town Hall: [Community Town Hall: What Are Our Action Items?](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/community-town-hall-what-are-our-action-items/9885) This was brought up during the contributor meetup yesterday, and some of us will have a look and comment 🙂 CC @Felipe > [@Peter Pinch](#): > > I’m looking for some description or documentation of the video social share feature. @pdpinch I don’t know, but I see some related PRs from 2U/edX at [Pull requests · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pulls?q=video+social+share) – @Kelly_Buchanan would you know who could help to provide documentation about the feature? > [@Peter Pinch](#): > > I’m looking for some description or documentation of the Notifications sidebar (see [https://github.com/openedx/wg-build-test-release/issues/293](https://github.com/openedx/wg-build-test-release/issues/293) @pdpinch I don’t know either 🙂 but I see some notifications-related PRs from 2U via Arbisoft at [Pull requests · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pulls?q=notifications++) I think? @Zia.Fazal @Zia_Fazal would you know who could help to provide documentation about the feature? > [@Peter Pinch](#): > > |We need to stop linking PR descriptions to tickets that aren’t public. @pdpinch This came up in the past, though more for commit descriptions – the outcome of the discussion back then was this change: [E0d/proposed footer changes by e0d · Pull Request #348 · openedx/open-edx-proposals · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/open-edx-proposals/pull/348/files) – the linking is allowed in commits (and by extension in PR descriptions?), but it shouldn’t be an optional footnote, not something part of the title or necessary to understand the ticket. Do you have some examples that don’t follow this guideline? We could reach out to their authors to remind them of the rule on their PRs? Happy to help with this. > [@Peter Pinch](#): > > Many, if not all, MFE settings do not have annotations. @pdpinch Do we have a rule/decision somewhere about this? I remember discussions about this in the past, though not sure if we ended up taking a proper decision on it? If so, we could do something similar – if not, we could establish a rule? > [@Peter Pinch](#): > > Needs review: [https://github.com/openedx/docs.openedx.org/pull/321](https://github.com/openedx/docs.openedx.org/pull/321). > Needs review:[https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-communications/pull/134](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-communications/pull/134). Looks like these have been reviewed and merged in the meantime 🙂 👍 * * * And an additional topic that came up during the contributor meetup yesterday – there is now a disconnect between the dates of the core contributor sprints, which come up every two weeks, and the contributor meetup which happens twice a month. It is ok most of the time, but since a month is slightly more than 4 weeks, it ended up drifting. So we discussed adjusting the dates for the contributors meetups to follow the same dates as the core contributors sprint, ie every two weeks. I have made the change on the calendar – if you spot any issue with it let me know. CC @jalondonot ---

> [@antoviaque](#): > > @sarina We have some new developers starting in the team - so maybe we could get one or two of them to try your course? @arunmozhi what do you think? This would be good. I’d especially like help building the Tutor section in Module 2. The Devstack section is written and under review. I’ve asked Farhaan to review Module 1 (Arch Overview) but new eyes on that would also be welcome. (by the way it might make sense for you to give all names to Legal under the entity agreement so anyone can jump in to review/produce content) ---

Thank you @Natalia_Choconta for compiling these updates and keeping us all informed of what’s going on with all the working groups 😄 I noticed we had a lot of new people joining the cc program this month… so great! Would this meet-up and update be a good place to highlight and welcome new members?

> [@jill](#): > > Thank you @Natalia_Choconta for compiling these updates and keeping us all informed of what’s going on with all the working groups 😄 +1! 👍 Btw @Natalia_Choconta I’ve moved the update in this thread from @Dean, since he had posted it before you this time. Next time we should be [back in sync with the core contributors sprint every 4 weeks](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/core-contributor-sprint-retro-2023-05-27-2023-06-10/10478/2), as the next contributors meetup will be on July 11th. Does that work for you for the next working groups update? ---

Thank u @antoviaque. It works perfect for the next update! With @jalondonot we adjusted the update dates and they are synchronized with the Sprint retro.
