@Dean Thank you for the recap! We have done a recap of the work from the core sprints during the contributors meetup, and quickly brought up the following two points:

@Fox_Piacenti Could you look into this for the upcoming checkin?

@farhaanbukhsh Is there something specific you are looking for to decide on which working group to join, besides meeting times? On that topic, note that it’s often possible to participate async to working groups, by following the meeting videos and interacting via github, wiki, etc. It’s not always the easiest, but it’s actually good for the working groups to have some async contributors, it pushes to do more things async!

Also if you haven’t seen it yet, here is the page listing the groups and their descriptions: https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/46793351/Open+edX+Working+Groups

ohh thanks for the help @antoviaque I didn’t know these meetings are recorded, where can I find the meeting videos?

I am very interested in Frontend-WG, Dev Experience and BTR. I have already added these meeting for now on my calendar so that I get reminded of them. :slight_smile:

@farhaanbukhsh Good question, it’s probably something that would deserve to be listed on the working groups page I was giving above, but it isn’t currently.

For the BTR group I could find it there: https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/3185508485/BTR+Meeting+Minutes

For the other ones, the best might be to ask the chairs of the working groups you’re interested in :slight_smile: (and maybe add the information to the working groups page in the wiki afterwards, this way others will find out more easily in the future?)
