Core Contributor Sprint Retro - April 29th - May 13th

[antoviaque (Xavier Antoviaque (OpenCraft) - opencraft.com/help)]

Some additional notes from the discussions at the contributors meetup:

Missing permission

|- Although I am part of the BTR working group, and I am working on testing the nutmeg release, I cannot assign (myself) BTR issues. Nor can I close them. (@pdpinch)

Since the tickets permissions are linked to the repository permissions, @pdpinch will request these permissions (potentially with other release group members also needing this).

Tutor deployment at scale & Kubernetes - Collaboration

There is an ongoing discussion on this, on the following thread: Tech talk/demo: Deploying multiple Open edX instances onto a Kubernetes Cluster with Tutor – if we pull together around a common architecture & project to handle this, we can share the maintenance and help each other?

@Felipe will post notes from the meeting in the thread, and schedule the next meeting there to discuss it.

Frontend

|The learning MFE has a LOT of conditional views that use SCSS variables and it’s hard to always know how to configure a course properly so those can be seen. It would be nice to have a demo course configuration, or a guide to getting everything enabled. (@xitij2000)

@arbrandes and @djoy will discuss and @arbrandes will get back to @xitij2000 about this.

Also I have mentioned that @xitij2000 and @abstract-technology will reach out to @arbrandes to figure out a better time for the frontend working group meeting, to be able to join it and discuss topics like this.

Improvements & blockers

Nutmeg - Need contributors for Tutor plugins!

|Still waiting on some plugins for nutmeg (ecommerce in particular). (@sambapete)

|There are still many Tutor plugins that need a Maintainer (highlighted in bold below):COOKIECUTTER, ANDROID , DISCOVERY, ECOMMERCE, FORUM, INDIGO 1 , MFE, MINIO , NOTES, WEBUI , XQUEUE . Plus a number of these also need to be upgraded to Nutmeg, see this post to learn more: Open edX Contributors Meetup - #93 by jalondonot (@Dean)
Since we have moved to Tutor, ideally we would have more developers joining the Tutor Maintainers program and adopting a plugin if possible. (@Dean)

@Felipe will take one, and the topic will be brought up during the next working group meeting.

|There were changes to openedx/configuraiton that broke regular branch builds, I needed this to showcase some demos but hopefully this will be fixed soon. (@xitij2000)

@xitij2000 Has this been fixed? The repository being non-supported, this will likely happen more and more. Do we have plans to deprecate the branch builds?
