Here is the retrospective for the most recent Core Contributor (CC) sprint:
Calls/offers for help
This is what the core team needs help on now. Note that anyone can help – you don’t need to be a Core Contributor (yet!) for that:
Is there anything where you could use help from others? Or that you would like to collaborate on?
| When I suggest a change to a repo (Open a PR). Which I don’t have commit history with, the tests won’t run, unless someone trigger them. I found that to be really unproductive for me… Specially when I can’t replicate the tests locally i.e. codecov. Is there anything to be done to enhance this experience? | Ghassan Maslamani |
|---|---|
| I would like all Core Contributors to please fill in the sprint retro survey, at least the hours completed section. I would like to collaborate/learn more about extending TestX with Kyle McCormick (the creator of TestX) and anyone who wants to learn more about TestX in preparation for Olive. | Dean Jay Mathew |
| Need comments about the technical committee (TOC) election process: TOC Community Members Elections - Brainstorm thread. Carry-over items from previous sprints – help needed: Need input from providers deploying Tutor at scale – we are looking for areas of collaboration on this, to share maintenance & dev costs: Tech talk/demo: Deploying multiple Open edX instances onto a Kubernetes Cluster with Tutor - #53 by antoviaque. Need reviewers for contributions in several PRs: 2U - External Contributions · GitHub. Tutor e-commerce plugins needs to be upgraded: Nutmeg by sambapete · Pull Request #28 · overhangio/tutor-ecommerce · GitHub | Xavier Antoviaque |
| K8s should have a dedicated space of collaboration. There are many things that are not working, or that need a special consideration to implement. | Andrés González |
| Can someone invite me to the BTR meetings (maria.grimaldi@edunext.co)? I always forget the hour and miss the start of the meeting | Maria Grimaldi |
| I’d like to set up readthedocs to maintain versions of the edx-platform technical reference | Peter Pinch |
| I’m looking for some documentation reviewers, if anyone is interested in reviewing docs as we establish the new docs standards, let me know. If you’re a repo maintainer and want to improve the docs story for your repo also let me know, I’m looking for a small/medium repo to use for initial experimentation. | Feanil Patel |
What went well?
What went well these last two weeks / sprint?
| I did most of what I planned to do | Ghassan Maslamani |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Nutmeg testing went well, very thankful to those who have put their hand up for these tasks. Marketing group is doing some good work. | Dean Jay Mathew |
| Notice an uptick in forums posts from all sections of the community Nutmeg release very smooth, great work all around | Sarina Canelake |
The transition away from Friday was on time, and seem to be working well! (fingers crossed  ) |
Xavier Antoviaque |
| Advanced in testing Maple and Nutmeg in K8s | Andrés González |
| Reviewed some PRs that had some time in my worklog | Maria Grimaldi |
| The BTR working group completed Nutmeg testing in time. The BTR working group released Nutmeg on time. | Pierre Mailhot |
| Community testing continues to be great. Nutmeg release went pretty smoothly | Peter Pinch |
| I was able to be more active on the forum, and show the community what I’ve been working on. | Ali Hugo |
| I found out that some people outside of edunext are already creating filters and merging them to master. Ideally this should go in the external library, but seeing filters get traction is great. | Felipe Montoya |
| edx-webhooks had a bunch of major library upgrades that are now complete. | Feanil Patel |
| The Open edX Meetup was a huge success and all the work and effort invested into preparing this event was worth it. Promoting the review platform of e-learning industry among our clients was good. We invested some time in order to prepare a good e-mail campaign in which we ask our clients to submit their review of the Open edX platform. fingerscrossed that all of our clients will submit a review. | Nicole Kessler |
| Ongoing process, no blocker at the moment (only some colleagues on holiday). I couldn’t join the MFE working group on the 9th. due to the conflict with the Open Edx event. | Steffania Trabucchi |
| Reviews… | Piotr Surowiec |
