Core Contributor Sprint Retro - September 5-18

There have been 320 hours worked on the last two weeks - which is a nice increase compared to last sprint!

Calls for help/collaboration

  • Please apply as a candidate! And relay the news about the election to the Open edX instances you have access to. (Xavier)
  • Would love to have more 15-30 min chats with Core Contributors to discuss how you feel about first 6 months of program. please reach out email or slack! (Sarina)
  • If you want to get involved with the project to replace Devstack with Tutor, join #tutor-adoption. We have bi-weekly sprint plannings where we prioritize and distribute issues – let me know in the Slack channel if you want an invite. (Kyle)

What should be improved?

  • We should check Listalow early on the week to identify possible issues, so we don’t have to rush at the end (Maria)
  • It would be great if there were more frontend-focused community members interested in joining the Frontend Working group meetings. Right now, only a couple of organizations are regularly represented. (Adolfo)
  • There haven’t been a lot of relays of the news about the election from the community – this is going to limit us as a community. How can we improve this? What’s missing to relay the news? (Xavier)
  • All coding CCs should feel empowered to provide reviews on other repos. this is a great way to spend your CC hours budget, and a great way to expand your CC repos (if you wish) (Sarina)
