Notes from the core contributors sprint planning meeting of Fri, March 4th 2022.
Retrospective outcome
Here are the feedback items from the last retrospective - we reviewed all the blockers and improvements listed: (reference: Core Contributors - Sprint Planning & Retro - Google Sheets )
| # | Blockers & improvements | Reported by |
|---|---|---|
| A | My async communication with the BTR group still needs improvement and I haven’t been able to work on a ticket that’s assigned to me. I’m going to time block some time in my calendar (weekly) to dedicate to BTR | @BbrSofiane |
| B | haven’t the time to collaborate in repo reviews | @jhony_avella |
| C | Personally, I had very little time to spend on open edX this sprint , Understanding what will be included in the next release requires a lot of individual communication. I guess if someone has to do it, it should be me, the “release notes expert” but I also feel like it shouldn’t require so much Slack to understand what’s in progress. | @pdpinch |
| D | We still need to know who can review the different PRs implementing filters, or if we only need to inform and only have CCs as reviewers | @Felipe |
| E | Get responses to the survey about core sprints | @antoviaque |
| F | Getting my PR reviewed | @Zia_Fazal |
| G | - Unsure exactly who to query about merging and deploying these OSPRs given the edX/2U/tCRIL split, but I’ve asked on the tickets. | @jill |
To detail & follow-up on them:
A,B,C – not enough time. This seem to be a recurring point, and isn’t surprising. But it might be worth looking into if core contributors don’t get enough time assigned for their core dutires – there have been commitments from multiple organizations to provide it, so it could be worth bringing it up at the institution level, to get the bosses to help?
D,F,G – it currently seem unclear who can review some of the PRs. It has been mentioned that an effort is underway to add a page to publish skills/specialties of people with access to the codebase?
E – Important reminder: don’t forget to answer the survey about the core contributors sprints, posted just above. Many answers to the survey are still missing.
