I’m excited to introduce to you a new working group that will focus on the overall code health of the Open edX project. The Maintenance Working Group will focus on the following goals: - Ensure the repositories that support the Open edX core product offering are well maintained. - Support maintainers of Open edX Repositories - Find/Replace maintainers as needed - Prioritize and coordinate major dependency upgrades - Discover and prioritize improvements to make the Open edX ecosystem more maintainable - Develop and document best practices for using maintenance tooling such as Dependabot and Renovate and serve as a center of expertise for such tools. The working group will **NOT** : - Do all the upgrade work.Non-goals - Arbiter every decision regarding architecture or practices for specific parts of the code. - If it does not impact the whole project , we defer decision to local experts. ## Details **Time** : 2024-02-01T13:30:00Z **Video Conference Link** : [https://meet.google.com/cbx-ybic-gyq](https://meet.google.com/cbx-ybic-gyq) Or dial: ‪(US) +1 646-580-9917‬ PIN: ‪664 986 152‬# More phone numbers: [https://tel.meet/cbx-ybic-gyq?pin=4527517331914](https://tel.meet/cbx-ybic-gyq?pin=4527517331914) This meeting is also posted to the [Open edX Working Group Meetings Calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=Y192ODZzaHJuZWdzaHNxZ3A0Zmoyazk0dTdiY0Bncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t).
