Let's talk about the native installation

Here’s the video (and chat log) of the Devstack Pow-Wow we held yesterday. Big thanks to all who attended!

The brunt of the meeting was about clarifying what Tutor can, can’t, and might be able to do, but here are a few highlights of the discussion that ensued:

  • The so-called “distributed devstack” project was put on hold by edX after some experimentation, but there are plans to improve documentation in the official devstack
  • edX will start investigating Tutor as a development environment for internal use; “why develop two tools to solve the same problem (caveat: if it’s indeed the same problem)”
  • @regis will start working on a way for Tutor to support the master branch of edx-platform - once this is ready, we’ll notify @feanil so he can try it out
  • The question was raised as to whether it would be possible for Tutor to use the same Dockerfiles as edx-platform: no conclusion was reached, except that it doesn’t seem to be impossible and warrants further discussion
  • @Diana_Huang’s cat wanted to eat her webcam at around 00:29:29

IMHO, a very good meeting. 10/10, would do it again.
