Meeting notes

2. Working Groups Follow-Ups:

Marketing (@estebanetcheverry ) - start at 4:22:

  • Lista Flow tool was discussed, to measure the time spent on contributions to the community. However, the possibility was mentioned that it should not be measured per person, but per organization and, for practicality, that it should be weighted in results/deliverables and not only in time spent.
  • Update of the Open edX Sandbox. Discussion on the legal approach to using the Sandbox and the edunext brand. Next steps: agree on a solution, either through a royalty payment to edunext for the development of the Sandbox or another alternative.
  • Discussed the need to generate incentives within the Working Group to help ensure that contributions are completed in a timely manner.
