Working Groups Follow-Ups:** #### Marketing (@estebanetcheverry ) - [start at 4:22](https://youtu.be/ntfgKeTOAWE?t=262): - 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. #### BTR (@Dean ) - [start at 1:23](https://youtu.be/ntfgKeTOAWE?t=83): - You can find the notes of the last meeting [here](https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/3450568722/2022-07-18+BTR+Meeting+Notes)! #### Frontend (@arbrandes) - [start at 6:37](https://youtu.be/ntfgKeTOAWE?t=397): - The work to add a way for MFEs to fetch configuration dynamically from edx-platform has been finished by the eduNEXT team!

Calls/Offers for Help This is what the core team needs help on now. Note that anyone can help – you don’t need to be a Core Contributor (yet!) for that. The question was “Is there anything where you could use help from others? Or that you would like to collaborate on?” I’d like to understand why the various frontend packages seem to have a lot of conflicting dependency specifications a… If you think you can lend a hand to any of the core contributors that are blocked, feel free to reach out to them! #### Side note: We now have an [Open edX Working Group Calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=c_v86shrnegshsqgp4fj2k94u7bc%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York)! ## Next meetup - Tuesday August 09th at 15:00 UTC ([Timezone converter](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Open+edX+Contributors+Meetup&iso=20220222T15&p1=1440&ah=1)). - Details and draft agenda on [the Github board](https://github.com/openedx/community-wg/issues/70). --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/open-edx-contributors-meetup/1450)._
