Open edX want to start a Data Working Group. We certainly have ideas and opinions on the matter; is someone interested in being part of this group?
Let me know if we need to create a new Tempo account for time spent working with the group.
ticket to log work (for now)
I’m totally interested, and have joined #wg-data, but I generally can’t make it to synchronous meetings in Boston timezones.
@gabriel Thanks for relaying this. For logging the time though, can it be on cell-specific tickets? Time logged on BIZ ticket don’t count in cells sustainability, so they would be unbounded – for this reason, it’s important that only non-cell members log time on BIZ tickets.
@antoviaque sure, note taken. What account should I use for this? Contributions? Or create a new one?
@gabriel Yup, the contributions account can work - as long as it’s logged on a ticket belonging to a specific cell, it will count against that cell’s contributions budget. Note that it’s a cell budget, so the cell itself is the one deciding whether to spend time on it or not (based both on sustainability, and availability).
@antoviaque got it, thanks.
@raul @jill I don’t know how you manage recurring tasks like helping the community or discussing subjects like analytics, should I create a ticket or maybe there’s an existing one that we can use?
+1, we need to limit it if the cell doesn’t have sustainability. Attending a meeting or doing small tasks is ok when it’s a small amount of hours. But please don’t promise edX we’ll start a new project based on this, or that we’ll do recurring work. We’d need to check budgets first to see whether the cell can do it, and which cell.
