I did not get the thumbs up from Xavier yet but the feedback was going on a productive direction so I prepared the proposal so as to not miss the deadline too greatly.

My proposal: Grove: easy and powerful management for Open edX deployments in cloud providers

Thanks for the proposals - looking all good! For some I have made some comments and inline suggestions directly in the documents, but they all seem good to submit once applied/addressed. :+1:

@gabriel How are we currently doing towards getting all the proposals in and approved? If there are some still missing they need to be posted here asap.

Question for @antoviaque and team: Have folks received a request from Sarina to review community talk proposals and if so, can we justify some amount of hours for this?

Could someone share an example for the speaker biography section? Iā€™m not sure what to include there :sweat_smile:

I actually presubmitted a while back on the hopes Iā€™d get early feedback (even past the originally noted cutoff date for feedback) and Sarina gave it a review. Now that Iā€™ve addressed the notes from her and from Xavier, Iā€™m going to post the updated version to Sessionize.

Fox is a ā€˜Full Stack Business Developerā€™ who leads sales at OpenCraft. He has a history of contributions to the platform and other open source projects, and has spent time as an executive and staffer for fan conventions. He also runs his own business, Artconomy.com.

Basically, an overview of your career background is how I approached it.

Iā€™ve posted reminders on all incomplete tickets! Also, posting it here just in case:

:clock11: You have until next Monday (Nov 25 EOD) to have your final proposal reviewed and approved here, and to submit it.

Here is a proposed Open edX 2025 talk. Please let me know your thoughts.

Here is my talk proposal.

@DouglasDraper Yes, others have also had this - you can create a task against the epic & budget of the 2025 conference. This counts as core contributor time.

@paulo @DouglasDraper Your talk proposals look good too :+1: I have left some comments in the documents, but you are good to submit them once the comments are addressed, I wonā€™t need to review again.

@gabriel Who are we still missing? Let me know if you donā€™t get answers, I can go ping them.

I have submitted two of my talk proposals but will hold off on submitting the ā€œDeprecating Discoveryā€ proposal until Iā€™ve heard back from some potential collaborators that Iā€™m messaging on Slack.

@Agrendalath I have done a pass of review - see my comments on the document. It is fine to submit it once the comments addressed, unless you want me to have another look first.

I have also been invited to do a joint talk with Dave and Kyle from Axim about Learning Core, so Iā€™m going to be joining their proposal about that.

Iā€™ve just completed a review of all the proposal tasks, and aside from a single reminder Iā€™ve sent out, everything looks under control. All talk proposals have either been submitted or are in progress. Kudos to the team! :rocket:

I got notified that my talk ā€œPast, present, and future of Search in Open edXā€ was accepted :slightly_smiling_face:, as well as a talk that Iā€™m co-presenting with Axim, ā€œFarewell, MongoDB: Migrating Course Content to a Relational Data Modelā€.

Others are still being evaluated.

Iā€™m happy to take on co-presenters too if anyone needs/wants.

And the proposal for the Open Source Masterclass presentation was accepted, with the others also still pending. Marc and RĆ©mi from the project will be co-presenting it with me, but if you end up without a talk to present and are interested in helping, let me know.
