Lilac Released

Lilac, the twelfth Open edX community release, is now officially available! Like Koa before it, the Lilac release was coordinated by the Build-Test-Release community working group, led by OpenCraft team member Adolfo Brandes. This new version of the platform comes with a list of improvements and new features, many of which have been proudly worked on by our team : ) Open edX releases are now seeing a lot of community involvement, and we couldn't be happier!

Data Working Group

edX have posted a call for interest to form a community group to work on the future of data and analytics in the Open edX platform. Everyone is welcome to join!
