[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! This will be a great opportunity to gather ideas, compare and consolidate existing solutions, and plan a path forward for improved analytics in the platform. Interested?
