Welcome to the Open edX 2022 Conference, hosted by Nova SBE and FCT | FCCN! This year’s theme is all about shaping the future of education together, and tackling challenges around expanding access to education globally, the future of work, up-skilling, re-skilling, and life-long learning.
Given that the Open edX project consists of 100+ software repositories and hundreds of dependencies on externally maintained open source projects, the potential for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and upgrade issues is high. To reduce the level of effort and more efficiently stay on top of these items, we're taking steps to automate the process and distribute maintenance efforts across more people willing and able to contribute.
